Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-currency note cassette having variable stoppers,

In general, an automated teller machine (ATM) is an automated device capable of assisting basic financial services such as depositing or withdrawing without regard to the time and place of the financial service, without bank staff, It is configured so that checks and cash can be automatically withdrawn using a medium such as a passbook or transactions such as deposits can be made.

Such financial automatic machines can be extended and operated even after the closing of the bank window, and can be installed in stores such as department stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores, and can be operated unattended.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In recent years, refillable financial automation devices configured to refill and withdraw bills deposited by customers' financial transactions have become widespread, thereby increasing the operability of financial automation devices, thereby enhancing the convenience of use of financial automation devices to customers.

[0003] The structure of such a refillable type automatic teller machine includes a deposit / withdrawal portion for receiving a deposited banknote or discharging a banknote to be deposited, a banknote discriminating portion for discriminating whether the banknote is normal or not, and a banknote discriminating portion for temporarily storing the deposited banknote A plurality of banknote cassettes for storing and storing the deposited banknotes for each denomination and separating and discharging the banknotes stored at the time of withdrawal; and a plurality of banknotes stacked from among the banknotes discharged from the plurality of banknote cassettes, A reject box for collecting the severe bills, and a conveyance path for conveying the bank notes to be deposited or withdrawn along a predetermined path.

1, the refill-type bank note cassette according to the related art includes a storage space 11 for accommodating bank notes therein, A cassette body (10) for forming the cassette body (10); A support plate 20 which is provided in the storage space 11 so as to be able to move up and down and supports the banknote 1 to be stacked in the storage space 11; The paper money 1 which is provided on the paper money entrance side of the cassette body 10 so that the paper money 1 to be brought into the cassette body 10 is accumulated in the storage space 11 or the paper money 1 which is taken out from the cassette body 10 is cut A separating / collecting unit 30 for separating and transporting A stack guide 40 for guiding the banknote 1 entering the storage space by the separating and collecting unit 30; Is provided on the opposite wall surface of the cassette body 10 on which the separating and collecting unit 30 is provided so as to regulate the leading end of the banknote guided by the stack guide 40, And a banknote stopper 50 for sorting and accumulating the banknote.

The refill-type banknote cassette having such a structure, when the banknotes are carried, transports the banknotes to the storage space by the separating and collecting unit, and the banknotes entering the storage space are guided through the stack guide, Collides with the banknote stopper provided on the wall and falls into the storage space. In this process, the banknotes are stacked on the support plate of the storage space in an aligned state.

Accordingly, when the banknotes are taken out from the banknote cassettes, the banknotes stacked in the aligned state are separated one by one by the separating / collecting unit and conveyed through the conveying path outside the banknote cassette.

In this case, such a paper currency cassette may be provided in a plurality of banknote denominations in the financial automation equipment or, in some cases, a multi-currency note can be handled in one banknote cassette. In recent years, The utility of a multi-currency bill cassette capable of simultaneously accommodating and operating different denomination bills for miniaturization is increasing.

At this time, when handling multi-currency notes in one currency note cassette, since the sizes of the notes by the handling ticket type are almost constant in the case of the domestic market, it is not a big problem to handle multi-currency notes in one currency note cassette, In many cases, the size of bills varies greatly depending on the type of denomination. In this case, the conventional bill cassette having the above-described structure has a problem that it is difficult to handle multi-currency bills.

That is, in the conventional paper currency cassette as described above, it is difficult to arrange and store all the bills different in size according to the denomination through one fixed bank note stopper. Accordingly, when dealing with multi-national banknotes of different sizes , Various troubles such as jam may occur when the banknote reflux operation is performed.

For this reason, as disclosed in Korean Patent No. 1,250,657, recently developed multi-currency paper currency cassettes, in order to accommodate two types of different sizes in one cassette, two separate storage spaces are provided in the cassette However, in this case, since two separate storage spaces, a support plate and a separate accumulation unit must be provided in each of the cassettes, the use efficiency of the space in the cassette is lowered and the cost of manufacturing the cassette is increased .
