The automatic teller machine 1 is a device that stores banknotes deposited (injected) from a user inside and withdraws (delivers) the banknotes stored inside to the user, and has: an upper front panel 1a, a device case 1b, The safe box 1c, the banknote processing device 100, the card and statement processing mechanism 201 and the customer operation part 202 are provided inside. Moreover, some automatic teller machine 1 also has the bankbook processing apparatus which handles a passbook, and the coin handling apparatus which handles a coin.

The banknote processing device 100 is a device for processing banknotes, and is installed inside the device case 1b. The banknote storage which stores banknotes is provided in the lower part of the banknote processing apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. The banknote storage is surrounded by a safe box 1c formed of an iron plate (for example, a thickness of several tens of mm) which is different from the device box 1b. In order to improve the safety of the automatic teller machine 1, it is preferable that the safe box 1c is formed with a stronger structure than the apparatus box 1b.

The upper front panel 1a provided on the front side (front side) of the device is provided with an opening 1d for the user to insert and send out banknotes, insert and eject cards, and send out a statement (receipt). Detail single slot 1e. It is preferable to ensure the magnitude|size of the banknote thickness direction of opening part 1d in the grade which a user's hand can enter. Inside the opening part 1d, the deposit and withdrawal port unit which performs input and delivery of banknotes in the banknote processing apparatus 100 is provided. In addition, a card and statement slip processing mechanism 201 is provided inside the card and statement slip slot 1e.

The card and statement processing mechanism 201 is a mechanism for processing the user's card through the card and statement slot 1e, printing and sending out the transaction statement, and is built in the upper right side of the automatic teller machine 1 . The customer operation part 202 is a part for displaying and inputting transaction details, and is provided on the upper left side of the upper front panel 1a.

FIG. 2 shows a control block diagram of the automatic teller machine 200 . Installed in the cash automatic teller machine 200 are: the device 100, the card statement processing mechanism 201, the customer operation part 202, the manager operation part 203, the external interface part 204 for sending and receiving data with the outside of the banknote processing, and storing the basic information of each device. A storage unit 205 for information, programs, etc., a power supply unit 206 for supplying electric power to each of the above-mentioned units, and a main body control unit 210 for controlling these units.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of the banknote handling apparatus 100 . The banknote handling device 100 has: a deposit and withdrawal port unit 101 for taking and unloading banknotes when a user deposits and withdraws money; a temporary storage unit 102 for temporarily storing banknotes in transactions; And the authentication unit 103 for confirming the authenticity; the storage 104 for storing the banknotes that have been deposited and the banknotes to be withdrawn; the transport path 105 for transporting banknotes between each unit; the sensor information that is located in each unit or the transport path Or the control part 106 which controls each part, such as processing of the banknote information discriminated by the discrimination|determination unit 103 (currency type, banknote size, posture in conveyance of a banknote, banknote interval), etc.

Next, the operation|movement of the banknote handling apparatus 100 is demonstrated. The basic processing of the banknote processing apparatus 100 mainly includes deposit processing, storage processing, and payment processing.

The deposit process is a process of conveying the banknotes deposited from the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 into the device. First, the banknote sent out from the deposit and withdrawal unit 101 is conveyed to the discrimination unit 103 via the conveyance path 105, and the type and authenticity of the banknote are discriminated. Among the results of the discrimination, the banknotes judged to be acceptable are conveyed to the temporary storage unit 102 via the rear conveyance path 105a. On the other hand, the banknote judged to be unacceptable is conveyed to the deposit and withdrawal unit 101 via the front conveyance path 105b. Here, the process of conveying the banknote judged as unacceptable by the identification unit 103 to the deposit/withdrawal unit 101 and returning it to the user is called deposit rejection process.

The storage process is to pass the banknotes temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 102 through the conveyance path 105a after confirming the deposit, and to re-identify the state of the banknotes (transportation posture, banknote interval, etc.) by the identification unit 103, and store them in the storage. 104 processing. The deposit transaction is completed through the above-mentioned deposit processing and storage processing.

The payment process is a process in which only a necessary number of banknotes stored in the storage 104 are sent out and provided to the user. The banknote sent out from the storage 104 is conveyed to the deposit and withdrawal unit 101 via the conveyance path 106 and the identification unit 103 . By the identification means 103, it is confirmed whether it is a banknote suitable for payment by checking the currency type, the conveyance state of a banknote, etc., and distinguishing.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the deposit and withdrawal port unit 101 will be described in detail using FIGS. 4 to 6 . FIG. 4 is a side view showing the configuration of the deposit and withdrawal port unit 101 . The deposit and withdrawal port unit 101 has: a stacking guide 13 and an accumulation guide 17 as guides for accumulating operations in the deposit withdrawal process and the deposit rejection process; 14. Bottom plate 15 for aligning the lower ends of accumulated banknotes in the longitudinal direction, an accumulation mechanism for accumulating banknotes in payment processing and payment rejection processing, a separation mechanism for separating banknotes in payment processing, according to The upper plate 23 for opening and closing transaction details, and the lower end support member 24 provided on the bottom plate 15 to support the end (lower end) of the banknote in the longitudinal direction.

The operation plate 14 is moved to the front side (right side in the figure) or the back side (left side in the figure) of the banknote handling apparatus 100 by a moving device not shown. In addition, among the banknote storage sections divided into two by the operation plate, the banknote storage section (first banknote storage section S1 ) on the back side of the banknote handling device 100 stores the banknotes fed one by one so that they can be processed or rejected in payment processing. Banknotes are returned to the deposit and withdrawal port unit 101 during deposit processing. On the other hand, the banknote storage part (2nd banknote storage part S2) of the front side of the banknote processing apparatus 100 accommodates the deposit banknote received from a user.

Next, the specific composition of the accumulation mechanism will be described. The accumulating mechanism has: a loop sheet roller (loop sheet rooler) 16 driven by a driving device not shown in the figure, an accumulating guide 17 disposed opposite to the loop sheet roller 16 and overlapping with each other, in order to send the banknotes to the first The drive roller 18 rotated by one banknote accommodating part S1, and the follower roller 19 which press-contacts this drive roller and rotates drivenly. Moreover, the conveyance path 21 for conveying a banknote to a stacking mechanism has the passing sensor 22 for detecting the passing banknote. The banknotes transported to the deposit and withdrawal unit 101 are guided to the stacking guide 17 (see arrow A) via the transport path 21, and are stacked in the first banknote storage unit S1. The first banknote accommodating part S1 is the space formed by the stacking guide part 13, the operating plate 14, the bottom plate 15 and the upper plate 23, and the volume can be expanded and reduced by the movement of the operating plate 14.

The loop sheet roller 16 is provided with a loop portion 161 having a function of acting on a banknote with a force opposite to the transport direction to stop the banknote, and a sheet portion 162 for moving the banknote to the first banknote storage unit S1 . In addition, the ring sheet roll 16 is preferably formed of an elastic member such as rubber or plastic material. In addition, in FIG. 4 , the combination of the ring portion 161 and the sheet portion 162 (hereinafter referred to as ring sheet) is provided at three positions at intervals of 120°, but the number is not limited to this number. Moreover, the structure which stops the banknote by the action of the sheet|seat part 162, for example without providing the ring part 161 may be employ|adopted.

The amount δ by which the ring sheet roll 16 overlaps the accumulation guide 17 is determined by the positional relationship with a phase plate (not shown) provided on the shaft 16 p of the ring sheet roll 16 . The loop sheet roller 16 overlaps with the accumulation guide 17, whereby when the banknotes are transported to the accumulation mechanism, the loop sheet of the loop sheet roller 16 stops at a predetermined position (hereinafter, the stop position of the loop sheet roller 16 is referred to as an accumulation position). standby position). Whenever the banknotes are conveyed to the stacking mechanism, the loop sheet roller 16 rotates, and any one of the loop sheets exists at the stacking standby position.

Next, a specific configuration of the separation mechanism will be described. The separation mechanism includes a pick-up roller 31 , a feed roller 32 , and a gate roller 33 as rollers for feeding out the banknotes stored in the second banknote storage unit S2 one by one. When banknotes are separated, the following processes are performed. First, the operation plate 14 moves toward the front of the banknote handling apparatus 100, whereby the banknote to be separated is pushed by the pick-up roller 31, and moves to a position where the pushing force is detected by a sensor not shown (pressing force). detect position) and stop. At this time, the banknote is pressed against the pick-up roller 31 with a constant pressing force. The pick-up roller 31 rotates in this pressed state, whereby the banknotes are separated and conveyed in the arrow B direction. In addition, the pressure detection position of the operation plate 14 changes according to the amount of the banknote accommodated in the 2nd banknote accommodating part S2.

Next, the lower end support member 24 will be described using FIG. 5 . The lower end support member 24 is provided at a position capable of supporting the end (lower end) of the banknote in the longitudinal direction so that even if the banknote with a small size is stacked in a state tilted toward the stacking mechanism, it will not fall down. Specifically, when the distance from the position of the lower end support member 24 to the accumulation guide 17 is defined as the accumulation width W, the threshold value W1 of the accumulation width W for stacking the banknotes without falling down is determined by the banknotes to be processed. The minimum size lmin in the width direction is determined. That is, if the allowable tipping angle of banknotes is φ (0°<φ<90°), then W1=lmin×cosφ, and the lower end support member 24 is set at the position of W<W1, thus, the accumulated banknotes will not It will fall below the allowable fall angle φ. That is, it is preferable to make the distance between the stacking guide 17 and the lower end support member 24 shorter than the minimum dimension lmin of the banknote.

In addition, the lower end support member 24 must not obstruct when the operation plate 14 moves the banknote accommodated in the 2nd banknote storage part S2 to the separation mechanism side. For example, it is preferable to employ a configuration in which the lower end supporting member 24 is formed by an elastic member (for example, rubber or plastic material), deformed to such a degree that it can retreat relative to the banknote moved by being pushed by the action plate 14, and does not go beyond the lower end support. The manner of the member 24 supports the banknote which is inclined and will slip. As a specific example, when a thin plastic sheet is used as the lower end support member 24, the thickness direction of the plastic sheet becomes the operating direction of the operating plate 14, and the plastic sheet is fixed to the bottom plate in such a manner that the top end of the plastic sheet protrudes from the bottom plate 15. 15. In this configuration, due to the rigidity of the plastic sheet, if it is strongly pushed by the operation of the operation plate 14, the plastic sheet bends and retreats, and does not hinder the movement of the banknote pressed by the operation plate 14. In addition, when the banknotes located in the stacking space S1 tend to slip, since only a small load due to the weight of the banknotes acts on the plastic sheet, the deflection is small and the banknotes can be supported.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the configuration of the deposit and withdrawal port unit 101 . The control unit 106 that sends a drive control signal to the operating plate drive motor 26 has a storage unit 106m that stores the rotation amount of the operating plate drive motor 26 one by one, and a calculation unit 106c that determines the rotation amount or rotation speed of the operating plate drive motor 26 . In addition, the operation plate drive motor 26 and the operation plate 14 are connected via the conveyor belt 20 made of an elastic member such as rubber, and the drive of the operation plate drive motor 26 is transmitted to the operation plate 14 . When the banknote handling apparatus 100 is activated by the control of the control part 106, the operation plate 14 moves to the predetermined initial position. Thereafter, the rotation history of the operating plate drive motor 26 is stored in the storage unit 106m of the control unit 106, whereby the position of the operating plate 14 can be grasped.

Hereinafter, the stacking operation in the money-payment port unit 101 will be described in detail using the side views of the stacking mechanism of the money-payment port unit 101 shown in FIGS. 7 to 11 . In addition, the accumulated banknotes will be described as P1, P2, P3, ... PN in the order of entry.

Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a state before the first banknote P1 is conveyed to the first banknote storage section S1. The ring sheet roller 16 is stopped at the above-described accumulation standby position. At this time, the ring portion 161 of the ring sheet roller 16 does not come into contact with the conveyed banknote P1, thereby preventing jamming of the banknote.

Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the first banknote P1 is conveyed to the first banknote storage section S1. The first banknote P1 passing through the conveyance path 21 is conveyed between the ring portion 161 of the ring sheet roller 16 and the accumulation guide 17 by the conveyance force generated by the driving roller 18 . As mentioned above, the ring part 161 overlaps with the stacking guide part 17, and the ring part 161 bends by conveying a banknote. In addition, since the ring portion 161 is formed of an elastic member, the first banknote P1 is held without buckling. Thereafter, when the lower end of the first banknote P1 escapes from the nip point between the driving roller 18 and the driven roller 19, the first banknote P1 is released by the transport resistance received from the stopped ring portion 161 and the accumulation guide portion 17. stop. Moreover, even if the upper end of the 1st banknote P1 contacts the stacking rib 11, even if the 2nd banknote P2 is conveyed to the 1st banknote accommodating part S1, it will prevent a banknote from falling down.

Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a state before the second banknote P2 is conveyed to the first banknote storage section S1. When the tip of the second banknote P2 is detected by the sensor 22, the ring sheet roller 16 rotates 120° in the X direction in the figure (the device front side), and the next ring portion 161 stops when it reaches the stacking standby position. When the ring sheet roller 16 rotates, the sheet portion 162 contacts the lower end of the first banknote P1 more than once, whereby the first banknote P1 is sent out in the Z direction in the drawing.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a state in which the second banknote P2 is conveyed to the first banknote storage section S1. Like the first banknote P1 , the second banknote P2 is transported between the ring portion 161 of the ring sheet roller 16 and the stacking guide 17 , and is stopped while being sandwiched between the ring portion 161 and the stacking guide 17 . At this time, the tip of the second banknote P2 is in contact with the first banknote P1 at the contact point between the accumulated first banknote P1 and the accumulation rib 11 . Then, the stacked first banknote P1 moves toward the operating plate 14, whereby the tip of the second banknote P2 enters between the stacking rib 11 and the stacked first banknote P1.

Fig. 11 is a diagram showing a state before the third banknote P3 is conveyed to the first banknote storage section S1. When the tip of the third banknote P3 is detected by the sensor 22, the ring sheet roller 16 rotates 120° in the X direction (apparatus front side), and the next ring portion 161 stops when it reaches the stacking standby position. When the ring sheet roller 16 rotates, the sheet portion 162 contacts the lower end of the second banknote P2 more than once, whereby the second banknote P2 is sent out in the Z direction in the drawing. Thereafter, the third banknote P3 is accumulated in the same order as the first banknote P1 and the second banknote P2.

The above operation is repeated until the Nth banknote PN is conveyed to the 1st banknote accommodating part S1. The control part 106 moves the operation plate 14 so that the 1st banknote accommodating part S1 may be hold|maintained in the space size suitable for accumulation according to the accumulated number of sheets.

When the accumulation operation as described above is the accumulation operation of the payment process, no banknotes are accommodated in the second banknote storage unit S2. Therefore, there is no problem in moving the operation plate 14 to the side of the separation mechanism according to the number of banknotes to be conveyed in a state in which the operation plate 14 has moved to the vicinity of the stacking mechanism. That is, the conveyed banknotes can be accumulated in a state where the capacity of the first banknote accommodating portion S1 is appropriate. However, when the accumulating action is the accumulating action of the deposit rejection process, the banknotes stored in the second banknote accommodating section S2 are also separated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. In the vicinity of the pick-up roller 31 of the mechanism, the volume of the first banknote storage part S1 is too large. In such a case, a banknote with a small banknote size falls over in the first banknote accommodating portion S1, and in subsequent operations, the banknote may be buckled, and the banknote may enter the bottom of the operating plate, making it difficult to pull out the banknote. Incoming banknotes cause malfunction.

Hereinafter, using the side views of the accumulation mechanism of the deposit and withdrawal unit 101 shown in FIGS. 12 to 15 and the flow chart shown in FIG. 16, the deposit and withdrawal process of the deposit and withdrawal unit 101 during the deposit processing and rejection processing of banknotes will be described. The cumulative action in is described in detail. In addition, in each step of FIG. 16, steps S101-S106, S116-S117 are set as deposit processing, and steps S107-S115 are set as deposit rejection processing.

After the banknotes to be deposited are dropped into the second banknote accommodating part S2 by the user, the action plate 14 moves to the push detection position, as shown in FIG. The banknote on the side of the separation mechanism is in contact with the pickup roller 31 (step S101 ). In addition, the ring sheet roller 16 is rotated so that the ring portion 161 has reached the stacking standby position (step S102 ). In addition, regardless of the order of step S101 and step S102, another process may be started before either process is completed.

After step S101 and step S102 are completed, the pick-up roller 31 is driven, and separation of the banknote accommodated in the 2nd banknote storage part S2 is started (step S103). During separation of banknotes, when the sensor not shown does not detect the pressing force of the operating plate 14 (step S104: N), the state in which the pickup roller 31 is rotated is maintained, and the operating plate 14 is moved to the pressing position. Detect the position and stop (step S105).

When the first rejected deposit occurs (step S106: Y, step S107: N), the ring sheet roller 16 is rotated to the accumulation standby position, and rotated to the accumulation position in order to accumulate the rejected banknotes to be transported. Standby position (step S108). Thereafter, the first rejected banknote P1 is sandwiched by the ring portion 161 of the ring sheet roller 16 and the stacking guide portion 17 via the conveyance path 21 . In addition, during the deposit process, until the first banknote rejected is transported to the stacking mechanism, in principle, there is no banknote in the stacking mechanism, but if there is a banknote held by the ring portion 161 and the stacking guide portion 17, The banknote is delivered to the 1st banknote storage part S1.

When the second rejected banknote P2 occurs (step S106: Y, step S107: Y), it is judged whether the operating plate 14 exists at a predetermined position on the accumulation mechanism side (device rear) than the lower support member 24 (the rejected banknote receiving position 14 a ) is closer to the separation mechanism side (apparatus front) than (step S109 ). Since there are many banknotes inserted into the second banknote storage unit S2, if the operating plate 14 is located closer to the stacking mechanism side than the rejected banknote receiving position 14a (step S109:N), even if the operation plate 14 is not activated The plate 14 moves without the first rejected banknote P1 falling over. On the other hand, when there are few banknotes inserted into the second banknote accommodating part S2, and the operation plate 14 exists on the side of the stacking mechanism than the rejected banknote receiving position 14a (step S109: Y), as shown in FIG. As shown in 13 , the operating plate 14 is moved to the side closer to the stacking mechanism (device rear) than the lower support member 24 , and stops at the rejected banknote receiving position 14 a (step S110 ). Moreover, since the banknote accommodated in the 2nd banknote accommodating part S2 is not pressed by the operation plate 14, when sending out by the pick-up roller 31, jamming may generate|occur|produce. Therefore, the drive of the pickup roller 31 is stopped (step S111 ). In addition, either the stop of the movement of the operation plate 14 or the stop of the pickup roller 31 may be preceded, but in consideration of preventing jamming, it is preferable that the movement of the operation plate 14 is started before the stop of the drive of the pickup roller 31 is stopped. conduct.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14 , the ring sheet roller 16 is rotated by 120° to the next stacking standby position, whereby the first rejected banknote P1 is delivered to the first banknote storage unit S1 (step S112 ). The first rejected banknote P1 sent out by the loop sheet roller 16 is caught by the operation plate 14 stopped at the rejected banknote receiving position 14a. Moreover, the second deposit-rejected banknote P2 conveyed via the conveyance path 21 is sandwiched between the ring part 161 of the ring sheet roller 16 and the stacking guide part 17 .

At this time, even if the first rejected banknote P1 that has been sent to the first banknote accommodating portion S1 bounces back on the action plate 14 and falls to the side of the accumulation mechanism, it will be caught by the second rejected banknote P2. The upper end of the banknote will fall to contact with the bottom plate 15 due to its own weight.

After sending out the first rejected banknote P1 to the first banknote storage unit S1, in order to separate the banknotes stored in the second banknote storage unit S2, as shown in FIG. The position is detected (steps S113 , S114 ), and the drive of the pickup roller 31 is turned on again (step S115 ). In this case, the volume of the first banknote accommodating portion S1 is expanded, and the lower end of the first rejected banknote P1 is supported by the lower end support member 24. Therefore, similarly to the case where the operation plate 14 exists in the deposit rejection banknote receiving position 14a, the upper end of a banknote does not fall down until it contacts the bottom plate 15. As shown in FIG.

After all the banknotes accommodated in the 2nd banknote storage part S2 were separated (step S116), the rotation of the pickup roller 31 is stopped (step S117).

With the above configuration and processing, even when the capacity of the banknote storage unit is enlarged, the deposit-rejected banknotes can be reliably accumulated.

In this embodiment, only when the second rejected banknote P2 is conveyed to the first banknote storage section, the operating plate 14 is moved to the rejected banknote receiving position 14a, and the first rejected banknote is moved to the receiving position 14a. In the case of the payment banknote P1, it just stops in the state of being clamped by the ring portion 161 of the ring sheet roller 16 and the accumulation guide 17. This is because, after the second rejected banknote P2 is conveyed, the banknote P1 will be sent out to the 1st banknote accommodating part S1. In addition, because, in the case of the third and subsequent rejected banknotes, the rejected banknotes that have been accumulated in the first banknote accommodating portion S1 exist on the side of the stacking mechanism closer to the rear of the device than the lower support member 24. The rejected banknotes have the same function as the operating plate 14 that has retreated to the rejected banknote receiving position 14a, and the possibility that the upper ends of the banknotes fall to the bottom plate 15 is low. Moreover, in order to prevent reliably that the upper end of a banknote falls to the bottom plate 15, you may perform the process similar to the 2nd deposit-rejection banknote P2 also in the third and subsequent refuse deposit banknotes.

In addition, if the frictional force between the lower end of the banknote and the bottom plate 15 is large enough to prevent the tipping of the upper end of the banknote without the lower end support member 24, the lower end support member 24 may not be required. In this case, in order to accommodate a banknote in the 1st banknote accommodating part S1, as mentioned above, the operation plate 14 is moved so that the cumulative width W of the 1st banknote accommodating part S1 may satisfy W<W1.
