Coin and bill deposit and withdrawal machine

Abstract

The article to which the design relates is a semi-self-service coin and banknote deposit / withdrawal machine used mainly when a user settles an expense at a retail store or the like. In the semi-self-service coin and banknote deposit / withdrawal machine, a staff member reads the barcode of the product purchased by the user to determine the payment amount, and then the user operates the coin and banknote deposit / withdrawal machine to make the payment and receive the change. The coin and banknote deposit / withdrawal machine is used in a state where it is installed on the floor of a store or the like. For example, a staff member at a supermarket cash register reads the price of the product and transmits the total amount to a control device such as a server. The control device transmits the total amount to the coin and banknote deposit / withdrawal machine to accept the cash payment by the customer. If there is a difference between the cash inserted by the customer and the total amount of the product, the control device dispenses the change. One coin and banknote deposit / withdrawal machine is equipped with a coin processing unit and a banknote processing unit, which work together to realize the cash settlement process. Next, the role of each part will be explained with reference to a reference perspective view showing the name of each part. The coin slot located at the upper left of the front is a tray-shaped opening that is recessed downward from the top, allowing users to insert multiple coins into the coin slot at once. A backlight (not shown) is placed on the front of the tray that constitutes the coin slot, and a display panel is attached to cover the backlight. The display panel displays "Coin slot", "Please insert coins", etc. The backlight is turned on to highlight the displayed text, and the backlight is made to blink to encourage users to deposit money. The liquid crystal screen is a display means for displaying the amount of money and giving operation instructions to users, and displays error codes in the event of a malfunction. Change coins are dispensed from the coin ejection port. A backlight and display panel similar to those described above are also placed directly below the liquid crystal screen, and notify users of the dispensing of change coins. To the right of the coin ejection port, a bill insertion port and a bill ejection port are arranged in parallel in a vertical positional relationship. Users insert bills into the bill insertion port. Bills are dispensed as change from the bill ejection port. A backlight and a display panel similar to those described above are provided on the wall directly above the bill insertion slot, and provide instructions for inserting bills and notifying the dispenser of change bills.
