Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out device for performing banknote pay-in and pay-out processing at a counter of a financial institution or a transportation agency, or at a checkout station such as a supermarket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A banknote pay-in / pay-out device for automatically performing a banknote pay-in process and a banknote pay-out process is a depositing / transferring unit for receiving and billing bills one by one. An identification unit for identifying seed, authenticity, fitness, etc., and stores bills identified as receivable by this identification unit in denominations and 1
A denomination storage unit that can be dispensed one by one, a dispensing identification unit that identifies bills fed from this denomination storage unit, and a bill unit that is identified as dispensable by this identification unit so that it can be taken out from the outside. There is a dispensing section for dispensing, etc., and a temporary holding section for deposited banknotes is provided according to operational specifications.

[0003] That is, when used in a checkout place such as a supermarket, the banknotes stored by the customer are stored in a place visible to the customer until the transaction is completed, that is, until the change is completed and the customer approves. In most cases, the banknote storage position functions as a temporary storage unit, and there is no need to return it when depositing banknotes. Deposited banknotes can be stored directly in the denomination storage unit without being provided.

[0004] On the other hand, at the counter of a financial institution, since the amount of bills to be deposited is large, the deposited bills are identified and counted in the apparatus to check the deposited amount. In order to store the information in the storage unit and return it if it is not approved, a temporary storage unit was always provided in the device.

[0005] As the form of the temporary holding section, there are a denomination temporary holding type in which banknotes are sorted into denominations and then temporarily held, and a batch temporary holding type (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-93257) in which deposited banknotes are temporarily held collectively. Publication).

[0006] In the case of the above-mentioned denomination temporary holding type, the banknotes are sorted by denomination and are temporarily held at a position immediately before the denomination storage section, so that the banknote can be stored immediately in the storage section if the deposit is approved. However, when the payment is not approved, the return is made by sequentially paying out one sheet at a time from each temporary holding section and returning it to the payout section.

Further, in the case of the batch temporary holding type, as described in the above-mentioned publication, a first recycle transport path including a depositing section, an identification section, and a dispensing section, and a bill passing through the identification section are identified. A second recirculation conveyance path for recirculation to the inlet side of the section,
A plurality of denomination storage units arranged along the transport path;
The banknotes are temporarily stored in the collective temporary storage unit after being identified, and are sequentially fed out of the collective temporary storage unit one by one upon receipt of payment, and are conveyed through the second return transport path. The unit is identified again and stored in the denomination storage unit,
In the case of a return due to non-approval, the return is made from the collective temporary holding section and returned to the payout section through the second return transport path and the first return transport path.

[0008]

However, in the case of a banknote pay-in / pay-out device which does not have a temporary holding unit in the above-mentioned device, an attendant checks a banknote deposited from a customer, inputs the amount by key, and inputs the key. There is a problem in that when a banknote is thrown out in accordance with the deposit amount, a mistake may be made when the deposit amount is large or when a counterfeit banknote is used.

On the other hand, in the case of the type having a denomination temporary holding section in the apparatus, the denomination requires a temporary holding, so that the cost of the apparatus increases, and at the time of return, one banknote is sequentially read from each temporary storage section. There is a problem that it takes time to return because it is paid out and returned to the withdrawal department.

Further, in the case of the type having a batch temporary holding section in the apparatus, the deposited banknotes are temporarily held in a batch, so that the banknotes can be continuously fed to the return section and returned. Because it is the same as the transport path at the time of money, return bills that do not need to be identified must also be returned by passing through the withdrawal identification unit in the same way as withdrawal bills. It takes much time to return it as well as it has, and the incidence of troubles such as jamming also increases. Also, at the time of storage, it is transported through the second return transport path, is re-identified by the identification unit, and is then stored in the denomination storage unit, so that it takes time to store as in the case of the return, In addition, there is a problem that the occurrence rate of troubles such as jamming increases.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a banknote pay-in / pay-out device capable of temporarily storing, storing, and returning deposited banknotes in a short time and efficiently. It is a thing.

In FIG. 2, a mark “△” indicates a sensor provided at each part for detecting passage of a bill and obtaining a predetermined signal.

FIG. 4 schematically shows the flow of bills and coins in the bill receiving / dispensing apparatus 1 and the coin receiving / dispensing apparatus 2 installed in the apparatus main body 3 shown in FIG. Are the same as those in FIG. Although the coin depositing and dispensing device 2 is not directly related to the present invention,
Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the above-described banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 1, the configuration will be briefly described briefly. Coins determined to be fake, damaged, etc., and determined to be accepted for payment, are temporarily stored in a single line state in the collective temporary storage unit 102 comprising a coin path in order.

In the case of storage, the transport path 104 goes to the denomination storage section 103 (in the order of 1 yen, 5 yen, 50 yen, 100 yen, 10 yen, 500 yen) arranged in ascending outer diameter. In the case of surplus, money is withdrawn from the storage unit 103 and stored in the collection cassette 105.

In the case of dispensing, it is dispensed to the dispensing section (dispensing port 10) through the transport path 106. The batch temporary holding unit 10
At the time of return from 2, the rejected coin at the time of deposit is also discharged to the dispensing section 10 through the transport path 107. Reference numeral 108 denotes a control unit of the coin depositing and dispensing device 2.

Next, the mode of operation of the above bill receiving / dispensing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (A) to 5 (D). At the time of depositing, banknotes to be deposited are put into the depositing port 4 all at _once , and when the start button is pressed, the belt 16 and the roller 17 of the depositing section 15 are driven by the motor M1 and the transport system (the identification transport path 21). , The payment transfer path 22 and the payment transfer path 23) are driven by the motor M ₂ , respectively, and the banknotes input to the payment transfer section 15 are transferred one by one by the belt 16 and the roller 17. The denomination is identified, and the identification result (denomination) is stored in the storage unit 91 in correspondence with the order of transfer.

On the other hand, at the time of batch temporary holding, the switching claw 79 of the switching mechanism 67 of the entrance / exit portion 40 of the batch temporary holding section 36 is switched to the position shown by the chain line in FIG. bill is fed by tracing the path of the arrow b in FIG. 3 to inlet and outlet portions 40, housed wound while being sandwiched between the tapes 44 and 45 on the peripheral surface of the rotating drum 43 to rotate normally driven by a motor M ₄ (FIG. 5A).

When a change bill is required for the above deposit,
The 5,000-yen bill and / or the 1,000-yen bill are fed out from the denomination storing sections 38, 39, and the switching claw 78 of the switching mechanism 67 is always open. To the withdrawal unit 2 through the withdrawal identification unit 24
It is sent to 5. The bills that have entered the dispensing section 25 are deposited on the receiving plate 30, and when the bills reach a predetermined amount, the elevating mechanism 2
Receiving plate 30 is raised by 9, the upper surface of the banknote is pressed against the lower surface of the belt 28, the bill is stopped so as to protrude length that grasp the dispensing port 5 by forward rotation movement of the belt 28 by the motor M ₃ , Complete the withdrawal operation. (FIG. 5 (B)).

The banknotes stored in the batch temporary holding section 36 are driven one by one by rotating the rotating drum 43 and the tapes 44 and 45 in reverse, and the denomination storage section 37 (10,000 yen) corresponding to the banknotes is fed out. 3 by the switching of the switching claw 79, as shown by the arrow A in FIG. 3, and is wound up and stored on the rotating drum 43 therein (FIG. 5C). When there are a plurality of temporarily stored banknotes, the storage unit 91 stores the denominations and storage order, and the banknotes are stored in the denomination storage units 37 to 39 based on the storage.

Further, when returning the banknotes collectively held in the collective temporary holding section 36, the switching claw 87 swings counterclockwise in FIG. 2 around the shaft 88 as a fulcrum, and the return conveyance path 89 is opened. The banknotes fed from the batch temporary holding section 36 are sent through the return transport path 89 to the dispensing transport path 23 immediately adjacent to the bill inlet section 41 of the dispensing section 25, and the switching claw 41 a of the entrance section 41 is switched. Instead, it is directly sent from the dispensing conveyance path 23 into the dispensing section 25 without passing through the dispensing identification section 24, and is dispensed to the dispensing port 5 in the same manner as the above-described fishing bill dispensing (FIG. 5). (D)).

In the above operation, the deposited banknotes are identified and collectively stored in the collective and temporary storing unit 36, and if the reserved amount is approved, it is possible to immediately proceed to change dispensing. Since it is sufficient to store the bills in the type storage units 37 to 39, the bills can be stored in parallel with the customer.

When returning the temporarily stored banknotes, the banknotes can be returned from the collective temporary storage unit 36 to the dispensing unit 25 by following the shortest course. In this case, the banknotes can be returned in a short time and the transport path is short. Since the paper does not pass through the identification unit where a jam is likely to occur, the probability of occurrence of a trouble such as a jam at the time of return is reduced.

[0048]

As described above, according to the present invention, a deposited banknote can be stored in the collective and temporary holding section immediately after the payment is identified, so that the processing time until the payment is approved can be shortened, and the collective and temporary In the case of returning the reserved banknotes, it is possible to return the banknotes from the lump holding section to the withdrawal section via the return transport path in the shortest course, and it is not necessary to pass through the identification section, so the return time can be significantly shortened In addition, the occurrence rate of troubles such as jams at the time of return can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the payment transfer path and the payment transfer path are concentrated at the center in the front-rear direction of the apparatus main body, the return transfer path can be shortened, and the time required for return can be further reduced.

Further, if a collection cassette is provided as in claim 3, it is possible to safely take out banknotes at the time of settlement or the like, and to use it as a spare storage section when each storage section overflows. Therefore, the capacity of the device can be increased.
