Banknote Pay-in Pay-out Device Sorting Conveyance Retention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Banknote pay-in/pay-out devices have complex mechanisms due to the conveyance path connecting the feed-out port and collection port, which complicates the process.
Innovation Solution
A banknote pay-in/pay-out device with a common feed-out and collection port, featuring a classification section, storage boxes, and a sorting conveyance section that temporarily retains pay-in reject banknotes without conveying them back to the pay-in/pay-out port, simplifying the conveyance path.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a separate conveyance path is provided to connect the feed-out port and collection port for returning pay-in reject banknotes to the user, then the banknote can be returned to the user, but the mechanism complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the return function for pay-in reject banknotes into the existing sorting conveyance section. Instead of providing a separate conveyance path from the collection port back to the pay-in/pay-out port section, the invention uses the sorting conveyance section to both sort normal banknotes and temporarily retain pay-in reject banknotes, eliminating the need for additional conveyance components.
Solution Approach 2:
The sorting conveyance section is designed to perform multiple functions: it sorts normal banknotes by denomination into storage boxes and simultaneously serves as a temporary retention area for pay-in reject banknotes before they are returned to the user. This multi-functionality reduces the overall device complexity while maintaining operational capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If a separate conveyance path is provided for pay-in reject banknotes, then the banknote can be returned to the user, but the device size and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the return function for pay-in reject banknotes into the existing sorting conveyance section. Instead of providing a separate conveyance path from the collection port back to the pay-in/pay-out port section, the invention uses the sorting conveyance section to both sort normal banknotes and temporarily retain pay-in reject banknotes, eliminating the need for additional conveyance components.
3Ease of operation
If pay-in reject banknotes are conveyed back to the pay-in/pay-out port section through a separate path, then the banknote can be returned to the user, but the mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the return function for pay-in reject banknotes into the existing sorting conveyance section. Instead of providing a separate conveyance path from the collection port back to the pay-in/pay-out port section, the invention uses the sorting conveyance section to both sort normal banknotes and temporarily retain pay-in reject banknotes, eliminating the need for additional conveyance components.

AI summary
An automated teller machine includes: a customer interface that receives operation relating to banknotes; a pay-in/pay-out port section that takes in banknotes from the outside and dispenses banknotes to the outside; a classification section that classifies the banknotes; a front conveyance section that conveys the banknotes between the pay-in/pay-out port section and the classification section; banknote storage boxes that are provided below the classification section, and that store normal banknotes determined to be normal by the classification section from out of the banknotes inserted into the pay-in/pay-out port section; a sorting conveyance section that is provided below the classification section, that sorts the normal banknotes into the banknote storage boxes according to denomination, and that retains a pay-in reject banknote determined to be unsuitable for pay-in by the classification section; and a rear conveyance section that conveys the banknotes between the classification section and the sorting conveyance section.
