[Deposit processing (before deposit is confirmed)] When a banknote to be deposited by the operator is set in the banknote deposit port 21 and execution input of the "deposit processing" is made on the operation unit 14, a control unit (not shown) causes a banknote deposit to be performed. By the mouth 21, the bills are separated and fed out one by one, and the fed bills are
It is made to convey on the deposit processing route shown by the thick line in FIG. That is, the banknotes that cannot be identified (false, double-feed, skew, etc.) are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20, and are stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b and 40c and the banknotes that are identified as true and dirty. True and positive banknotes that cannot be cut are temporarily stored and stored in the feeding section 40.
The banknotes sent from the banknote intake section 32 to the temporary storage section 33a of "a" and identified as true and correct are appropriately turned upside down section 30.
After the front and back sides have been sorted by passing through, the temporary storage sections 33a to 33 of the temporary storage / storage delivery sections 40a to 40c.
The bills are sent from the respective bill accepting units 32 to the corresponding one of c. At this time, the temporary storage units 33a to 33c are
The shutters 36 and 36 are closed,
The shutter 36 is provided for the banknotes sent from the banknote taking-in section 32,
The storage space 37 above 36 is temporarily stored.

Specifically, among the bills that are identified as true and positive, all the bills are temporarily stored in the temporary storage portion 33b of the temporary storage / storing / feeding portion 40b for all the bills, and the 1,000 bills are for the thousands. It is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 33c of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40c. Here, the other 2,000 tickets and 5,000 tickets are mixed and stored in the temporary storage section 33 of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a.
It is temporarily stored in a. Furthermore, the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 4
As described above, in the temporary storage unit 33a of 0a, each genuine and dirty bill and the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b and 40c are stored.
True and positive banknotes that cannot be stored in the bank are also sent.

When all the bills are once fed out from the bill deposit opening 21 and fed into one of the bill dispensing opening 20 and the temporary storage sections 33a to 33c of the temporary storage / storage delivery sections 40a to 40c, the control section. Opens the shutter 22 of the banknote dispensing port 20 in the closed state, and displays the identification result of the identification unit 29 on a higher-level machine (not shown). When the operator inputs a deposit confirmation operation to the higher-level machine or the operation unit 14 from the display of the higher-level machine, the control unit carries out a "storage process" described later. In this case, all the vouchers are stored in the temporary storage / storage feeding part 40b for all the vouchers from the temporary storage part 33b to the storage feeding part 38b, and the 1,000 vouchers are temporarily stored in the temporary storage / storage feeding part 40c for the thousand vouchers.
Although it will be stored in the storing and delivering section 38c from c, the other 2,000 and 5,000 notes are in a mixed state because the temporary storage and storing and delivering sections 53d and 53e are not suitable for the return processing of banknotes. In the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a suitable for the return process, the temporary storage unit 33a transfers to the storage delivery unit 38a.
It is temporarily stored in a. That is, in the flow from the “payment processing” to the “storage processing”, the two thousand tickets and the five thousand tickets are not stored in the storage and feeding parts 52d and 52e for them, and the “internal filling distribution supplementary processing” and the It is stored in the storing / feeding units 52d and 52e by the storing process. On the other hand, the operator cancels the deposit operation by using the host machine or the operation unit 14
When input to, the control unit will perform a "return process" described later.

When the "payment processing" operator inputs the "payment processing" to the host computer or the operation unit 14,
The control unit is a temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40b, 40 for each denomination.
c, 53d, and 53e, the respective storage feeding portions 38b, 3
The banknotes stored in 8c, 52d, and 52e are separated by one from the lowest banknote in the banknote payout units 39 and 54, and fed out, and the thick lines in FIG. It is conveyed along the withdrawal processing route shown, and is distributed based on the discrimination result of the discriminating unit 43 in the middle thereof. That is, the abnormal conveyance bill determined to be double-fed or skewed by the discriminating unit 43 is sent to the reject storing unit 44, and the discriminating unit 43
The banknotes that are determined to be normal are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20, and the banknotes that are determined by the determination unit 43 not to be included in the dispensed banknotes in terms of denomination or number of sheets are temporarily used as an operation cassette. Temporary storage unit 33a of the storage / storage delivery unit 40a
To temporarily store. Then, when all the bills dispensed for dispensing are sent to the reject storing unit 44, the bill dispensing port 20 and the temporary storing unit 33a, the temporary storing unit 3

The banknotes (mainly 2,000 notes and 5,000 notes) stored in the storing and delivering section 38a by the "internal filling distribution supplementing processing" and the "payment processing" are temporarily stored and stored in the storing and delivering section 4 by denomination.
When bills are replenished in 0b, 40c, 53d, and 53e, when the execution input of the "internal filling distribution replenishment process" is input to the operation unit 14, the control unit (not shown) causes the storage feeding unit 38a to move to the bottom. 7 will be separated and fed out one by one, and the fed bills will be configured by the predetermined portions of the transport paths 28 and 42 and the bill accepting section 32. The sheet is conveyed by, and is sorted based on the discrimination result of the discriminating section 43 and the discrimination result of the discriminating section 29 on the way.

That is, the discrimination unit 43 cannot discriminate (double feed,
Since it has been already confirmed that the bills that are skewed) are not counterfeit bills at the time of deposit processing, the bills that have been sent to the reject storage unit 44 and identified as dirty are temporarily stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a. The bill is taken into the storage unit 33a from the bill taking unit 32. At this time, in the temporary storage unit 33a, the shutters 36, 36 are closed, and the banknotes sent from the banknote loading unit 32 are temporarily stored in the storage space 37 above the shutters 36, 36. Then, the other bills are passed through the front / back reversing unit 30 as appropriate to arrange the front and back sides, and then the temporary storage units 33b, 33 for each denomination.
It is sent to the corresponding one of c, 51d and 51e from the respective bill accepting sections 32 and 50. At this time, the temporary storage units 33b and 33c are respectively connected to the shutters 36 and 36.

Then, the elevator 58 is lowered to the lowest position.

[Sort and Counting Process] In the process of counting and separating the designated denominations from bills in which plural denominations are mixed,
When a banknote is set in the banknote deposit opening 21 by the operator and the execution input of the “sorting counting process” is made on the operation unit 14,
The control unit (not shown) separates the bills one by one by the bill deposit port 21 and feeds the bills, and the fed bills are configured by the transport path 28 and predetermined portions of the bill take-in unit 32. Are conveyed along the sorting and counting process route indicated by a thick line, and are sorted based on the discrimination result of the discriminating unit 29 in the middle thereof.

That is, it is impossible to identify (false, double feed, skew, etc.)
Corresponding banknotes, banknotes identified as true and dirty, banknotes of denominations that are not designated as true and positive, and denominations that are designated as true and positive and that correspond to the temporary storage units 33a to 33c. The banknotes that cannot be stored in the banknotes are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20, and among the true and positive banknotes, the specified denomination of the banknote passes through the front / back reversing unit 30 to turn the front and back. After being sorted, the temporary storage units 33a to 33c are sorted by denomination.
The corresponding bills are sent from the respective bill accepting sections 32. At this time, in the temporary storage units 33a to 33c, the shutters 36 and 36 are in the closed state, respectively, and the bills sent from the bill taking unit 32 are shutters 36 and 3.
The storage space 37 above 6 is temporarily stored.

Specifically, for example, in the case of sorting and counting 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 notes, among the banknotes that are identified as true and positive, the unspecified tenth banknote is the banknote withdrawal. Mouth 20
The 2,000 tickets are stored in the temporary storage section 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a, the 1,000 tickets are stored in the temporary storage section 33b of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b, and the 5,000 tickets are stored temporarily. It is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 33c of the storage and delivery unit 40c.

Then, all the bills are once fed out from the bill deposit port 21, and the bill dispense port 20 and the temporary storage section 3 are provided.
When fed to any of 3a to 33c, the control unit
The shutter 22 of the banknote dispensing port 20 in the closed state is opened, and the identification unit 2 indicates that the sorting and counting process is completed.
It is displayed on a host machine (not shown) together with the identification result of 9. When the operator inputs a rearrangement counting completion confirmation operation from this display to the higher-level machine or the operation unit 14, the control unit performs a "return process" described later.

"Return Process" When the operator inputs a deposit cancel operation to the higher-level machine or the operation unit 14 based on the display of the higher-level machine as a result of the "payment processing", and the "rearrangement counting process" is completed. When the operator inputs a rearrangement counting completion confirmation operation to the higher-level machine or the operation unit 14 from the display of the higher-level machine to that effect, the control unit permits the return process and allows the middle-layer unit 25 to be withdrawn from the machine body 10.

When this return processing is permitted (at this time, a banknote exists in any of the temporary storage units 33a to 33c)
In the control section, the control unit controls one of the lamps 89 on the operator side, which is currently occupied, among the lamps 89 provided near the handles 81 on both the left and right sides of the middle layer unit 25.
Lights up or blinks.

That is, the control unit controls whether the "payment process" or the "rearrangement / counting process" is performed on either the left or right operation unit 1.
It is recognized whether or not the operation is being performed by the operation input from 4. For example, the deposit processing or the sorting counting processing is performed by the input to the operation unit 14 on the left side which is operated by the operator on the left side. If this time is a series of return processes, only the left lamp 89 of the left and right lamps 89 is turned on or blinks, while the right operator operates the right operation unit 14 to perform an operation. If the deposit process or the sorting count process is performed and this time is a series of return processes, only the right lamp 89 of the left and right lamps 89 is turned on or blinked.

As a result, the operator recognizes that the coin depositing / dispensing machine is occupied by himself / herself by lighting or blinking the lamp 89 on his / her own side, and at the same time, the operator puts his / her hand in the concave portion 84 of the handle 81 near the lamp 89. By inserting and pulling the locking plate portion 82 and the locking projection portion 83 on the front side of the recessed portion 84 while locking, the middle layer unit 25 is pulled out as shown in FIGS. 3 and 10, and the temporary storage portions 33a to 33c. I will take out the banknotes from.
