Therefore, if only the bill storage door 87 is unlocked, the loading and recovery bin 70 can access both the bill storage portion 80a and the bill storage portion 80b. Thereby, for example, compared with the conventional loading and collecting bin provided separately with a door for accessing the outer surface 70s for accessing the bill accommodating portion 80a and a door for accessing the bill accommodating portion 80b, the number of locked places and use It is possible to reduce the types of keys to be used, and to improve convenience.
Ａ４．振分け機構部の構成：
　図７は、振分け機構部の概略構成を示す説明図である。図７（ａ）は、搬送路７０ｄの紙幣を紙幣収容部８０ａに振り分けるときの振分け機構部８１の状態を例示している。図７（ｂ）は、搬送路７０ｄの紙幣を紙幣収容部８０ｂに振り分けるときの振分け機構部８１の状態を例示している。振分け機構部８１は、搬送ガイド８２と、動力伝達部材８３と、バネ８４と、ソレノイド８５と、を備えている。振分け機構部８１は、搬送路７０ｄの下方に配置されている。搬送ガイド８２は、紙幣出入口部７０ｐから搬送路７０ｄに搬送された紙幣を紙幣収容部８０ａか紙幣収容部８０ｂのいずれか一方の搬送先に振り分けるための部材であり、揺動軸８６を中心にして左方向ＬＤおよび右方向ＲＤに揺動可能となるよう固定されている。 A4. Configuration of distribution mechanism section:
FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of the distribution mechanism unit. FIG. 7A exemplifies the state of the distribution mechanism section 81 when the bills on the transport path 70d are distributed to the bill storage section 80a. FIG.7 (b) has illustrated the state of the distribution mechanism part 81 when distributing the banknote of the conveyance path 70d to the banknote accommodating part 80b. The distribution mechanism unit 81 includes a conveyance guide 82, a power transmission member 83, a spring 84, and a solenoid 85. The distribution mechanism unit 81 is disposed below the transport path 70d. The conveyance guide 82 is a member for distributing the bills conveyed from the bill inlet / outlet portion 70p to the conveyance path 70d to either one of the bill storage portion 80a and the bill storage portion 80b. It is fixed so that it can swing in the left direction LD and the right direction RD.
　動力伝達部材８３は、一方の端部が搬送ガイド８２に接続され、他方の端部がソレノイド８５に接続された棒状の部材であり、ソレノイド８５の動力を搬送ガイド８２に伝達する。バネ８４は、一方の端部が搬送ガイド８２の下方側に接続され、他方の端部が装填回収庫７０において固定された部分８４ｆに接続され、搬送ガイド８２の上方側が左方向ＬＤに揺動したときに延伸して搬送ガイド８２の下方側を左方向ＬＤに引っ張る。ソレノイド８５は、制御ユニット８０からの電気信号に応じて動力伝達部材８３を下方向ＤＤおよび上方向ＵＤに移動させる。 The power transmission member 83 is a rod-like member having one end connected to the conveyance guide 82 and the other end connected to the solenoid 85, and transmits the power of the solenoid 85 to the conveyance guide 82. One end of the spring 84 is connected to the lower side of the conveyance guide 82, and the other end is connected to the portion 84f fixed in the loading and collecting case 70, and the upper side of the conveyance guide 82 swings in the left direction LD. When the sheet is drawn, the lower side of the conveyance guide 82 is pulled in the left direction LD. The solenoid 85 moves the power transmission member 83 in the downward direction DD and the upward direction UD in response to the electrical signal from the control unit 80.
　図７（ａ）は、ソレノイド８５がＯＦＦ状態であり、動力伝達部材８３が上方向ＵＤに伸びた状態が示されている。このとき、搬送ガイド８２は、バネ８４によって右方向ＲＤに揺動した状態となっている。そのため、搬送路７０ｄに搬送された紙幣は、搬送ガイド８２に沿って搬送路７０aに進み、紙幣収容部８０aに振り分けられる。図７（ｂ）は、ソレノイド８５がＯＮ状態であり、ソレノイド８５の動作によって動力伝達部材８３が下方向ＤＤに移動する。動力伝達部材８３が下方向ＤＤに移動すると、搬送ガイド８２は、左方向ＬＤに揺動した状態となる。そのため、搬送路７０ｄに搬送された紙幣は、搬送ガイド８２に沿って搬送路７０ｂに進み、紙幣収容部８０ｂに振り分けられる。 FIG. 7A shows a state in which the solenoid 85 is in the OFF state and the power transmission member 83 extends in the upward direction UD. At this time, the conveyance guide 82 is rocked in the right direction RD by the spring 84. Therefore, the bills transported to the transport path 70d travel along the transport guide 82 to the transport path 70a and are distributed to the bill storage portion 80a. In FIG. 7B, the solenoid 85 is in the ON state, and the operation of the solenoid 85 moves the power transmission member 83 in the downward direction DD. When the power transmission member 83 moves in the downward direction DD, the conveyance guide 82 swings in the left direction LD. Therefore, the bills transported to the transport path 70d travel along the transport guide 82 to the transport path 70b, and are distributed to the bill storage portion 80b.
Ａ５．紙幣取扱装置の動作制御：
　Ａ５－１．装填処理：
　図８は、装填処理時の紙幣取扱装置の動作を示す説明図である。装填処理は、リサイクル庫７１～７４に装填すべく装填回収庫７０に収納された紙幣をリサイクル庫７１～７４に装填する処理である。本実施例では、装填回収庫７０には、複数金種の紙幣が収納されているものとする。 A5. Operation control of the bill handling device:
A5-1. Loading process:
FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the bill handling device at the time of the loading process. The loading process is a process for loading the bills stored in the loading and collecting bin 70 so as to be loaded into the recycling bins 71 to 74 into the recycling bins 71 to 74. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that bills of a plurality of denominations are stored in the loading and collecting bin 70.
　この装填処理時には、制御ユニット８０は、ゲート２５ｇを制御して、第２の双方向搬送路２０と双方向搬送路１０ｆとを接続する。このとき、搬送ガイド８２は、図７（ａ）の状態となっている。そして、制御ユニット８０は、各搬送路に設けられた搬送ローラ等を制御して、装填回収庫７０の紙幣収容部８０ａに収納された紙幣を、１枚ずつ搬送路７０ａに繰り出し、図中に矢印で示したように、搬送路７０ｄ、７０ｃ、第２の双方向搬送路２０、双方向搬送路１０ｆ、双方向搬送路１０ｅ、双方向搬送路１０ｄ、双方向搬送路１０ｃの順に搬送する。双方向搬送路１０ｃに搬送された紙幣は、紙幣識別部４０によって識別される。そして、制御ユニット８０は、紙幣識別部４０によって識別された紙幣を、双方向搬送路１０ｂ、双方向搬送路１０ａの順に搬送する。制御ユニット８０は、紙幣識別部４０による識別結果に基づいて、ゲート７２ｇ，７３ｇ，７４ｇを制御して、双方向搬送路１０ａに搬送されてきた紙幣を搬送路７２ａ～７４ａに振り分け、リサイクル庫７２～７４に金種ごとに分類して装填する。リサイクル庫７１に装填する方法については後述する。なお、上述した装填処理中に、紙幣識別部４０によって、リジェクト紙幣が発見された場合には、制御ユニット８０は、以下に説明する動作制御を行う。 At the time of the loading process, the control unit 80 controls the gate 25g to connect the second bidirectional transport path 20 and the bidirectional transport path 10f. At this time, the transport guide 82 is in the state shown in FIG. Then, the control unit 80 controls the transport rollers and the like provided in the respective transport paths to feed the banknotes stored in the bill storage portion 80a of the loading and collecting bin 70 one by one to the transport path 70a, as shown in FIG. As indicated by the arrows, the conveyance paths 70d and 70c, the second bidirectional conveyance path 20, the bidirectional conveyance path 10f, the bidirectional conveyance path 10e, the bidirectional conveyance path 10d, and the bidirectional conveyance path 10c are sequentially conveyed. The banknotes transported to the two-way transport path 10 c are identified by the banknote identification unit 40. And control unit 80 conveys the bill identified by bill identification part 40 in order of bidirectional conveyance way 10b and bidirectional conveyance way 10a. The control unit 80 controls the gates 72g, 73g, and 74g based on the identification result by the bill identification unit 40, and distributes the bills conveyed to the bidirectional conveyance path 10a to the conveyance paths 72a to 74a. Classify by denomination into ~ 74 and load. The method of loading the recycle container 71 will be described later. In addition, when a rejected banknote is discovered by the banknote identification part 40 during the loading process mentioned above, control unit 80 performs operation control demonstrated below.
　図９は、装填処理中にリジェクト紙幣が発見された場合の紙幣取扱装置の動作を示す説明図である。制御ユニット８０は、紙幣識別部４０によって、リジェクト紙幣が発見されると、装填回収庫７０の紙幣収容部８０ａから搬送路７０ａへの紙幣の繰り出しを一旦停止する。このとき、各搬送路における紙幣の搬送は継続されている。その後、搬送路７０ａ、搬送路７０ｄ、７０ｃ上、および、第２の双方向搬送路２０上に存在していた紙幣がすべて双方向搬送路１０ｆ以降に搬送されると、制御ユニット８０は、ゲート２５ｇを切り換えて、双方向搬送路１０ａと第２の双方向搬送路２０とを接続するとともに、第２の双方向搬送路２０と搬送路７０ｄ、７０ｃの紙幣の搬送方向を反転する。そして、制御ユニット８０は、搬送ガイド８２を図７（ｂ）の状態に切り換えて、リジェクト紙幣を搬送路７０ｂから紙幣収容部８０ｂに収納する。 FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the banknote handling apparatus when a rejected banknote is found during the loading process. When the rejected bill is found by the bill identifying unit 40, the control unit 80 temporarily stops the delivery of the bill from the bill storage unit 80a of the loading and collecting bin 70 to the transport path 70a. At this time, conveyance of the bill in each conveyance way is continued. Thereafter, when all the banknotes present on the transport path 70a, the transport paths 70d and 70c, and the second bidirectional transport path 20 are transported to and after the bidirectional transport path 10f, the control unit 80 controls the gate 25g is switched to connect the bidirectional conveyance path 10a and the second bidirectional conveyance path 20, and reverse the conveyance direction of the banknotes of the second bidirectional conveyance path 20 and the conveyance paths 70d and 70c. Then, the control unit 80 switches the conveyance guide 82 to the state shown in FIG. 7B, and stores the rejected banknotes from the conveyance path 70b into the banknote accommodation unit 80b.
　その後、制御ユニット８０は、リジェクト紙幣に後続して搬送される各紙幣を、紙幣識別部４０による識別結果に基づいて、リサイクル庫７１～７４、または、装填回収庫７０の紙幣収容部８０ｂに収納する。その後、制御ユニット８０は、紙幣取扱装置１０１の動作を、図８に示した動作に戻し、装填処理を継続する。制御ユニット８０は、装填回収庫７０の紙幣収容部８０ａ内のすべての紙幣、または、予め定められた所定の枚数の紙幣がリサイクル庫７１～７４に装填されると、装填処理を終了する。 After that, the control unit 80 stores each bill conveyed subsequent to the rejected bill in the recycle storage 71 to 74 or the bill storage unit 80b of the loading recovery storage 70 based on the identification result by the bill identification unit 40. Do. Thereafter, the control unit 80 returns the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 101 to the operation shown in FIG. 8 and continues the loading process. The control unit 80 ends the loading process when all the bills in the bill storage unit 80a of the loading and collecting bin 70 or a predetermined number of bills determined in advance are loaded into the recycle bins 71 to 74.
　図１０は、装填処理時の紙幣取扱装置のその他の動作を示す説明図である。紙幣取扱装置１０１は、リサイクル庫７１に対する紙幣の充填をリサイクル庫７２～７４への紙幣の充填と同様におこなうことができる。制御ユニット８０は、紙幣識別部４０による識別結果に基づいて、紙幣収容部８０ａから繰り出された紙幣をリサイクル庫７１に搬送する場合には、一時的に第２の双方向搬送路２０の搬送方向を反転させるとともに、ゲート７１ｇを制御して、第２の双方向搬送路２０と搬送路７１ａとを接続する。これにより、紙幣収容部８０ａから繰り出された搬送路１０ａ上の紙幣は、第２の双方向搬送路２０、搬送路７１ａの順に搬送され、リサイクル庫７１に充填される。その後、制御ユニット８０は、第２の双方向搬送路２０の搬送方向と、ゲート７１ｇを切り換えることにより、紙幣取扱装置１０１の動作を、図８に示した動作に戻し、装填処理を継続する。 FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing another operation of the bill handling device at the time of the loading process. The bill handling apparatus 101 can perform the filling of the bills into the recycling bin 71 in the same manner as the filling of the bills into the recycling bins 72 to 74. The control unit 80 temporarily transports the second bidirectional transport path 20 in the transport direction when transporting the banknotes fed from the banknote storage unit 80 a to the recycle storage 71 based on the identification result by the banknote identification unit 40. , And controls the gate 71g to connect the second bidirectional transport path 20 and the transport path 71a. As a result, the bills on the conveyance path 10 a drawn out from the bill storage portion 80 a are conveyed in the order of the second bidirectional conveyance path 20 and the conveyance path 71 a and filled in the recycle box 71. After that, the control unit 80 switches the operation of the bill handling apparatus 101 back to the operation shown in FIG. 8 by switching the transport direction of the second bidirectional transport path 20 and the gate 71g, and continues the loading process.
　Ａ５－２．回収処理：
　図１１は、回収処理時の紙幣取扱装置の動作を示す説明図である。回収処理は、リサイクル庫７１～７４に収納されている紙幣を装填回収庫７０に回収する処理である。本実施例では、ここでは、リサイクル庫７２からの紙幣の回収処理を説明する。 A5-2. Recovery process:
FIG. 11 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the bill handling device at the time of collection processing. The collection process is a process of collecting the banknotes stored in the recycle bins 71 to 74 into the loading and collecting bin 70. In the present embodiment, here, a process of collecting bills from the recycle storage 72 will be described.
　この回収処理時には、制御ユニット８０は、ゲート２５ｇを制御して、第２の双方向搬送路２０と双方向搬送路１０ｆとを接続する。そして、制御ユニット８０は、各搬送路に設けられた搬送ローラ等を制御して、まず、リサイクル庫７２に収納された紙幣を、１枚ずつ搬送路７２ａに繰り出し、図中に矢印で示したように、双方向搬送路１０ａ、双方向搬送路１０ｂ、双方向搬送路１０ｃの順に搬送する。双方向搬送路１０ｃに搬送された紙幣は、紙幣識別部４０によって識別される。そして、制御ユニット８０は、紙幣識別部４０によって識別された紙幣を、双方向搬送路１０ｄ、双方向搬送路１０ｅ、双方向搬送路１０ｆ、第２の双方向搬送路２０、搬送路７０ｃ、搬送路７０ｄの順に搬送する。制御ユニット８０は、紙幣識別部４０による識別結果に基づいて、振分け機構部８１を制御して、リジェクト紙幣を紙幣収容部８０ｂに、リジェクト紙幣ではない紙幣を紙幣収容部８０ａに収納する。リサイクル庫７２に収納されたすべての紙幣の回収が終了すると、制御ユニット８０は、上述した回収処理を、リサイクル庫７１、リサイクル庫７３、および、リサイクル庫７４についても同様に実行する。 At the time of the recovery process, the control unit 80 controls the gate 25g to connect the second bidirectional transport path 20 and the bidirectional transport path 10f. Then, the control unit 80 controls the transport rollers and the like provided in the respective transport paths, and first delivers the banknotes stored in the recycle storage 72 one by one to the transport path 72a, as indicated by the arrows in the figure. Thus, the bidirectional conveyance path 10a, the bidirectional conveyance path 10b, and the bidirectional conveyance path 10c are conveyed in this order. The banknotes transported to the two-way transport path 10 c are identified by the banknote identification unit 40. Then, the control unit 80 transports the bill identified by the bill validating unit 40 into the bidirectional transport path 10 d, the bidirectional transport path 10 e, the bidirectional transport path 10 f, the second bidirectional transport path 20, the transport path 70 c, Transport in the order of path 70d. The control unit 80 controls the distribution mechanism unit 81 based on the identification result by the bill identifying unit 40 to store the rejected bill in the bill accommodating unit 80b and the bill that is not a rejected bill in the bill accommodating unit 80a. When the collection of all the banknotes stored in the recycle storage 72 is completed, the control unit 80 executes the above-described collection process for the recycle storage 71, the recycle storage 73, and the recycle storage 74 in the same manner.
　以上説明した本実施例の装填回収庫７０によれば、振分け機構部８１が紙幣収納庫の内部に配置されているため、装填回収庫７０などの紙葉類収納庫の利便性の向上を図ることができる。具体的には、装填回収庫７０は、振分け機構部８１によって、２つ収納空間（紙幣収容部８０ａ、８０ｂ）に紙幣を振り分けることができるため、紙幣の装填と回収や、リジェクト紙幣とリジェクト紙幣ではない紙幣の回収等を１つの紙幣収納庫によっておこなうことができる。よって、紙幣取扱装置１０１に別途リジェクト庫を設置する必要がなくなり、紙幣取扱装置１０１に格納できる紙幣収納庫の数を増やすことができ、取り扱い金種や、紙幣の収容量を増やすことができる。 According to the loading and collecting bin 70 of the present embodiment described above, since the distribution mechanism unit 81 is disposed inside the bill storage bin, the convenience of the paper sheets storage bin such as the loading recovery bin 70 can be improved. be able to. Specifically, since the loading and recovering storage 70 can distribute the bills to the two storage spaces (the bill accommodating sections 80a and 80b) by the distribution mechanism section 81, the loading and recovery of the bills, the rejected bills and the reject bills are performed. It is possible to carry out the collection and the like of not the bill by one bill storage. Therefore, there is no need to separately install a reject storage in the bill handling apparatus 101, the number of bill storages that can be stored in the bill handling apparatus 101 can be increased, and the handling denomination and the bill storage volume can be increased.
　また、装填回収庫７０は、２つ収納空間（紙幣収容部８０ａ、８０ｂ）と外部との間で紙幣の出し入れをおこなうための開口部が紙幣出入口部７０ｐの一箇所であるため、従来の１つの収容空間を有する紙幣収納庫を設置可能な紙幣取扱装置であれば、紙幣取扱装置の内部の搬送路を変更することなく設置することができる。 Moreover, since the opening part for taking in and taking out a bill between two storage space ( bill storage part 80a, 80b) and the exterior is one place of the bill inlet-outlet part 70, the loading collection | recovery storage 70 is 1 If it is the bill handling apparatus which can install the bill storage which has two accommodation space, it can install, without changing the conveyance way inside a bill handling apparatus.
　また、装填回収庫７０は、振分け機構部８１が紙幣出入口部７０ｐではなく装填回収庫７０の内部に配置されているため、ジャムなどの問題の発生を抑制することができる。具体的には、装填回収庫７０を流通する紙幣は、紙幣取扱装置１０１との接続部である紙幣出入口部７０ｐや、振分け機構部８１の付近でジャムが発生しやすい。そのため、紙幣出入口部７０ｐと振分け機構部８１は、できるだけ異なる位置に設ける方が好ましい。本実施例の紙幣収納庫７０は、振分け機構部８１が装填回収庫７０の内部に配置されているため、ジャムなどの問題の発生を抑制することができる。 Further, in the loading and collecting bin 70, since the distribution mechanism unit 81 is disposed not in the bill inlet / outlet part 70p but in the inside of the loading and collecting bin 70, the occurrence of problems such as jamming can be suppressed. Specifically, in the banknotes flowing through the loading and collecting bin 70, jamming tends to occur near the bill inlet / outlet portion 70p which is a connection portion with the bill handling apparatus 101 and the distribution mechanism portion 81. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the bill inlet / outlet portion 70p and the sorting mechanism portion 81 in different positions as much as possible. In the bill storage case 70 of the present embodiment, since the distribution mechanism unit 81 is disposed inside the loading and recovery case 70, the occurrence of problems such as jamming can be suppressed.
　また、装填回収庫７０は、振分け機構部８１が２つ収納空間（紙幣収容部８０ａ、８０ｂ）の間の上方に配置されているため、上部機構部７０ｕの内部空間（実装空間）を効率的に使用することができる。具体的には、上部機構部７０ｕには、振分け機構部８１のほかに集積繰出し機構部９０が配置されている。集積繰出し機構部９０は、一般的に紙幣収容部８０ａの上部に配置される。そのため、振分け機構部８１を紙幣収容部８０ａと紙幣収容部８０ｂとの間に配置することによって、上部機構部７０ｕの内部の不要な空間を少なくすることができ、上部機構部７０ｕを小型化することができる。上部機構部７０ｕを小型化することによって、下部収容部７０ｅを相対的に大きくすることができるため、紙葉類収納庫の利便性の向上を図ることができる。 In addition, since the loading and recovery storage unit 70 is disposed above the space between the two storage spaces ( bill storage units 80a and 80b), the distribution mechanism unit 81 efficiently uses the internal space (mounting space) of the upper mechanism unit 70u. It can be used for Specifically, in the upper mechanism portion 70 u, in addition to the distribution mechanism portion 81, an accumulation feeding mechanism portion 90 is disposed. The stacking and feeding mechanism unit 90 is generally disposed on the top of the bill storage unit 80a. Therefore, by arranging the distribution mechanism unit 81 between the bill accommodating unit 80a and the bill accommodating unit 80b, unnecessary space inside the upper mechanism unit 70u can be reduced, and the upper mechanism unit 70u can be miniaturized. be able to. By miniaturizing the upper mechanism portion 70u, the lower accommodation portion 70e can be made relatively large, so that the convenience of the paper sheet storage can be improved.
　また、装填回収庫７０は、集積繰出し機構部９０が振分け機構部８１の反対側に配置されているため、上部機構部７０ｕの内部空間（実装空間）を効率的に使用することができる。図５にも示す通り、集積繰出し機構部９０は、ピックアップローラ４２、フィードローラ４１などローラ類が多数存在しており、上部機構部７０ｕの内部空間は制約が大きい。集積繰出し機構部９０を振分け機構部８１の反対側に配置することによって、集積繰出し機構部９０と振分け機構部８１を水平方向に並べて配置することができ、上部機構部７０ｕを小型化することができる。 Further, in the loading and recovery storage 70, since the stacking and feeding mechanism unit 90 is disposed on the opposite side of the distribution mechanism unit 81, the internal space (mounting space) of the upper mechanism unit 70u can be efficiently used. As also shown in FIG. 5, in the stacking and feeding mechanism portion 90, a large number of rollers such as the pickup roller 42 and the feed roller 41 are present, and the internal space of the upper mechanism portion 70u is largely restricted. By arranging the stacking and feeding mechanism unit 90 on the opposite side of the distribution mechanism unit 81, the stacking and feeding mechanism unit 90 and the distribution mechanism unit 81 can be arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the upper mechanism unit 70u can be miniaturized. it can.
　また、装填回収庫７０は、２つの紙葉類収容部が互いに隣接し、水平方向に並ぶように配置されているため、紙葉類収納庫の内部空間を効率的に使用することができる。すなわち、２つの紙葉類収容部が互いに隣接しているため、２つの紙葉類収容部の間に不要な空間が少なく、紙葉類収容部を広くすることができる。また、２つの紙葉類収容部が水平方向に並んでいるため、２つの紙葉類収容部を上下方向に並べた場合（特開２０１１－１４５７８２号公報）に比べて、紙幣を上下方向に多く積層することができる。また、２つの紙葉類収容部を上下方向に並べた場合よりも、内部の搬送路を短くすることができるため、装填回収庫７０の内部空間を効率的に使用することができる。 Further, since the two paper sheets storage units are adjacent to each other and arranged in the horizontal direction, the loading and collecting storage 70 can efficiently use the internal space of the paper sheets storage. That is, since the two sheet accommodating units are adjacent to each other, an unnecessary space is small between the two sheet accommodating units, and the sheet accommodating units can be widened. In addition, since the two paper sheet storage units are arranged in the horizontal direction, the bills are vertically arranged as compared to the case where the two paper sheet storage units are arranged in the vertical direction (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2011-145782). Many can be stacked. Further, since the internal conveyance path can be made shorter than in the case where the two paper sheet storage units are arranged in the vertical direction, the internal space of the loading and collecting storage 70 can be efficiently used.
Ｂ．第２実施例：
　図１２は、第２実施例における装填回収庫の概略構成を示す説明図である。図１２は、第１実施例の図５と対応している。第１実施例の装填回収庫７０は、１つの双方向搬送路（搬送路７０ａ）と、１つの単方向搬送路（搬送路７０ｂ）を備えているが、第２実施例の装填回収庫７０ｘは、２つの双方向搬送路を備えている。第２実施例の装填回収庫７０ｘを適用可能な紙幣取扱装置１０１の構成や、現金自動取引装置１００の構成については、第１実施例と同様のため説明を省略する。 B. Second embodiment:
FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of a loading and collecting bin in the second embodiment. FIG. 12 corresponds to FIG. 5 of the first embodiment. The loading and recovery storage 70 of the first embodiment includes one bidirectional transport path (transporting path 70a) and one unidirectional transport path (transporting path 70b). However, the loading and recovery storage 70x of the second embodiment Has two bi-directional transport paths. The configuration of the bill handling apparatus 101 to which the loading and recovery bin 70x of the second embodiment can be applied and the configuration of the automated teller machine 100 are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.
　装填回収庫７０ｘは、２つの搬送路７０ａ、７０ｂｘと、２つの紙幣収容部８０ａ、８０ｂｘと、を内部に備えている。搬送路７０ａと紙幣収容部８０ａの構成は、第１実施例の搬送路７０ａと紙幣収容部８０ａと同様のため説明を省略する。搬送路７０ａと同様に、搬送路７０ｂｘには、複数の搬送路駆動ローラ４９ａと、複数の搬送路ピンチローラ４９ｂと、集積繰出し機構部９０ｘと、が配置され、紙幣を双方向に搬送可能に構成されている。また、紙幣収容部８０ｂｘは、紙幣収容部８０ａと同様に、昇降板４７ｘを備え、紙幣を上下方向に積層させて集積する。紙幣収納庫扉８７ｘは、第１実施例の紙幣収納庫扉８７と同様に、外装扉８８ｂと、紙幣収容部８０ｂｘと、仕切扉８８ａとを含んで構成されている。 The loading and collecting bin 70x internally includes two transport paths 70a and 70bx and two bill storage units 80a and 80bx. The configurations of the transport path 70a and the bill storage portion 80a are the same as those of the transport path 70a and the bill storage portion 80a of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. Similar to the transport path 70a, in the transport path 70bx, a plurality of transport path drive rollers 49a, a plurality of transport path pinch rollers 49b, and an accumulation feeding mechanism portion 90x are disposed, and bills can be transported bidirectionally. It is configured. Further, the bill accommodating portion 80bx includes the elevating plate 47x similarly to the bill accommodating portion 80a and stacks bills by stacking the bills in the vertical direction. Similar to the bill storage door 87 of the first embodiment, the bill storage door 87x is configured to include an exterior door 88b, a bill storage portion 80bx, and a partition door 88a.
