Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily distinguish excess paper money from other rejected paper money by switching a rejected paper money safe from a rejected paper money storing part to an excess paper money storing part when a previously determined time has elapsed and then storing excess paper money. CONSTITUTION:When a customer inserts a card 24 from a card inserting port 25, depresses a key on an operation part in accordance with a guide display and inputs information such as a personal identification (ID) number and required amount to be paid, a control part drives a delivering mechanism part and separates and delivers paper money respectively from a 1000-YEN safe 33 and a 10000-YEN safe 34. If the customer misses the extraction of the paper money and time-out is (resulted,) the control part drives a shutter driving part to close a shutter 27, drives a carrying mechanism part to carry paper money up to the rejected paper money receiving port 15a of a rejected paper money safe 15 by the 6th carrying part 62 and drives a storing part switching mechanism part to enter the left paper money to the excess paper money storing part.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote automatic transaction device installed in a store of a financial institution, and more particularly to a reject banknote safe for storing non-payable banknotes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a banknote automatic teller machine installed in a store of a financial institution, etc., dispenses banknotes from a safe to a dispensing port and opens a shutter based on a customer's operation. Even if there are banknotes in the dispensing port, the shutter is closed and the banknotes are conveyed to the reject banknote intake port and stored in the reject banknote safe.

FIG. 11 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of a conventional example. When the customer inserts a card from a card insertion opening (not shown) and presses a key on an operation unit (not shown) to input information such as a personal identification number and a required payment amount,
A payout means 1 from the 1,000 yen safe 8 and the 10,000 yen safe 9, respectively.
The bills are separated one by one by 0 and 11 and fed out in order, and the fed bills are conveyed by the conveying paths 12a to 12c and accumulated on the stage 6 by the accumulating roller 7. Then, the bills of the amount and the number of sheets requested by the customer are accumulated on the stage 6, and when the receipt on which the details of the transaction are printed is sent from the receipt printing mechanism (not shown) onto the bills, The shutter 5 is opened by means not shown, and the dispensing port 2
Let the customer take out the bills on stage 6.

On the other hand, if an abnormal conveyance of bills is detected in the conveying paths 12a to 12c, or if there is a bill that cannot be discriminated by denomination or is uncountable, these abnormal bills are staked.
After being accumulated on the page 6, the stage 6 rotates in the direction of the arrow A by means not shown, and the abnormal banknotes are dropped and stored in the reject banknote safe 13 together with the normal banknotes already accumulated. .

After that, the stage 6 is rotated in the direction of the arrow B to return to the original horizontal posture, the bills are again fed out, conveyed, and accumulated on the stage 6, and the receipt is performed. When the printing machine sends the receipt on which the details of the transaction are printed on the bill, the customer is paid as described above. Further, if the customer does not take out the bill even if the shutter 5 is opened, that is, if the customer forgets to take the bill, the shutter 5 is closed after a certain period of time, and the step is performed.
The bill 6 rotates downward, and the banknotes that have been forgotten are stored in the reject banknote safe 13.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In a conventional automatic banknote transaction apparatus, a banknote that has been determined to be unidentifiable or uncountable due to skewing, double-sheet feeding (hereinafter referred to as double feeding), etc. during transportation And the bills that were judged to be normal but were judged to be unable to be dispensed due to abnormal accumulation on the stage, and the bills that were normally dispensed but were forgotten by the customer are all rejected bill storage in the reject bill safe Stored in the department. By the way, the banknotes that the customer has forgotten are treated as surplus banknotes at the time of scrutiny because a payment transaction has already been established, and if a scrutiny disagreement occurs, the bank staff will check whether the transaction data has been forgotten from the transaction data during the scrutiny period, There was a problem that the amount of money at that time had to be investigated and a great amount of time had to be spent. An object of the present invention is to provide a banknote automatic transaction device equipped with a safe for a reject banknote that can easily distinguish surplus banknotes from other reject banknotes.

Stop at a. When the forgotten banknote is taken in, the control unit 11
As shown in FIG. 9, 0 rotates the drive gear 93 in the direction of arrow N to move the surplus bill storage unit 16 in the direction of arrow O, and returns to the home position while closing the bill pressing members 102 and 103.

Although the sensors for detecting banknotes are not shown in this embodiment, the sensors are appropriately installed in the transport path and the reject banknote safe.

Further, although the surplus banknote storage section is provided inside the reject banknote storage section, the surplus banknote storage section and the reject banknote storage section are arranged facing each other with respect to the reject banknote inlet, and the storage section switching mechanism is arranged. The excess bill storage unit or the reject bill storage unit may be selected by the unit and moved to the reject bill intake port.

[0026]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. By providing a surplus banknote storage unit and a reject banknote storage unit in the reject banknote safe, and by allowing the forgotten banknotes to be taken into the surplus banknote storage unit, it is possible to easily distinguish the surplus banknote from other reject banknotes. When a scrutiny disagreement occurs, the bank staff can easily distinguish from the transaction data during the scrutiny period whether the transaction was forgotten or not, and the amount of money at that time.

Further, even when the customer receives a forgotten notice, the forgotten bill is distinguished from other reject bills as a surplus bill, so that the customer service is improved without keeping the customer waiting. be able to.

When the surplus bill storage unit takes in the surplus bill, the bill holding unit opens and closes to take in the surplus bill, so that the surplus bill is not mixed with other reject bills.
