Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Field of Industrial Application" This invention has a circulation function or distribution function that allows banknotes to be deposited and withdrawn, and the deposited banknotes to be reused as banknotes for withdrawal. The present invention relates to a bill depositing and dispensing machine, and particularly to a bill depositing and dispensing machine that can be efficiently used at counters of financial institutions such as banks.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, bill depositing and dispensing machines have been used, for example, as bill depositing and dispensing machines that can deposit and withdraw bills and have circulation and distribution functions that allow deposited bills to be reused as bills for withdrawal. There is one described in JP-A-59-72592.

In other words, this device can insert and remove banknotes,
In order to facilitate returns, the customer service department is configured in only one place, and this customer service department functions as a single-bill separation unit to separate and count the bills that are inserted from the transaction opening one by one. It also has a function to accept banknotes that are returned unrecognizable when counting deposits, or banknotes that are temporarily stored until the number of banknotes instructed to be withdrawn is accumulated at the time of withdrawal.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' However, since the conventional bill depositing and dispensing machine described above has only one customer service department, it is not possible to perform any withdrawal processing during deposit processing.

In other words, conventional banknote deposit and withdrawal machines are designed for use in automated corners of financial institutions such as banks, where customers are required to selectively deposit or withdraw banknotes by operating the machine one by one. It was developed and was not intended to process deposits and withdrawals at the same time.

Furthermore, although it is possible for the customer service department in this device to separate and feed out the banknotes to be deposited one by one, when determining whether the banknotes are being fed out, it is possible for the customer service department in this device to separate and feed out the banknotes to be deposited one by one. There is no function to temporarily store the banknotes separately from the bills being dispensed (returned banknotes are temporarily stored separately and sent to the customer service department after the customer service department finishes dispensing the deposited banknotes), and on the other hand, the customer service department does not have a banknote accumulation function. Due to this, when withdrawing money, it is necessary to accumulate and temporarily store the banknotes to be withdrawn at another location, and then transport them in the accumulated state and send them to the customer service department. Due to the presence of each component that performs these functions, the overall structure of the device becomes large, or these components occupy a large space inside the device, which limits the banknote storage capacity.

In addition, there is a demand for financial institutions such as banks to adopt a circulating type of equipment for processing deposits and withdrawals at counters to improve fund management efficiency. are its installation conditions,
In other words, due to the condition that it is established and shared between two tellers, parallel processing (withdrawal processing based on the operations of one teller) is not possible with the above-mentioned circulating deposit/withdrawal system for automated corners. and deposit processing based on the operations of the other teller), and if the above-mentioned circulating deposit/withdrawal machine for unmanned corners where parallel processing is not possible is applied as is, processing by one teller The other teller may make the customer wait until the other teller has finished processing, or
Alternatively, it is necessary to reliably store banknotes received from customers, which leads to problems such as deterioration of counter service or decrease of counter operation efficiency.

Therefore, in the case of conventional financial institutions, etc., it is necessary to install a deposit machine and a withdrawal machine at the counter, each configured to be shared by two tellers, for the purpose of parallel processing. Therefore, they had no choice but to accept the above-mentioned problem of capital efficiency or the problem of space factors within the stores of financial institutions.

The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and
To provide a transaction outlet deposit/withdrawal mechanism for a banknote deposit/withdrawal machine which is installed at a counter of a financial institution such as a bank, is shared by two tellers, allows deposits and withdrawals at the same time, and is compact in size. In addition, even if two tellers perform deposit processing at the same time, any teller can input banknotes received from a customer and to be deposited into the machine. The purpose is to

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to deposit and withdraw banknotes, and
A banknote deposit and withdrawal machine that can distribute and store deposited banknotes by denomination as withdrawal banknotes for reuse, has two sets of transaction ports located on the left and right sides of the upper front of the machine and communicating with the outside of the machine.

A storage part partition plate is provided between the first placement plate and the second placement plate, and prevents the movement of banknotes to the second placement plate due to the inclination of the first placement plate. Regulate or permit. Further, the transfer mechanism is interposed between the series of banknote guide surfaces and can move the banknotes while maintaining the stacked state with the banknotes being sandwiched between the upper and lower transfer belts. Further, in the feeding and stacking mechanism, the bill feeding mechanism applies a frictional force to the bottom surface of the banknotes on the second placement plate to feed the bills one by one into the machine. , it is possible to receive banknotes above the second mounting plate and stack them in an aligned state while dropping them onto the second mounting plate. Furthermore, even if one transaction outlet mechanism is about to receive banknotes from the feeding and stacking mechanism, it is possible to accept and place the deposited banknotes on the first placement plate in the other transaction outlet mechanism. Since this is possible, the teller operating the other transaction outlet mechanism does not need to have the banknotes deposited by the customer on hand.
In other words, when a withdrawal is being made at one trading outlet, the other trading outlet functions to accept and store banknotes, making it appear as if both trading outlets are processing deposits and withdrawals at the same time. appear.

The slide belt 130 is connected to the moving frame 73 of the feeding and accumulating mechanism 5.

Next, the depositing process and the dispensing process of the bill depositing and dispensing machine will be explained.

(A) Deposit processing (see Figures 9 to 11) (i) When the teller instructs the deposit process, the lock piece 124 of the shutter 4 on the side where the instruction was given is disengaged from the lock plate 121; When the shutter motor 66 is rotated in this state, one shutter 4 becomes open. Furthermore, the slide motor 125 is operated to slide the feed-out and accumulation mechanism 5 in the width direction of the machine body 1, and it is placed in a position facing the transaction opening mechanism 3 for which the instruction has been given.

(ii) When the accumulated banknotes S are placed on the first placement plate 59 of the transaction port mechanism 3 and the shutter 4 is closed, the banknotes S are prevented from slipping downward by the storage section partition plate 82. The first mounting plate 5 is
It is placed on top of 9. (See FIG. 9) (iii) When the camshaft 89 is rotated by the transfer motor 85, the first to third eccentric cams 90 to 92
are activated to lower the storage section partition plate 82 and move the lower transfer belt 83 onto the mounting plate 5.
9 and 74, and further lowers the upper transfer belt 84 to sandwich the stacked banknotes S between it and the lower transfer belt 83. Then, when both the transfer belts 83 and 84 are run in this state, the stacked banknotes S are sent out toward the second placement plate 74. (See FIG. 10) (iv) When the stacked banknotes S are fed into the second placement plate 74, the slide motor 125 is activated again to slide the feeding and stacking mechanism 5, as shown in FIG. It is placed in the center between the two transaction port mechanisms 3, 3 (a position where it can be delivered to and from the transport route inside the aircraft). Next, when the gate solenoid 80 is actuated, the opening/closing gate 78 and the partition plate 81 turn around the shaft 77 while keeping their mutual angle constant (the clock moves from the position shown in FIG. 10 to the position shown in FIG. 11). rotation)
Then, the partition plate 81 is lowered onto the stacked banknotes S, and the opening/closing gate 78 is raised to open the banknote 76 for banknote insertion. Then, when the banknote feeding mechanism, that is, the kicking roller 6 and the feeding roller 7 are operated, a frictional force is applied from the kicking roller 6 to the lower surface of the stacked banknotes S on the second mounting plate 74, and the banknote is pushed downward. The sheets are sent one by one to the determination route 10, and a determination is made as to whether or not they can be accepted. In this feeding of banknotes, the kicking roller 6
Since the stacked banknotes S are held between the partition plate 81 and the partition plate 81, a large frictional force can be applied to the banknotes. Then, the determined banknotes are taken into the machine depending on the result, or are passed through the payment route 55 and the collection vehicle 9 to the partition plate 8.
Fall on top of 1. Therefore, when the stacked banknotes S are discriminated, the banknotes S determined to be unacceptable will not be mixed with the undiscriminated banknotes S on the second mounting plate 74. (See Figure 11) (v) After all the banknotes on the second placement plate 74 have been identified, the upper and lower transfer belts 83 and 84 are operated to transfer the banknotes S in the opposite manner to (iii) above. 1 mounting plate 5
Send it to 9. Then, by opening the shutter 4 in this state, the teller can take out the unacceptable bill S from the bill depositing and dispensing machine.

(B) Withdrawal processing (see Figures 12 and 13) (i) Operate the gate solenoid 80 to close the gap 76 with the opening/closing gate 78 and close the partition plate 81.
is swiveled upward, the storage part partition plate 82 is raised, the upper and lower transfer belts 83 and 84 are retracted upward and downward, respectively, and the feeding and accumulating mechanism 5 is placed in the central position,
In this state, each withdrawal storage section 19, 20, 2 in the aircraft
Feed out banknotes one by one from 1. The sent-out banknotes are conveyed along the dispensing route 55 and sent onto the second placement plate 74 via the collection vehicle 9 . (See Fig. 12) (ii) After stacking a predetermined number of banknotes on the second placement plate 74, the stacking unit 5 is fed out to a position facing the transaction port mechanism 3 on the side that issued the withdrawal command. move. Next, the storage section partition plate 82 is lowered, the stacked banknotes S are sandwiched between the upper and lower transfer belts 83 and 84, and the stacked banknotes S are sent from the second mounting plate 74 to the first mounting plate 59. (See Figure 13) (iii) After the stacked banknotes S are fed onto the first loading plate 59, by opening the shutter 4 on the side where the withdrawal command has been issued, the banknote depositing and dispensing machine can be removed. It becomes possible to take out banknotes.

In addition, the circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine of the above embodiment is as follows:

and 2, or because it has the same basic configuration as the "recirculating bill depositing and dispensing machine" described in Patent Applications 1 and 2 filed on May 16, 1989, it is possible to process other than deposits and withdrawals. , deposit/withdrawal box 43
A distribution process for distributing genuine bills (banknotes that can be reused as dispensing banknotes) to each of the storage units 19 to 21, and an end-of-day process for collecting all the banknotes in each storage unit 19 to 21 to the deposit/withdrawal box 43, etc. You can, but
Since these processes are not directly related to the gist of the present application, their explanation will be omitted.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the feeding and accumulating mechanism is moved by a slide motor and placed in a position directly facing either of the two sets of transaction opening mechanisms. One of the first placing plates of each transaction port mechanism is connected to a second placing plate arranged in the same plane to form a series of banknote guide surfaces, and along this banknote guide surface, The banknotes can be transferred between the first and second placing plates while the transfer belt is conveyed by the belt. A frictional force is applied to the banknotes to feed them one by one into the machine, and a stacking vehicle receives the banknotes above the second plate and arranges them while dropping them onto the second plate. (b) A bill depositing and dispensing machine that is equipped with only one system of a storage section for deposited banknotes, a storage section for disbursed banknotes, or a conveyance section that connects these storage sections and a transaction port. For example, even while one teller is making a deposit or withdrawal, the other teller can deposit or withdraw money by inserting banknotes into the transaction port mechanism. ,
You are freed from the responsibility of storing cash received from customers, or you no longer have to keep customers waiting.
It is possible to streamline counter operations or improve customer service.

(b) Since the various mechanisms inside the machine need only be in one series, the width of the bill depositing and dispensing machine can be reduced to the size of two transaction ports arranged in parallel.

(c) In addition to the above-mentioned effects, the space inside the bill depositing and dispensing machine can be used effectively to increase the bill storage capacity.

It has the following effects.
