Description

Device for depositing and withdrawing banknotes {APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING AND DISPENSING BILL}

The present invention relates to a device for depositing and withdrawing banknotes.

In general, automated financial devices are devices that can quickly and conveniently provide services related to most financial services, excluding consultation services, unmanned and without time constraints.

Conventional financial automated machines include a deposit/withdrawal unit for inserting or receiving banknotes, a discrimination unit provided on the return path through which bills deposited and withdrawn through the deposit/withdrawal unit are transferred, and a discrimination unit that determines whether there is an abnormality in the banknote, and as a result of discrimination by the discrimination unit, a bill is determined to be normal. It may include a temporary storage unit where banknotes are temporarily stored.

And, when the shutter is opened, the deposit/withdrawal unit of the automated financial machine is provided with a banknote storage space where deposited banknotes can be inserted or withdrawn banknotes can be received. This bill storage space includes a front plate that forms the front wall of the bill storage space, a back plate located behind the front plate that forms the rear wall of the bill storage space, and a bill storage space provided between the front plate and the back plate. A push plate is provided to divide the deposit space and the withdrawal space.

However, when bills loaded on the push plate are separated individually by the pickup roller, the stacked thickness of the bills on the push plate is not constant, so the bills and the pickup roller do not contact each other, or the bills are not stacked homogeneously on the push plate, making them difficult to pick up. If the rotation axis of the roller and the push plate are not aligned with each other, slip occurs between the pickup roller and the bill, which may cause problems in separating the sheets of bills in the bill storage space.
