Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'alimentation automatique des distributeurs de billets et automates bancaires notamment, désignés ci-après DAB.The present invention relates to a device for the automatic feeding of cash dispensers and ATMs in particular, hereinafter referred to as ATMs.

Actuellement, le chargement des DAB s'effectue manuellement par des opérateurs appelés DABistes qui manipulent les billets pour recharger les distributeurs après le passage des convoyeurs de fonds. Il en découle un délai supplémentaire de mise à disposition effective des fonds au public, une rigidité par rapport aux commandes des clients, des risques de détournement illicite et de collusion entre opérateurs, un manque de traçabilité et une rupture de la chaîne logistique d'approvisionnement des DAB. Par ailleurs, le transport piétonnier de sacs, de valises ou de contenants met en danger les transporteurs de fonds et les DABistes par incitation de vol des fonds transportés souvent avec violence, et représente une tâche dangereuse rendue pénible et malaisée notamment par le poids et les dimensions de ces contenants servant au transport des billets ou valeurs.Currently, the loading of the DABs is done manually by operators called DABistes who handle the tickets to reload the distributors after the passage of the conveyors of funds. This results in an additional period of effective availability of funds to the public, rigidity in relation to customer orders, risks of misappropriation and collusion between operators, a lack of traceability and a breakdown in the supply chain. ATMs. In addition, the pedestrian transport of bags, suitcases or containers endangers fund transporters and ATMs by inciting the theft of funds often transported with violence, and represents a dangerous task made difficult and difficult especially by the weight and dimensions of these containers used to transport bills or securities.

L'invention a plus particulièrement pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients grâce à un dispositif qui permet :

  • un chargement automatique de billets ou valeurs qui garantit l'inaccessibilité intégrale à ces billets ou valeurs et supprime la fonction manuelle de chargement des DAB par le DABiste,
  • une manutention robotisée ou aidée qui supprime la pénibilité et le parcours piétonnier en version robotisée,
  • une gestion informatisée qui assure la traçabilité, et
  • une association avec un système de neutralisation/destruction qui garantit la sécurité des billets et valeurs en cas de tentative de vol.
The object of the invention is more particularly to remedy these drawbacks by means of a device that allows:
  • an automatic loading of notes or values which guarantees the complete inaccessibility to these notes or values and eliminates the manual function of loading ATMs by the DABiste,
  • robotic or assisted handling which eliminates the arduousness and the pedestrian route in robotic version,
  • computerized management that ensures traceability, and
  • an association with a system of neutralization / destruction which guarantees the security of the banknotes and values in the event of attempted theft.

En vue de parvenir à ces résultats, le dispositif selon l'invention fait intervenir un véhicule de transport et de manutention manuel ou robotisé équipé de moyens permettant le stockage sélectif, le transport, l'élévation, la distribution et l'extraction de contenants servant à protéger et à déplacer les valeurs utilisées par les distributeurs (DAB).In order to achieve these results, the device according to the invention involves a manual or robotic transport and handling vehicle equipped with means for selective storage, transport, elevation, distribution and extraction of containers serving to protect and move the values used by distributors (ATMs).

Il est caractérisé en ce que:

  • Le distributeur comprend, à l'intérieur d'un site clos et protégé, un trappon débouchant en façade du distributeur grâce à un orifice refermé par un volet, un magasin récepteur situé à un niveau différent du trappon par exemple, en dessus, et une chambre de transfert accessible par le trappon et dans laquelle débouchent les compartiments du magasin récepteur.
  • Le véhicule comprend un magasin serveur destiné à recevoir des contenants ainsi qu'un élévateur équipé d'un pousseur/extracteur, ce véhicule étant dimensionné de manière à pouvoir circuler dans le trappon et s'engager au moins partiellement dans la chambre de transfert de sorte que l'élévateur puisse se déployer dans cette chambre de transfert afin de permettre l'exécution :
    • ■ d'une opération de chargement dans laquelle l'élévateur sélectionne et extrait au moins un contenant présent dans le magasin serveur, élève ou abaisse ce contenant au droit d'un compartiment approprié du magasin récepteur puis effectue le chargement de ce compartiment grâce à l'action du pousseur/extracteur, l'élévateur revenant ensuite à sa position initiale en vue d'effectuer une nouvelle opération de chargement ou pour permettre au véhicule de ressortir du trappon, et
    • ■ d'une opération de déchargement dans laquelle l'élévateur, en position déployée vers le haut ou vers le bas, extrait au moins un contenant présent dans le magasin récepteur, puis après être passé en position rétractée effectue le chargement de ce contenant dans un compartiment du magasin serveur grâce à l'action du pousseur/extracteur.
It is characterized in that:
  • The dispenser comprises, inside a closed and protected site, a trap opening on the facade of the dispenser through an orifice closed by a flap, a receiving store located at a different level trappon for example, above, and a transfer chamber accessible by the trappon and in which open the compartments of the receiving store.
  • The vehicle comprises a server magazine for receiving containers and a lift equipped with a pusher / extractor, the vehicle being dimensioned so as to be able to circulate in the trap and engage at least partially in the transfer chamber so that that the elevator can be deployed in this transfer chamber to allow the execution:
    • A loading operation in which the elevator selects and extracts at least one container present in the server magazine, raises or lowers the container to the right of an appropriate compartment of the receiving store and then performs the loading of this compartment by means of the action of the pusher / extractor, the elevator then returning to its original position to perform a new loading operation or to allow the vehicle to emerge from the trap, and
    • An unloading operation in which the elevator, in the extended position upwards or downwards, extracts at least one container present in the receiving magazine, then after having moved into the retracted position, performs the loading of this container in a server bay compartment thanks to the action of the pusher / extractor.

De manière avantageuse, les billets ou valeurs sont dans des contenants sécurisés, gérés et contrôlés par des dispositifs adaptés, en sorte que à tout moment les billets et valeurs ne sont ni manipulables directement ou indirectement, ni repérables ou détectables à la vue, et toujours protégés par contenant ou groupe de contenants.Advantageously, the notes or securities are in secure containers, managed and controlled by suitable devices, so that at any time the notes and securities are neither directly or indirectly manipulable, not detectable or detectable in view, and always protected by container or group of containers.

En cas d'agression, à tout moment du transfert et du chargement des billets et valeurs, leur neutralisation ou leur destruction s'effectue automatiquement par un système adapté qui détecte les anomalies circonstancielles et si nécessaire par une commande à distance supplémentaire actionnée par le convoyeur.In case of aggression, at any time of the transfer and the loading of the notes and values, their neutralization or their destruction is carried out automatically by an adapted system which detects the circumstantial anomalies and if necessary by an additional remote control actuated by the conveyor .

Selon un développement particulièrement intéressant, le chargement des billets ou valeurs pourra s'effectuer dans la partie inférieure des DAB dans une enceinte formant un site clos et protégé pendant toute l'opération de chargement grâce à l'obturation du trappon par un panneau résistant dénommé volet de fermeture du trappon.According to a particularly interesting development, the loading of banknotes or securities could be carried out in the lower part of the ATMs in an enclosure forming a closed and protected site during the entire loading operation by closing the trappoon with a resistant panel called shutter closing shutter.

Selon une variante, le chargement des billets ou valeurs pourra s'effectuer de la même manière dans la partie inférieure des DAB dans une enceinte formant un site clos et protégé pendant toute l'opération de chargement, disposition à laquelle s'ajoute une double obturation : celle de la partie interface visuelle et guichet dédiée au public par le volet de fermeture servant à obturer le trappon d'accès au DAB et celle de ce même accès par le panneau arrière du véhicule de transport et de manutention en position de chargement. Dans ce cas, le véhicule pourra être muni de moyens de verrouillage coopérant avec des moyens correspondant prévus dans le trappon pour effectuer un verrouillage dudit véhicule dans le trappon pendant les opérations de chargement/déchargement.According to a variant, the loading of banknotes or securities can be carried out in the same way in the lower part of the ATMs in an enclosure forming a closed and protected site during the entire loading operation, provision to which is added a double shutter : that of the visual interface part and a window dedicated to the public by the closing flap used to close the access hatch of the DAB and that of the same access by the rear panel of the transport and handling vehicle in the loading position. In this case, the vehicle may be provided with locking means cooperating with corresponding means provided in the trapple for locking said vehicle in the trap during the loading / unloading operations.

De l'ensemble du dispositif objet de l'invention, il découle un rôle facilité des convoyeurs de fonds et valeurs par la suppression du transport de charges et du parcours piétonnier, une sécurité absolue de ces convoyeurs qui dans la version robotisée restent dans leur cabine et dans la version manuelle n'ont pas de liens physiques avec les contenants (système non incitatif), une sécurité des DABistes qui n'ont plus à être présents lors du chargement/déchargement des DAB, une protection intégrale des fonds et valeurs à charger dans les DAB conséquente de la suppression des manipulations de billets ou valeurs par les convoyeurs ou comme actuellement par les DABistes, une maîtrise de toute la chaîne logistique du transport capillaire de billets et valeurs du centre fort aux agences et autres points de dessertes grâce à une gestion informatisée avec traçabilité des fonds (sans aucune possibilité d'intervention humaine susceptible d'interférer, voire de nuire à la bonne exécution du transfert de fonds), une flexibilité et une réactivité rendues meilleures par la suppression de la fonction manuelle de chargement par les DABistes et au final une optimisation de la gestion des DAB (diminution de la masse monétaire en circulation).From the whole of the device object of the invention, it follows a facilitated role of the conveyors of funds and values by the suppression of the transport of loads and the pedestrian route, an absolute security of these conveyors which in the robotic version remain in their cabin and in the manual version have no physical links with the containers (non-incentive system), a security of the DABists who no longer have to be present during the loading / unloading of the ATMs, a complete protection of the funds and values to be loaded in the DABs resulting from the elimination of the handling of notes or values by the conveyors or as currently by the DABistes, a control of the entire logistics chain of haulage of tickets and values of the strong center to the agencies and other points of services thanks to a computerized management with traceability of funds (without any possibility of human intervention likely to interfere with or even good execution of the transfer of funds), flexibility and responsiveness made better by the elimination of the manual loading function by the DABistes and finally an optimization of the ATM management (reduction of the money supply in circulation).

Un mode d'exécution de l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective schématique éclatée représentant le dispositif de l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente la variante dite à double obturation.
One embodiment of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded schematic perspective view showing the device of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents the so-called double-shutter variant.

Dans cet exemple, le dispositif comporte un véhicule de manutention 1 de type robot mobile emportant un magasin serveur 2 comportant une pluralité de compartiments dans lequel est stocké un nombre variable de contenants 3, (au nombre de quatre dans la représentation et de n en général), un élévateur chargeur de contenants 4, muni d'un pousseur/extracteur de contenants 5.In this example, the device comprises a handling vehicle 1 of the mobile robot type carrying a server magazine 2 having a plurality of compartments in which is stored a variable number of containers 3 (four in the representation and n in general). ), a container feeder 4, equipped with a container pusher / extractor 5.

Le distributeur de billet D comprend à l'intérieur d'un site clos et protégé S :

  • une chambre de transfert CT accessible de l'extérieur grâce à un trappon T (sorte de tunnel) dont l'accès est autorisé par un volet verrouillable 6,
  • au-dessus du trappon, un magasin récepteur 7 comprenant n+1 positions pour n contenants, ledit trappon T et ledit magasin récepteur 7 faisant partie intégrante du DAB. Le dispositif est géré par un système de gestion informatisée embarqué 8 interfacé avec un système central.
The ticket distributor D comprises inside a closed and protected site S:
  • a transfer chamber CT accessible from the outside thanks to a trappon T (sort of tunnel) whose access is authorized by a lockable flap 6,
  • above the trap, a receiving store 7 comprising n + 1 positions for n containers, said trap T and said receiving store 7 being an integral part of the DAB. The device is managed by an embedded computerized management system 8 interfaced with a central system.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant :
Lorsque le véhicule de manutention 1 vient en contact avec le volet de fermeture 6 du trappon T, un détecteur commande, selon des modalités de sécurité définies entre les donneurs d'ordre et les sociétés de transport de fonds, l'ouverture de celui-ci par son dégagement par le haut, suivi de l'introduction du véhicule de manutention 1 dans le trappon puis de la fermeture du volet du trappon 6 après engagement de celui-ci. Dans cette position, la partie antérieure du véhicule comprenant l'élévateur équipé de son pousseur/extracteur se trouve engagée dans la chambre de transfert tandis que la partie postérieure du véhicule se trouve dans le trappon (et obture le trappon). Cette disposition permet de constituer dès que le véhicule de manutention est en position de chargement, c'est-à-dire dans la partie inférieure du DAB sous le magasin récepteur 7, un ensemble véhicule de manutention/DAB complètement isolé de l'extérieur.The operation of the device is as follows:
When the handling vehicle 1 comes into contact with the closing flap 6 of the trap door T, a detector controls, according to security arrangements defined between the principals and the CIT companies, the opening of the latter by its clearance from above, followed by the introduction of the handling vehicle 1 in the trappon and then closing the trap door 6 after engagement thereof. In this position, the front part of the vehicle comprising the elevator equipped with its pusher / extractor is engaged in the transfer chamber while the rear part of the vehicle is in the trap (and closes the trap). This arrangement makes it possible to build as soon as the handling vehicle is in the loading position, that is to say in the lower part of the DAB under the receiving magazine 7, a handling vehicle / DAB completely isolated from the outside.

Selon la variante dite de double obturation illustrée sur la figure 2, la partie interface visuelle et guichet du DAB dédiée au public est obturée par le volet 6 fermant initialement le trappon, par son dégagement par le haut. Cette disposition en variante permet de constituer dès que le véhicule de manutention est en position de chargement, c'est-à-dire dans la partie inférieure du DAB sous le magasin récepteur 7, un ensemble véhicule de manutention/DAB complètement clos par le panneau arrière du véhicule de manutention qui obture complètement l'ouverture du trappon, mais également ferme l'accès à l'interface dédiée au public pendant l'opération de chargement.
A cette phase de positionnement du véhicule de manutention, les opérations de chargement qui suivent s'opèrent donc dans les deux cas en site clos et protégé.
Les contenants dans lesquels sont disposés les billet ou valeurs, stockés préalablement dans le magasin serveur 2 du véhicule de manutention vont pouvoir être chargés un à un par l'intermédiaire de l'élévateur/chargeur. Celui-ci pourra, par exemple, utiliser des bras télescopiques, des ciseaux ou des techniques équivalentes d'élévation ou de descente 4 permettant d'amener les contenants en face des compartiments du magasin récepteur 7.
Un pousseur/extracteur de contenants 5 associé à l'élévateur/chargeur 4 assure l'extraction des contenants logés dans les compartiments du magasin serveur 2 et leur introduction dans les compartiments du magasin récepteur 7.
Pour évacuer les contenants vides ou en partie vides contenus dans ce magasin récepteur en vue d'y mettre les pleins, un principe d'échange selon le jeu de taquin obtenu par un nombre de positions du magasin récepteur de n+1 positions de celles du magasin serveur 2 est appliqué. L'échange contenants vides ou en partie vides par des contenants pleins s'opère automatiquement selon un programme préétabli, géré informatiquement pour permettre une traçabilité complète des billets ou valeurs chargés dans le DAB et de celles déchargées dans le véhicule de manutention.According to the so-called double-shutter variant illustrated in FIG. 2, the visual interface portion and ATM window dedicated to the public is closed by the flap 6 initially closing the trap, by its clearance from above. This alternative arrangement makes it possible to constitute as soon as the handling vehicle is in the loading position, that is to say in the lower part of the DAB under the receiving magazine 7, a handling vehicle / DAB completely closed by the panel rear of the handling vehicle that completely closes the opening of the trapple, but also closes the access to the interface dedicated to the public during the loading operation.
In this phase of positioning of the handling vehicle, the following loading operations are therefore in both cases in a closed and protected site.
The containers in which are arranged the tickets or values previously stored in the server magazine 2 of the handling vehicle will be able to be loaded one by one via the elevator / charger. It may, for example, use telescopic arms, scissors or equivalent techniques of raising or lowering 4 to bring the containers in front of the compartments of the receiving store 7.
A container pusher / extractor 5 associated with the elevator / loader 4 extracts the containers housed in the compartments of the server magazine 2 and their introduction into the compartments of the receiving magazine 7.
To evacuate the empty or partly empty containers contained in this receiving store in order to put the full, a principle of exchange according to the game of teasing obtained by a number of positions of the receiving store of n + 1 positions of those of the server store 2 is applied. The empty or partially empty containers are automatically exchanged according to a pre-established program, managed by computer to allow complete traceability of the tickets or values loaded into the ATM and those unloaded in the handling vehicle.

Selon une autre variante non illustrée, le chargement de contenants par groupe de 2, 3, x, dans des conteneurs de contenants est intégrable au dispositif, le principe d'échange selon le jeu de taquin étant obtenu par un nombre de positions du magasin récepteur de 2+2, 3+ 3, x+x positions.According to another variant not illustrated, the loading of containers in groups of 2, 3, x, into container containers is integrable with the device, the principle of exchange according to the game of teasing being obtained by a number of positions of the receiving store. of 2 + 2, 3+ 3, x + x positions.

Cette autre variante qui autorise moins de flexibilité au système puisqu'il oblige l'échange systématique d'un groupe de contenants, les billets ou valeurs, contenus étant venu à épuisement partiel, total ou nul, apporte en contrepartie l'avantage d'un temps réduit de chargement/déchargement.This other variant that allows less flexibility to the system since it requires the systematic exchange of a group of containers, the tickets or values, content being partially depleted, total or zero, brings in return the advantage of a reduced loading / unloading time.

Un système de gestion informatique 8 pour les échanges d'informations, le contrôle des interfaces, l'enchaînement des séquences du programme et la traçabilité de billets (distribution/collecte) est embarqué à bord du véhicule et interfacé avec les systèmes centraux des organismes de transport de fonds et des banques.
La protection des billets ou valeurs est assurée par des dispositifs de neutralisation ou de destruction prévus selon les cas au niveau de chaque contenant ou par groupe de contenants, la conception de ceux-ci étant adaptée pour chacun des cas en fonction des technologies choisies, disponibles sur le marché.
Le choix est donc également possible entre la sécurisation unitaire (contenant par contenant) déjà utilisée pour le transport piétonnier à bras de contenants qui peut être intégrée dans le dispositif ou bien la sécurisation globale (par groupe de contenants) qui peut être obtenue par des protections installées dans le DAB, dans le véhicule de manutention ou bien dans des conteneurs de contenants.A computer management system 8 for the exchange of information, the control of the interfaces, the sequencing of the program sequences and the traceability of tickets (distribution / collection) is embedded in the vehicle and interfaced with the central systems of transport of funds and banks.
The protection of banknotes or securities is provided by means of neutralization or destruction devices provided for in each container or group of containers, the design of these being adapted for each case according to the technologies chosen, available on the market.
The choice is therefore also possible between the unitary security (container containing) already used for pedestrian transport with container arms that can be integrated in the device or the global security (per group of containers) that can be obtained by protections. installed in the DAB, in the handling vehicle or in containers of containers.

De manière avantageuse, le dimensionnement du dispositif d'alimentation automatique de DAB est prévu pour être compatible avec les encombrements et dimensions actuels des DAB, ce qui permet une alimentation en façade (murs de DAB) sans modification des édifices immobiliers. La conception est prévue légère et rigide pour tous les éléments de chargement, d'élévation, de descente et de stockage. Le véhicule de manutention, notamment robotisé mobile est un ensemble mécanique traditionnel, avec structure en acier, téléopéré par le convoyeur depuis sa cabine ce qui ajoute au processus déjà sécuritaire l'avantage d'être non incitatif.Advantageously, the dimensioning of the automatic feeding device of DAB is intended to be compatible with the current dimensions and dimensions of the DABs, which allows a front supply (ATM walls) without modification of real estate buildings. The design is lightweight and rigid for all loading, elevation, descent and storage elements. The handling vehicle, including mobile robotics is a traditional mechanical assembly, with steel structure, teleoperated by the conveyor from his cabin which adds to the already safe process the advantage of being uninviting.

L'invention permet l'évolution du métier du transport de fonds sur trois grands axes :

  • La sécurité des convoyeurs de fonds et des DABistes qui ne sont plus exposés aux agressions, aucun lien physique ne les reliant aux billets et valeurs transportés.
  • La suppression de la pénibilité du portage des charges et du parcours piétonnier dans la version robotisée.
  • La valorisation du métier qui fait du convoyeur, par la suppression de tâches ingrates et l'allègement de la charge de travail, un technicien du transfert de fonds, veillant au service optimum du client, d'autres tâches comme celles du contrôle du bon fonctionnement des installations par un système de test portable ou embarqué pouvant dès lors enrichir son rôle.
The invention allows the evolution of the fund transport business on three main axes:
  • The safety of money conveyors and ATMs who are no longer exposed to aggression, no physical link linking them to tickets and transported securities.
  • The removal of the arduous load carrying and the pedestrian route in the robotic version.
  • The valorization of the profession which makes the conveyor, by the suppression of ungrateful tasks and the lightening of the workload, a technician of the transfer of funds, taking care of the optimum service of the customer, other tasks like those of the control of the good operation installations by a portable or embedded test system that can enrich its role.

Une utilisation de la présente invention pour le chargement d'automates de toutes catégories faisant appel à des fonctions similaires est également possible et représente un axe de développement potentiel.A use of the present invention for loading automata of all classes using similar functions is also possible and represents a potential development axis.

En particulier, l'invention peut avantageusement s'appliquer à des automates présentant plusieurs guichets, par exemple, affectés à la distribution/collecte de billets, de monnaies et de valeurs diverses. Dans ce cas, le dispositif pourra faire intervenir un nombre de magasins récepteurs égal au nombre de type de guichets et ces magasins débouchant dans une chambre de transfert commune. La chambre de transfert sera alors conçue de manière à autoriser un déplacement du véhicule de chargement/déchargement pour pouvoir amener l'élévateur de ce véhicule en regard de chacun desdits magasins.In particular, the invention can advantageously be applied to machines having several windows, for example, assigned to the distribution / collection of notes, currencies and various values. In this case, the device can involve a number of receiving stores equal to the number of type of wickets and these shops opening into a common transfer room. The transfer chamber will then be designed to allow a movement of the loading / unloading vehicle to be able to bring the elevator of the vehicle facing each of said stores.
