  • Publication number: 20240273962
    Abstract: Banknote device having a take-in/discharge section driven by a first motor to feed out banknotes from a pay-in section; a first conveyance section connected to the pay-in section and driven by a second motor driven independently of the first so as to convey banknotes; a classification section for the first conveyance section, that classifies conveyed banknotes; a rearside conveyance section connected to the first conveyance section, driven by a third motor for driving independently of the first and second, to convey the banknotes; a storage box connected to the rearside conveyance section, that stores normal banknotes; and a banknote control section that, upon detecting abnormal pay-in rejects or jammed banknotes in the first conveyance section, stops driving the first motor to stop the take-in/discharge section and driving of the second motor to stop the first conveyance section, and conveys normal banknotes in the rearside conveyance section to the storage box.

  • Publication number: 20240257596
    Abstract: In a banknote pay-in/pay-out device of an automated teller machine, in movement processing, banknotes being stored in a movement origin banknote storage are conveyed to a pay-in/pay-out section, then the banknotes are recognized by a recognition section while being conveyed by a conveyance section to a temporary holding section, and normal banknotes are conveyed to the movement destination banknote storage and stored therein. Due thereto, the banknote pay-in/pay-out device is able to move the banknotes being stored in the movement origin banknote storage to the movement destination banknote storage, and, in such case, is able to recognize a denomination, level of damage, and the like, of each of the banknotes once again by performing recognition processing using the recognition section, and is able to count the total number of medium being stored once again.

  • Patent number: 9064367
    Abstract: The present invention provides a banknote deposit and withdrawal device including: a verification section that verifies banknotes inserted through a service aperture for performing a transaction of banknotes; a serial number acquisition section that acquires serial numbers of the banknotes; a control section that controls conveyance of the banknotes in the device; and a memory section that, for each of one or plural storage cassettes in which the banknotes are stored in the device, memorizes the serial numbers of banknotes stored in the storage cassette and memorizes a storage sequence of the banknotes as administration information, wherein the control section conveys a banknote to a corresponding storage cassette, on the basis of a result of verification, and records the serial number of the banknote and the storage sequence of the banknote in the storage cassette in the memory section as administration information.

  • Patent number: 8708128
    Abstract: Provided is a means whereby improvement in fund efficiency of stored paper currency of a paper currency storage vault and reduction in withdrawal processing time are effected, and whereby a count value of a number of stored sheets and an actual number of sheets are matched. An accumulation order table, which stores an accumulation order of paper currency which is stored in a paper currency storage vault (8) and serial number information of the paper currency in accumulation sequence, is stored in a storage unit of a paper currency deposit-withdrawal mechanism (1). When making a withdrawal, if the paper currency which is dispensed from the paper currency storage vault (8) is withdrawal anomaly paper currency which is differentiated with a differentiation unit (6) as a conveyance anomaly, the serial number information of the next successive paper currency of the withdrawal anomaly paper currency is detected by the differentiation unit (6).
