Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、入金紙幣を出金紙幣として使用する循環式の紙幣入出金機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の循環式紙幣入金紙幣においては、我が国において流通する千円紙幣、５千円紙幣、万円紙幣の３金種に対応するため、機械内に上記各金種紙幣用の３個の収納部、およびこれらに付随して一時保留部と繰出し機構とがそれぞれ設けられている。
【０００３】
入金時には、入金紙幣をその識別結果に基づいて前記３種の紙幣収納部の一時保留部へ振り分けて送入し、入金承認時にはその一時保留部から紙幣収納部内へ収納し、不承認時にはその一時保留紙幣を繰出し機構により繰出して出金口へ返却するか、あるいは一時保留部を引出して一時保留部から一括返却するようになされており、また出金時には各紙幣収納部から所定の金種紙幣を繰出して出金するようになされている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで前述の万円、５千円、および千円紙幣の入出金を行う場合、一般に万円と千円は入金および出金量が多いが、５千円紙幣は入金、出金とも少い傾向がある。
【０００５】
にも拘らず従来の機械では、万円、５千円、千円の３金種紙幣の収納部が略同等に設けられており、そのうえ各収納部には、機構が複雑でコストが高い一時保留部や繰出し機構が同等に備えられていたので機構の複雑化ならびに高コスト化が避けられなかった。換言すれば、使用量および使用頻度の少い金種の収納部が経済的かつ効率的でないという問題があった。
【０００６】
また最近では、業務終了時に機械内に存在する紙幣をすべて取出して金融機関の内部にある金庫室に回収し、始業時に再度機械に装填する仕様が採られるようになっており、そのため上記金庫を１個の運搬可能な着脱カセットとする傾向にある。
【０００７】
上記のような仕様の場合、前述の３金種の紙幣用として３個の収納部の他にさらに着脱カセットとその繰出し機構を備えることになり、加えて紙幣の搬送経路も増設されることになって益々機械の複雑化ならびにコスト高を招くことになる。
【０００８】
一方、機械内に２金種（万円、千円）の収納部を設置し、取扱い量の少い金種（５千円）は出金時にリジェクト部へ回収してしまうようにして機械の簡素化と低コスト化のみを優先させた紙幣入出金機（特開平７−６２４６号公報）を提供した。
【０００９】
しかしこの紙幣入出金機では、３金種のうちの１金種（５千円紙幣）はリジェクト部へ回収してしまうので出金に使用することができず、出金に使用できるのは２金種のみとなってしまうことになるので、出金紙幣の金種が指定されるような場合、例えば５千円紙幣で５万円といった出金処理については全く対応することができず、金融機関の窓口等では実質的に使用できないのもであった。
【００１０】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、処理対象の全金種に対して入出金処理が行えるという従来と同等の機能を失うことなく、金種による使用量および使用頻度を考慮して収納部の一部を簡素化ならびに低コスト化することにより機械全体の低コスト化を図ることができる紙幣入出金機を提供することを課題とするものである。
【００１１】
上記課題を解決するため本発明は、入金口へ投入された入金紙幣を１枚ずつ繰込んで識別し、入金可能な紙幣のみを一時保留部に一時保留して入金承認指令に基づき複数の収納部へ分類収納する入金処理と、出金指令に基づき各収納部から紙幣を１枚ずつ繰出して識別し、出金可能な紙幣のみを出金口へ投出させる出金処理とを行う紙幣入出金機において、前記収納部は処理対象紙幣の金種数と同数として各収納部に各金種を設定し、これら収納部のうち所定の収納部にのみ前記一時保留部を付設して一時保留部付き収納部と一時保留部無し収納部とに形成し、入金処理時には前記一時保留部付き収納部の少なくとも一つにその収納部の設定金種と一時保留部無し収納部に設定されている金種との紙幣を収納させることにより前記一時保留部付き収納部のみを用いて入金処理を行わせ、出金処理時には前記一時保留部付き収納部から繰出された紙幣がその収納部の設定金種であるときは出金口へ出金し、一時保留部無し収納部に設定されている金種であるときは該当する一時保留部無し収納部へ収納させる制御部を具有することを特徴とする。
【００１２】
処理対象の金種が３金種である場合には、前記一時保留部付き収納部を２個、一時保留部無し収納部を１個とし、前記一時保留部付き収納部の一つへ前記一時保留部無し収納部に設定されている金種の紙幣も収納するようにすればよい。
【００１３】
また、前記一時保留部無し収納部を機体に対し着脱可能なカセットで構成し、各収納部への紙幣の初期補充時、および各収納部からの紙幣の回収時に前記カセットを用いるようにすることができる。
【００１４】

【００２１】
前記表裏反転機構部２１は、前記合流部１９と分岐部２０との間に位置して図１において反時計方向に回転駆動される羽根車２３のドラム部２３ａの周囲と反転部２４の行止り部２４ａとの距離が紙幣の搬送方向長さより若干長く形成されている。
【００２２】
前記搬送通路１７の後端に続いて紙幣Ｐが正常券か異常券かを識別する識別部２５が配設されている。
【００２３】
前記千円用の収納部４、万円用の収納部５の各一時保留部９，９の上部位置、および５千円収納部兼回収用の収納部７の上方位置にはそれぞれ同じ構造の繰出し機構２６，２６，２６が配設されている。
【００２４】
この繰出し機構２６は、キッカローラ２７と、繰出し口に近接して設けられるフィードローラ２８と、このフィードローラ２８との間で紙幣Ｐを１枚のみ通過させるゲート部を構成するゲートローラ２９とで構成され、前記フィードローラ２８の外周部外側域にはベルト３０が前記ゲートローラ２９の近傍から立ち上がるように圧接して設けられ、繰出された紙幣Ｐがフィードローラ２８とベルト３０との間から前記搬送通路１７の下部位置にこれと平行に配設された搬送路３１、およびその後端に続く搬送路３２を経て識別部２５へ向って搬送されるようになっている。これら搬送路３１，３２も正逆駆動自在とされる。

【００２９】
次に具体的な紙幣の流れについて説明する。
【００３０】
図２は入金時の紙幣Ｐの流れを太線で示したもので、入金口２に投入された紙幣Ｐは載置板１２の上昇によりその最上位の紙幣がキッカローラ１３に押しつけられ、キッカローラ１３の矢印方向への回動により繰出され、フィードローラ１４とゲートローラ１５との間を通る際に１枚に分離されて入金搬送路１６、搬送通路１７を搬送され、識別部２５へ送られてここで金種が識別される。
【００３１】
この識別部２５による識別結果が千円および５千円紙幣であれば千円用の一時保留部付き収納部４の一時保留部９内へ送り込まれ、万円紙幣であれば万円用の一時保留部付き収納部５の一時保留部９へ送入される。そして入金額の承認がなされれば一時保留板１０，１０が外側方へ移動して一時保留紙幣が各収納部４，５内に収納される。
【００３２】
図３（Ａ）〜（Ｃ）は出金の場合を示し、図３（Ａ）は万円紙幣の出金時、同（Ｂ）は千円紙幣の出金時、同（Ｃ）は５千円紙幣の出金時の紙幣の流れを太線で示している。
【００３３】
万円紙幣の出金時には、図３（Ａ）に示すようにその収納部５内の受板１１が上昇して、この受板１１上に集積されている最上位の紙幣Ｐが繰出し機構２６のキッカローラ２７に押しつけられ、このキッカローラ２７の矢印方向への回転により１枚ずつ繰出されてフィードローラ２８とゲートローラ２９との間から搬送路３１，３２を経て識別部２５へ送られ、搬送路３８，３９を通って出金口３へ出金される。裏返しの紙幣は切換片２２の切換えにより表裏反転機構部２１へ送り込まれてその反転部２４の行止り部２４ａに当ったのち羽根車２３により下端が合流部１９側へ移動され、合流部１９で再び搬送通路１７へ合流して表券となって出金口３へ送られる。
【００３４】
千円紙幣の出金時には、図３（Ｂ）に示すように千円用の収納部４から万円紙幣の場合と同様に繰出し機構２６により１枚ずつ繰出されて識別部２５へ送られる。この識別部２５で千円紙幣と識別された紙幣は前記万円紙幣と同じルートを通って出金口３へ出金され、裏返しの紙幣は表裏反転機構部２１で反転され、表券となって出金口３へ送られる。
【００３５】
上記識別部２５で５千円紙幣と識別された紙幣は区分け部３７の切換片３３の切換わりにより図３（Ｂ）に点線で示すように一時保留部無し収納部７内に直接送入され、その受板１１上に集積される。したがって、入金時に千円用の一時保留部付き収納部４に収納された千円および５千円紙幣のうちの５千円紙幣は、千円紙幣の出金時に分離されて一時保留部無し収納部７に回収され、この収納部７内には５千円紙幣のみが収納されることになる。
【００３６】
５千円紙幣の出金を要するときは、図３（Ｃ）に示すように一時保留部無し収納部７内の受板１１が上昇してその上に集積されている最上位の紙幣が繰出し機構２６のキッカローラ２７に押し当てられ、このキッカローラ２７の矢印方向への回転により１枚ずつ繰出されて搬送路３１，３２から識別部２５を通り、表券はそのまま搬送通路１７を搬送され、搬送路３８，３９を通って出金口３へ出金される。裏返しの紙幣は表裏反転機構部２１で反転されて同様に出金口３へ出金される。
【００３７】
また各金種とも識別部２５で異常券と判断された紙幣は区分け部３７の切換片３３の切換わりにより搬送路３６を通ってリジェクトボックス６へリジェクトされる。
【００３８】
このように３金種の紙幣を入出金させる場合、２つの収納部のみに一時保留部を設け、残る一つの収納部には一時保留部を設けずとも３金種の紙幣の入金と出金とを支障なく行わせることができる。
【００３９】
なお、機体１内に存在するすべての紙幣Ｐを回収するような場合には、収納部４，５内の紙幣Ｐをカセット構造の一時保留部無し収納部７へ搬送路３１，３２，１７，３８、切換片３３を通じて回収し、機体１から枠体６を引出して前記収納部７を取出し、精算所あるいは金庫等へ運搬することになる。本実施例では一時保留部無し収納部７を回収用とした場合について示したが、初期補充用に兼用するようにしてもよい。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明は、紙幣の収納部を処理対象の金種数と同数として各収納部に各金種を設定し、これら収納部のうち所定の収納部にのみ一時保留部を付設して一時保留部付き収納部と一時保留部無し収納部とに形成し、入金処理時には前記一時保留部付き収納部の少なくとも一つにその収納部の設定金種と一時保留部無し収納部に設定されている金種との紙幣を収納させることにより前記一時保留部付き収納部のみを用いて入金処理を行わせ、出金処理時には前記一時保留部付き収納部から繰出された紙幣がその収納部の設定金種であるときは出金口へ出金し、一時保留部無し収納部に設定されている金種であるときは該当する一時保留部無し収納部へ収納されるようにしたので、構造の複雑な一時保留部の設置数を削減することができ、これにより機械のコンパクト化およびコストダウンを同時に図ることができる。
【００４１】
また一時保留部無し収納部を着脱可能なカセット構造とすれば、このカセットに一時保留部がないので紙幣の収納量をそれだけ増すことができ、かつカセットの軽量化を図ることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a circulation type banknote depositing and dispensing machine that uses a deposited banknote as a withdrawal banknote.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional circulation type banknote deposit bill, in order to correspond to three denominations of thousand yen bill, 5,000 yen bill, and 10,000 yen bill circulating in Japan, three storage units for each denomination bill in the machine Along with these, a temporary holding unit and a feeding mechanism are provided.
[0003]
At the time of depositing, the deposited banknotes are sorted and sent to the temporary storage unit of the three types of banknote storage units based on the identification results, and stored in the banknote storage unit from the temporary storage unit at the time of deposit approval, and temporarily stored at the time of non-approval. The banknotes are fed out by the feeding mechanism and returned to the withdrawal port, or the temporary storage unit is pulled out and returned from the temporary storage unit at the same time. It is designed to withdraw and withdraw money.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, when depositing / withdrawing the above-mentioned 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and thousand yen bills, generally 10,000 yen and thousand yen have a large amount of deposits and withdrawals, but 5,000 yen bills tend to be small in both deposits and withdrawals. There is.
[0005]
In spite of this, the conventional machines are provided with storage units for three denominations of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen in approximately the same manner, and each storage unit has a complicated mechanism and high cost. Since the holding part and the feeding mechanism were equally provided, the complexity and cost of the mechanism could not be avoided. In other words, there is a problem that the storage unit of the denomination with a small amount of use and frequency of use is not economical and efficient.
[0006]
Recently, a specification has been adopted in which all banknotes existing in the machine are taken out at the end of work, collected in a safe room inside the financial institution, and loaded into the machine again at the start of work. It tends to be one transportable detachable cassette.
[0007]
In the case of the above specifications, in addition to the three storage units for the above-mentioned three denominations of banknotes, a detachable cassette and its feeding mechanism will be provided, and in addition, a banknote transport route will be added. As a result, the machine becomes more complicated and more expensive.
[0008]
On the other hand, a storage unit for 2 denominations (10,000 yen, 1,000 yen) is installed in the machine, and the denomination (5,000 yen) with a small handling amount is collected in the reject part at the time of withdrawal. A banknote depositing / dispensing machine (JP-A-7-6246) prioritizing only simplification and cost reduction was provided.
[0009]
However, in this banknote depositing / dispensing machine, one of the three denominations (5,000 yen banknotes) is collected to the reject part, so it cannot be used for withdrawal, and only 2 can be used for withdrawal. Since the denomination of the banknote is specified, for example, the withdrawal process of 50,000 yen for a 5,000 yen banknote cannot be handled at all. It could not be used practically at the institution's window.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention simplifies a part of the storage unit in consideration of the usage amount and the usage frequency depending on the denomination without losing the same function as the conventional one that can perform deposit / withdrawal processing for all denominations to be processed. An object of the present invention is to provide a banknote depositing / dispensing machine capable of reducing the cost of the entire machine by reducing the cost.
[0011]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention recognizes the deposited banknotes inserted into the deposit port one by one, and temporarily stores only the banknotes that can be deposited in the temporary storage unit, and stores them based on the deposit approval command. Banknote depositing / dispensing, which performs depositing processing for classifying and storing the money in a department, and dispensing processing for dispensing and identifying only one banknote from each storage section based on a withdrawal command, and throwing out only the banknotes that can be withdrawn into the dispensing outlet. In the money machine, the storage unit sets each denomination to each storage unit as the same number of denominations as the banknotes to be processed, and the temporary storage unit is temporarily attached only to a predetermined storage unit among these storage units. It is formed in a storage part with a part and a storage part without a temporary storage part, and at the time of deposit processing, at least one of the storage parts with a temporary storage part is set to a set denomination of the storage part and a storage part without a temporary storage part Temporary holding part by storing banknotes with denominations When the banknotes fed out from the storage unit with the temporary holding unit are the set denomination of the storage unit during the withdrawal process, the withdrawal process is performed. When the denomination is set in the storage unit without the holding unit, the control unit is configured to store the money in the corresponding temporary storage unit without storage unit.
[0012]
When the denominations to be processed are three denominations, two storage units with temporary storage units and one storage unit without temporary storage units are used, and the temporary storage unit is temporarily transferred to one of the storage units with temporary storage units. What is necessary is just to accommodate the banknote of the money type set to the storage part without a holding | maintenance part.
[0013]
Further, the storage unit without the temporary storage unit is configured with a cassette that can be attached to and detached from the fuselage, and the cassette is used at the time of initial replenishment of banknotes to each storage unit and at the time of collection of banknotes from each storage unit. Can do.
[0014]
