An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the handling of banknotes is described, but besides banknotes, for example, stocks as securities may be considered. These are collectively called banknotes.

1 is a side view showing the configuration of a bill storage box of a bill handling mechanism mounted on an automatic cash transaction device traded at a financial institution. Banknote storage box (1) arranges two partition boards which block inside the storage space (2) indicated by a dashed-dotted line, and the upper compartment (4) and the lower partition board (5) above the upper partition board (5). The lower separating mechanism 7 which has the lower storage part 6 of the lower part, and isolate | separates the banknote laminated | stacked on the lower storage part 6 from the lower banknote 6a one by one, and the upper part of the storage box 1 The upper partition board 3 which accumulates and separates the banknotes of the upper accumulation section 4 from the integrated separator 8 (mechanism installed in the stacker described later) disposed on the banknote handling mechanism of the main body. The upper partition board drive mechanism 9 which raises and lowers it is provided.

The lower partition board 5 moves the range of 5a shown in FIG. 1 while pressing the upper surface of the banknote of the lower storage part 6. The pressing plate 21 of the upper partition plate 3 is marked with 21a, which is a range from a position where banknotes are stacked on the upper storage portion 4 to reach the pickup roller 40 of the integrated separation mechanism 8. In moving the range, the upper partition plate driving mechanism 9 moves the range indicated by 9a in the bill storage box 1. On the other hand, the upper partition plate 3 and the upper partition plate drive mechanism 9 are operated so that the pressing plate 21 of the upper partition plate 3 extends from the partition plate drive mechanism 9 above the storage box for the mechanism described later. do. In addition, the bill storage box (1) has a lid (1a) at the top and operates in the open state as shown.

As described above, the separation and stacking of the banknotes of the upper storage part 4 of the banknotes storage box 1 are performed by using the stacking mechanism 8 of the banknote handling apparatus of the main body. Since mounting of rollers and the like necessary for the integrated separation mechanism is unnecessary, the bill storage box 1 can be made light in weight and small in size.

The state which attached the banknotes storage box 1 to the banknote handling mechanism inside the automatic teller machine is shown in FIG. Before explaining the detailed structure of the banknote storage box 1, the operation | movement and a function of the banknote handling mechanism 10 are demonstrated. Of course, the banknote storage box 1 is a structure which can be taken out from this banknote handling mechanism.

The banknote handling mechanism 10 includes an entry / exit outlet 11 for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, three types of banknote boxes 12, 13, and 14 for accumulating and separating banknotes according to the types of banknotes, a discriminating unit 15 for discriminating banknotes, and depositing and withdrawing money. A reject box 16 for accumulating money-damaged bills, etc., a bill storage box 11 described with reference to FIG. 1 for carrying out and collecting bills between the bill boxes 12, 13 and 14 for each type, and the deposited bills temporarily. It is comprised by the conveyance path | route which conveys a banknote by connecting the temporary temporary accumulation part 17 which hold | maintains, and each mechanism.

At the time of depositing, the banknotes put into the deposit and withdrawal outlets 11 discriminate the types of banknotes from the discriminating unit 15, and are accumulated on the partition plate 18a for the temporary accumulation unit of the temporary accumulation unit 17 once. The temporary integration part partition plate 18a is moved to the position of 18a from the position of 18 of FIG. 2 at the time of deposit. When the bills counted by the temporary accumulator 17 are temporarily accumulated, the counting results are displayed on a touch panel not shown in the automatic teller machine, and when the user confirms the display of the counting results, the transaction is established, It is separated by the roller provided in the mechanism 8, and it is discriminated again by the discriminating part 15, and is divided into the banknote boxes 12, 13, and 14 by a banknote type, and is integrated.

At the time of withdrawal, a predetermined number of sheets are separated from the banknote boxes 12, 13, and 14 for each kind, separated by the discriminating unit 15, and accumulated in the entrance and exit port 11, and withdrawal processing is performed. In the process of conveying from the temporary accumulation part 17 at the time of deposit to the banknote boxes 12, 13, 14 by type, and the process of conveying from the banknote boxes 12, 13, 14 by the kind at the time of withdrawal to the deposit / exit opening 11 Banknotes determined as damaged banknotes in the discriminating unit 15 are accumulated in the reject box 16.

Next, a main operation using the banknotes storage box 1 according to the present invention, a banking operation, a banking operation counting operation, a banknote refilling operation, and a collection operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. 7-10, the route conveyed by each operation | movement is shown by the thick line.

Fig. 7 shows the banknote straightening operation performed at the opening of a financial institution. Initially, the employee of a financial institution fills a bill in the lower storage part 6 of the bill storage box 1 shown in FIG. And this banknote storage box 1 is attached to the banknote handling apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. After that, the bills stored in the lower storage part 6 of the bill storage box 1 are separated one by one from the lower separation mechanism 7 and are sequentially drawn out to determine the type of bills at the discriminating part 15 through the conveyance path. And divided into banknote boxes 12, 13, and 14 for each kind of banknote. At this time, the bills stored in the bill box 12, 13, 14 for each kind, bills determined as damaged bills by the discriminating unit 15, etc. are sequentially counted, and the counting result is stored in the not shown storage unit. Thus, the stock of the cash in the banknote handling apparatus 10 including the banknote storing box 1 is managed.

The storage box counting operation (FIG. 8) for counting the bills stored in the bills storage box 1 is based on the bills filled in the lower storage part 6 of the bills storage box 1 by the staff of a financial institution. Separated by the separating mechanism (7) and pulled out one by one to discriminate the banknotes from the discriminating unit (15) and accumulated by the accumulation separating mechanism (8) in the upper storing portion (4) of the bill storage box (1). All. In the process of conveying the bills from the lower storage part 6 of the bill storage box 1 to the upper storage part 4 in this storage box counting operation, the bills are counted by the discriminating part 15 as described above. The counting result is stored in a storage unit (not shown), and the stock of the banknote in the banknote storage box 1 is managed.

In the bill holding operation of Fig. 7 to the storing box counting operation of Fig. 8, the bill is discriminated by the discriminating unit 15, but the bill determined as the waste paper at that time is the ejection reject part (in the bill accepting box 1). 20) and the banknotes are also stored in the storage unit as counting results, so that the banknotes stored in the banknotes storage box 1 can be managed at all times.

The billing operation is for the purpose of storing the bills of the bills storage box 1 in the bill boxes 12, 13, 14 for each type and preparing for the withdrawal transaction described above. If the banknote is 14 or more in the predetermined amount, the banknote in the banknote storage box 1 is to be retained in the detachable banknote storage box 1 without storing the banknotes in the banknote boxes 12, 13, and 14 according to the type. When the billing box 12, 13, 14 for each type is full and the bill is left in the bill storage box 1, the stock in the bill storage box 1 remaining in the bill storage box 1 is counted, It is aimed at inventory management.

Conventionally, the stock of the bills of the bill boxes 12, 13, and 14 for each kind can be managed. However, in the present invention, the bill storage box 1 can also be inventory-controlled by the storage box counting operation. It is easy to judge the timing of dissemination and withdrawal, and its stability is high in security management.

The bill refilling operation shown in FIG. 9 is an operation performed during the operation of the automatic teller machine after the opening of the financial period, and is performed when the remaining amount of the bills stored in the banknote boxes 12, 13 and 14 for each type is insufficient. .

The bills in the bill storage box 1 are counted and moved from the lower storage part 8 to the upper storage part 4 by the above-described billing operation or the storage box counting operation. Here, if it is determined that the remaining amount of bills is insufficient by detection by a sensor (not shown) provided in the bill box 12, 13, 14 for each type, it is integrated in the upper storage portion 4 of the bill storage box (1) The bills are separated one by one from the stacking separator 8, and the sorting unit 15 discriminates the bill types and divides the bills into bills boxes 12, 13 and 14 for each bill type. At this time, since the banknotes replenished in the banknote boxes 12, 13 and 14 for each type are counted and stored, the stock of the banknote handling apparatus 10 can be managed.

As described above, in the long or storage box counting operation and the bill refilling operation, the indeterminate or damaged paper discriminated by the discriminating unit 15 is accumulated in the long reject section 20 in the banknote storing box 1. The bill is also counted and stored. As a result, the damage banknote generated at the time of deposit and withdrawal described in FIG. 2 can be distinguished from the banknote stored in the reject box 16. It is possible to distinguish and manage damaged banknotes generated in the banknote handling apparatus 10 that does not include the storage box 1, respectively.

The collection operation shown in Fig. 9 is mainly performed when the ATM is closed and the operation is finished, and when the bills of the bill boxes 12, 13 and 14 of each type become full and cannot be stored any more. Is the operation. The bills stored in the bill boxes 12, 13, and 14 for each kind are determined by the discriminating unit 15, and the bills storage box is determined by the stacking mechanism 8 provided on the bill handling apparatus 10 side. It is integrated in the upper housing part 4 of 1). The bills at this time are also stored in a count.

On the other hand, the banknotes storage box 1 is detachably mounted to the banknote handling mechanism 10 by the staff, and the banknotes filled in the lower storage part 6 by the staff are separated by the long or the storage box counting operation. It is separated from the mechanism 7 and integrated into the upper storage part 4 by the integrated separation mechanism 8 provided in the temporary accumulation part 17 of the banknote handling apparatus 10.

Further, also in the collection operation, the banknotes which are sequentially taken out of the banknote boxes 12, 13, and 14 for each type are accumulated in the upper storage part 4 in the banknote storage box 1 by the integrated separating mechanism 8.

In the bill replenishing operation, the bills stored in the upper storage section 4 in the bill storage box 1 are separated one by one by the integrated separation mechanism 8, and the bill boxes 12 and 13 for each kind having a small amount of bills remaining. , 14).

In this way, an integrated separation mechanism 8 for separating and separating the banknotes at the time of deposit and withdrawal into the temporary collecting unit 17, and the banknotes storage box (1) because they are used in common at the time of banknotes, storage box counting, replenishment, and collection operations. There is no need to provide a separate integrated separation mechanism. Therefore, there is an effect of lightening the bill storage box (1).

The operation of the temporary integration part partition board 18 of the temporary accumulation part 17 at the time of deposit and withdrawal, the exchange of money, and the refilling of bank notes will be described.

The partition plate 18 for temporary collection part operates in a closed state so as to block the banknote storage box 1 put in and out of the deposit and withdrawal outlet 11 at the time of deposit and withdrawal. Therefore, the banknote conveyed from the deposit / exit 11 is accumulated on the partition plate 18 for the temporary accumulation portion by the accumulation operation of the integrated separation mechanism 8, and is temporarily held by the temporary accumulation portion 17.

On the other hand, Jangjin, the storage box counting operation and the like described in Figs. 7 to 10 is an operation using the bill storage box (1). Therefore, during these operations, the partition plate 18 for temporary integration part is avoided in the state of 18a so that the upper part of the bill storage box 1 may be opened. Therefore, in the bill replenishing operation, even when the bills stored in the upper storage portion 4 of the bill storage box 1 are sequentially taken out by the integrated separation mechanism 8, the partition plate 18 for temporary accumulators is not disturbed. It doesn't work.

Next, the detailed structure of the banknote storage box 1 which can be attached or detached to the banknote handling apparatus 10 is demonstrated.

3: shows the side view and front view explaining the structure of a banknote storage box. The upper partition plate 3 is arranged in an X shape while keeping the pressing plate 21 and the bottom plate 22 in parallel with the bottom plate 22a arranged in parallel with the pressing plate 21 and the pressing plate 21 for stacking bills. And a linking shaft 23 that expands and contracts, and a drive shaft 24 that rotates on the bottom plate 22 so as to horizontally drive one end of the linking mechanism 23 arranged in the X shape.

The drive shaft 24 forms a lead screw, which is a drive means for converting rotational motion into linear motion by arranging screws in a spiral shape, and when the drive shaft 24 rotates in the direction of arrow 39, one end 36 of the link mechanism 23 is formed. The nut 25 coupled to the lead screw in engagement with the lead screw moves linearly in the horizontal direction, and the other ends 35 and 36 move horizontally from the rotation points 33 and 34 of the link mechanism 23, so that the pressing plate 21 and the bottom plate ( 22) The pressing plate 21 extends upward while keeping the liver parallel.

The timing belt 29 is hanged between the belt fleece 26 and 27 arrange | positioned above and below the banknote storing box 1, and the belt fleece 28 arrange | positioned at the drive shaft 24. As shown in FIG. The lower belt flip 27 is connected to the idler gear 30 arrange | positioned at the feed roller shaft mentioned later, and is connected to the drive gear 32 arrange | positioned at the banknote handling mechanism 10 main body. By the upper partition board 3 and the drive mechanism of the said structure, it operates as follows.

When the drive gear 32 is rotated by the drive motor not shown outside of the bill storage box 1 and the timing flies 27 are rotated in the direction of the arrow 38, the pressing plate 21 and the bottom plate 22 are described. The storage space in the bill storage box 1 is raised while maintaining the folded state of 3a in FIG.

The bottom plate 22 is hardly hit by the stopper member 46 disposed above the storage portion, and the bottom plate 22 cannot rise, that is, the timing in the state of the pressing plate 21a and the bottom plate 22a in FIG. 3. When the fleece 27 rotates in the direction of arrow 38, the timing belt 29 transmits a driving force, and the bottom plate 22a rotates in the direction of arrow 39 so that the X-type link mechanism 23 extends and the pressing plate 21a is rotated. It rises to the position which contacts the pick-up roller 40 of the integrated separation mechanism 8 like the extended state of 3b of FIG.

In addition, when the link mechanism 23 starts to extend about the point 33, the link mechanism 23 presses the bottom plate locking member 44 which moves horizontally on the bottom plate 22a, and the bottom plate locking member 44 The roller 44a attached to the tip portion has a structure that enters the hole 45a of the side guide 45 of the bill storage box 1, and the bottom plate 22a is in a state in which the bottom plate 22 cannot rise. Keep locked.

By the locked state, the link mechanism 23 can be reliably extended, and the bottom plate 22 and the pressure plate 21 are not in a state where the bottom plate 22 hardly hits the stopper member 46 disposed on the upper portion of the housing. 3 may maintain a compressed state as shown in 3a of FIG. 3. On the contrary, if the drive motor (not shown) is rotated in reverse from the extended state of 3b at the top, the drive shaft 24 rotates in reverse to compress the link mechanism 23, and then descends in the compressed state as in 3a.

The pressing plate while separating all the bills stored in the upper storage part 4 by the operation of the upper partition board 3 as described above until the sheets are all empty by the stacking mechanism 8 arranged on the bill handling device 10 side. (21) to control the ascending sequentially and to control the lower plate 21 is sequentially lowered until the upper storage space is full while one by one in the integrated separating mechanism (8) in the upper storage portion 4 of the empty state; Banknotes can be stored. In addition, the upper partition plate 3 is constructed to expand and contract, thereby minimizing the height in the bill storage box 1 to improve bill storage efficiency.

The lower partition plate 5 is connected to a spring 41 having a circular connection between the bottom plate 22 and the lower partition plate 5 of the upper partition plate 3 through the rotating flippers 42 and 43 arranged up and down. There is a force pushing the banknote in the downward direction at all times, so there is no separate drive mechanism from the outside.

4 is a side view illustrating the configuration of the lower separation mechanism 7. The banknote stored in the lower housing part 6 is in contact with the pickup roller 51 made of a rubber part of the outer circumference of the lower partition plate 5. Moreover, a part of outer periphery is arrange | positioned so that the feed roller 52 made of rubber and the gate roller 53 made of rubber may oppose the whole circumference.

The feed roller 52 and the gate roller 53 are connected to a drive gear (not shown) to rotate in the same direction by an external drive motor (not shown), and the feed rollers 52 and the gate roller are transferred to the pick roller 51. The feed rollers 52 and the pinch rollers 54 are fed out from the outlet 55 of the bill storage box by the feed rollers 52 and the pinch rollers 54.

The shutoff lever 56 is in a state of 56a when the banknote storing box 1 is pulled out of the banknote handling mechanism 10, and when the employee sets the banknote, the feed roller 52 and the gate roller 53 It is to be pushed in between, and it is pushed in the state of 56a by the spring which is not shown, and the state of 56 with the extrusion lever not shown in the state in which the banknotes storage box 1 was attached to the banknote handling mechanism 10 was carried out. It becomes

The banknote storage box 1 having the above structure is separated from the upper shaft partition plate driving idler gear 30 disposed on the feed roller shaft 52a of FIG. 3 in a state of being mounted on the banknote handling mechanism main body shown in FIG. 2. The mechanism driving gear 31 is connected to the drive gear 32 arranged in the bill handling mechanism 10 main body, and is fixed by the lock lever 47 connecting the drive gear 32 and the feed roller shaft 52a. Doing. That is, the lock portion of the upper partition plate driving idler gear 30, the beak mechanism driving gear 31, and the lock lever 47 are arranged on the same axis of the feed roller shaft, so that the fineness of the pitch between the shafts of the gears can be easily secured. It is to improve the reliability in terms of stabilization of the transmission efficiency.

5 and 6 are for explaining a bill setting method by the employee. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a state where the banknote storage box 1 is taken out and placed in a horizontal plane with the staff operation door 61 as a top surface, and Fig. 5 is a side view illustrating the state of the banknote set. The bill storage box 1 has a shape in which the lower separation mechanism protrudes from the bill storage space. As shown in FIG.

When the employee opens the door 61 of the bill storage box 1 as shown in Figure 5, the upper partition plate 3 and the lower partition plate 5 is pushed in the opposite direction by the force of the spring 41 Divided. The staff first moves the lower partition board 5 in the direction of the upper partition board 3 and sets it from the lower partition board 5 side as a bundle of bank notes 64a and 64b. Thereafter, the lock lever 62 is released, and the lower partition plate 5 and the banknote bundles 64a and 64b are moved to the lower separation mechanism 7 to close the door.

At this time, the storage space is inclined as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, and after setting the bill bundle 64a, the bill is less likely to fall or slip in the directions of arrows 65 and 66 between the sets of 64b, This has the advantage that no malfunction occurs due to poor set. That is, the banknote storage box 1 has a shape in which the lower separation mechanism protrudes out from the banknote storage space, thereby improving the setability of the banknote. In this regard, in the related art, a method of attaching a movable stand to the banknote storage box and maintaining the inclined state is considered, but it is not necessary to do so in the above-described embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the employee sets the bill, it is set to the lower storage part 6 of the bill storage box, but as another embodiment, the upper storage part 4, for example, five thousand won, For example, the storage unit 6 may be set by operating 10,000 won. In this case, for example, a bill replenishing operation performed when there is a shortage of bills in a bill box for each kind may be performed by designating a bill type that is insufficient and selecting somewhere between the lower storage section 6 and the upper storage section 4. In this way, it is necessary to refill the bills during the bill replenishing operation because the set of one bill is carried out by mixing the bills of the kind, which is effective in terms of processing time and its operational efficiency.

As shown in Fig. 11, when a banknote of five thousand won is set in the upper storing unit 4, for example, and a ten thousand won bill is set in the lower storing unit 6, the bill box for each type shown in Fig. 11 is not used. Direct withdrawal can be done. For example, in the case where an employee starts to operate a cash transaction device every day and collects a banknote and starts operation, the withdrawal transaction can be started only after the advancement. According to the present invention, the withdrawal transaction can be started only by setting the bill storage box 1, and since the bank of the bank can be charged at a time when there is no transaction, the time and effort for the staff can be reduced.

As mentioned above, although conveyance control of a banknote, inventory management of a banknote, etc. were demonstrated in detail, these operations are controlled by the control part which is not shown in figure. In addition, the banknotes storage box 1 of the present invention described above is an integrated separating mechanism of the upper storage portion of the bills storage box 1 is outside the bills storage box, the separating mechanism of the lower storage portion is inside the bills storage box It is a configuration mounted on. However, as another embodiment, both the integrated separating mechanism of the upper storing portion and the separating mechanism of the lower storing portion are mounted inside the banknote storage box, and both the integrated separating mechanism of the upper storing portion and the separating mechanism of the lower storing portion are included. Since it is also possible to mount outside the storage box, a simple banknote storage box can be realized which does not require a drive mechanism for retracting and opening and closing two partition plates for moving bills from the upper storage part to the lower storage part.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize the simplification in the construction of the bill storage box used in the automatic teller machine and the high reliability bill storage box thereby.
