Here, general operations at the time of depositing and withdrawing ATMs will be described, and bill conveyance control, which is a feature of the present embodiment, will be described later.
Behavior when depositing:
When the deposit start instruction from the user is given to the touch panel 120, the main body control unit 100 opens the door of the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 250 and waits for the bill to be inserted into the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 250 (step S100). In response to an instruction from the main body control unit 100, the CPU 210 switches the switching gates 401 and 402 so that the banknote is transported from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the banknote determination unit 260, and drives the banknote transport devices 301 to 303. Is sent to the bill discriminating unit 260, the bill data is acquired from the bill discriminating unit 260, and the authenticity and face value of the bill are discriminated (step S110). CPU210 records the face value in the memory | storage part 220, when a banknote is a genuine note, switches the switching gate 403 so that a banknote may be conveyed to the banknote temporary storage 270, and drives the banknote conveying apparatuses 304 and 305. Then, the banknote is conveyed to the banknote temporary storage 270. When the bill is a fake note, the CPU 210 switches the switching gates 403 and 405 so that the bill is conveyed to the fake bill storage 272, and drives the bill conveyance devices 304, 308, and 309 to store the bill in the fake ticket storage. It is conveyed to 272 (step S120).
The main body control unit 100 displays the total amount of bills deposited on the touch panel 120 (step S130), and waits for an instruction input from the user. When the main body control unit 100 detects the input of a deposit continuation instruction from the user (step S140, Yes), the banknote handling unit 200 causes the banknote handling unit 200 to transport the banknotes to the banknote collection box 276 and the recycling box 278 (step S150). ). Specifically, the CPU 210 receives an instruction from the main body control unit 100, switches the switching gate 403 so that the banknote is transported to the banknote determination unit 260, and drives the banknote transport devices 305 and 304 to determine the banknote. It is made to convey to the part 260. CPU210 acquires the data of a banknote from a banknote discrimination | determination part, and reconfirms the face value of a banknote. Based on the face value of the banknote, the CPU 210 determines whether the banknote is to be transported to the banknote collection box 276 or the recycling boxes 278a to 278e, and switches the switching gates 402, 401, and 406 to 410. CPU210 drives the banknote conveying apparatus 303,302,312-322, and makes it convey to the conveyance destination which determined the banknote.
When the main body control unit 100 detects an input to cancel the deposit from the user (No at Step S140), the main body control unit 100 causes the banknote handling unit 200 to transport the banknote to the banknote deposit and withdrawal unit 250 (Step S160). Refund banknotes to users. Specifically, the CPU 210 receives an instruction from the main body control unit 100, switches the switching gates 403 and 404 so that the banknotes are transported to the banknote deposit and withdrawal unit 250, and drives the banknote transport devices 305 to 307 so that the banknotes are transferred. It is made to convey to the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250. FIG.
Behavior at withdrawal:
When a withdrawal instruction from the user is given to the touch panel 120 (step S200), the main body control unit 100 detects this and causes the banknote handling unit 200 to transport the banknote to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 250.
When the CPU 210 receives an instruction from the main body control unit 100, the CPU 210 determines from which recycle box 278 a to e the banknote is to be withdrawn, so that the banknote is conveyed from the predetermined recycle box 278 a to e to the banknote determination unit 260. The switching gates 406 to 410, 401, and 402 are switched. CPU210 drives banknote conveyance apparatuses 318-322, 312-316, 302, 303, and makes a banknote discrimination | determination part 260 convey, and discriminate | determines a face value (step S210). When the face value of the banknote is correct (step S220, Yes), the CPU 210 switches the switching gates 403 and 404 so that the banknote is transported to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit, and drives the banknote transport apparatuses 304, 306, and 307. The banknotes are conveyed to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 (step S230). After all the withdrawal banknotes are conveyed to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 250, the CPU 210 dispenses banknotes to the user. If the face value of the banknote is not correct (step S220, Yes), the CPU 210 switches the switching gate 403 so that the banknote is transported to the temporary banknote storage 270 and drives the banknote transport apparatuses 304 and 305. The bill is conveyed to the bill temporary storage 270. When the withdrawal to the user is completed, the main body control unit 100 causes the banknotes that have been transported to the temporary banknote storage 270 to be transported to the banknote collection store 276 and the recycle store 278 (recycle stores 278a to 278e) (step S240). . Since this operation is the same as the operation for transporting the banknotes in the temporary banknote storage 270 to the banknote collection store 276 and the recycle store 278 at the time of depositing, the description is omitted.
A description will be given of the sensor from the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the bill discriminating unit 260 as an example. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining in detail between the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 250 and the bill discriminating unit 260. In the present embodiment, a banknote transport path 350 is formed by the banknote transport apparatuses 301 to 303 between the banknote deposit and withdrawal section 250 and the banknote determination section 260, and sensors 501 to 503 are arranged along the banknote transport path 350. Yes. The sensors 501 to 503 are constituted by light emitting elements 501a to 503a and light receiving elements 501b to 503b, respectively. In the present embodiment, the sensors 501 to 503 use transmission type sensors in which the light emitting elements 501a to 503a and the light receiving elements 501b to 503b are arranged with the banknote conveyance path 350 interposed therebetween, but the light emitting elements 501a to 503a A reflective sensor in which the light receiving elements 501b to 503b are arranged on the same side of the bill conveyance path may be used. Since the value of the signal from the light receiving element changes when the bill is blocked between the light emitting element and the light receiving element, the CPU 210 reads the value of the signal from the light receiving element and detects the passage of the bill. In the present embodiment, three sensors are provided between the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 250 and the bill discriminating unit 260, but the number is not limited to three and may be different.
The banknote conveyance control in the operation at the time of deposit will be described in detail by taking the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the banknote discrimination unit 260 as an example. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining banknote transport control. When the banknotes are deposited, they are fed one by one from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the banknote transport path 350. A banknote is conveyed by the banknote conveying apparatus 301, and when the value of the signal from the sensor 501 changes when the position of the sensor 501 is reached, the CPU 210 detects that the banknote has reached the sensor 501 (step S300). CPU210 records the time t1 when the banknote arrived at the sensor 501 in the memory | storage part 220 (step S305). A banknote is conveyed ahead by the banknote conveying apparatuses 301 and 302. Since the value of the signal from the sensor 502 changes when the bill reaches the position of the sensor 502, the CPU 210 detects that the bill has reached the sensor 502 (step S310). CPU210 records the time t2 when the banknote arrived at the sensor 502 in the memory | storage part 220 (step S315).
Since the distance between the sensor 501 and the sensor 502 is stored in the storage unit 220 in advance, the CPU 210 has reached the sensor 502, the distance between the sensor 501 and the sensor 502, the time t1 when the bill has reached the sensor 501, and the sensor 502. The conveyance speed of the banknote can be obtained from the difference from time t2 (step S320). When the obtained transport speed is smaller than a predetermined value determined in advance (step S325, Yes), the CPU 210 stops the feeding of banknotes from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250, and turns the banknote transport apparatus 301 in the reverse direction. A banknote (hereinafter referred to as “backward banknote” referred to as “backward banknote”, corresponding to this, a banknote whose transport speed is slow at this time is referred to as “previous banknote”) is transferred to the banknote deposit and withdrawal unit 250. Reverse running is performed (step S330).
A banknote is conveyed ahead by the banknote conveying apparatus 302,303. When the bill reaches the position of the sensor 503, the value of the signal from the sensor 503 changes, so the CPU 210 detects that the bill has reached the sensor 503 (step S335). CPU210 records the time t3 when the banknote arrived at the sensor 503 in the memory | storage part 220 (step S340).
Since the distance between the sensor 502 and the sensor 503 is stored in advance in the storage unit 220, the CPU 210 has reached the distance between the sensor 502 and the sensor 503, the time t2 when the bill reaches the sensor 502, and the sensor 503. The conveyance speed of the banknote can be obtained from the difference from time t3 (step S345). When the calculated transport speed is smaller than a predetermined value (Yes at Step S350), the CPU 210 stops the feeding of the banknote from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 and reverses the banknote transport apparatuses 301 and 302. Rotate in the direction to cause the backward running banknote to run backward in the banknote deposit and withdrawal unit 250 (step S330).
In the above description, only the control up to the banknote discriminating unit 260 has been described, but the same applies to the period from the banknote discriminating unit 260 to the temporary banknote storage 270. CPU210 calculates | requires the conveyance speed of a banknote using the distance of two adjacent sensors, and the difference of arrival time, and when a banknote whose conveyance speed is slower than predetermined | prescribed conveyance speed is detected, The banknote conveyance apparatus between the banknote depositing / withdrawing parts 250 is rotated in the reverse direction.
Under this control, the banknotes that run backward are returned to and stored in the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250, but the conveyance of the preceding banknotes is continued. When the preceding banknote is stored in the storage destination, for example, the banknote temporary storage 270, the CPU 210 again feeds the banknote from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250, and rotates the banknote transport device in a normal direction. This is because the preceding banknotes are stored, so there is no fear of overlapping. At this time, not all the banknotes that run backward need to return to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250. Subsequent operations are the same as those described above. Further, when the preceding banknote is not stored in the banknote temporary storage 270 within a predetermined time, the CPU 210 issues a warning to a staff member of the financial institution and requests the ATM 10 to be repaired. If jamming occurs due to the overlap of banknotes, it may be difficult to repair depending on the jammed condition, but in this embodiment, the banknotes that run ahead are sent forward and the banknotes that run backward are sent backwards. There is no jamming due to overlapping. Therefore, the attendant can easily repair the ATM 10.
Confirmation of a conveyance speed is performed about all the banknotes drawn out from the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250. FIG. For example, if the CPU 210 detects that the third banknote (first banknote) being fed is slow in feeding speed, the fourth banknote (secondary banknote) that has been fed has reached. About a conveyance apparatus and the banknote conveyance apparatus by the side of the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250 rather than it, it controls so that it may rotate reversely.
In the above description, the case of transporting banknotes from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the temporary banknote storage 270 at the time of depositing is described taking the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the banknote discriminating unit 260 as an example. The same applies to the case where the banknotes are transported from the temporary banknote storage 270 to the banknote collection box 276 or the recycling box 278 for storage, and the banknotes are transported from the temporary banknote storage 270 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 for refund. Since the same description is repeated, the description is omitted. The same applies to the case where the banknote is transported from the recycle box 278 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 at the time of withdrawal. That is, when the CPU 210 detects a banknote having a low transport speed based on a signal from the sensor, the CPU 210 stops the feeding of the banknote and reverses the banknote transport apparatus on the feeding side from the banknote detected to have a low transport speed. Control to rotate.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the CPU 210 detects a banknote having a low transport speed, the CPU 210 controls the banknote transport apparatus on the feeding side to rotate in the reverse direction with respect to the detected banknote. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a jam due to the banknote to be executed and the banknote to be run backward overlapping.
A modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining transport control of ATM banknotes according to a modification. Since the configuration of the modification is the same as that of the present embodiment, the description of the configuration is omitted.
The banknotes are fed from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 to the banknote transport path 350 one by one. A banknote is conveyed by the banknote conveying apparatus 301. FIG. Since the value of the signal from the sensor 501 changes when the bill reaches the position of the sensor 501, the CPU 210 detects that the bill has reached the sensor 501 (step S400). CPU210 records the time t1 when the banknote arrived at the sensor 501 in the memory | storage part 220 (step S405).
The CPU 210 predicts the time when the banknote reaches the sensor 502 (step S410) and records it in the storage unit 220 (step S415). Since the distance between the sensor 501 and the sensor 502 is known in advance and the transport speed by the banknote transport devices 301 and 302 is known, the CPU reaches the sensor 502 when the time t1 when the banknote reaches the sensor 501 is known. The time t2a to be performed can be easily predicted.
CPU 210 waits for the banknote to reach sensor 502 (step S420). CPU210 detects that the conveyance delay of the banknote has generate | occur | produced, when time passes t2a (step S425, Yes), before a banknote reaches the sensor 502 (step S420, No) (step S430). . CPU210 stops feeding of the banknote from the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250, and makes a backward running banknote run backward to the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250 (step S435). Specifically, the CPU 210 rotates the banknote transport device 301 in the reverse direction.
When the CPU 210 detects that the bill has reached the sensor 502 (step S420, Yes), the CPU 210 records the time t2 when the bill has reached the sensor 502 in the storage unit 220 (step S440). The CPU 210 predicts the time when the banknote reaches the sensor 503 (step S445) and records it in the storage unit 220 (step S450). Since the distance between the sensor 502 and the sensor 503 is known in advance and the conveyance speed of the banknotes by the banknote conveyance apparatuses 302 and 303 is known, if the time t2 when the banknotes reach the sensor 502 is known, the CPU The time t3a to reach can be easily predicted.
CPU 210 waits for the banknote to reach sensor 503 (step S455). CPU210 detects that the conveyance delay of the banknote has generate | occur | produced, when time has passed t3a before the banknote reaches the sensor 503 (step S455, No) (step S460, Yes) (step S430). . CPU210 stops feeding of the banknote from the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250, and makes a backward running banknote run backward to the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 250 (step S435). Specifically, the CPU 210 rotates the banknote transport apparatuses 301 and 302 in the reverse direction.
When the banknote reaches the sensor 503 (step S455, Yes), the CPU 210 records the time t3 when the banknote reaches the sensor 503 in the storage unit (step S465). The time t3 is used when the CPU 210 predicts the time t4a when the bill reaches the next sensor. Since the same description is repeated thereafter, the description is omitted.
According to the modification, the CPU 210 can detect a delay in the conveyance of the banknote even before the banknote reaches the next sensor. Therefore, for example, even when the bills are extremely slow due to some cause during the transport, or even when the bills are not moved at all, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a jam due to the overlap of the bills.
In the said Example, when conveyance delay is detected about the banknote which advances ahead, CPU210 controls so that a banknote conveyance apparatus may be rotated reversely so that it may be conveyed reversely about the banknote which runs backward. However, for example, the rotation speed of the banknote transport device may be delayed so that the transport speed of the banknote to be run backward is lower than the transport speed of the banknote to be advanced.
In the above description, the banknote feeding interval is not particularly described, but the CPU 210 may cause the next banknote to be fed after the fed banknote reaches the first sensor 501. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a jam due to the overlap of banknotes until the first sensor 501 is reached. Further, the CPU 210 may control the feeding and conveyance of banknotes so that there are no two or more banknotes between adjacent sensors. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of jam due to the overlap of banknotes.
In the present embodiment, the sensor is disposed in the middle of the banknote transport apparatus, but the sensor may be disposed between the two banknote transport apparatuses. Since the conveyance speed of the banknote can be changed after the sensor, the occurrence of jam due to the overlap of banknotes can be suppressed.
In the present embodiment and the modification, only three sensors arranged between the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250 and the banknote discriminating unit 260 have been described as sensors. A plurality of sensors are provided on the banknote transport path, such as between the banknote 270, between the banknote temporary storage box 270 and the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 250, between the banknote temporary storage box and the banknote collection box 276, or the recycling box 278. Needless to say.
In the present embodiment, the preceding banknote whose transport speed has been reduced continues to be transported as it is, but the preceding banknote may be returned to the payout source. Moreover, when returning a banknote to a feeding origin, you may make it return at a conveyance speed slower than a normal conveyance speed.
