Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a banknote dispensing machine,
In particular, the present invention relates to a banknote dispensing machine suitable for being installed and used in various public stadiums.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a public stadium, for example, a public racetrack, a public bicycle racetrack, or a public boat racetrack, a race ticket is purchased, and if the race ticket is hit, a dividend is refunded.

[0003] In this kind of public stadium, a bill dispensing machine is installed to pay the dividend, and the payout can be paid out.

[0004] As a bill dispensing machine installed in the above-mentioned place, there is one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-90323. The bill dispensing machine described in this publication is provided with a dispensing port at the front of the machine body, and a customer can take out bills directly from the machine by himself / herself. Operations such as replenishment of bills and collection of collected bills.

[0005] That is, as described as a prerequisite of claim 1, a dispensing port formed in the upper front part of the body and a bill collected in the dispensing port formed in the upper rear area of the body are collected. A collecting outlet portion, a dispensing temporary holding portion formed in the vicinity of the back of the dispensing port portion, and a plurality of denomination dispensing banknotes arranged in a lower region of the body for storing dispensing banknotes in an accumulated state. And a denomination-type bill feeding unit provided for each of the denomination-dispensing banknote storage units and separating and feeding out the banknotes in the denomination-dispensing banknote storage unit one by one, and the bills fed by these feeding units. A pay-out bill transport path that has a pay-out bill identifying section in the middle and has a bill passing through the pay-out bill identifying section in the middle, and the pay-out bill transport path is connected and the pay-out bill section is connected to the pay-out port section. Connect to the collection port The banknotes which are provided in the front-back direction and which are determined to be normal bills to be dispensed based on the identification result by the dispensing banknote discriminating section are sent to the dispensing temporary holding section and the accumulation to be dispensed in the dispensing temporary holding section. A bill transport unit having a batch transport path for sending bills to the dispensing port and transporting the accumulated bills that have been forgotten to be removed from the dispensing port to the collection port in a state of being collected; and the dispensing. A bill rejection bill receiving unit is configured to receive a bill branched from the bill transport unit as a withdrawal reject bill, which is determined to be a dispensed bill based on the identification result by the bill recognizing unit.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the function of collecting all the bills in a plurality of denominated banknote storage units, for example, at the end of every day or once a week Sometimes a function is required to collect the entire amount (note that bills must be replenished at the beginning of the next operation). In this case, the bills are collected in the collection port. Is set to the maximum capacity of banknotes that have been forgotten to be withdrawn (maximum capacity of banknotes to be withdrawn). There was the inconvenience of having to go and collect all.

[0007] Further, a branch portion for dispensing rejected bills is provided in the middle of a pay-out bill conveying path for conveying the bills passing through the dispensing bill identifying portion upward, and a dispensing reject bill receiving portion is also arranged in the body. Therefore, the operation cannot be performed from the collection opening side that can be operated by the attendant, that is, from the rear side of the machine, and the operation from the side of the machine is inevitable.

However, when the machine is in operation, since the side walls and the side desks are present on both sides of the machine, the dispensing / rejection bill receiving unit cannot be operated from the side of the machine. It was necessary to pull it out so that it could be operated freely from the side of the fuselage, which was troublesome.

The invention described in claim 1 of the present application has been made to solve the above problems.

In the prior art, with respect to the identification of a dispensed bill, a dispensed regular bill and an irregular dispensed bill are discriminated, and a bill judged as a dispensed irregular bill is dispensed as a dispensed reject bill. It was never used.

However, the skewed banknote at the time of feeding the banknote,
Even if the banknote is not skewed, the banknote whose discrimination result is determined to be an irregularly dispensed banknote due to a slight shift in the transport width direction is often determined to be a dispensed normal banknote when the banknote is again dispensed. Nevertheless, it is collected as a withdrawal reject banknote, which hinders effective use of the banknote.

If such a bill that can be dispensed again can be used for dispensing, an opportunity for a staff member to collect a dispensing reject bill and to replenish the dispensing bill is reduced.

The invention according to claim 2 of the present application has been made to solve the above problems.

[0014] Further, in the conventional technique, when the number of bills in the withdrawal banknote storage unit is reduced during the withdrawal and does not reach the withdrawal amount, that is, during the transaction with one customer, the withdrawal banknote by denomination is stored. In some cases, the number of banknotes in the department may decrease, making it impossible to withdraw money.

In such a case, a clerk goes to the central checkout room, performs a replenishment procedure on the way, receives the bills of the denomination in a predetermined replenishment amount, and replenishes the machine. In the meantime, customers will have to wait.

The invention according to claim 3 of the present application has been made to solve the above problems.

According to the invention of claim 4 of the present application, a reject reject banknote storage section is provided separately from the reject reject banknote storage section, and the reject reject banknote is an out-of-device reject banknote storage section which is an in-machine banknote. The rejected banknotes are managed separately from the rejected banknotes, and the rejected banknotes can be removed from the rejected banknote storage unit.

In particular, the reject reject banknote storage unit may cause trouble when it is pulled out when receiving the reject reject banknote. It is sufficient to use a solenoid as a locking means for the drawer. However, this is expensive and complicated in terms of cost and electric control.

The invention described in claim 5 of the present application has been made to solve the above problems.

On the other hand, like this type of bill dispensing machine, there are a large number of transport systems in the machine body, which perform various processes on bills inserted into the machine body and convey it to a predetermined place, and also from the machine body. In a machine that dispenses predetermined banknotes, each unit is configured to be openable and closable to clear paper jams in the machine and to check each unit. It is configured so that it can be opened to expose the inside.

In such a machine, a transport system for paper sheets is usually provided in the upper part of the body in a horizontal direction, and an upper side of a transport member comprising upper and lower belts, rollers or a combination thereof constituting the transport system. The unit supporting the upper transport member can be opened and closed with respect to the body so that the space between the lower transport member and the lower transport member can be opened, and the unit including the lower transport member can be opened and closed. It is made to be able to expose the inside of the aircraft,
Therefore, the unit is opened in two stages. Depending on the structure of the machine, it may have two or more units. However, in a machine having a configuration in which a plurality of units can be sequentially opened and closed as described above,
If the operation procedure is incorrect when the unit is opened and closed, there is a danger of fingers being pinched between the aircraft and the unit, or between units, and there is a problem of damaging the unit.

FIGS. 2 to 4 show an example of an elevating mechanism for elevating and lowering the lower conveying body 22 including the receiving table 23. As shown in FIGS.

The lower carrier 22 and the receiving table 23
It is supported on a lifting frame 25 that moves up and down by a lifting drive unit 24.

The elevating frame 25 has a slide block 26 at one end thereof. The slide block 26 is inserted through a slide bearing 28 into a guide rod 27 erected on the side of the body 1 and has a predetermined stroke. The range can be raised and lowered freely.

Bearing portions 29, 29 are provided on the left and right portions of the upper surface of the elevating frame 25, and pulleys 33, which form a left and right pair on pulley shafts 30, 31, 32 rotatably supported by these bearing portions 29, 29. A pair of left and right belts 36, 36 are wound around 34, 35, and pulleys 37, 38 are fixed to pulley shafts 30, 31 at intermediate positions between the belts 36, 36. Also, a rotatable pulley shaft 32 'is provided between the pulley shafts 30, 31, and the belts 36, 36
Is pressed from the upper surface to position the belt below the cradle 23.

Pinions 39, 39 are fixed to both ends of a pulley shaft 31 located at the middle in the front-rear direction of the pulley shaft, and these pinions 39, 39 are racks 40, 40 erected on the body 1 side. So that it can be raised and lowered without tilting left and right.

[0061] The vertically driving unit 24 for raising and lowering the slide block 26, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a cam 41 which rotates with the motor M ₇ by the motor M _7, the shaft proximal end to a side body 42 The pin 45 of the slide block 26 is fitted in the long hole 43a at the tip of the link member 43, and the roller 45 pivotally supported on the side surface of the link member 43 is formed. When the roller 45 is positioned at a low position 41a of the cam 41 by rotation of the cam 41, the lifting frame 25 is placed at the lowered position, and the high position 41b of the cam 41 is rotated.
The lifting frame 25 is configured to rise as the rollers 45 move.

[0062] Figure 2, (a part of the position detecting sensor group _{S n} of FIG. 9) in FIG. 3 and 47 show a sensor that controls the driving of the motor _{M 7} detects the rotational position of the cam 41. That lift frame 25, slide block 26, integrally rise pair of belts 36 and 36 driven by the motor M _7, it detects the raised and lowered positions in descending, has the function of stopping the motor M _7.

The pedestal 23 is a plate having a portion corresponding to the pulley including the belts 36, 36 cut out, and compression springs 48, 48 on the upper surface of the elevating frame 25.
Is supported horizontally through When there is no load from above, the cradle 23 is positioned a predetermined amount above the upper surface of the lower transport body 22 (belts 36, 36) as shown by a chain line in FIGS. Even so, the positional relationship is maintained up to that point.

When the elevating frame 25 is raised to a predetermined height position lower than the raised position, the receiving base 23 has stoppers 49, 49 at its left and right ends (for each of the escape holes formed in the machine frames 60, 60 described later). Stop at the upper edge).

The elevating frame 25 continues to ascend toward the ascending position, but the pedestal 23 stops while receiving the spring pressure of the compression springs 48, 48 which are compressed while being bent. As a result, the belts 36, 36, which rise integrally with the lifting frame 25, are displaced upward from the cradle 23 in the course of the upward movement, and project upward by a predetermined amount when reaching the upward position (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2). Becomes

In the above, the reason why the upper surface of the receiving tray 23 is positioned above the upper surfaces of the belts 36, 36 by a predetermined amount at the banknote collecting position is that the first banknotes to be stacked slide on the receiving tray 23 smoothly, This is for sending to the collecting position.
Due to the positional relationship (indispensable for transporting banknotes), the belts 36, 36 are positioned a predetermined amount above the upper surface of the receiving stand 23,
If the cradle 23 and the belts 36, 36 are fixed on the elevating frame 25, the belts 36, 36 have a function of nipping and transporting the accumulated bills, so that a material of a material such as urethane that is hard to slip is generally used. Therefore, if the belts 36, 36 protrude above the cradle 23 when the bills are accumulated, the first bill cannot slide smoothly on the cradle 23, and comes into contact with the belts 36, 36, and receives resistance and is caught. This is because a slanted posture causes a stacking failure.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the rotation transmission system to the lower transport body 22 includes transport paths 10d, 10e, and 10h.
A driving motor M ₅ , a transmission gear 54 rotated by a timing belt 53 passing from a pulley 51 on an output shaft of the motor M _{5 to} a group of intermediate pulleys 52, and swinging about a shaft 55 of the transmission gear 54. A swing member 58 movably supported and urged in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5 by a spring 56 to define a rotation range by a stopper 57;
A first gear 59 as a first rotating body which is rotatably supported by the swinging member 58 and always meshes with the transmission gear 54, and pulleys 33, 33 on the rear side of the lower transport body 22 and a pulley 37 in the middle thereof. The pulley shaft 30 includes a second gear 61 as a second rotating body fixed to a protruding end protruding from one side of the machine frame 60.

The second gear 61 can be connected to the first gear 59 at a point when the lower transport body 22 is moving to the ascending position. Note the possible coupling state here means a standby state with the rotation of the motor M ₅ and the first gear 59, in this embodiment the first gear 59 upon rise of the lower carrier 22 second gear 61 In the state where the respective tooth ridges or the respective tooth roots face each other and the outer peripheral edge thereof is in contact with the
Alternatively, this means either the case where the tooth ridges and the tooth bottom of the second gear 61 and the first gear 59 face each other and are in the meshing state as it is. There is no regularity in which of these states,
Determined by the gear rotation stop position. First gear 59
And a roller or a belt instead of the second gear 61,
When the first roller (or the belt) and the second roller (or the belt) are used, the press-contact state of both the rollers is a state that can be combined.

The lower transport body 22 continues to ascend while maintaining the state in which the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 can be connected, and stops at the ascending position. A standby completion state in preparation for rotation of the motor M ₅ and the first gear 59 at this time.

The reason why the first gear 59 is movably provided by the rocking member 58 is that the mechanisms (belts 36, 36, first gear 59, second gear 61, cradle 23,
This corresponds to a change in the height position at which the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 can be connected due to an assembly error of the lifting / lowering drive unit 24, the lifting / lowering frame 25, the slide block 26, and the like, due to wear due to use and the like. To do that.

The upper carrier 2 with respect to the lower carrier 22
1 is a pair of belts 36 and 3 constituting the lower transport body 22.
The belt 6 is composed of a pair of belts opposed to each other so as to be able to press against each other from above. Each pulley group on which this belt is stretched is supported by each swinging lever (not shown) so as to be liftable and urged downward by a tension spring (not shown). The lower limit of each swing lever is defined by a stopper.

As a result, when the lower transport body 22 is at the lowered position, the lower surface of the upper transport body 21 (the lower surface of the belt) is at a fixed position slightly below the bill loading surface 8a of the dispensing port 8.
When the lower transport body 22 moves to the ascending position, the upper surface of the stacked banknotes stacked on the lower transport body 22 (the pair of belts 36, 36) during the movement (the belt 36 of the lower transport body 22 when no stacked banknotes are present). , 36) is the upper carrier 21
Abut the lower surface of the belt. When the lower transport body 22 continues to move further toward the ascending position, the lower surface of the upper transport body 21 accumulates bills between the belts 36, 36 of the lower transport body 22 by the urging force of the tension spring (not shown) and its own weight. We pinch with strong power.

When the lower transport body 22 further moves up, the upper transport body 21 also starts moving integrally with the lower transport body 22 while holding the stacked bills. When the lower transport body 22 reaches the raised position and stops, the upper transport body 21 stops. 21 also stops at that position while holding the stacked banknotes. The belt area of the lower surface of the pair of belts of the upper transport body 21 that is in contact with the stacked banknotes is displaced upward by the sandwiching thickness with respect to the pair of belts 36, 36 of the lower transport body 22. It goes without saying that the belt area not in contact has a small upward displacement amount.

[0074] Next from the motor M ₅ Referring to the driving force transmission system to the pair of belts of the upper carrier 21, a gear 70 is fixed to one axis 52A of the intermediate pulley 52 group 5 Gear 71 meshing with this
Is fixed to a shaft 72, a transmission pulley 73 is fixed to the shaft 72, and a lever 74 is swingably supported on the shaft 72.

A shaft 75 is rotatably supported at the tip of the lever 74. A transmission pulley 76 and a transport pulley 10d-p are fixed to the shaft 75, and a transmission pulley 73 and a transmission pulley 76 are provided between the transmission pulley 73 and the transmission pulley 76. A transmission belt 77 is stretched.

The transport pulleys 10d-p are for driving a pair of belts as the upper transport body 21, and are fixedly provided as a pair on a shaft 75 corresponding to the pair of belts. Further, a pulling mechanism (not shown) in which the lever 74 is stretched between the pair of belts and the machine frame so that the transport pulleys 10d-p and 10d-p press the upper surfaces of the lower traveling areas of the pair of belts regardless of the amount of bills. The spring is urged counterclockwise in the figure.

The transport path 10e is also provided with a pair of belts in the transport width direction, and the upper and lower pairs of belts are in pressure contact. Among these, the lower pair of belts is located at a fixed position, while the upper pair of belts have the same supporting structure as the upper transport body 21 (a pulley group for mounting a pair of belts, each swing lever, each pulling member). (Springs, stoppers) so that the stacked bills can be transported upward.

[0078] In Figure 5, the first gear 59 when the motor _{M 5} is driven to rotate. If the teeth of the second gear 61 and the tooth of the first gear 59 face and mesh with each other at a stage before the rotation of the first gear 59, the rotation of the first gear 59 causes the second gear 61 to rotate. Starts spinning immediately. If the tooth ridges or the tooth roots of the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 face each other at the stage before the rotation of the first gear 59 and their outer peripheral edges are in contact with each other, the first gear 59 The second gear 61 and the first gear 5 when
The tooth ridge and the tooth bottom of 9 face each other and become in an engaged state,
The rotation of the first gear 59 is transmitted to the second gear 61 and starts to rotate. Thereby, both the upper transport body 21 and the lower transport body 22 are driven while holding the stacked bills,
The stacked bills are conveyed.

FIG. 9 is a control block diagram of the entire bill dispensing machine, which has a control unit 100.

[0083] The display lamp L ₂ are flashes when the rejected bills (dispensing reject banknote, collecting rejected bills) in dispensing mode and recovery mode is present the dispensing reject banknote storage portion 5b, withdrawal reject Lights up when the rejected bills in the bill storage unit 5b are full. Flashing of the display lamp L ₂ is, withdrawal reject banknote storage unit 5
This is because the bill presence / absence detection switch (one of the sensors Sn in FIG. 9) in b detects the presence of a bill. The lighting of the display lamp L ₂ is due to the full detection replenishment reject banknotes full sensor (one of the sensors Sn of FIG. 9).
And when all of the rejected bills from dispensing reject banknote storage portion 5b is taken out, display lamp L ₂ is turned off from flashing or lighting state.

On the side of the door 4, a refill button D ₂ ,
A collection lamp L ₃ and a collection button D ₃ are provided, and a replenishment reject lamp L ₄ is provided on the side of the replenishment reject box 14 located below the door 4.

[0085] The replenishing and collecting light L ₃ is flashing (supplementation longer flashes, collecting short flashes) by the input command signal Px replenishment or recovered, supplemented based on the operation of the replenishment button D ₂ or recovery button D ₃ Turns on in the mode or collection mode, and turns off when the mode ends.

[0086] replenishment reject lamp L ₄ are, flashes when the replenishment reject banknotes are present in the recruitment reject box 14 (when the replenishing rejected bills-detection switch is one of the sensors Sn of Figure 9 detects the bill Yes) When the replenishment reject banknote in the replenishment reject box 14 is full (based on the full detection of the replenishment reject banknote full sensor which is one of the sensors Sn in FIG. 9), the light is turned on. Also after taking out all of the replenishment reject banknotes pull the replenishment reject box 14, replenishment reject lamp L ₄ and re-set is turned off.

Referring again to FIG. 9, the control section 100 includes a replenishment bill identification section 11, a dispensing bill identification section 16, a conveyance path sensor group Sm, and a position detection sensor group Sn (including the presence / absence of a banknote and the amount thereof). It is connected.

[0096] Next conveying path 10d from the motor _{M 5} with reference to FIG. 12, 10e, illustrating the configuration of a driving force transmission system to 10h. As a premise, pulley 10d in FIG.
As described above, -p is a pulley that presses a conveyance belt as the upper conveyance body 21 and is forcibly driven, or a pulley 10e.
-P ₁ is pulley to force driving the upper-side conveying belts of the conveying path 10e is pressed upward from below, the pulley 10
e-p ₂ are pulleys to force driving the lower side conveyor belt of the conveying path 10e is pressed upward from below, the pulley 1
Reference numeral 0h-p denotes a pulley that forcibly drives the right side of the transport belt on the left side of the transport path 10h by pressing the right side from the left to the right.
The transport belt on the right side of the transport path 10h is pressed and contacted with the transport belt on the left side and is driven to rotate.

[0097] In FIG. 12, the timing belt pulley 51 fixed to an output shaft of the motor _{M 5} 53 (FIG. 5
Pulley 10d-p, pulley 10
The driving force is transmitted to hp. The timing belt 53A is wound between the pulley 110 which is fixed to the drive shaft A ₁ and pulley 51A which is fixed to the output shaft. As a result, the timing belt 53A and the drive shaft A ₁
Is forward rotation by the forward rotation of the motor M ₅ (solid arrow direction rotation), reverse rotation by the reverse rotation of the motor M ₅ (one point arrow direction rotation).

[0098] The one end of the drive shaft _{A 1,} the drive shaft _{A 1}
Forward rotation (the direction indicated by the solid arrow rotation) only reverse rotation gear 111 one-way clutch 111A is built for transmitting and converting to the drive shaft A ₂ in (dashed line direction rotation) is provided for.

[0099] The other end of the drive shaft A ₁ is the pulley 113 to the one-way clutch 112 is built for transmitting reverse rotation of the drive shaft A ₁ a (one-dot chain line rotating) the drive shaft A ₂ Is provided.

[0100] On the other hand, the drive shaft _{A 2} is a gear 114 which meshes with the gear 111 of the drive shaft _{A 1} at one end is fixed,
Pulley 116 cooperative with the pulley 113 and the belt 115 of the drive shaft _{A 1} is fixed to the other end.

[0102] As a result, the drive shaft _{A 2,} the positive rotation of the motor _{M 5,} in either case of the reverse rotation to reverse rotation (dashed line direction rotation), a pair to the drive shaft _{A 2} pulleys 10e-
_{p 2,} 10e-p ₂ is fixed, applying a driving force to the pair of belts of the lower transport path 10e.

[0102] Also the belt 119 is wound between a pulley 118 which is fixed the other end a pulley 117 fixed to the drive shaft _{A 3} of the drive shaft _{A 2,} a pulley 120 which is fixed to the drive shaft _{A 3} belt 122 is wound between the pulleys 121 of the support shaft _{a 4.}

[0103] In addition to the drive shaft A _5, pulley 10e-p ₁ to force driving the upper-side conveying belts of the conveying path 10e is pressed from the lower side to the upper side is fixed, the belt end of the drive shaft A ₅ Roller 1 for pressing 122 downward from above
The belt 23 is fixed and is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the belt 122.

[0104] Thus, the drive shaft A5 is a positive rotation of the motor M _5, also (reverse rotation of the rotation of the drive shaft A ₂₎ solid direction shown in rotation relative to the rotation of the reverse rotation of either direction

[0105] Thus the upper-side conveying belts and the lower side conveyor belt of the conveying path 10e, the positive rotation of the motor M _5, is forced driven to the right in FIG. 1 irrespective of the reverse rotation.
Note the motor M ₅ is at low speed at the time of conveyance of the accumulated bills, during conveyance one by one positive is high speed with reverse rotation.

FIG. 13 shows an example of a drawer control mechanism 130 that controls locking and unlocking of the refill reject box 14, that is, controls whether or not the reject reject box 14 can be pulled out.

A lock pin 14a is fixed to the outer wall in the width direction of the replenishment reject box 14 (the wall surface on the front side in FIG. 13), and a support shaft 131 is provided on the side of the body 1 opposed to the lock pin 14a. A lock lever 132 that can swing around the center is provided.

A tension spring 133 is stretched between the lock lever 132 and the body 1, and a rotational force in the clockwise direction in FIG. 13 is urged, and the lock lever 132 swings by a stopper 134 provided on the body 1. Restrictions are imposed.

A projection 13a is provided on the side of the stage 13 (the front side in FIG. 13), and the projection 13a protrudes outside the side wall of the bill storage space of the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3.

The protrusion 13a of the lock lever 132
A cam surface 132a is formed at a portion facing the lifting orbit of the refill box 14.
A lock portion 132b is formed facing the movement area of a.

In FIG. 13, Sn indicates a mounting detection sensor (one of the position detection sensor group Sn in FIG. 9) for detecting that the refill reject box 14 has been inserted and mounted to the proper position of the body 1. Show.

The drawer control mechanism 130 has a function of preventing the refill reject box 14 from being pulled out while bills in the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3 are being fed.

That is, when the stage 13 is lowered to the position shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG.
2 also moves to the position shown in the dashed line, and the lock lever 13
The second lock portion 132b retreats from the movement range of the lock pin 14a. As a result, the refill reject box 14
The user can manually pull out the fuselage 1 toward the back (rightward in FIG. 13) of the fuselage 1.

The replenishment reject box 14 pulled out
When the replenishment reject banknotes in the inside are taken out and the empty rejection reject box 14 is mounted again, the stage 13 can be raised on condition that the mounting detection sensor Sn detects the mounting, and the stage 13 is raised (in the inclined posture). When the lock lever 132 moves straight up in the direction of the inclination angle), the lock lever 132 is displaced to the position shown by the solid line in FIG.
The reject box 14 is prevented from being pulled out.

[0115] Note that when replenishing the reject box 14 remains in state withdrawal does not work the attachment detection sensor Sn, thus also increasing motor M ₆ stages 13 placed remain inactive. The fixed position of the stage 13 is the position indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 13 (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1) of the standby position. And that the replenishment reject box 14 has been mounted and the mounting detection sensor Sn has detected it,
The stage 13 can be lifted on the condition that the rejected banknote amount in the rejection reject box 14 is not the predetermined amount (the full detection sensor which is one of the position detection sensor group Sn does not fully detect). Become.

In a conventional bill dispensing machine or the like,
Some reject boxes have a reject box for receiving reject bills at the time of withdrawal, but this reject box can be freely pulled out of the machine.

As means for preventing the reject box from being pulled out freely, a lock lever is connected to the plunger of the solenoid, and the solenoid is excited to move the lock lever in the unlocking direction so that the reject box can be pulled out. Some have done so.

However, it is difficult to dispose the solenoid near the reject box, and the solenoid must be arranged at a position distant from the reject box. Therefore, the interlocking mechanism between the solenoid and the lock lever becomes complicated or the structure becomes complicated. Enlargement was inevitable. In addition, there is a problem that electric control of the solenoid is required, which leads to an increase in cost.

In this regard, according to the above-described embodiment, the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3 operated by the machine manager or the machine operator is provided at the back of the machine body 1, and the machine body 1 is similarly provided at the lower part.
A reject box 14 that can be operated from the back of the refill / collected bill storage unit 3.
Has a configuration in which a stage 13 on which a replenishment bill is placed is pressed against the replenishment delivery unit 12 on the upper side and is fed out. Further, the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3 stores bills at the time of collection.

For this reason, a predetermined interval is provided between the upper surface of the stacked banknotes collected and stored in the stage 13 and the lower surface of the replenishment feeding unit 12 so that the collected banknotes can be smoothly placed. The stage 13 is lowered so as to maintain a predetermined interval.

The maximum bill amount collected on the stage 13 is set in the following relationship. That is, the lowering limit of the stage 13 when the maximum amount of collected banknotes is reached is set such that the projection 13a is located a predetermined amount above the cam surface 132a of the lock lever 132 at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. And even if the collection amount becomes maximum, the lock lever 13
The position of the lock pin 14a is held by the lock pin 2a to prevent the refill reject box 14 from being pulled out during collection.

In this embodiment, an example of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 3 is shown as described above, but it may be used as a storage unit 3 dedicated to replenishment.

In any case, replenishment reject box 1
Since the locking and unlocking of the stage 4 is performed mechanically using the downward movement of the stage 13, there is no need to use an electric means such as a solenoid, and as a result, electric control is not required, and the structure can be reduced in size and cost can be reduced. Can be planned.

Next, the overall operation of the above embodiment will be described.

A) Replenishment Mode In FIG. 9, when a command signal Px relating to the replenishment mode is input from the host machine to the control unit 100, the replenishment / recovery lamp L ₃ (FIG. 10) repeats “blinking at long intervals”. , A machine operator or a machine operator (not a customer; the customer can operate only on the front side of the machine body 1; these are hereinafter referred to as a machine manager or the like).

[0126] In the case of replenishment and recovery lamp L ₃ is the "blink of short interval", the recovery command signal Px from the host machine
Is input to the control unit 100, and is distinguished from the replenishment command signal Px.

At this time, since the stage 13 is at the lowest position, the reject box 14 can be freely pulled out. If a rejected banknote is present in the box 14, the rejected banknote is
Empty refill box 1 from 4
4 is attached to the body 1. The machine administrator goes to the central checkout office and, if there is a rejected banknote, hands it over to the checkout station, and supplies 1,000 yen and ten thousand yen bills as replenishment bills.
Receive 00 sheets at a time.

[0128] The banknote was brought to the aircraft 1 and
Is opened, and a total of 600 bills are aligned and stacked on the stage 13.

[0129] Then press the refill button _{D 2} when switch _{D 21} is turned ON as shown in FIG. 9, the motor M via the control unit 100
₆ is driven, the stage 13 is raised, and the upper surface of the stacked stacked banknotes is pressed by the replenishment feeding unit 12, and when the pressed state is detected by the position detection sensor group Sn, the motor M
₆ temporarily stops, and the motors M ₁ and M ₂ rotate together.

[0130] clutch C ₃ yet at that time is de-energized (excited after a predetermined time has elapsed), but supplemented feeding unit 12 is stopped, the conveyance path 10 of the replenishment delivery portion 12 later
a and 10b, 10f, and 10g are driven by rotation of motors M ₁ and M ₂ . In addition, the replenishment bill identification section 11 can also be identified.

[0131] On the other hand, the display lamp _{L 3} will be lit,
Notifies that replenishment is in progress. Further, the conveyance path sensor group Sm and the position detection sensor group Sn are in an operable state.
Then, the solenoids S corresponding to the switching units G ₁ , G ₂ , G ₃
D ₁ , SD ₂ , and SD ₃ can be switched ON and OFF based on the identification signal to the replenishment bill identification unit 11 and the transport path sensor group Sm.

[0132] Then clutch _{C 3} are turned ON, supplement feed unit 12 is driven, feeding the paper money is started. Each time the fed bill is identified by the replenishment bill identifying section 11, the payout is carried out at the pitch and speed at which the next bill is paid out.

[0133] The position motor M ₆ is intermittently driven through the detection sensor group Sn, supplemented feeding stage 13 by a predetermined amount not a Dzu rises and stacking banknotes predetermined pressure in response to the bill fed supplemented feed unit 12 The bill is pressed against the unit 12 and the continuous feeding of one bill is continued.

When the bill thus fed out is identified by the replenishment bill identifying section 11 as a 1,000-yen bill, the temporary holding section 2 for 1,000 yen
a ₁ , a temporary storage unit 2 for 10,000 yen when identified as a 10,000 yen bill
to a ₂ are integrated in a horizontal state, rejected bills of the paper money or the like of other banknotes or two overlap are integrated is fed in a horizontal state to replenish the reject box 14 as replenishment reject banknote. For example, if 1000 yen note supplemented banknote recognition unit 11 is first 100 sheets identification becomes clutch C ₃ is deenergized, supplement feed unit 12 pauses and the motor M ₆ also becomes suspended.

On the other hand, the motors M ₁ and M ₂ are stopped in anticipation of the time when the banknotes in the transport paths 10 a and 10 b are received in the temporary holding units 2 a ₁ and 2 a ₂ and the replenishment reject box 14 according to the identification result. I do.

[0136] Then the motor _{M 3} is rotated a predetermined time, the escrow unit _2a 1, a pair of bottom plate _2a 11 of 2a _2, 2
_{a 11, 2a 21, 2a} 21 are double doors downwardly, each integrated escrow banknotes are stacked on the bottom of the integrated states to the dispensing bill accommodating unit ₂ 1, _{2 2.} In addition each withdrawal bill storage unit ₂ 1,
It housed a number of bills to 2 ₂ is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 100.

Motor M₃By continuous rotation of the bottom plate 2
a₁₁, 2a₁₁, 2a₂₁, 2a ₂₁Closes the motor
M₃Stops.

Immediately thereafter, the replenishment bill is fed out again by the rotation of the motors M ₁ and M ₂ and the ON (excitation) of the clutch C ₃ , the identification by the replenishment bill identification unit 11, the temporary holding unit for the 1,000-yen bill and the 10,000-yen bill. 2a ₁ , temporary storage in 2a ₂ ,
The refill reject banknotes are stored in the refill reject box 14.

Again, one of the temporary holding sections 2a ₁ or 2a ₂
When the number of sheets reaches 100, the replenishment feeding unit 12
There stops at OFF of the clutch _{C 3} (non-excited), then the motor _M 1, _{M 2} is stopped. Then a pair of the bottom plate _{2a 11, 2a 1 1, 2a} 21, 2a 21 is opened by the rotation of the motor _{M 3,} escrowed banknotes are accommodated in the respective dispensing bill accommodating unit ₂ 1, _{2 2.}

At this time, the temporarily reserved number for each denomination is added to the storage unit of the control unit 100, and each of the dispensed banknote storage units 2 ₁ , 2
₂ is stored in the storage unit as the total number of stored sheets.

[0141] dispensing all banknotes Similarly replenishment and collection banknote storing unit 13 banknote storing unit 2 _1, 2 _2, accommodating the replenishment reject box 14. When the storage is completed,
Replenishment and recovery lamp L ₃ is turned off, replenishment mode is terminated.

[0142] Also when the amount of replenishment reject banknotes replenishment reject box 14 in the middle operation supplement mode is full, replenishment reject lamp L ₄ are transitions from blinking to lighting.

[0143] On the other hand, the non-excitation of the clutch _{C 3,} the conveying path 10
The motor M ₁ after the lapse of time for storing the bills in the temporary holding units 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ and the replenishing reject box 14 (setting is possible to store several bills even when the bills are full). stop M _2, stage 1 of the reverse rotation of the motor _{M 6}
3 is moved to the lowest position, and the refill reject box 14 is pulled out to take out the refill reject bill, and the empty refill reject box 14 is set on the machine body 1 again.

[0144] Then turn without pressing the replenishment button D ₂ stage 13 rises, similarly supplement mode and when the pressing of the refill button D ₂ has been made is continued, all on the stage 13 by repeating the above operations And the replenishment mode ends.

B) Withdrawal Mode First, the customer inputs the amount to be paid out by operating the operation unit 101 in FIG. 9, and inputs the amount by reading a certificate certifying that the customer is the right holder.

Each of the dispensed bill storage units 2 ₁ , 2 is based on the input from the operation unit 101 and the dispensing command signal Px from the host machine.
Withdrawal of banknotes is performed from ₂ .

That is, the motors M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , M
₅ (high speed rotation) is driven, and the transport paths 10a, 10b, 1
0c (including 10h), 10d, 10e, 10f, 10
g is driven. The motor M ₃ are not in operation the bottom plate 2
a ₁₁ , 2a ₁₁ , 2a ₂₁ , and 2a ₂₁ are in a closed state. Motor M ₈ stops After driving a predetermined time, the partition plate 6 stops rises to two-dot chain line position shown from the solid line position shown in FIG. 8, and the acceptance of withdrawal rejected bills. For motor M ₇ is rotated by a predetermined angle from the solid line position shown in FIG. 2, the lift frame 25 is stopped at a position corresponding to the lowered position.

The motor M₆The refill mode and the recall mode
Stopped because it is not used in the withdrawal mode
It remains. In addition, the dispensing bill identification unit 16, the conveyance path detection
Sensor group Sm, position detection sensor group Sn, switching section G₁~ G
₆Actuating Solenoid SD ₁~ SD₆Also operable
Be in a state.

[0149] When the dispensed banknotes are both 2 denomination is dispensed from the side of the bill accommodating unit 2 _1, also 1 for denomination of that denomination dispensed bill accommodating unit 2 ₁ or 2 ₂ Dispensing banknotes.

The feeding portions 15 ₁ and 15 ₂ are set so that one bill is fed by one rotation of the kicker rollers 15 _1-1 and 15 _2-1 .

[0151] As a specific example, when the output amount is assumed 150,000 8,000 yen, first clutch C ₁ is energized, feeding unit 1
5 ₁ 1000 yen note 8,000 yen is driven, i.e. kicker roller 15 _1-1 is driven 8 rotations. The bills fed out during that time are identified by the dispensing bill identification section 16, and the bills identified as 1,000-yen bills are transferred from the transport path 10 d to the bill temporary holding section 9.
Are accumulated in a horizontal attitude. On the other hand, at the point in time when the dispensing bill identification section 16 identifies the bill as a 1,000-yen bill, one is subtracted from the total number of stored 1,000-yen bills in the storage section of the control section 100. The cradle 23 at that time is at the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIGS.

On the other hand, the withdrawal reject bill judged as a reject bill that cannot be used for dispensing by the dispensing bill identification unit 16 is sent from the transport path 10e to the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b and is accumulated horizontally. Is done.

The banknotes judged as defective banknotes (banknotes judged as skewed banknotes, abnormally approaching banknotes, etc. and judged to be re-payable) by the dispensing banknote discriminating section 16 are transferred to the transport path 10.
e to the transfer path 10f, and the transfer paths 10a and 10b
It is sent to the temporary holding section 2a ₁ through. And once it stopped the clutch _{C 1} at 8 rotation of the kicker roller _{15 1-1.} In the case of a banknote that has been determined to be a rejected banknote or a defective banknote by the banknote banknote recognizing unit 16, the banknote is not subtracted from the 1,000-yen banknote number value stored in the storage unit of the control unit 100.

With the eight revolutions of the kicker roller _151-1 , eight regular 1000-yen banknotes are identified by the dispensing banknote identification section 16, and
If it sent to banknote escrow unit 9 dispensing bill accommodating section 2 ₁
Feeding from is completed, the 1000 yen note the normal is identified as six for example exciting the clutch C ₁ again, the kicker roller 15 _1-1 is added 2 rotate.

[0155] Thus the 1000 yen note the two normal and accommodated therein identified the banknote escrow unit 9, feeding the paper money from the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 ₁ is completed. If you still can not reach to eight thousand yen feeding of the legitimate bill, to excite the number of sheets clutch C ₁ of 1000 yen note the lack by further rotation of the kicker roller 15 _1-1 thousand yen eight normal identification of the bill is finished feeding from dispensing the bill accommodating section 2 ₁ to be made.

[0156] Then clutch C ₂ is excited, the dispensing from the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 ₂ 150,000 yen by the same payout method, namely be fed out yen banknotes 15 sheets of regular paper currency discrimination part 16 , And temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 9 in an accumulated state.

When the dispensing bill recognizing section 16 identifies the dispensing reject bill on the way, the dispensing reject bill is sent from the transport path 10e to the dispensing reject bill storing section 5b and is accumulated in a horizontal state. The dispensing bill identification unit 16
In identified as defects physician banknote is branched from the transport path 10e to the conveying path 10f, the transport path 10a, through 10e, it is integrated into the escrow unit 2a ₂ in a horizontal state.

FIG. 8 shows the flow of the above-mentioned banknotes. In the figure, the solid line indicates the route of the normal withdrawal banknote, the broken line indicates the route of the rejection banknote, and the chain line indicates the route of the defective banknote. .

As described above, through the transport path sensor group Sm
Regular bills for 158,000 yen are collected in the bill temporary holding unit 9
When it is confirmed that the motor M₁,
M₂, M ₄, M₅Stops and the transport paths 10a, 10b, 1
0c (including 10h), 10d, 10e, 10f, 10
h stops.

[0160] On the other hand, the motor M ₇ starts, to swing the link member 43 upward through the roller 45 at its altitude 41b cam 41 is rotated, the lift frame along with this 25
Is the pinion 3 of the guide rod 27 and the pulley shaft 31
Due to the engagement between the racks 9 and 39 and the racks 40 and 40, the racks rise while maintaining a horizontal state (FIG. 2).

While the elevating frame 25 is being lifted, the receiving table 23 hits the stoppers 49 and 49 to prevent further rise, so that the temporarily stored banknotes in the accumulated state can be transferred from the receiving table 23 to the belt 36 of the lower transport body 22. , 36.
At the same time, the second gear 61 comes into contact with the first gear 59, and becomes in a meshable state.

The lifting frame 25 and the lower transport body 22 are further raised, and the sensor 4 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
The motor M7 is stopped by ₆ , 47 to stop.

The upper surface of the temporarily stored bill is pressed against the lower surface of the upper carrier 21 while the lower carrier 22 is being lifted, and the upper carrier 21 is pushed up by an amount corresponding to the amount of accumulated banknotes, and Stacked banknotes are held between 22.

Next, the motor M is controlled by the sensors 46 and 47 and other sensors (position detection sensor group Sn in FIG. 9).
₅ is a low speed, the stacked banknotes by upper and lower carrier 21 is transported from the dispensing opening 8 to a part is in a state projecting, stop the motor M ₅ when the part is projected (FIG. 9
(Depending on the conveyance path sensor group Sm).

When the customer pulls out and receives the accumulated bills from the dispensing port 8, payment of the dispensed bills is completed.

The motor M₇Restarts and transports
The transmitter 22 and the cradle 23 are lowered to the lowered position shown in FIG.
With motor M₇Stops. Motor M₃Starts
And a pair of bottom plates 2a₁₁, 2a₁₁, 2a₂₁, 2a
₂₁Opens and dispenses defective banknotes to the banknote storage unit 2₁, 2₂
After storing in a pair, each pair of bottom plates 2a₁₁, 2a₁₁, 2a
₂₁, 2a₂₁Is closed and the motor M₃Stops.

The dispensing mode is now completed.

[0168] In the case where the stacked banknotes from the dispensing opening 8 is not pulled even after the lapse of a predetermined time, the first motor M ₈ is started and lowers the partition plate 6 through the control unit 100 FIG. 8
Motor M ₈ is stopped after was positioned in the dashed line position shown in.

[0169] then low speed motor _{M 5} through the control unit 100 in the reverse direction, the paper money remains in the integrated state transport path 10d,
It is sent to the collection and storage section 5a through 10e. While the motor M ₅ is stopped when the conveyance path sensors Sm is detected by the storage of the recovery storing portion 5a collection of stacked banknotes, the motor M ₈
Is started and stops when the partition plate 6 is raised to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. At that time takes forget capture and unit recovery lamp L ₁ is turned on.

[0170] Mechanical administrator or the like opens the door 7a, taken while taking out the forgetting of dispensed banknotes, the motor _{M 3} is activated by the operation, the pair of the bottom plate _{2a 11, 2a 11, 2a 21} , 2a
₂₁ is opened and defective banknotes are stored in each of the withdrawal banknote storage units 2 ₁ , 2
₂ and the dispensing mode is completed.

[0171] Each storage number sum of yen and yen in the storage unit of the control unit 100 at this time, the dispensing reject banknote storage portion 5 and the number of bills of 2 _1, 2 in ₂ each dispensing banknote storage unit
It is based on the idea that this is the total value with the number of banknotes in b.

When the withdrawal / rejection bill storage unit 5b is full and is to be taken out, the number of denominations is visually checked, and the control unit 100 is operated to store the total number of storage amounts of 1,000 yen and 10,000 yen in the storage unit. To be subtracted from.

C) Unit Collection Mode The unit collection mode refers to the dispensed bill storage units 2 ₁ , 2 ₂ to 1
In this mode, bills are collected in units of 00 sheets. in this case,
Either one hundred thousand banknotes or ten thousand banknotes may be used, or any one of a hundred thousand banknotes in combination of one thousand banknotes may be determined by a command signal Px from the host machine to the control unit 100. .

Here, the above-mentioned command signal Px is used to store 1,000 yen bills and ten thousand yen bills from the dispensed bill storage units 2 ₁ , 2 ₂ respectively.
A case where a total of 100 sheets are collected will be described.

[0175] Motor M ₈ First, based on the instruction starts, the partition plate 6 is stopped moved downward from the solid line position shown in Figure 1 to the dashed line position shown in FIG.

[0176] The feeding and conveying the paper money from the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 _1, 2 ₂ are the same as the dispensing mode. The difference is that the rejected bills are stored in the bill
And it is escrowed to, and deferred the recovery problems doctor bill to the temporary holding section 2a _1, 2a _2, and the like can be accommodated in the withdrawal bill storage unit 2 _1, 2 ₂ at the end of the process.

[0177] That the banknote is fed from the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 _1, bills identified as 1000 yen note regular in dispensing the banknote recognition unit 16 is fed to the recovery storing portion 5a through the conveyance path 10e, horizontal Accumulated in state. In the meantime, bills judged to be rejected bills by the dispensing bill identification section 16 are accumulated in the bill temporary holding section 9. The bill determined to recover failure physician bill dispensing the banknote recognition unit 16 is deferred to the escrow unit 2a ₁ which corresponds to the dispensing bill accommodating section 2 ₁ fed out.

[0178] dispensing the bill storage portion banknote recognized drawn out from 2 ₁ of 50 sheets at a thousand yen bill regular Similarly shifts to feeding of yen bills from dispensing the bill accommodating unit 2 _2, When it is determined by the dispensing bill identification section 16 that the bill is a regular 10,000 yen bill, the bill is stored in the collection and storage section 5a, the rejected bill is stored in the banknote temporary storage section 9, and the banknote that is defectively collected is temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 2.
It is deferred to a _2.

When a total of 100 bills are identified, judged to be regular bills, and stored in the collection and storage section 5a (confirmed by the withdrawal recognition section 16 and the conveyance path sensor group Sm), the motor M
_{1, M 2,} M 4, while _{the M 5} is stopped, the partition plate 6 motor _{M 8} is activated to stop rising to the solid line position shown in FIG.

[0180] On the other hand, it takes forget to turn on the capture and unit recovery lamp L _1, prompting the removal of the unit recovery bill in the machine administrator or the like. The system administrator or the like when taking out a unit collecting bills by opening the door 7a, the lamp L ₁ is turned off.

[0181] Then the motor M ₈ restarts, and stops raising the partition plate 6 from the solid line position shown in FIG. 1 to the two-dot chain line position shown in FIG.

Next, the rejected banknotes in the withdrawal temporary holding section 9 are sandwiched between the upper transport body 21 and the lower transport body 22, and the two transport bodies 21, 22 are rotated by the motor M _{5 at} a low speed, as shown in FIGS. , And the rejected banknotes are withdrawn from the dispensing reject banknote storage unit 5 through the transport paths 10d and 10e.
b is received in an integrated state.

The bill is collected in the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b.
Then, one of the position detection sensor groups Sn (FIG. 9)
The motor M₅And stop
M ₈Is restarted, and the partition plate 6 is shown by a solid line in FIG.
Raise to the position and stop.

[0184] On the other hand, starts the motor _{M 3} is, each pair of the bottom plate _{2a 11, 2a 11, 2a 21} , 2a 21 open the temporary each withdraw pending in that harvested defect physician banknote accommodating section 2
_{1, 2 2} to the housed, arresting its motor _{M 3.} Each time the withdrawal bill identification unit 16 determines that the collected bill is a regular bill, the bill is decremented one by one from the corresponding value of the 1,000 yen and ten thousand yen bills in the storage unit of the control unit 100 each time. Collected defective banknotes and rejected banknotes are not subtracted from each sheet value.

D) Recovery Mode In this recovery mode, the driving of each of the motors M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , and M ₅ is the same as in the other modes, and only the different points will be described.

[0186] In Figure 9, the system administrator or the like on condition that the command signal Px concerning the recovery mode is inputted to the control unit 100 pushes the recovery button D ₃ in FIG. 10, the indicator lamp L ₃
(FIG. 10) flashes.

[0187] Meanwhile, the stage 13 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 is raised by the motor M _6, becomes lowered by a predetermined distance from the supplemented feed portion 12 in the stopped state position.

FIGS. 1 and 8 of the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3.
Bill renormalization belt bill renormalization port 12A at the top left side of (switching unit G ₃ vicinity), pulleys, and (driven by a respective motor M ₁₎ opposing rollers (not shown) and these coated have the guide It is in a state where it can be retracted and the collected bills can be brought in. In this state, the motor M
₈ is started, the partition plate 6 is raised to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8 and stopped. At this time replenishing the supply portion 12 while the clutch C ₃ is non-excited is placed in a stopped state.

[0189] Then first clutch C ₁ is energized, the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 _1, the banknote is fed one by one, or normal recovery bill dispensing identification unit 16, or recovered rejected bills, the recovery have trouble A bill is identified. At this time, only the banknotes determined to be normal collected banknotes are subtracted from the 1,000-yen banknote number value stored in the storage unit of the control unit 100. The same is true for ten thousand yen banknotes.

[0190] The legitimate collected bills are transported on the transport path 10C (10h
10e, 10f, 10a, 10b, switching section G
₃ and is accumulated on the stage 13 in a horizontal posture. At this time, the motor M ₆ is controlled in accordance with the number of bills collected so as to maintain an appropriate interval between the top bill and the replenishment feeding unit 12.
Is intermittently driven in reverse to lower the stage 13 by a predetermined amount.

The collected reject bills are received in the dispensing reject bill storage unit 5b. Further, the banknotes that are not collected properly are transferred to the transport paths 10c (including 10h), 10e, 10f, 1
0a, 10b, are sent to the escrow unit 2a ₁ through switching unit _{G 1.}

[0192] clutch C ₁ when one that all banknotes dispensed bill accommodating unit 2 ₁ is fed out position detection sensor group Sn is detected is de-energized, the supply portion 15 ₁ is stopped. A pair of bottom plates 2a then the motor M ₃ is activated
_{11, 2a 11 (2a 21,} 2a 21 also open at the same time) are escrowed banknotes are accommodated in the dispensing bill accommodating unit _{2 1} is opened.

[0193] Next is clutch C ₁ is energized again feeding the bill, the dispensed banknotes identification unit 16 supplemented and collecting the bill storage portion 3 and it is determined that normal recovery bill collecting rejected bills and recovering defects physician banknotes Is received by the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b.

[0194] Thus the feeding of all the banknotes dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 _1, transport, the deferred is made, the clutch C
₁ clutch C ₂ together becomes de-energized is energized, the process proceeds to the recovery operation of the yen bills.

The banknote discriminating unit 1 for the ten thousand yen banknote
At 6, the bills are classified into 10,000 yen regular collected bills, collected rejected bills, and banknotes with defective collection, and sent to the replenishment / collected bill storage unit 3, the dispensed reject bill storage unit 5 b, and the temporary storage unit 2 a ₂ .

[0196] The fed out all banknotes dispensed bill accommodating unit 2 in _2, identification, transport and deferred is performed, the clutch C ₂ is deenergized, the motor M ₃ stops the feeding portion 15 ₂ start, houses the escrowed banknotes to the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 in _2.

[0197] Then the electromagnetic clutches C ₂ again, the dispensed banknotes of the banknote accommodating section 2 within ₂ is fed, the recovery regular bills to replenish and collecting the bill unit 3, the recovery problem bills and collecting rejected bills are dispensed reject banknote It is received in the storage section 5b.

[0198] then allowed to start the motor M _8, and stops by moving the partition plates 6 to the solid line position shown in FIG. Motor M
₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , M ₅ (high-speed rotation) are stopped.

[0199] On the other hand, the motor M ₆ is continuously rotated in the reverse direction, the stage 13 1, 8, and stops by moving the lowermost position in FIG. 13. Replenishment / collection lamp L
₃ blinks during collection, but switches to lighting when the stage 13 is lowered to the lowest position. And machine administrator or the like to open the door 4, the lamp L ₃ and take out all of the recovery bill is turned off.

[0200] The dispensing reject banknote storage unit 5b, the lamp L ₂ is blinking when dispensing or collecting rejected bills are present, the lighting with their bill is full (in this case, the machine does not operate unless withdrawn banknotes )
The door 7b can be opened on condition that the partition plate 6 is located at the position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 8, and the withdrawal and the rejected bill can be taken out. The number of denominations of the dispensed and collected rejected banknotes is manually checked, and subtracted from the respective values of the 1,000 yen and ten thousand yen bills in the storage unit of the control unit 100. Becomes

The collection mode is now completed.

In the above, the collected bills, the collected and / or withdrawn reject bills taken out in the unit collecting mode or the collecting mode are brought to the central clearinghouse and handed.

E) Countless replenishment mode In addition to the above (A) replenishment mode, there is a countless replenishment mode. The difference between the (E) countless replenishment mode and the (A) replenishment mode is that the (A) replenishment mode replenishes out-of-machine bills into the machine, whereas the (E) countless replenishment mode exists in the machine. banknote dispensing bill accommodating portion 2 ₁ a (dispensing reject banknote storage unit bills in _5b), 2 ₂ navel escrow unit 2a
₁ and 2a ₂ , and even if the replenishment bill identifying unit 11 identifies the banknote as a regular 1,000 yen or 10,000 yen bill, its count value is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 100 as 1000 yen or 10,000 yen bill. That is, it is not added to each sheet value.

Each value of 1,000 yen and ten thousand yen bills in the storage unit
Are (B) withdrawal mode, (C) unit collection mode, (D)
As described in the description of the collection mode, withdrawal bill collection
Box 2 ₁, 2₂From the dispensing bill identification unit 16
Defective banknotes, withdrawal reject banknotes, recovery rigs
Each bill value of the project bill is not subtracted.

[0205] In other words and each bill the number of dispensed banknotes storage unit 2 _1, 2 _2, and each number (withdrawal seen by the human eye even reject the bill and thousand yen bill of bill of withdrawal reject bill accommodating section 5b This is because the total value of each of the denomination banknotes can be distinguished from each other and indicates the number of each denomination banknote).

(E) In the countless replenishment mode, the banknotes judged to be defective or rejected by the replenishment banknote recognition unit 11 are transported by a transport path 10g (corresponding to the second connection transport path in the present invention), a transport path. It is sent to the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b through 10e.

The operation will be described below.

For example, during the dispensing, the dispensing banknote storing section 2 by denomination
₁, 2₂If the number of bills in
In other words, withdrawing banknotes by denomination in the middle of a transaction with one customer
Part 2 ₁, 2₂When the number of banknotes inside is reduced and it becomes impossible to withdraw
There is.

In such a case, the command signal Px for the countless replenishment mode is input to the control unit 100 from the host machine in FIG. As a result, when the transaction operation is being performed in the (B) dispensing mode, the control unit 100 enters a dispensing transaction suspended state. Then withdrawal and recovery reject lamp L _{2 (FIG.} 10 shows) lights, prompting the extraction of the banknote dispensing reject banknote storage portion 5b in a machine administrator or the like. The replenishment and recovery lamp L ₃ is repeatedly "blink of long interval", "non-counting replenishment mode"
To the machine administrator and others.

[0210] The machine manager or the like takes out all the banknotes in the withdrawal reject banknote storage unit 5b and loads them into the replenishment / recovery banknote storage unit 3.

[0211] Then press the refill button _{D 2,} the partition plate 6 in FIG. 8
Then, the stage 13 ascends to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, and then the stage 13 moves upward, and the bills on the stage 13 are pressed against the replenishment payout unit 12, and thereafter, the bills are paid out in the same manner as in the above (A) replenishment mode, and the replenishment bill identification. a conveying path 10a in parts 11 is determined to regular bill conveyor, 10b and through each corresponding escrow unit 2a _1, 2a _2, bill determined to reject banknotes or faulty paper money through switching unit G ₆ from the transport path 10a 10g, and is conveyed to the
0e, and is sent to the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b.

Time when the bills in the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3 are exhausted and the last bill that has passed the replenishment bill identification unit 11 enters one of the temporary holding units 2a ₁ and 2a ₂ or the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b. while for positioning the partition plate 6 to the solid line position shown in FIG. 1 after a lapse of, the escrow unit 2a _1, 2a
₂ of the bottom plate _{2a 11, 2a 11, 2a 21} , 2a 21 escrowed banknotes thousand yen and yen each dispensing bill accommodating unit of ₂ 1 is opened, and _{2 2} is accommodated in the.

In this state, the machine stops, and (E) the countless replenishment mode ends. In the case of (B) the interruption of the transaction in the withdrawal mode, the interruption of the transaction in the (B) withdrawal mode is automatically canceled when the (E) countless replenishment mode ends, and the withdrawal operation is continuously performed. You.

The operation of each of the modes (A) to (E) has been described above.

[0215] By the way, in the illustrated embodiment, the case where the banknotes are stacked in the banknote temporary holding unit in the vertical direction has been described, but the banknotes may be stacked in a standing posture.

When the temporary banknotes reach the predetermined amount, the temporary banknotes are sent out in a stacking state. If the banknotes are withdrawal bills, the desired withdrawal amount input through operation and the withdrawal temporary holding amount actually fed out are different. Either a mode in which the temporarily stored banknotes are automatically sent out for dispensing at the time of coincidence, or a mode in which dispensing is sent out by the dispensing approval operation after the above-mentioned coincidence may be adopted.

The first transporting body (upper transporting body) and the second transporting body (lower transporting body) may have a belt structure, a roller structure, or a combination structure of a belt and a roller.

Further, the banknote stacking position of the receiving stand may be a fixed position, or the first banknote may be increased with the amount of the temporary banknotes so that an appropriate interval is provided between the first transporter and the upper surface of the temporary banknotes. Control may be performed so as to separate from each other.

Further, in the present invention, the first switching section includes a solenoid SD ₁ and a switching section G ₁ , and the second switching section includes a motor M
₈ and the partition plate 6 correspond to this.

In the illustrated embodiment, the dispensing port 8, the banknote temporary holding section 9, the collecting port (collecting and storing section 5a, the dispensing and rejecting banknote storing section 5b) and the like are arranged at the upper part of the machine body 1. 7a, 7b, a part of the transport paths 10d, 10e, 10f, a part of 10g,
