When the stacked action of carrying out bank note, separating stacked guide member 805 moves to by the position shown in the solid line, pressing plate 806 and bottom surface driving-belt 807 form one, and the drive source outer by not shown national treasury can move in the folding and unfolding space, along the bank note of folding and unfolding being moved control, interfere along the bank note that enters bank note and folding and unfolding of arrow 902b direction conveying so that can not follow the bank note increase of folding and unfolding away from the direction of separating stacked guide member 805.At this moment, top scrapes roller 812 and turns left, and the bottom scrapes roller 809 and turns right, and the upper and lower end parts of stacked bank note is finished in jagged peripheral part supporting, and on one side it is scraped to pressing plate 806 sides, Yi Bian keep the upright state of bank note.

Filling is reclaimed storehouse 81 and is had the structure identical with recirculating pool 80, as hereinafter described, the transaction though it is not used to deposit and withdraw,, also can be used as recirculating pool.

In Fig. 7, shown the structure example in the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61.The first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 has the identical 700a of folding and unfolding portion in structure and foregoing deposit storehouse 60 and the 700b of folding and unfolding portion that is made of the simple stacked mechanism of throw-in type 2 place independence folding and unfolding portions altogether.2 chambers before and after 2 700a of folding and unfolding portion and 700b are divided in the folding and unfolding storehouse by dividing plate 701 mutually.In addition, also can omit described dividing plate 701.When changeover valve is changed with the direction of 704a, carry from importing and exporting 702 bank note of sending into to the 700a of folding and unfolding portion, when the direction of 704b was changed, 700b carried these bank note to folding and unfolding portion at changeover valve.The 700a of folding and unfolding portion (the second folding and unfolding portion) is provided with stacked roller 714 and backing roll 715 at inlet portion, identical with the situation in deposit storehouse 60, by driving driving belt 718, make accumulate in stacked in the bank note in bank note and the bank note folding and unfolding space 716 of stacked end in the bank note folding and unfolding space 716 form one, and the left side pushes pressing plate 615 in figure.The 700b of folding and unfolding portion (the first folding and unfolding portion) is the simple pure stacked mechanism of throw-in type, and forms the structure from inserting notes here down.In addition, in order to take out the bank note in the folding and unfolding portion or to safeguard etc., the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 is provided with loam cake 650.

The gateway 702 that is provided with towards the first stacked roller 732 of classifying folding and unfolding storehouse 61 is shared gateway among 2 700a of folding and unfolding portion and the 700b.In addition, connect the drive division of folding and unfolding 700a of portion and 700b, and drive the drive division of 700a of folding and unfolding portion and 700b with gear 730 as drive source together by belt 703.Near the 700a of the folding and unfolding portion height of the aspect ratio inboard of the 700b of folding and unfolding portion inlet.

Under the situation that is provided with 2 folding and unfolding portions, in order to ensure the space that is used to be provided with the transfer passage that leads to each folding and unfolding portion, be positioned at the inboard 700a of folding and unfolding portion and compare with the 700b of folding and unfolding portion that is close to oneself, can strengthen the folding and unfolding space.Therefore, the second inboard 700a of folding and unfolding portion can be used as the more bank note of folding and unfolding treatment capacity, and first 700b of folding and unfolding portion is as the less bank note of folding and unfolding treatment capacity.

Be positioned at the inboard 700a of folding and unfolding portion adopt horizontal folding and unfolding mode with horizontal bottom 719a and the 700a of folding and unfolding portion have belt up and down, drive up-down rollers and also be pressed into bank note.On the other hand, the less 700b of folding and unfolding portion in space forms roughly コ font section configuration, and it has by the recede bottom surface 719b of θ of vertical line, inserts notes here and along these bank note of bottom surface folding and unfolding that tilt from downside.Adopt the structure of this folding and unfolding 700b of portion,,, therefore, catch the lower end of bank note can carry out stacked reliably with paper-feed roll owing to make the lower end of bank note neat by gravity even under the situation of the different bank note of stacked size.

As mentioned above, the 700b of folding and unfolding portion observes the inclination of facing upward slightly from input side.That is the bottom surface 719 of the 700b of the folding and unfolding portion setting that recedes.This is that the bank note that can suppress to drop into falls down forward owing to adopted the simple structure that only inserts notes here.If less with the tiltangle of perpendicular line opposed bottom surface 719b, then bank note is easy to fall down forward, if the pitch angle is bigger, then the space of the 700b of folding and unfolding portion is bigger, thereby folding and unfolding efficient reduces.Tiltangle is preferably 10 degree～30 degree.

Shown in the stereoscopic figure of Fig. 8, each folding and unfolding storehouse that storehouse 81 is reclaimed in the described first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, deposit storehouse 60, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70, recirculating pool 80 and filling is rectangular-shaped basket, and has common physical dimension, the gateway of the bank note of common location (except 702), common feed drive portion 730, and adopted the structure of interchangeable installation.That is, any one folding and unfolding storehouse all has with 1 gateway identical shaped, that equal height is provided with.In addition, the stacked roller 601 or the stacked roller 801 of sending into that all are provided with to common gateway of the feed drive portion in any one folding and unfolding storehouse by gear 730 drive surface that drive from external drive source.In addition, be provided with as required and cover 650, so that take out the bank note of folding and unfolding portion from the top.

In Fig. 9, shown the structure example in the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70.The second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 is to have 3 710a of place independence folding and unfolding portion that are made of the simple stacked mechanism of throw-in type, the folding and unfolding storehouse of 710b, 710c.Be positioned at the innermost folding and unfolding 710a of portion of folding and unfolding portion (the second folding and unfolding portion) for to have the box of bottom surface 719a and middle cover 719d, and become the structure of putting into bank note from the peristome 761 in upper right bight.The side direction top rake is to a certain degree on the whole for the 710a of folding and unfolding portion.On the other hand, the first folding and unfolding portion, promptly, be positioned at the 710b of folding and unfolding portion of folding and unfolding storehouse central portion and be positioned at the 710c of folding and unfolding portion near the place, gateway and all form and have, and become the structure that inserts notes here from downside by the vertical line roughly コ font section configuration of bottom surface 719b, the 719c of cant angle theta only backward.

In addition, be positioned at the innermost folding and unfolding 710a of portion of folding and unfolding portion, therefore, can add the space of wonderful works folding and unfolding portion owing to needn't transfer passage be set in folding and unfolding subordinate side.Therefore, the second inboard 710a of folding and unfolding portion can be used as the bigger bank note of folding and unfolding treatment capacity, and close self first 700b of folding and unfolding portion or 710c can be used as the less bank note of folding and unfolding treatment capacity.For example, in the 710a of folding and unfolding portion, the bank note or the calcellation bank note of the many and non-backflow kind of currencies that is unsuitable for refluxing of comparative quantities such as folding and unfolding 5 EURO or 500 EURO.On the other hand, because the calcellation bank note amount of forgetting the recovery bank note taken away or output is seldom, therefore, can be in 710b of folding and unfolding portion or 710c with its folding and unfolding.Like this, use the first folding and unfolding portion and the second folding and unfolding portion, can wholely effectively distinguish various bank note by difference.

Towards the stacked gateway 722 of sending into roller 723 settings is the independently common gateways of folding and unfolding portion, 3 places.At first changeover valve during along the conversion of the direction of 711b, to be delivered to the 710c of folding and unfolding portion by 722 bank note of sending into from the gateway, at second changeover valve during along the conversion of the direction of 712b, bank note is delivered to storage portion 710b, in addition, during along the conversion of the direction of 712a, bank note is delivered to the 710a of folding and unfolding portion at valve.

By the stacked roller 724 and the backing roll 725 of inlet portion, the bank note that is delivered to the 710c of folding and unfolding portion is dropped in the folding and unfolding 710c of portion.By the stacked roller 727 and the backing roll 728 of inlet portion, second changeover valve is dropped in the folding and unfolding 710b of portion along the direction conversion of 712b and to the bank note that the 710b of folding and unfolding portion carries.Valve, will drop in the folding and unfolding 710a of portion by the bank note that belt 730 is carried by the stacked roller 731,732 and the backing roll 733 of inlet portion along the direction conversion of 712a.

Bottom surface 719b, the 719c of the 710b of folding and unfolding portion, 710c observes the inclination of facing upward slightly from input side.That is, spend the setting that recedes with θ=10 degree～30 with respect to vertical line.By observing to recede the first folding and unfolding portion is set, can prevents that bank note from falling down forward from input side.When the horizontal folding and unfolding mode that adopts in the past as the backflow storehouse, the upper and lower settings belt in the folding and unfolding storehouse, and driving up-down rollers, thus depress bank note, tilt to prevent to fall down forward by making folding and unfolding portion.Therefore, 710b of folding and unfolding portion and 710c do not have belt up and down, so can simplified structure.Therefore, a plurality of folding and unfolding portion can be set in 1 folding and unfolding storehouse.

Below, the feature that above-mentioned deposit storehouse 60, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70, recirculating pool 80 and filling is reclaimed each folding and unfolding storehouse in the storehouse 81 describes.

Deposit storehouse 60 can be used for the multiple bank note of folding and unfolding, its folding and unfolding can not recycle currency or use during the calcellation bank note that when depositing and withdrawing, produces.

Recirculating pool 80 is different with the deposit storehouse, though the currency of handling only is a kind, and, can carry out the deposit of bank note and withdraw the money.

Filling is reclaimed storehouse 81 and is used when bank note is seated in described recirculating pool and when recirculating pool reclaims bank note.

The first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 is identical with 2 deposit storehouses 60, can handle multiple bank note, and can not be used for the currency of recycle or use during the calcellation bank note of generation when depositing and withdrawing in folding and unfolding.In addition, since different with deposit storehouse 60,2 independently folding and unfolding portions had, the folding and unfolding of can classifying can not be used for the currency of recycle or the calcellation bank note that produces etc. when depositing and withdrawing, therefore, can save the select time that deposits bank note in, improve staff's professional efficient.

As shown in figure 12, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 has 3 transfer passages (A, B, C), they are used for the control by changeover valve 711a, 711b, 712a, 712b, and 3 of bank note inputs that will flow into from public gateway 722 are independently in any one the 710a of folding and unfolding portion, 710b and the 710c respectively.Therefore, identical with the foregoing first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, multiple bank note can be handled, thereby the bank note of 3 places folding and unfolding classification can be divided into.Though as occurrence frequency less forgetting the number the recovery bank note of taking away is less, under the situation that should distinguish folding and unfolding, it is effective using these folding and unfolding portions.According to purposes, independently folding and unfolding portion of 4 or 5 can be set also.

In addition, the quantity that is arranged on the folding and unfolding portion in the folding and unfolding storehouse of treatment paper Currency Type class can be 3～5.It the reasons are as follows described.At first, the bank note of distinguishing folding and unfolding according to present situation forgets that for deposit the bank note taken away, deposit calcellation bank note, the calcellation bank note of withdrawing the money, damaged bank note, counterfeit money, unclear currency etc. are multiple.Can consider to be provided with a plurality of folding and unfolding portions so that all these bank note can be distinguished folding and unfolding in a classification folding and unfolding storehouse.But, adopted the folding and unfolding portion of the simple stacked mechanism of throw-in type must tilt 10 degree～30 degree to prevent to fall down forward, if the quantity of folding and unfolding portion is more, then can destroy its architectural feature.In addition, if the quantity of folding and unfolding portion is too much, then can produces so-called transfer passage complexity or the defective that area increases is set.On the contrary, if the negligible amounts of folding and unfolding portion, then for the less bank note kind of the amount of handling, space efficiency is low, and when the bank note kind quantity of distinguishing folding and unfolding was more, the quantity in essential folding and unfolding storehouse was more, so that the bank note of corresponding all kinds.Consider these factors, the quantity of folding and unfolding portion is preferably 3～5.

For each folding and unfolding storehouse in above deposit storehouse 60, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70, recirculating pool 80 and the filling recovery storehouse 81, though application target has nothing in common with each other, but, their profile, the gateway, drive division can be identical, by their combination, can easily realize being fit to the various application of purpose.

Below, the structure example and the action of the bill depositing/dispensing apparatus of the present invention that makes up each folding and unfolding storehouse described.

Packed action:

At first, the packed action from bank note describes.Referring to Fig. 1, in filling operation, the person in charge is not with according to each kind of currencies and fixed bank note is placed on separately in the recirculating pool 80, but bank note is placed on the foot that filling is reclaimed storehouse 81 and bank note is seated in bill depositing/dispensing apparatus 1 in batch.

Accompany therewith, by bank note transfer passage 50, in bill depositing/dispensing apparatus automatic transport bank note and with its folding and unfolding in recirculating pool 80.At first, in the filling counting operation, reclaim the bank note of storehouse 81 outputs from filling and judge kind of currencies through bank note transfer passage 50 (901d～a, 501h, 501g, 501b) and by bank note judging part 30, conversion changeover valve 503, and for the time being the bank note folding and unfolding is preserved in the storehouse 40 temporary transient.

Filling folding and unfolding action:

Then,, from temporary transient preservation storehouse 40, discharge bank note in turn, make it in opposite direction by same bank note transfer passage 50, and by every kind of kind of currencies, folding and unfolding is in the recirculating pool 80 of appointment by the filling retractable operation.The quantity of the bank note in being placed on filling recovery storehouse 81 is in batch loaded folding and unfolding and is moved greater than repeating the filling counting when temporarily preserving the quantity of folding and unfolding in the storehouse 40.

In addition, in when counting filling, along the direction conversion changeover valve 503 of diagram 503b so that the filling waste product bank note that can not judge kind of currencies by 501f and with its folding and unfolding in currency gateway 20.After all the retractable operations of filling bank note finish, with the bank note of folding and unfolding currency gateway 20 in as the folding and unfolding of calcellation bank note in depositing storehouse 60.But, the deposit storehouse 60 or the classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 of in practical operation, also preparing in addition a sky, thus can exchange with the cancel deposit storehouse 60 of bank note of folding and unfolding., after filling finishes, reclaim storehouse 81 herein, therefore, it can be removed owing to need not filling, and the last second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 that changes the outfit.

Reclaim action:

Reclaim action and be used for when recirculating pool 80 is full of, the person in charge needn't take out bank note separately from recirculating pool, reclaims the storehouse 81 in the filling of specified quantity but make bank note reclaim also folding and unfolding from recirculating pool 80 automatically.Reclaim the action of action for moving bank note by the program opposite with the filling operation.

When reclaiming, make the filling recovery storehouse 81 and the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 exchange and it is installed in the bill depositing/dispensing apparatus, and, temporarily the bank note folding and unfolding is preserved in the storehouse 40 temporary transient from recirculating pool 80, then, from temporary transient preservation storehouse 40 it being recycled to filling reclaims the storehouse 81.Reclaiming the counting action or reclaiming in the folding and unfolding action, by reclaiming the folding and unfolding action, along the direction conversion changeover valve 903 of 903b, and the calcellation bank note folding and unfolding that can not judge kind of currencies etc. is in deposit storehouse 60.Omitted detailed description thereof herein.After reclaiming end, reclaim storehouse 81 owing to need not filling, therefore, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 changes the outfit.

The action of deposit counting:

The user deposits bank note in, and in the deposit counting action before folding and unfolding is in temporary transient preservation storehouse 40, the bank note that drops into currency gateway 20 is separated one by one, and it is passed through along arrow 501a, 501b, and be delivered to bank note judging part 30, and judge the kind of bank note, the true and false herein.Along 503a conversion changeover valve 503, carry the bank note that to judge from arrow 501c to the direction of 501d, and temporarily its folding and unfolding is preserved in the storehouse 40 temporary transient.The bank note that can not judge by bank note judging part 30 or inclination or bank note each other at interval unusual deposit calcellation bank note be not placed in the temporary transient preservation storehouse 40, but change changeover valve 503 and carry these bank note along 503b, they are passed through along arrow 501f, and with their folding and unfoldings in currency gateway 20, thereby they are returned the user.

Deposit folding and unfolding action:

The storehouse is being deposited in the bank note folding and unfolding of folding and unfolding in temporary transient preservation storehouse, recirculating pool, during deposit folding and unfolding in the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse and the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse, the rotary drum 401 that makes temporary transient preservation storehouse 40 opposite direction with folding and unfolding the time is rotated, the bank note of reeling opposite order with the time with folding and unfolding, carry along opposite direction towards arrow 501d, be delivered to 501c, 501b, and by bank note judging part 30, direction conversion changeover valve 502 along the 502c shown in the figure, through 501g, 501h, 901a, direction conversion deposit storehouse 60 along the 903b shown in the figure, the changeover valve 903 of any one in the recirculating pool 80, and with the bank note folding and unfolding in the folding and unfolding storehouse of appointment.At this moment, though can judge kind of currencies, the true and false etc. once more by bank note judging part 30, and specify the folding and unfolding storehouse, the storage folding and unfolding is at the temporary transient device of preserving the judged result of the whole bank note in the storehouse 40 in the time of can being arranged on the deposit counting, and, specify the folding and unfolding storehouse according to the content of being stored.

Herein, also can replace depositing storehouse 60, and adopt the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, classify folding and unfolding in the 700b of folding and unfolding portion, non-backflow currency in good condition is stored among the 700a of folding and unfolding portion so that will be in the bad calcellation bank note that is unsuitable for the recycle state.In this way, can easily realize the management of bank note.

The transaction movement of withdrawing the money:

When withdrawing the money transaction, the bank note quantity of output regulation continuously in each currency storehouse from each currency of recirculating pool 80, and judge kind of currencies by bank note judging part 30 via arrow 901e, 901d, 901c, 901b, 901a, 501h, 501g, and by changeover valve 503 shunting bank note, with their folding and unfoldings in currency gateway 20, thereby pay the user.Take place to judge by bank note judging part 30 withdraw the money in have under the situation of calcellation bank note, identical during with the deposit counting along the conversion of the 503b shown in figure changeover valve 503, temporarily these bank note folding and unfoldings are preserved in the storehouse 40 temporary transient.Append the bank note of carrying insufficient section by recirculating pool 80.

The waste product folding and unfolding of withdrawing the money action:

When transaction of withdrawing the money produce waste product and with its folding and unfolding temporary transient when preserving in the storehouse 40, the waste product retractable operation of withdrawing the money.From temporary transient preservation storehouse 40, will withdraw the money the folding and unfolding of waste product bank note in deposit storehouse 60.Perhaps, to the waste product bank note in when deposit and the waste product bank note when withdrawing the money carry out the branch time-like, classify among the folding and unfolding storehouse 710a waste product bank note in the time of can distinguishing the managing access money by the waste product bank note folding and unfolding that will when withdrawing the money, produce second.

Forget the processing action of taking bank note away:

After withdrawing the money, when the user forgets the bank note of taking currency gateway 20 away, though it is remained in the currency gateway 20 so that device is in abnormality, thereby abort transactoin, but, in order to proceed follow-up transaction, after will forgetting that the bank note of taking away temporarily is kept at depositing and drawing port, these bank note are separated with currency gateway 20, identical with credit transaction, judge, withdraw the money waste product bank note and will forget that the bank note folding and unfolding taken away is in the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 710b so that can be different from.Equally, when carrying out forgetting the recovery of taking away for the second time, will forget that the bank note folding and unfolding of taking away is in 710c.Like this, after will forgetting that the bank note of taking away temporarily is retained in the depositing and drawing port, by with these bank note folding and unfoldings in the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse, can proceed other transaction.

Classification folding and unfolding action 1:

Carry the work that when filling, is used for the deposit storehouse 60 of the necessary sky of folding and unfolding waste product bank note owing to omitted, therefore, can use the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 and the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70, with the calcellation bank note folding and unfolding in when filling in the 700b in the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, with deposit calcellation bank note and can not be used for bank note folding and unfolding in recycle in 700a.

Classification retractable operation 2: in addition, the kind of currencies that can not be used for recycle when deposit is 2 kinds, when they are classified folding and unfolding, with the 700a in the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 and 700b folding and unfolding storehouse as the currency that can not be used for recycle, to deposit waste product bank note and withdraw the money the bank note folding and unfolding in 710a, will forget that the recovery bank note folding and unfolding of taking away is in the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 710b, 710c.

Below, the establishing method of the content of operation of the cash automated trading device of the cash deposit machine that used present embodiment is specifically described.Figure 10 is the process flow diagram of the setting of content of operation.In Fig. 1, utilize person in charge's operating portion 106c, carry out the setting of the content of operation of cash automated trading device 101 by the person in charge.If start-up operation is set, and is then initial, output steering shows (step S1).

For each folding and unfolding storehouse of installing, the selection input of person in charge by being realized by key for example, imported the kind and the kind of currencies (step S2) in deposit storehouse, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse, recirculating pool, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse, filling recovery storehouse etc.

Then, according to above-mentioned input results, judge the constraint condition that preestablishes and be stored in control part 35 or the main body control portion 106, for example, or recirculating pool (for example is set in assigned position, top folding and unfolding storehouse 1), or sets essential folding and unfolding storehouse quantity, or have enough (step S3) such as currency in operation.Then, according to having or not sensor in the folding and unfolding storehouse, or the kind in folding and unfolding storehouse judges the information of the remaining quantity detecting sensor in sensor or folding and unfolding storehouse, judges that this imposes a condition and the having or not of the folding and unfolding storehouse set in practice, consistent, remaining quantity (step S4).

According to above judged result, under situation about can operate, determine its operating conditions (step S5), under situation about can not operate, carry out person in charge's input (step S2) once more again.The structure of the kind judgement sensor in folding and unfolding storehouse should be able to be set the kind in folding and unfolding storehouse and set kind of currencies or storage part is installed in each folding and unfolding storehouse, so that can detect or read it.In addition, also can be by judging the detection that sensor produces by the kind in folding and unfolding storehouse or read automatically and determine, thus omit person in charge's input.

In case determine operating conditions, then setting has for example $ deposit in transaction display 107, and $ withdraws the money, the $ deposit, and $ withdraws the money ... the chart (step S6) that also shows possible transaction Deng display field by the operating conditions of determining.In addition, imposing a condition of determining circulated a notice of control part 35 (step S7) to bank note automatic teller machine 1 as chart-information, and end operation is set.

Usually, changing by the person in charge when setting, because the kind that imposes a condition is limited by the quantity kind mostly, therefore, carry out in advance as operator scheme 1,2,3,4 such pictorializations can be selected from these charts as if the person in charge, and then operability is good.As an example, operator scheme 1,2 is selected yen and dollar bill by transaction system in financial institution in Japan, and operator scheme 3,4 can be selected a fairly large number of Singapore of kind of currencies bank note by transaction system.

By structure recited above, can select arbitrarily or each folding and unfolding storehouse in storehouse is reclaimed in combination deposit storehouse, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse, recirculating pool, filling according to environment for use, and can carry out the selection of kind of currencies quantity, only savings function, only the Premium Features that transaction selections, recirculation function or fillings such as function, the function of depositing and withdrawing reclaim function etc. of withdrawing the money are selected.Change under the situation of these settings by the person in charge in operation, though owing between each folding and unfolding storehouse, have interchangeability, therefore, there is the possibility that bust takes place, but, it is by in each folding and unfolding storehouse and be equipped with identification testing agency's (identification part and test section) is set in the folding and unfolding installation portion in these folding and unfolding storehouses, can show, the difference of storage national treasury, the difference of kind of currencies, folding and unfolding quantity etc., and detect or read these information in each folding and unfolding storehouse of management by control part 35, therefore, can improve operability, prevent the mistake loading and unloading, and the strict control cash.An example as identification testing agency, its implementation is: the regulation position in each folding and unfolding storehouse, be equipped with the difference of having stored national treasury, kind of currencies difference, folding and unfolding quantity etc. storer and be embedded with the IC chip (identification part) of short-range communication with antenna, the transmitting-receiving that communicates with described IC chip is installed with IC chip (test section) at a side folding and unfolding installation portion.In addition, classification folding and unfolding storehouse has the independent folding and unfolding portion more than 3 that can classify and hold, and, can guarantee the folding and unfolding portion in the saving space under the user not being forgotten the bank note taken away and situation that cash in the device mixes, handled arbitrarily, thereby conclude the business even when the bank note of taking away is forgotten in generation, still can proceed.

According to embodiments of the invention, owing to can exchange whole folding and unfoldings storehouse is installed, therefore, only exchange the folding and unfolding storehouse, set controlled condition, just can easily change mode of operation.

For example, if the situation of considering to handle Euro, then current kind of currencies is 7 kinds.The operational example that Figure 11 has shown Euro.Under the more situation of the transaction of withdrawing the money,, shown in (a) among Figure 11, can adopt the structure that 4 recirculating pools are installed can load under the situation of recycle bank note morely.In this case, the high capacity bank note that maximum can 4 kinds of kind of currencies of recycle.In addition, under the situation that deposit waste product bank note or the waste product bank note of withdrawing the money are classified, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 can be installed also or the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 replaces depositing storehouse 60.

Under the more situation of credit transaction, shown in Figure 11 (b), can increase the progression in deposit storehouse.This structure just can realize 2 recirculating pools and the exchange of deposit storehouse only by in the structure shown in Figure 11 (a) at an easy rate.In addition, in this case, deposit waste product bank note or the waste product bank note of withdrawing the money are being carried out the branch time-like, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 can be installed also or the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 replaces depositing storehouse 60.

Under the few situation of the bank note amount of access, when the waste product bank note that Classification Management is deposited and withdrawn or when Classification Management is unsuitable for the bank note of damaged coin, the counterfeit money of recycle, doubtful counterfeit money, and when forgetting the bank note of taking away, Classification Management all can adopt the structure shown in Figure 11 (c).In this case, can make the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61 or the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70 and deposit storehouse or recirculating pool exchange.In the structure example shown in Figure 11 (c),, therefore, in various purposes, can easily handle each folding and unfolding portion, thereby can form bill depositing/dispensing apparatus easy to use owing to can guarantee 4～6 independently folding and unfolding portions with top 2 grades.

In Figure 13, shown the structure example in the classification folding and unfolding storehouse 750 of another embodiment.This classification folding and unfolding storehouse 750 is the modified example in the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70, and having a 750a of folding and unfolding portion (the second folding and unfolding portion) that is positioned at innermost vertical folding and unfolding mode, 2 places that are made of the simple stacked mechanism of throw-in type are the 750b of folding and unfolding portion, 750c (the first folding and unfolding portion) independently.The box folding and unfolding 750a of portion with bottom surface 759a and middle cover 759d is vertical folding and unfolding mode, and the structure that adopts be the peristome 761 pushing bank note from upper right bight, and compresses bank note by pressing plate 753a and drive division 754 thereof.The 750a of folding and unfolding portion integral body tilts in upside mode slightly forward.On the other hand, the first folding and unfolding portion, that is, be positioned at the 750b of folding and unfolding portion of folding and unfolding storehouse central authorities and all form near the 750c of folding and unfolding portion of gateway and have, and become the structure that inserts notes here from downside by the vertical line roughly コ font section configuration of bottom surface 759b, 759c of θ that recedes.As required, the lid 650 corresponding with folding and unfolding portion is set.

Because being positioned at the innermost folding and unfolding 750a of portion of folding and unfolding portion needn't be provided with transfer passage under folding and unfolding portion, therefore can strengthen folding and unfolding portion.Thus, the inboard 750a of folding and unfolding portion can be used for the more bank note of the folding and unfolding amount of handling, and is used for the less bank note of the folding and unfolding amount of handling near self 750b of folding and unfolding portion or 750c.

Towards the stacked gateway 722 of sending into roller 723 settings is the independently common gateways of folding and unfolding portion, 3 places.When changing first changeover valve, carry the bank note of 722 inputs to the 750c of folding and unfolding portion, and when changing, then carry these bank note along the direction of second changeover valve with the direction of 751a from the gateway with the direction of 751b.Afterwards, along the direction changeover valve of 752b the time, carry bank note to folding and unfolding portion 750, and, along the direction changeover valve of 752a the time, carry bank note by belt 730, and stacked roller 731,732 and backing roll 733 by inlet portion, bank note is dropped in the 750a of folding and unfolding portion.The 750a of folding and unfolding portion is provided with drivable pressing plate 753a.When folding and unfolding, drivable pressing plate 753a is moved to the direction of compression bank note, bank note closely and to the inside is pushed at interval.That is, by drive division 754, to the direction of arrow 755a drive bank note 758a after pressing plate 753a so that its move to the position of pressing plate 753b and compress bank note 758b to middle cover 759d.Afterwards, the bank note with compression makes pressing plate 753a be back to original position 753a.Like this, become closely, can increase the folding and unfolding amount of bank note in the 750a of folding and unfolding portion by the interval that makes bank note.

On the other hand, bottom surface 750b, the 759c of the 710b of folding and unfolding portion, 710c are from the inclination of facing upward slightly shown in the input side.That is, spend the setting that recedes with θ=10 degree～30 with respect to vertical line.By the first folding and unfolding portion is tilted, can prevent that bank note from dumping forward.Therefore, in a classification folding and unfolding storehouse, 3～5 folding and unfolding portions can be set.For example, constitute a classification folding and unfolding storehouse with 3～5 folding and unfolding portions, wherein, the folding and unfolding portion in composition and classification folding and unfolding storehouse is all by the folding and unfolding portion (the second folding and unfolding portion) of 1 that is used for the more bank note of the folding and unfolding amount of handling vertical folding and unfolding mode or horizontal folding and unfolding mode and a plurality of folding and unfolding portions (the first folding and unfolding portion) formation simple in structure that is used for the less bank note of the folding and unfolding amount of handling.Perhaps, 3～5 folding and unfolding portions that constitute by the first folding and unfolding portion simple in structure that is used for the less bank note of the folding and unfolding amount of handling constitute whole folding and unfolding portion.

As mentioned above, by being reclaimed on the profile in the various folding and unfoldings storehouse in storehouse 81, gateway, the drive division, the different deposit storehouse of use 60, the first classification folding and unfolding storehouse 61, the second classification folding and unfolding storehouse 70, recirculating pool 80 and filling have interchangeability, thereby need not according to operation purposes transformation (replacing) hardware, by select to make up the folding and unfolding storehouse arbitrarily according to purpose, can carry out various operations.

Below, with reference to Figure 14, another embodiment of the setting that relates to the folding and unfolding storehouse is described.Figure 14 has shown the 1b in the bottom of the bill depositing/dispensing apparatus shown in Fig. 11 bank note mechanism, and has omitted the diagram of the 1a of top bank note mechanism.According to this example,, can reduce the incidence that bank note stops up on 3 recirculating pools 80 by classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 is set.Just, the bank note that transports from the top bank note 1a of mechanism, there is the bank note of undesirable conditions such as the bank note fracture, overlapping mobile bank note etc., waste product bank note.In general, carry the distance of these bank note long more, in conveying, be easy to more stop up.But, according to present embodiment, by near the position of the top bank note 1a of mechanism, classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 promptly is set on the top of folding and unfolding installation portion, can shorten the fed distance of bank note, the result can reduce the incidence of obstruction.In addition, the physical dimension in each recirculating pool 80 and classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 etc. all has identical structure and since be with mode same as the previously described embodiments deposit processings, the processing etc. of withdrawing the money, therefore, omitted detailed description to them.

Figure 15 has shown another example in the classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 in the draw off gear layout example shown in Figure 14.In addition, though omitted transfer passage 901 grades (for example, among Figure 13) diagram,, bank note is to carry from the lower right of figure.Though classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 is identical with the classification folding and unfolding storehouse in the above-mentioned example, has 3 folding and unfolding storehouses,, 3 folding and unfolding portions all tilt with identical direction with respect to vertical line.Therefore, compare, can more effectively use the folding and unfolding space flexibly with Figure 12,13 example.For bank note for the distribution of described 3 folding and unfolding portions, the mode of standard is, the back-note feeder 794 nearest 780a of folding and unfolding portion that separate class folding and unfolding storehouse 780 are used as the waste product bank note of withdrawing the money, with the 780b of folding and unfolding portion of central authorities bank note as doubtful counterfeit money, with the innermost folding and unfolding 780c of portion as deposit waste product and non-backflow currency.In addition, also can change and set so that will forget that the bank note folding and unfolding of taking away is in the central folding and unfolding 780b of portion, like this, can and forget that the reason of bank note folding and unfolding in the central folding and unfolding 780b of portion of taking away is with some bank note of doubtful counterfeit money: these two kinds of bank note all can't be determined to make its circulation as the bank note of financial institution.

Bill depositing/dispensing apparatus with described classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 also can be handled euro notes.As mentioned above, because the kind of currencies of euro notes is more, therefore, in 3 backflow storehouses 80 in example shown in Figure 14, do not have the euro notes of folding and unfolding all currencies, the deposit that does not enter the non-backflow in the backflow storehouse 80 is more with bank note.Therefore, hope can guarantee to widen the folding and unfolding portion of described deposit usefulness.Therefore, constitute the 780c of bosom folding and unfolding portion in the folding and unfolding storehouse 780 shown in Figure 15 in the mode with bank note folding and unfolding portion wideer than the 780b of other folding and unfolding portion, 780c, non-backflow currency of folding and unfolding and deposit waste product bank note are effective in the described folding and unfolding 780c of portion.

Under the 780a of each folding and unfolding portion, 780b, 780c, sensor 787a, 787b, 787c are set, and confirm passing through of bank note by the light and shade of these sensors.Afterwards, stacked guidance device 785a, 785b, 785c along stablizing stacked performance overlay bank note in each folding and unfolding portion.And the position (dot-and-dash line of figure) that can make each stacked guidance device 785a, 785b, 785c move to 785d, 785e, 785f is respectively located.Pressing plate 781a is near the innermost folding and unfolding 780c of portion, and moves it the approaching stacked guidance device 785c so that compress the gap of the bank note that stacks.If stacked guidance device 785c moves to the position of dot-and-dash line 785f, then can be urged with sensor 785 detections.Also can make stacked guidance device 785a, 785b move to the position of dot-and- dash line 785d, 785e respectively.By this structure, can strengthen the folding and unfolding space of bank note at least, and, be easy to take out bank note.The stacked of bank note carried by the stacked roller in each folding and unfolding portion porch, as shown in the figure, can be benchmark with the end face of bank note, makes them neat along base plate.

The light and shade that has or not bank note can pass through sensor 784a, 784b, 784c among the 780a of each folding and unfolding portion, 780b, the 780c is confirmed.If use the bank note folding and unfolding space of each folding and unfolding portion more flexibly effectively, then at the square one-tenth small space of each folding and unfolding subordinate.The transfer passage of bank note particularly, also is installed in the bottom of the 780a of folding and unfolding portion, 780b.Therefore, configuration mirror 793a, 793b near the plate of bank note front of supporting the folding and unfolding 780a of portion, 780b or reverse side are in the 780c of folding and unfolding portion, at the base plate vicinity configuration mirror 793 of supporting bank note end face.By this structure, can utilize 1 couple of sensor 784a, 784b, 784c being configured near the stacked guidance device to monitor 2 points.

Bank note 794 enters classification folding and unfolding storehouse by entering the mouth.The quantity of bank note is calculated by inlet sensor 789.788a, 788b are the solenoid that is used to change towards the whereabouts of the 780a of folding and unfolding portion, 780b, 780c, carry out OFF/ON by conversion solenoid 788a, 788b, can be at the medium minute bank note in purpose folding and unfolding storehouse.Under the situation of both equal OFF of solenoid 788a, 788b, bank note is delivered among the innermost folding and unfolding 780c of portion, under the situation that only makes solenoid 788aON, bank note is delivered to the 780a of folding and unfolding portion, under the situation that only makes solenoid 788bON, bank note is delivered to 780b.Whether 782a is the motor that transfer passage is moved, move with correct speed by transfer passage monitoring sensor 790 monitoring transfer passages.

Figure 16 has shown the 780c of folding and unfolding portion in the classification folding and unfolding storehouse 780 shown in Figure 15 in detail.The 780c of folding and unfolding portion has the folding and unfolding space wideer than the 780a of folding and unfolding portion, 780b.For folding and unfolding bank note fitly in described broad space, other folding and unfolding portion has following feature.

Folding and unfolding portion is surrounded by header board (stacked guidance device), back plate, the 1 pair of transverse slat and each piece plate of base plate, for for the structure of this place's folding and unfolding bank note, though it is identical with other folding and unfolding portion,, in the 780c of folding and unfolding portion, have the movably pressing plate 781a that is equivalent to the back plate especially.With the bank note folding and unfolding under the situation of the 780c of folding and unfolding portion, prepare as deposit, make pressing plate 781a motion, the space of guaranteeing to hold 20 bank note by CD-ROM drive motor 782b in advance.Just, can be in the interval of pressing plate 781a and stacked guidance device 783 (scope), along 20 bank note of the vertical folding and unfolding among the figure.If comparatively narrow, then can not realize stacking of bank note, on the contrary, if broad, then the bank note of folding and unfolding formerly can fall down, thus the bank note of folding and unfolding stacks after can influencing.Therefore, the rate of taking an examination is stablized stacking of bank note by the folding and unfolding space of keeping 20 bank note, thereby reduces the incidence of stopping up.

In the 780c of folding and unfolding portion, by stacked roller non-backflow bank note of folding and unfolding etc. in order.Therefore, the bank note of folding and unfolding some makes pressing plate 781a (symbol 781b direction) decline backward by CD-ROM drive motor 782b, thereby guarantees the folding and unfolding space, so that controls the bank note of continuous folding and unfolding back.Herein owing to, then can cause falling down of bank note, thereby be easy to stop up if pressing plate is descended, therefore, preferably make pressing plate drop to can 20 bank note of folding and unfolding degree.In addition, when going out bank note by bank note judging part 30 numbers, folding and unfolding is known in advance at the bank note number of the 780c of folding and unfolding portion.Therefore, also can control so that pressing plate 781a is descended according to the number of bank note.

But,, then have the possibility that will widen the folding and unfolding space between stacked guidance device and the pressing plate if the bank note number of folding and unfolding is corresponding with it nearly 50～100 the time.In this case, then can form bank note and can not rely on pressing plate and fall down, become the reason stopped up takes place.

Therefore, preferably also such as mentioned above even for example the bank note number reaches 50～100, with per 20 extent control pressing plate.

In order to increase the number of the bank note of folding and unfolding in the 780c of folding and unfolding portion, if bank note stack end, in case make pressing plate 781a (stacked guidance device 783 sides) motion forwards by CD-ROM drive motor 782b, the bank note of finishing folding and unfolding in compression with the gap that dwindles bank note after, preferably control so that pressing plate 781a rearward moves.In addition, be provided with at the rear portion of the 780c of folding and unfolding portion and detect the sensor 792 that bank note is full of,, then can detect bank note and be full of if pressing plate 781a arrives the position of 781bd.
