Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a card processing machine in an automatic teller machine, and in particular, reliably trades a card even when a failure occurs in the automatic teller machine or during a power outage. The present invention relates to a card processing machine in an automatic teller machine suitable for returning to a person.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, an automatic teller machine has been used when a trader inserts a bank card into a card processing machine of an automatic machine, inputs a personal PIN, and the PIN recorded on the card matches the entered PIN. , So that cash could be paid out. In this process, the automatic teller machine will handle when the security code recorded on the card is being read, for example, if the card is broken and a failure occurs during reading or a power failure occurs during the reading. It will be suspended and the card will remain on board. In this case, the attendant usually removes the in-flight card while asking the trader for the situation at the time of the failure and returns it to the trader. In recent years, however, banks have also adopted a three-day system, such as a full weekly vacation, and operate the automated teller machine on days when there is no clerk. In such a case, if the above-mentioned obstacle occurs, the clerk is absent. The card remains on board and will not be returned to the trader. For this reason, when a transaction is urgent and needs cash, the card cannot be returned to the hand and other automatic machines cannot be used.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a conventional card processor.
The figure is a side view, and FIG. 5 is a top view. When the card 3 is inserted into the card guide 2 of the card processor 1, the magnetic sensor 4
Detects the magnetic stripe of the card 3 and releases the stopper 5 by a solenoid (not shown), and at the same time, the rollers 6, 7, 8, 9 and the belts 10, 11, 12,
13 was driven to rotate, and the card 3 was taken into the card processor 1. The card 3 is read by a card reader / writer (including a magnetic head 24) 14 inside the card processor 1, and when the card processing is normally performed, an envoice imprint is performed as a proof of the processing. Is performed by the imprint machine 15. Thereafter, the card 3 has been reversely conveyed toward the card guide 2 by rotation of a motor (not shown). However, the card 3 may catch at the joints A, B, C, D, etc. of the respective components in the drawing due to its own cracking or deformation, which may be an obstacle. In the conventional card processing machine shown in the figure,
The power supply 21 of the card processor 1 receives a supply of AC 100 V from the power supply of the automatic teller machine 23 (not shown) to generate a DC voltage. However, when the AC100V of the automatic teller machine 23 is cut off, the power supply 21 is also cut off and the operation becomes impossible.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned prior art has been examining various ways that a trader can pay out cash as an automatic teller machine, but considers returning the card to the trader in the event of a snag due to a cracked bank card or a failure due to a power outage. Had not been. Therefore, there is a problem that when there is no attendant on a holiday or the like, the card is kept on board the aircraft, and the trader cannot withdraw necessary cash.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and provides a card processing machine in an automatic teller machine that can always return a card to a trader even if a failure occurs in the automatic teller machine in any situation. It is intended to provide.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, a card processing machine in an automatic teller machine of the present invention is provided with a card holder near a card insertion slot, and further provided with a power supply for backup separately from a power supply of the card processing machine, Is carried by a belt, a wire, or the like. In the event of a failure or power failure, the belt receiving wire or the like is driven by a backup power supply provided separately from the power supply of the card processing machine, so that the card receiver can be transported.

[Action]

A card processing machine usually employs a roller and a belt to convey a card. However, a broken card or a deformed card is not properly repaired and transported by a roller or a belt, and is caught by a component in the transport path, thereby causing a jam. Further, at the time of a power failure, the power source serving as a driving source is cut off, so that the transport becomes impossible.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to equip a card holder and a backup power supply to repair a broken card or a deformed card with the card holder and to convey the card. Also,
Even if a power failure occurs during transportation, the card can be reliably returned because there is a backup power supply.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory side view showing one embodiment of a card processor in an automatic teller machine of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a card holder 16 is provided near the card guide 2, and the card
Can be inserted, so that cracks and deformations of the card 3 can be repaired, and joints A, B, C, D, etc. (see FIG. 4)
Is effectively prevented from getting stuck. The operation is
When the card 3 is inserted into the card holder 16, the magnetic sensor 4 detects the magnetic stripe of the card and releases the stopper 5 as in the conventional machine. At this time, the card holder 16
When the card presence / absence sensor 17 detects the presence of a card at the rear end of the card, the card holder 16 slides on the rail 18 by a motor (not shown) and is taken into the card processor 1. The subsequent operation is the same as that of the conventional device.
However, the card holder 16 is provided with a second so that the magnetic stripe can be read / written and the imprint imprint can be performed.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 3, the collar 19 is formed only around the periphery so as to press around the card 3. In addition, a slant 20 is provided on a part of the brim 19 so that the card 3 can be easily inserted.

In the event of a power outage, the backup power supply 22 provided in the card processing machine 1 can back up the card 3 for the time required to return the card 3 even if the power of the automatic teller machine 23 is stopped. . The backup power supply 22 is configured to be charged when AC 100 V is supplied.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, the card can be repaired even if the card is cracked or deformed, so that it can be prevented from being returned due to the card being caught or the like. Only the card can be returned to the trader by individual operation, and the customer service can be improved when the attendant is absent.
