Description

Cassettes for cash and check bundle deposit machines {CASSETTE OF A CASH AND CHECK IN MODULE}

The present invention relates to a cash and check bundle depositor, and more specifically, to distinguish between bills or checks in a cash and check bundle deposit machine that can deposit bundles of different lengths of cash and checks without depositing a single sheet. The present invention relates to a cassette that is detachably attached to a main body of a deposit machine for storage, and which is common in size and shape.

In general, cash dispensing units (CDUs) and automated teller machines (BRM) are developed to provide most financial services unattended, quickly and conveniently, regardless of time. Financial automated machines such as Bill Recycling Machines are called ATM (automated teller machines).

In addition to the automatic cash withdrawal function, such ATMs have various configurations added according to functions such as a card processing unit, a bankbook processing unit, and a check deposit machine.

In the case of cash, the size and shape of bills vary according to the par value, but usually the same par value is the same, so deposits can be made in bundles. Various checks are printed, and the check deposit machine which processes such checks checks the check printed serial number, etc. using a magnetic ink character reader (MICR), and checks the deposit. do.

Accordingly, the check deposit machine usually includes an input unit into which a check is inserted, a check sorting apparatus for aligning the inserted check to a predetermined position, a transfer apparatus for transferring the sorted checks, a MICR unit for reading check information, and a check The printer includes a printing unit for printing a character string transmitted from an upper portion on the rear surface, and a storage unit for sequentially stacking and storing checks for which deposit processing is completed.

However, the conventional check deposit machine configured as described above is different from the method of depositing a predetermined number of bills into the input unit in the automatic teller machine, and after storing the checks after inputting them into the input unit one by one by specifying the direction of the check, they are stored along the predetermined return path and then stored. Saved in wealth. In other words, the conveyance operation is not performed unless the check is put in the input section before and after the check and the top and the bottom, and the total number of checks to be inserted is also limited.

Accordingly, in order to deposit a plurality of checks, the checks must be deposited several times, and thus, a long time is required for depositing the checks and there is an inconvenience.

In addition, in Korea, the size of checks is fixed, but in foreign countries, for example, personal checks and business checks issued by companies are different from each other. Another problem was that they could not process checks of different sizes.

In order to solve the above problems, the applicant's Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-0030085 (published 2010.03.18) does not deposit a check by limiting the direction of the check, but can deposit a bundle regardless of the size and direction of the check. A BULK CHECK ACCEPTER (BCA) is disclosed that efficiently deploys configuration modules to achieve increased ease of use and compact device.

However, until now, there are separate BNAs for depositing a large amount of cash and BCAs for depositing a large number of checks. In addition, there is also a need to integrate a single device, even if it is bulky, considering the cost of purchase, and to meet the so-called Article 6 regulations of the European Central Bank, which require that counterfeits be stored in separate storage locations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to meet this need, and its object is to provide a single check machine and a cash dispenser that can deposit bundles regardless of the size and direction of the check without limiting the direction of the check.

When the deposit is canceled, the banknote or check escrowed to the escrow module 600 passes through the second three-way switching gate 160, the first three-way switching gate 140, and the reject module 900. Is discharged.

When the deposit receipt is confirmed, as shown in Fig. 2, the normal bill is as shown in Fig. 2, the second and first three-way switching gates 160, 140 and the U-shaped conveying path 120 and the U-shaped conveying path 120 and bills It is stored in the bill storage cassette 720 through the switching gate 102 located between the storage cassette 720.

In addition, in the case of a check, a check whose endorsement is matched by the BC module 300 is transferred directly to the print module 800 by the second three-way switching gate 160 to perform an endorsement, and then a check storage cassette 740. ) Is stored.

On the contrary, checks whose end faces are not matched by the BC module 300 are transferred to the first three-way switching gate 140 by the second three-way switching gate 160 and then the second three-way switching gate ( After being transferred to 160 to perform front and rear inversion, it is transferred to the print module 800 to perform endorsement, and then stored in the check storage cassette 740.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the banknote or check storage cassette 720 and 740 may include a case body 710 having a rear side 702 and a front side 704 coupled to each other to form a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a case. It consists of a cassette module (not shown) installed inside the main body 710. The guide protrusion 714 and the guide groove 716 may be formed on the left and right sides and the upper surface of the case body 710 to guide the sheet when the cassette is attached or detached to the cassette 700.

A door 708 that can be opened and closed by the operation of the lock device 706 is attached to the front part 704, and a handle 709 may be attached to the door 708.

In addition, an inlet 712 is formed in the upper portion of the case body 710 so that the mixing medium is inserted vertically.

The rear portion 702 is attached to a leaf spring 718 to prevent static electricity when mounted to the deposit machine body (1).

Since the bill or check storage cassettes 720 and 740 of the present invention are the same shape and size to each other for the purpose of common use, when the banknote or check storage cassettes 720 and 740 are attached to the machine body 1, they may be confused. Accordingly, the cassette of the present invention includes a mis-prevention means as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the misinterpretation means 10 may be rotated about the hinge shaft 12 of the rear part 702, but one end of the protrusion 22 is formed in the side surface of the rear part 702. The cassette fixing member protrudes through the 722 and slides along the bracket 724 formed at the rear portion 702 so that the fixing portion 24 at the other end is positioned at the cassette number display portion 32 to be mounted. 20) and an insertion prevention protrusion 40 protruding from the side of the bank body 1 and selectively sliding up and down so as to correspond to one end of the cassette fixing member 20 to be rotated. The fixing part 24 is bound by fasteners, such as a screw and a pin.

Since the locking protrusion 22 protrudes from the rear side of the rear surface 702, the insertion preventing protrusion 40 is preferably located adjacent to the front portion of the cassette unit 70. This is because when the insertion preventing protrusion 40 is located at the front of the cassette unit 70, the cassette may be mounted with excessive force, and the protrusions may be damaged when the catching protrusion 22 is caught by the insertion preventing protrusion 40. This is to make sure that it is misplaced before it is mounted with excessive force.

In the present embodiment, when the banknote storage cassette 720 is located on the left side of the cassette unit 700 and the check storage cassette 740 is located adjacent to the right side thereof, the banknote storage cassette 720 is placed in the first cassette. Next, the check storage cassette 740 is assumed to be the second cassette.

The numbers of the cassettes mounted adjacent to the bracket 724 are indicated. For example, the first cassette is numbered 1, the second cassette is numbered 2, number 1 is indicated at the bottom and number 2 is displayed at the top.

In addition, the numbers of the cassettes mounted on the top and bottom of the insertion preventing protrusion 40 are displayed, for example, 1 at the bottom and 2 at the top.

When the cassette fixing member 20 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the fixing part 24 is positioned at the cassette number display part 32 of the first case. In contrast, when the cassette fixing member 20 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the fixing part 24 is the second cassette. It is located in the number display section 32. Of course, it can be reversed.

When the insertion preventing protrusion 40 protrudes downward, when the fixing part 24 of the cassette fixing member 20 is positioned at the cassette number display part 32 of the first, the locking protrusion 22 is the insertion preventing protrusion 40. Even if the cassette is mounted at the top of the), the locking protrusion 22 does not collide with the insertion preventing protrusion 40. However, when the insertion preventing protrusion 40 protrudes downward, the cassette fixing member 20 is disposed. When the fixing portion 24 of the cassette number display portion 32 is located, the locking projection 22 is located in the lower portion of the insertion prevention projection 40, so that it is caught with the insertion prevention projection 40 to mount the cassette. It becomes impossible.

Referring to Figure 6 describes the operation of the mis-prevention means 10 configured as described above is as follows.

When the first cassette is to be mounted on the left side, as shown in FIG. 6A, the insertion preventing protrusion 40 is slid downward, that is, the fixing portion of the cassette fixing member 20 in the state of being positioned at the first position ( When the first cassette 24, which is located at the cassette number display unit 32, is placed on the cassette fixing member 20, the locking protrusion 22 does not collide with the insertion preventing protrusion 40. Mounting of the second cassette in which the front part 24 is located at the cassette number display part 32 of the second number is made because the locking protrusion 22 is caught by the insertion preventing protrusion 40, and thus the cassette cannot be mounted, thereby preventing mis-insertion. .

On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 6B, the insertion preventing protrusion 40 is slid upward, that is, the fixing part 24 of the cassette fixing member 20 is positioned at the number 2, and the cassette number display part 32 is numbered 32. When the second cassette located at the right side is mounted on the right side, the locking protrusion 22 does not collide with the insertion preventing protrusion 40 so as to be mounted smoothly.

What has been described above is only a preferred embodiment of the cassette of the cash and check bundle deposit machine according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, as claimed in the following claims of the present invention Without departing from the gist of the present invention, one of ordinary skill in the art will have the technical spirit of the present invention to the extent that various modifications can be made.
