Description

Banknote transfer direction switching device for automated financial devices

The present invention relates to a banknote conveying direction changing device, and more particularly, to a banknote conveying direction changing device for an automated financial machine installed in an automated financial machine to change the conveying direction of banknotes in a conveying path.

Automated financial devices are devices that allow users to make deposits and withdrawals such as cash or checks, account transfers, and inquiries without time restrictions using a cash card or passbook issued by a financial institution. It is an unmanned terminal widely used in the financial industry.

In general, the automated financial device is provided on a conveyance path through which banknotes deposited and withdrawn through a deposit and withdrawal unit for a user to insert or receive banknotes for deposit and withdrawal, and a conveyance path to discriminate whether or not there is an abnormality in banknotes and the type of banknotes. A temporary storage unit for temporarily storing banknotes deposited after passing through the division and discrimination unit; a reject note storage unit for storing banknotes that are identified as having an abnormality in the discrimination unit among withdrawal banknotes; and a storage unit for receiving banknotes deposited from customers It may include a plurality of bill storage units that perform a reflux function by withdrawing bills.

And, the gate provided in the conveyance path is usually made of a blade shape that is installed rotatably about a rotation axis at a location where the conveyance path is branched, so that the banknotes transferred from any one conveyance path in response to the deposit/withdrawal step are transferred to the rest. It is configured to be connected to a conveyance path of any one of the furnaces. Since the gate is a very important factor in determining the transport path of banknotes, an operation error of the gate may cause malfunction of the banknote deposit/withdrawal device.

And, the conveying path is provided with a banknote conveying direction switching device is configured to switch the banknotes conveyed in each deposit/withdrawal step to a multi-directional conveyance path.

The conventional banknote conveying direction switching device usually has a blade shape that is rotatably installed at a location where the three-way conveying paths branch, so that the banknotes transferred from any one conveying path in response to the deposit/withdrawal step are transferred from one of the other two conveying paths. It is configured to be connected to any one conveyance path.

However, the conventional banknote conveying direction changing device has a limitation in prompt response to the conveying path change as the blades are rotated in all three directions to change the conveying path of the banknote. There is a problem in that the transfer time is delayed along the route set in response to the deposit and withdrawal step.

In addition, the conventional banknote conveying direction changing device is limited to a conveying path branching in up to three directions. In recent years, an increase in the branching direction of the conveying path is required due to the diversified arrangement of cassettes, but the conventional banknote conveying direction changing device is actively There is a problem that cannot be addressed.
