DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out device in which a general user directly deposits and withdraws cash using a card, a passbook or the like (for example, an automatic cash transaction apparatus used in financial institutions, etc.). About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine used in a financial institution or the like includes a banknote pay-in / pay-out port in which a user inserts a banknote, pays out the inserted banknote, and stores a banknote to be discharged to the user. A bill discriminating unit for discriminating bills, a bill transport path for passing bills passing through the bill discriminating unit, and a temporary storage for temporarily storing deposited bills, a deposit safe for storing deposited bills, A cash box that pays out banknotes for gold, a recycle box that stores and pays out banknotes that can be used for depositing and withdrawing, a banknote that is not stored in a safe or a recycle box, and a banknote that is paid out of a bankbox that is not withdrawn. The recycle bin that feeds bills to the recycle bin and the replenishment bin that feeds bills to be replenished to the recycle bin. Beauty, route of the bill transport path for connecting the respective units have been proposed in a variety of configurations.

For example, in the example described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-267513, there are provided two annular transport paths (8-shaped) passing through a bill validator, and one of the annular transport paths has a deposit port and a dispensing port. And a temporary storage unit, and a recycle box and a collection box are arranged in the other circular transport path.

Further, in the example described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-205694, similarly, there are two annular transport paths (8-shaped) passing through the bill validator, and one of the annular transport paths is used for depositing / dispensing. Mouth and collection / loading bill storage unit are arranged, and a recycle bin (10,000 yen and 1,000 yen bill storage unit) is provided in the other circular transport path.
And a deposit / reject storage (5,000 yen / excluded note banknote storage unit).

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] With the spread of banknote pay-in / pay-out machines, needs for smaller size, lower cost, and ease of use while securing conventional functions and performances are increasing more and more. On the other hand, with regard to banknotes to be handled, a device capable of handling not only Japanese yen banknotes but also foreign banknotes is demanded in accordance with an increase in the handling of foreign banknotes in Japan and a growing need for banknote depositing / dispensing machines outside of Japan.

In the prior art, a recycle type banknote pay-in / pay-out device that recycles received banknotes for payment is provided with a pay-in / pay-out port, a recycle box for each denomination, a bill cassette, a bill discriminator, and a bill transport path. The bill transport path has a complicated configuration that merges / branches in a branch shape around the bill discriminating section. For example, in the example described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 7-267513, the bill conveyance path passes through a bill discriminating unit (a bill discriminating device) 94 as shown in FIG.
3) a first annular banknote transport path L1 passing through the lower part of
The second passing through the banknote discriminating unit 94 and passing through the recycle box
And an annular bill transport path L2. The example described in JP-A-59-205694 also has an "eight-shaped" banknote transport path.

[0007] This type of device operates unattended at an automatic machine corner of a financial institution all day, and requires a highly reliable operation for a user's cash deposit / withdrawal transaction. In particular, in a depositing transaction, various users may mix broken or torn bills, coins or foreign matter into bills, and deposit the bills into the deposit port. Even in such a state, in the deposit transaction, from the deposit port,
The bills are fed out one by one, passed through the bill transport path, the bill type is discriminated by the bill discriminating section, and only the normal bills are taken into the temporary storage, and abnormal bills and foreign matter are output to the user as rejected bills. It works to return it from the cash mouth.

However, depending on the conveyance state, there is a considerable possibility that a jam occurs in the banknote conveyance path due to a large inclination when the banknote is fed. Furthermore, in a device that can handle foreign banknotes, the number of denominations not only increases than in Japanese yen, but the size of banknotes often differs greatly in the longitudinal and short directions depending on the denomination, and is inserted into the deposit port. There is a possibility that the alignment of the large number of banknotes is greatly disturbed.
Also, in terms of the degree of folding and torn of banknotes, there are more banknotes under bad conditions than Japanese yen when viewed from the circulation situation of banknotes in each country. Therefore, it is an important issue to reduce the bill jam in the bill transport path due to the deposit reject bill generated at the time of the deposit transaction. In the above-mentioned conventional example, the rejected banknote also passes through the banknote transport path having a complicated branch / merge, similarly to the normal banknote banknote, and there is a high possibility of the banknote jam in the banknote transport path.

[0009] That is, the bills fed from the deposit port are:
It is necessary to pass two junctions to the bill discriminating section. In addition, since the temporary holding unit is disposed on the circular path on the side of the deposit and withdrawal port, which is different from the circular path in which the recycle box and the collection box are located, the rejected banknotes determined to be rejected by the banknote discriminating unit are stored in the temporary holding unit. It is necessary to pass through a junction / junction with the branch and a junction to the outlet.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a banknote pay-in / pay-out device having a simple banknote transport path. A second object of the present invention is to provide a banknote pay-in / pay-out device that is easy for a staff member or a maintenance person to handle a safe or to operate in the event of an abnormality such as a banknote jam. The third object of the present invention is further to select one of a deposit machine handling only deposits, a dispensing machine dealing only withdrawals, a depositing / dispensing machine handling deposits and withdrawals, a selection of the number of denominations of each transaction, An object of the present invention is to provide a highly versatile banknote pay-in / pay-out device that can easily cope with selection of whether or not to recycle denominations.

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems (1) In a banknote pay-in / pay-out device having a cash slot, a banknote discriminating section, and an annular banknote transfer path, each of the banknotes is transferred from the banknote transfer path along the banknote transfer path. One or more banknote storages including a storage that can take in or feed out banknotes to the banknote transport path, and a temporary storage that temporarily stores banknotes fed from the deposit / withdrawal port,
In the arrangement arranged in this order, or (2) in a banknote pay-in / pay-out device having a banknote receiving / dispensing port and a banknote discriminating section, the only converging point of the banknote conveying path from the deposit port to the banknote discriminating section with another banknote conveying path. In addition, by providing a single branch point with another bill conveyance path in the bill conveyance path from the bill discriminating section to the dispensing port, a simple bill conveyance path configuration is enabled, and the operability at the time of abnormality is improved.

In addition, a bill discriminating section is arranged below the cash slot, and a temporary storage is arranged below the bill discriminating section.
At least a deposit safe for storing deposited bills, a dispenser for dispensing bills for withdrawal, a recycle box for storing and dispensing bills for both deposit and withdrawal, deposited bills not stored in the deposit box or the recycle box, and bills dispensed from the deposit box. One or more of the reject boxes for storing bills that are not to be dispensed and the loading / collecting boxes for feeding bills to be supplied to the recycle box or for storing bills collected from the recycle box. Mouth, the outlet, the bill discriminator,
With the configuration of being stacked and arranged at the rear of the temporary storage,
This makes it easy for staff and maintenance staff to handle the safe, and can easily handle deposits / withdrawals, selection of the number of denominations, and selection of recycling.

The banknotes that could not be discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3 or the rejected banknotes in which the inclination or the interval between the banknotes became abnormal were not taken into the temporary storage 4, but the switching gate 252 was switched and stored in the deposit / withdrawal port 2. And return it to the user. After the completion of the deposit transaction, the rotating drum 41 of the temporary storage 4
Is rotated in the opposite direction to the time of storage, and the wound banknotes are sent out to the main banknote transport path 501 in the reverse order of the time of storage.
1j, 501k, and the bill discriminating unit 3 again determines the denomination and authenticity, and the cassette unit transport path 851b,
Switching gates 852b and 852 for 851d and 851a
d, 852a is switched and stored in the safe 6, the recycle box 8, or the reject box 9.

At the time of withdrawal, the banknotes are fed out by a predetermined number of sheets from the safes for each denomination in the cashout box 7 and the recycle box 8, and are discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 via the main banknote transport path 501 through 501f to 501k. , Branched at the gate 252, stored in the deposit / withdrawal port 2, and paid to the user. When a withdrawal rejection occurs, the banknote is stored in the reject storage 9, and the shortage of the banknote is additionally fed. Further, if the user forgets to take the banknote of the deposit / withdrawal port 2,
The transaction can be stopped as it is by leaving it in the deposit / withdrawal port 2 as a device abnormality, but in order to continue the subsequent transaction,
In the present embodiment, a banknote that has been forgotten can be separated from the deposit / withdrawal port 2, discriminated in the same manner as in a deposit transaction, and stored in the reject storage 9.

In the present embodiment, the loading, collecting, and scrutinizing operations can be performed with the recycle box 8 using the loading / collecting box 11. In the loading operation, the clerk does not set the banknotes to be set for each denomination in the recycle box 8 but individually sets the banknotes in the loading / collection box 11,
This is an operation of automatically storing the information in the recycle box 8 in the apparatus. The bills fed from the loading / collecting box 11 are 501
h to 501k, the banknote discriminating unit 3 discriminates the denomination,
It is stored in the recycle box 8 via 501b to 501f. When a plurality of recycle boxes are provided and denominations are made different, the denominations are sorted for each denomination. In the bill discriminating unit 3,
Unrecognizable bills and loaded reject bills with abnormal inclinations or gaps between bills are temporarily stored in the deposit / withdrawal port 2, and after all bills have been paid out from the loading / collecting box 11,
The loaded reject bill is sent out from the deposit / withdrawal port 2 and stored in the loading / collecting box 11. Alternatively, it may be stored in the reject storage 9 as a reject banknote.

In the collection operation, when the recycle box 12 becomes full, the staff does not individually pull out the bills from the recycle box, but automatically stores a predetermined number of sheets from the recycle box 8 into the collection / collection box 11. Operation. The bills fed from the recycle box 8 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage box 4, sent out again from the temporary storage box 4 to the main banknote conveyance path 501, the number of sheets is discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3, and the loading / recovery box 11.
To be stored. When rejection occurs, the bill is stored in the reject storage 9.

In the scrutiny operation, the attendant takes out the banknotes in all the safes of the entrance safe 6, the exit safe 7, the recycle store 8, and the reject store 9 and manually counts the amount of the banknotes in the apparatus. In other words, this operation automatically counts the amount of money in the recycle box 8 in the apparatus, thereby saving labor of staff. The clerk sets the empty bill loading / recovery box 11 (which may be the same recycle box 8 in structure) in the apparatus, and performs a scrutiny operation. First, all the bills fed from the recycle box 8 are stored in the empty loading / collecting box 11, and are again fed out from the loading / collecting box 11, and the denomination unit 3 counts the denomination and the number of sheets and becomes empty. Store in the recycle box. After the operation is completed, the amount of money in the recycle box is reported from the control unit 10 to a staff member by an output unit of the device.

Here, the flow of control of the operation of the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism 1 during a deposit transaction will be described in more detail with reference to the flowchart of the deposit transaction of FIG. At the time of the deposit transaction, the guidance display (step S1) displays the deposit limit number and the like on the customer operation unit 105. For example, when the maximum number of deposits and the capacity of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 are set to 200, and the capacity of the temporary storage 4 is set to 250 in consideration of a margin, for example, “20 per one deposit”
You can trade up to zero. Next, the shutter 201 is opened by a shutter opening process (step S2), and in step S3, it is waited for a bill to be deposited in the deposit / withdrawal port 2. Is inserted, the shutter 201 is closed by a shutter closing process (step S4), and a deposit counting process (step S5) for counting the deposited bills is performed.

In step S5, the bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 2 are separated one by one and conveyed to the deposited bill discriminating section 3 through the depositing unit transport path 251a, where the bills are discriminated as to whether they are authentic or not. For the banknotes that are determined to be receivable by the deposited banknote discriminating unit 3, the main transport paths 501a to 501a.
501h is conveyed and is temporarily stored in the temporary storage 4 by controlling the switching gate 452.

If the deposited bill cannot be discriminated by the bill discriminating unit 3,
If a deposit rejection occurs due to an inclination or an abnormal interval between bills (step S6: Y), the switching gate 252 is switched and stored in the deposit / withdrawal port 2, and the user is notified that the deposit rejection is made. The guidance to be notified is displayed on the customer operation unit 105 (step S1).
7) The shutter opening process (Step S18) is performed, and after confirming that the bill is extracted in Step S19, the shutter closing process (Step S20) is performed and the rejected bill is returned to the user.

The guidance in step S17 includes, for example, “a front sheet, back XX” so that the user can know which bank note returned to the deposit / withdrawal port 2 could not be taken.
One sheet is an abnormal banknote. May be displayed. In addition, when the banknote is set in the cash slot 2 in a bad state, the carrying state is deteriorated, and the banknote is rejected, "set again." If the bill is displayed as a guidance, or if the denomination cannot be processed, the bill cannot be processed. It is also possible to display a guidance display such as "". After returning the deposit reject bill, the process returns to the guidance process of step S1 if the deposit counting process is to be accepted again in step S21, and if the deposit counting process is not accepted, the process returns to step S21. Proceed to the guidance process of S7.

If no deposit rejection occurs in step S6, a deposit counting process (step S7) is performed in step S7.
The guidance such as the number of bills counted in 5) is displayed on the customer operation unit 105. When there is a confirmation of the user who approves the deposit amount in step S8, center communication (step S9) is performed, and a deposit transaction is established, and a deposit storing process (step S10).
To complete the deposit transaction.

In the deposit storing process (step S10), when the rotating drum 401 of the temporary storage 4 is rotated in a direction opposite to the counting of the deposit, the bill wound on the rotating drum 401 is stored in the temporary storing 4 Is the main bill transport path 5 in reverse order
01j, and the denomination information and the like are discriminated again by the bill discriminating unit 3, and a safe deposit box 6, a recycling box 8, a reject box 9
Is carried out.

In step S8, the user does not select the confirmation,
If the cancellation of the deposit is selected in step S11, the push plate 203 of the deposit and withdrawal port 2 is moved and the rotary drum 4 of the temporary storage 4 is moved.
01 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the main bill transport paths 501j, 501
k, 501a, the banknote wound around the rotary drum 41 is conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal port 2 for the cancellation / return process (step S1).
Perform 2). Thereafter, the shutter opening process (step S1)
3) is performed, it is confirmed that the bill is extracted in step S14, the shutter closing process (step S15) is performed, and the deposited bill is returned to the user. If re-entry is permitted in step S16, the process returns to the guidance display of step S1, and if re-entry is not permitted, the deposit transaction is terminated.

Next, the above-described deposit counting process (step S5).
Will be described in more detail. FIG. 11 is a detailed flowchart of the deposit counting process. First, it is determined whether or not the deposit banknote is in the temporary storage 4, and if there is no deposit banknote (step S31: N), it is assumed that the first deposit is counted and the guiding tape is wound up to the initial position (step S31).
32) After resetting the counter value of the encoder (step S33), the banknote transport path 5 and the temporary storage 4 are driven (step S34). If there is a deposited banknote (step S31: Y), the banknote transport path 5 is immediately executed because the second payment count is due to the rejection of the deposited reject banknote.
And immediately drive the temporary storage 4 (step S3
4). After driving the banknote transport path 5, the deposit / withdrawal port separation process (step S35) is started, and the banknotes separated from the deposit / withdrawal port 2 are discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 (step S35).
36). When an illegal bill is discriminated, the switching gate 252 to the deposit and withdrawal port is switched to the deposit and withdrawal port side.

Before the deposit / withdrawal port separation process is completed for all bills at the deposit / withdrawal port (step S37: N),
The processes of steps S36 and S37 are repeated until the reject is full, and when the reject is full, the deposit / withdrawal port separation process is stopped in step S39 (step S39). When the deposit / withdrawal port separation processing is completed for all bills (step S37: Y), the deposit / withdrawal port separation processing is stopped (step S39). After stopping the deposit / withdrawal port separation process in step S38, the driving of the banknote transport path 5 and the temporary storage 4 is stopped (step S40).

Next, the deposit storage processing will be described. FIG. 12 shows a deposit storage process for storing acceptable banknotes (FIG. 1).
0 is a flowchart of step S10). First,
The banknote transport path 5 and the temporary storage 4 are driven (step S5).
1) All the banknotes stored in the temporary storage 4 are passed through the banknote determination unit 3 to determine the denomination of the banknotes (steps S52 and S53). The gate of each storage and reject storage is controlled according to the result of this determination. When the processing of discriminating all the bills stored in the temporary storage 5 is completed (step S53: Y), the driving of the banknote transport path 5 and the temporary storage 4 is stopped (step S54).

As described above, the bill receiving / dispensing mechanism 1 shown in the present embodiment comprises a deposit / withdrawal port 2, a deposited bill discriminating unit 3, a temporary storage 4, a bill transport path 5, a deposit safe 6, a deposit safe 7, a recycling Each unit including the storage 8, the reject storage 9, and the loading / recovery storage 11 is connected to the main bill transfer path 501 (501a to 501a).
1k), and the unit transport paths 251a, 251
b, 851a to 851e, and 451 are connected by the banknote transport path 5 to not only realize operations such as a deposit transaction and a withdrawal transaction, but also to reduce the size, simplify, and improve the reliability of the entire apparatus. The following effects relating to improvement in operability, versatility, and the like can be obtained.

First, in the present embodiment, a main banknote transport path 501 which passes through the banknote discriminating section 3 and is conveyed in one direction in a ring is constituted, and a deposit / withdrawal port 2, a temporary storage 4, a cash box 7, and a The bills fed from each of the recycle box 8 and the loading / collection box 11 individually merge into the main bill transfer path 501, and also have a cash slot 2, a temporary storage box 4, an input safe 6, a recycle box 8, and a reject box. The banknotes stored in the storage 9 and the loading / recovery storage 11 are individually configured to branch off from the main banknote transport path 501. For example, in the conventional banknote pay-in / pay-out machine shown in FIG. Compared to a device having two bill transport paths and having a "8-shaped" configuration, a small-sized device with less branching / merging can be realized. In particular, the transport path needs to have a structure that can open and close the transport path in order to remove the stagnated banknotes when a paper jam occurs. A device with a small opening and closing mechanism can be realized, and not only the size is reduced, but also the operability of personnel is good.

Further, in the present embodiment, the branch point to the deposit / withdrawal port 2 and then to the reject box 9 in the downstream direction from the bill discriminating section 3 to the annular main bill transport path 501 which is conveyed in one direction. , A junction to the entrance safe 6, a junction from the exit safe 7, a junction / junction with the recycle box 8, a junction / junction with the loading / collection box 11, and then a temporary storage box 4. Are arranged in the order of the branch / merge point, and then the merge point from the deposit / withdrawal port 2. As described above, the arrangement order is such that all bills to be conveyed in the deposit transaction, the withdrawal transaction, etc. After passing through the section 3, efficient transport and strict cash management are realized. In other words, the arrangement order is not an "eight-shaped" main bill conveyance path as in the conventional example, but is an effective arrangement order for realizing with one annular main bill conveyance path 501 as in the present embodiment. For example, it is possible to arrange the temporary storage at the end of one annular main transport path, and to perform bill discrimination both in the deposit counting process and the deposit storing process. Also, put the reject warehouse at the top,
The transport distance of rejected bills at the time of depositing, dispensing, loading, etc. is shortened.

Secondly, in the present embodiment, in a depositing transaction in which bills in various states can be inserted, banknotes fed out of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 are conveyed, bent, or torn greatly inclined. The banknote that is present is not taken into the temporary storage 4 as a deposit reject bill by the bill discriminating unit 3, but is switched by the switching gate 252, discharged to the deposit / withdrawal port 2, and returned to the user. At this time, the deposit reject bill Has only one junction in the banknote transport path from the deposit / withdrawal port 2 to the banknote discriminating section 3 and only one branch point in the banknote transport path from the banknote discriminating section 3 to the banknote port 2. Therefore, as compared with the conventional example shown in FIG.
The transport distance is also short. In the deposit transaction, since the user randomly inserts the banknotes in hand, broken or broken banknotes, foreign matter such as coins, etc. are assumed to be mixed, and as a deposit reject, the banknote to be returned is This is a transaction in which a banknote jam is likely to occur at a branch point or a junction.This embodiment can reduce the possibility of such a banknote jam, and even if a banknote jam occurs, the jam position is not changed. Since the number of places where banknotes stay on the transport path is confirmed at the time of jam removal is reduced, labor saving of staff operations can be achieved.

Thirdly, in the present embodiment, the bill discriminating section 3 is arranged below the depositing and dispensing port 2, the temporary storage 4 is arranged below the bill discriminating section 3, and the deposit safe 6 and the deposit box 6 are arranged. The safe 7, the recycle store 8, the reject store 9, and the loading / collecting store 11 are arranged in a stacked manner at the rear, and in particular, the rear stores have the same external dimensions. The cassette unit transfer path 851 is detachably attached to the banknote depositing and dispensing mechanism 1.
Since a to 851e have a common and divided configuration, the setting change of the total number of the in-box 6, out-box 7, recycle box 8, reject box 9, loading / collecting box 11, and distribution of the number of individual safes It has a general-purpose configuration that allows easy setting changes. Also, the operation of the staff from the rear side is easy.

For example, when depositing and withdrawing, the bank can select the recycle box 8 from the viewpoint of financial efficiency, rather than having the deposit box 6 and the deposit box 7 separately.
Due to the circulation of banknotes, there is a risk of counterfeit banknotes and a risk of jams due to damage to the banknotes when recycled, and a configuration in which the in-box 6 and the out-box 7 are separated can be selected. When two or more recycle boxes 8 are installed, a configuration with a loading / collection box 11 can be selected for labor saving of attendant processing, and cost or transfer of bills in the apparatus can be selected. The frequency increases, and there is a risk of jam due to damage to the banknote. Therefore, a configuration without the loading / collecting storage 11 can be selected.

For the bank side, the system is initially operated as shown in FIG. 3, and depending on the operating status of the deposit and withdrawal transaction, for example, when there are more withdrawal transactions than deposit transactions and it is desired to increase the number of deposit boxes,
The deposited banknotes are stored in the reject store 9 instead of the deposit safe 6,
It is only necessary to replace the incoming safe 6 with the outgoing safe 7. Or
For example, it can be changed on weekdays and holidays depending on the operation status. For example, comparing the recycle box 8 of the present embodiment with the exit safe 7, the recycle box 8 has a small banknote capacity because a space is secured in front of the storage section for the storage operation. On holidays in which a large amount of withdrawal transactions are expected, the recycle box 8 may be replaced with the withdrawal safe 7 for operation. As a depositing machine and a dispensing machine that handles only deposits and withdrawals,
Naturally, it can be used, and in particular, when used as a dispensing machine, it is advantageous in terms of cost to adopt a configuration without the bill discriminating section 3 and the temporary storage 4.

In the case where the total number of the in-box 6, the out-box 7, the recycle box 8, the reject box 9, and the loading / collecting box 11 is changed, if the number is larger than in this embodiment, the height of the banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism 1 is increased. It is sufficient to stack the safes by enlarging the size, and if the number is smaller than that of the present embodiment, the safe can be operated with the unnecessary portion left open, and the height of the bill receiving / dispensing mechanism 1 can be reduced to reduce the size. It may be. Incoming safe 6, outgoing safe 7, recycle store 8, reject store 9, loading / collecting store 11,
As described above, the receipt safe 6 and the reject store 9, the recycle store 8 and the loading / collecting store 11 are compatible with each other,
Since the safes 7 are compatible when a plurality of safes are mounted, a display and a storage means are provided in each safe to display and store the safe distinction, the denomination of the denomination, the number of storages, and the like. Improved handling, prevention of incorrect attachment / detachment, and stricter cash management can be achieved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the bills to be handled are configured to have versatility. In order to handle not only Japanese yen but also a wide range of foreign banknotes with different dimensions, each unit (Deposit / Deposit port 2, Deposit safe 6, Deposit safe 7,
Recycle box 8, reject box 9, loading / collection box 11)
The storage part has a short dimension of about 100 mm and a long dimension of about 200
mm, and the transport unit (note discriminating unit 3, temporary storage 4,
The width of the bill transport path 5) is preferably about 220 mm. In addition, the minimum bill size to be handled is about 60m short dimension.
m, length 120mm
It is preferable to arrange an adjustable regulation guide (not shown) in the storage unit where the staff or the user sets the bills, in order to regulate the longitudinal and lateral alignment according to the size of the bills to be handled. As described above, the recycle box 8 discharges upward from below when stored, discharges downward when unreeled, and stacks stored banknotes in the horizontal direction. In particular, even for bills having different dimensions in the short direction corresponding to the transport direction, due to the gravity of the bill at the time of storage, the lower ends of the bills are aligned along the bottom plate 88. Easy to secure performance.

Further, by handling foreign bills, not only the number of denominations in the deposit transaction is increased than in the case of Japanese yen, but also the size of bills may differ greatly in the longitudinal and transverse directions depending on the denomination. In many cases, the banknotes inserted into the deposit port may have largely disordered alignment. Also,
In terms of the degree of folding and tearing of banknotes, there are more banknotes under bad conditions than Japanese yen when viewed from the circulation of banknotes in each country. Therefore, reduction of the bill jam in the bill transport path by the deposit reject bill generated at the time of the deposit transaction is an important issue, but according to the present embodiment, as described above, the bill reject bill passes through the deposit reject bill. Is the only converging point on the bill transport path from the deposit / withdrawal port 2 to the bill discriminating section 3,
There is only one branch point in the banknote transport path from the banknote to the deposit / withdrawal port 2, the number of branching / merging points is small, and the transport distance is short by disposing the deposit / withdrawal port 2 above the banknote discriminating section 3. , Thereby reducing the bill jam.

Further, by making the handling bill size versatile, the bill receiving / dispensing mechanism of the present embodiment can handle sheets other than bills. For example, when issuing a ticket or a guide, a clerk may set it in the outbox 7. In the case of a device which requires printing such as issuance of transaction slips, issuance of checks, etc., a printing mechanism may be provided in the middle of the banknote transport path, but instead of the exit safe 7, a storage unit and a feeding mechanism are provided. It may be replaced with a dedicated storage having a built-in printing mechanism. When a means for reading a paper sheet on which a number is printed, such as issuance of a traveler's check, is required, the same mounting as the printing means may be performed. Alternatively, the number may be passed through the deposit bill discriminating unit 3, the number may be read, and the number may be discharged to the deposit / withdrawal port 2.

Also, in this embodiment, an in-box 6, an out-box 7, a recycle box 8, and a reject box 9 normally operated by a staff member.
Are stacked and arranged on the rear surface of the device, and each safe (storage) can be individually pulled out horizontally from the rear surface, so that operability is good. Abnormalities such as jams are likely to occur between these safes and the cassette unit transport paths 851a to 851e. However, since the safes are easily attached and detached, the jam removal operation is also easy. If you want to remove or add notes from the safe,
Even if only the relevant safe is removed, there is no need to bring down the device without hindering the continuation of transactions that do not use the safe. Further, in this embodiment, each unit (the deposit / withdrawal port 2, the bill discriminating unit 3, the temporary storage 4, the safe 6, the safe 7, the recycle store 8, the reject store 9, and the loading / collecting store 11) As described above, the bill transport path 5 is configured to connect each unit with an independent configuration, and handling such as assemblability and transportability is easy. In the above embodiment, the banknote shown in FIG. 5 is wound as a temporary storage, but a normal stacking type stacker may be used. In addition, the deposit and withdrawal port is a single unit, but the deposit and withdrawal port for dispensing bills and the withdrawal port for discharging withdrawal bills may be independent.

[0060]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a banknote pay-in / pay-out device with a simple structure, a small number of banknote jams in the banknote transport path, and a high operability for staff and maintenance personnel. In addition, select either a deposit machine that handles only deposits, a dispenser that handles only withdrawals, a deposit and withdrawal machine that handles deposits and withdrawals, select the number of denominations for each transaction, select whether or not each denomination is recycled, etc. And a highly versatile banknote pay-in / pay-out device that can easily cope with the problem.
