Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a recycle type banknote depositing / dispensing machine for storing deposited banknotes and delivering the stored banknotes for dispensing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a financial institution such as a bank takes in banknotes to be deposited one by one, identifies and sorts out the denomination and the like of the taken-in banknotes, and temporarily stores and stores them in a denomination. While temporarily storing in the upper temporary storage unit, as needed, the banknotes are stored in the storage and delivery unit below the temporary storage and storage and delivery unit, and the banknotes stored in the storage and delivery unit are further processed in the dispensing process. A recycle type banknote depositing / dispensing machine that dispenses money as banknotes for dispensing is used. Such a bill depositing / dispensing machine has already been disclosed in JP-A-1-2963.
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 97.

In the temporary storage / storage delivery section of this bill depositing / dispensing machine, the temporary storage section provided at the upper portion has a slide opening / closing type partition member, and the thickness direction is made substantially orthogonal to the inserting direction. Banknotes that are inserted from the side in a posture are temporarily stored on this partition member, and if necessary, the partition member is opened so that the banknote can be moved up and down from the temporary storage section to the lower storage section. It is designed to be dropped and stored on a table. Further, when feeding out the bills stored in the storage unit, by lowering the bill mounting table and pressing the bills in the storage unit from above with a bill press member dedicated to the bill press that can advance and retreat with respect to the storage unit. By sufficiently generating a frictional force for feeding, the bill is fed by the lower bill feeding portion.

[0004]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional banknote depositing / dispensing machine, since the temporary storage portion has the slide opening / closing partition member, there is a space for allowing the sliding of these partition members. It was necessary on both outsides of the temporary storage / storage delivery section. As a result, there is a problem that the entire body of the bill depositing / dispensing machine becomes large.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bill depositing / dispensing machine capable of downsizing the entire machine body.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a bill depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with a pusher capable of ascending / descending and an ascending / descending below the pusher. Inserted from the side between the provided banknote loading table and the pusher positioned above, which is urged by a spring member in a horizontal state and can swing downward against the urging force. An upper flapper that forms a temporary storage part for temporarily storing the bills, and a spring member that is provided below the upper flapper and is urged by a spring member to a horizontal state and swings downward against the urging force. It is made possible, and a storage unit for storing the bills pushed from the temporary storage unit by the pusher,
And a lower flapper formed between the banknote placing table located on the lower side.

As a result, the bills inserted from the side are temporarily stored in the temporary storage portion formed by the pusher and the upper flapper in a state of being horizontally aligned, and the pusher is lowered to move the upper flapper downward. The banknotes and pushers pass through the upper flapper while swinging, and the banknotes and pushers pass through the lower flapper while swinging the lower flapper downward, and the banknotes are stored in the storage section between the lower flapper and the banknote loading platform. Push in. Therefore, since the partition member for partitioning the temporary storage part and the storage part is not structured to slide, it is not necessary to provide a space for allowing the partition member to slide on both outer sides. Moreover, since the temporary storage section and the storage section are partitioned by the upper and lower two stages of the upper flapper and the lower flapper, a space can be formed between the temporary storage section and the storage section, and these can be reliably separated.

A bill depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 2 of the present invention is
According to a first aspect of the present invention, the bill mounting table is constantly urged upward by a urging unit, and holds the bill in the storage unit between the bill and the lower flapper.

As described above, since the bill mounting table is always urged upward by the urging means and the bills in the storage portion are sandwiched between the lower flapper, the bills in the storage portion are stably held. You can keep it.

A bill depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 3 of the present invention is
The area of the upper flapper is set to be larger than the area of the lower flapper.

As described above, the area of the upper flapper is set larger than that of the lower flapper, and the throwing attitude is not stable because the flapper is thrown in from the side. As a result, particularly or partly in other portions. Since the upper flapper, on which the bills that easily enter the bill are placed, has a large area, it is possible to efficiently prevent the bills from entering the other parts.

The banknote depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 4 of the present invention is
According to any one of claims 1 to 3, the swing radius of the upper flapper is set to be larger than the swing radius of the lower flapper.

As described above, the swing radius of the upper flapper is set larger than the swing radius of the lower flapper, and the throwing posture is not stable because the swing is performed from the side. As a result,
In particular, since the upper flapper, on which a bill, which is easily partially or wholly inserted into another portion, is placed has a long projecting shape, it is possible to efficiently prevent the bill from entering another portion.

The banknote depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 5 of the present invention is
5. The swing radius of the upper flapper according to claim 4, wherein the swing radius of the upper flapper is set to a length equal to or less than the swing radius of the lower flapper plus the arrangement interval between the upper flapper and the lower flapper. I am trying.

Thus, the swing radius of the upper flapper is
The lower flapper swinging radius is set to a length that is less than or equal to the sum of the arrangement intervals of the upper flapper and the lower flapper. Since it does not protrude downward, even if the upper flapper is lengthened, it is possible to suppress the effect of this on the bills in the storage section.

A bill depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 6 of the present invention is
The pusher body according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the pusher main body comes into contact with the bill when the bill is pushed from the temporary storage unit into the storage unit. The pusher body has a pair of plate-shaped members that are flat when the banknotes are pushed into the storage unit from the temporary storage unit. While passing through the upper flapper and the lower flapper while swinging the upper flapper and the lower flapper in a state of being arranged in a state of being arranged, when rising after pushing, the lower flapper presses the upper flapper and the lower flapper. The pair of plate-shaped members passes through the lower flapper while being swung about the swing shaft, and then is pressed by the upper flapper to move the pair of plate-shaped members. While swinging around a KiYurado axis is characterized by passing the upper flapper.

Thus, the pusher main body swings the upper flapper and the lower flapper with the pair of plate-shaped members arranged in a plane when pushing the bills from the temporary storage section into the storage section while swinging the upper flapper and the lower flapper. Since the bill passes through the lower flapper, the banknote can be reliably pushed into the storage unit from the temporary storage unit. On the other hand, when the pusher body rises after being pushed in, the pusher main body is pushed by the lower flapper to fold the pair of plate-shaped members around the swing axis while being folded so that the pusher body passes through the lower flapper. After that, the upper flapper and the lower flapper pass through because the pair of plate-shaped members pass through the upper flapper by being pressed by the upper flapper so as to be folded while swinging around the swing shaft. Even if it can swing only in the direction, it can pass through these well.

The banknote depositing / dispensing machine according to claim 7 of the present invention is
The bill feeding unit for feeding bills according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein a bill feeding unit feeds the bills in the storage unit by the bill feeding unit in a state where the bill loading table is lowered. It is characterized by that.

In this way, the bills in the storage portion can be fed out by the bill feeding portion while the bill loading table is lowered.

The connecting pin 93 of the connecting mechanism portion 87 of the lower plate portion 83 is retracted with respect to the lower surface 109 of 7 so as not to overlap in the horizontal direction, and the integrated connection to the upper and lower pushers 57 is released. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, each pusher 57 is released from the connection to the elevating part 79, and can be moved up and down relatively to the elevating part 79, so that the banknote is pressed by its own weight. It will be possible. It should be noted that the elevating part 79 is located at this connection release position by determining that the pusher position sensor 138 provided at a predetermined height position detects the shield plate 200 of the pusher 57 immediately after the connection is released. To be done.

As described above, the elevating mechanism 70 is moved up and down.
By lowering from the upper limit position shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 in the upper ascending / descending range, the pusher 57 of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d is connected to the elevating section 79 and descends integrally therewith, and the temporary storage section When the temporarily stored banknotes are placed on the upper flapper 56A of 51d, the temporarily stored banknotes are pressed from the upper side by the lower surfaces of the front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 which are flat. More specifically, the pusher 57 is supported by the support pins 86 of the elevating part 79 and descends together with the elevating part 79. By being restricted, the lower surface 109 of the concave portion 107 causes the connecting pin 93 of the ascending / descending portion 79 to move.
The abutment part 7 comes into contact with the elevating part 7 including the connecting pin 93.
9 is forcibly lowered. When the temporary storage banknotes are pushed down from above by descending in a state of being connected to the elevating part 79 in this way, the temporary storage / storage delivery part 5
The 3d pusher 57 includes a front plate 115 and a rear plate 11.
While keeping the lower surfaces of 6 flat, the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B are pressed directly or through a bill to open downward while operating the lower flapper 56B.
It will be lowered to a position beyond that, that is, to the storing and delivering section 52d (see FIG. 8).

In synchronization with the above, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 5
The pusher 57 of 3e is also connected to the elevating section 79 and descends integrally therewith, and the upper flapper 56 of the temporary storage section 51e.
When the temporarily stored banknotes are placed on A, the temporarily stored banknotes are pressed from the upper side by the lower surfaces of the front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 which are flat with each other. When the temporary storage banknotes are pushed down from above by descending in the connected state with the elevating part 79 in this way, the pusher 57 of the temporary storage / storage delivery part 53e is pushed.

It will descend to the feeding section 52e (see FIG. 8).

In the above, the amount of the temporarily stored banknotes may be different between the temporary storage / storing / feeding units 53d and 53e. The lower surface 109 of the concave portion 107 is pressed by the connecting pin 93 of the elevating part 79 and the pusher 57 descends. It may be supported and lowered by its own weight.

Then, the temporary storage / storage delivery portions 53d, 5
In any of 3e, when there is a new stored bill that has exceeded the lower flapper 56B due to the pressing by the pusher 57, the new stored bill has already been placed on the lower flapper 56B and the bill tray 58 or the bill tray 58. It is pushed between the stored bills and the bill tray 58 is lowered against the biasing force of the tension spring 122 in response to the pushing. As a result, the pusher 57 and the bill mounting table 58 sandwich the newly stored bill together with the already stored bill in alignment.

Here, the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d, 5
In any of 3e, when the pusher 57 lowers and stops the elevating part 79 to a connection release position that completely crosses the lower flapper 56B, the lower flapper 56B and the upper flapper 56A return to the horizontal state immediately before the stop. On the other hand, in the uncoupling position, the pusher 5
The connection of 7 to the elevating part 79 is released. Then, the pusher 57, the bill, and the bill mounting table 58 are integrally lifted by the biasing force of the tension spring 122.

At this time, in the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 53d, when the storage amount of the stored banknotes between the pusher 57 and the banknote loading platform 58 is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, the banknote loading platform 58 that rises moves up and down in the lifting unit 79. Before the pusher 57 abuts the lower flapper 56B before the support pin 86 of the upper plate portion 82 abuts, the pusher 57 is restrained from rising, and the pusher 57, the bill, and the bill tray 58 are attached.
And will stop. On the other hand, when the storage amount of the stored banknotes between the pusher 57 and the banknote mounting table 58 is less than a predetermined amount, the banknote mounting table 58 that rises is the upper plate portion 8 of the elevating unit 79.
The pusher 57, the bill, and the bill loading platform 58 are stopped by abutting the second support pin 86 and restricting the rise.
At this time, a gap may be formed between the pusher 57 and the lower flapper 56B.

Similarly, in the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 53e, when the storage amount of the stored banknotes between the pusher 57 and the banknote loading platform 58 is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount, the banknote loading platform 58 that rises is the lifting unit 79. Before the pusher 57 comes into contact with the lower flapper 56B and its rising is restricted before coming into contact with the support pin 86 of the lower plate portion 83, the pusher 57, the bill, and the bill loading platform 58 are stopped. On the other hand, when the storage amount of the stored banknotes between the pusher 57 and the banknote mounting table 58 is less than a predetermined amount, the banknote mounting table 58 that rises is the lower plate portion 83 of the elevating part 79.
Of the pusher 5 by contacting the support pin 86 of the
7, the banknotes, and the banknote mounting table 58 are stopped. At this time, a gap may be formed between the pusher 57 and the lower flapper 56B.

Not provided.

Each processing of the bill deposit / withdrawal section 11 described above will be described.

[Deposit process (before confirming deposit)] When a banknote to be deposited by the operator is set in the banknote deposit port 21 and execution input of "deposit process" is made on the operation unit 14, a control unit (not shown) causes a banknote deposit process. 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. 19 which is constituted by the predetermined portion of the conveying path 28 and the bill taking-in section 32, and is sorted based on the discrimination result of the discriminating section 29 on the way. That is, the unidentifiable banknotes including the counterfeit banknotes, the banknotes that are determined to be conveyance abnormal banknotes such as double-feed, skew, etc. are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20, and are identified as genuine and dirty among the banknotes that are determined to be genuine notes. Banknotes and true and positive banknotes that cannot be fully stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b, 40c are sent from the banknote intake unit 32 to the temporary storage unit 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a, and other true banknotes. The banknotes that are identified as positive are properly passed through the front / back reversing unit 30 so that the front and back are sorted, and then the banknotes corresponding to one of the temporary storage units 33a to 33c of the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40a to 40c, respectively. It is sent from the banknote taking-in section 32. At this time, the temporary storage unit 33a
The shutters 36, 36 are closed, and the bills 33 to 33c temporarily store the banknotes sent from the banknote loading unit 32 in the storage space 37 above the shutters 36, 36.

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 and feeding portion 40b for all the bills, and the thousands 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.

Then, when all the bills are once fed out from the bill deposit opening 21 and fed into any 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, the 2,000 and 5,000 tickets are not stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d and 53e in the flow from the “payment processing” to the “storage processing”, and are processed by the “internal filling distribution supplement processing” described later. It is stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d and 53e. On the other hand, when the operator inputs a deposit cancel operation to the higher-level machine or the operation unit 14, the control unit performs a "return process" described later.

When the "payment process" operator inputs the "payment process" 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
20. 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 are configured by predetermined portions of the transport paths 42 and 28.
Are conveyed along the withdrawal processing route indicated by a thick line, and are distributed based on the discrimination result of the discriminating unit 43 in the middle thereof.

That is, the banknotes determined to be normal by the determination unit 43 are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20 while the determination unit 4 is operated.
Among the bills determined to be abnormal in 3, all the conveyance abnormal bills determined to be double-fed and skew are sent to the reject storage unit 44, and further, among the bills determined to be abnormal in the determination unit 43, except the conveyance abnormality. The banknotes that have been determined to be the same, that is, the unidentifiable banknotes and the dirty banknotes, are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a as the operation cassette.

At this time, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d,
When paying out the dispensed banknote from at least one of the storing and feeding units 52d and 52e of 53e, the control unit (not shown) causes the raising / lowering unit 79 in the standby state to move up and down.
With 0, the upper limit position is lowered to the lower limit position. Then, the pushers 57 of both the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d and 53e are lowered in a state of being integrally connected to the elevating unit 79, and the pushers 57 respectively include the plurality of upper flappers 5
While swinging 6A downward, these upper flappers 56A
After passing over the lower flappers 56B, the lower flappers 56B are swung downward to pass over the lower flappers 56B. At that time, the pusher 57 presses the upper portion of the stored bill that was held by the lower flapper 56B. After that, the pusher 57 is released from the connection with the elevating part 79 and is placed on the stored bills only by its own weight.
9 lowers the bill tray 58 to the feeding position. Then, the front end side of the stored banknote is placed on the feeding base 132, and the pusher 57 presses the banknote by its own weight to function as a bill press. Then, among the storing and feeding units 52d and 52e, only the one for feeding the bills is driven to drive the kicking roller 133 and the separating rollers 134 and 135 of the bill feeding unit 54 to feed the bills one by one to the transport path 42. .

On the other hand, temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d, 53
When the payout of the dispensed bills by the storage and feeding units 52d and 52e of e is completed, the lifting mechanism unit 70 raises the lifting unit 79 from the lower limit position to the upper limit position. Then, in each of the temporary storage / storage delivery portions 53d and 53e, the tension spring 1
The bill loading platform 58 rises together with the elevating unit 79 by the urging force of 22. And below the plurality of lower flappers 56B,
The elevating part 79 integrally connects both pushers 57. Then, the pushers 57 that ascend together with the elevating part 79 come into contact with the lower flapper 56B, respectively.
After the front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 are folded over by B, and they are passed over, the upper flapper 56A is similarly passed over. When each pusher 57 crosses the lower flapper 56B, the upper portion of the stored bill held by the pusher 57 is pushed by the lower flapper 56B in the horizontal state, and the bill loading table 58 is biased by the tension spring 122.
Presses the stored bill against the lower flapper 56B, and as a result, holds the stored bill between the lower flapper 56B and the bill mounting table 58. When the elevating part 79 rises to the upper limit position, the pusher 57 connected to the elevating part 79 comes into contact with the contact member 137, reaches the guide position, and enters the standby state.

When all the bills dispensed for withdrawal are sent to the reject storage unit 44, the bill dispensing port 20 and the temporary storage unit 33a, the temporary storage unit 33a opens the shutters 36, 36. , Banknotes are dropped on the flappers 46, 46 of the storage and feeding unit 38a in the closed state. The banknotes placed on the flappers 46, 46 are dropped from the flappers 46, 46 downward at appropriate timings and stored in the storage space 49 of the storage / feeding unit 38a.

As described above, among the bills delivered from the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b, 40c, 53d, and 53e of the respective denominations during the withdrawal process, the bills determined to be abnormal in conveyance by the discriminating unit 43 are identified as the bills. While the bills are stored in the reject storing unit 44 that is stored so as to be unable to be fed out, all the banknotes that are determined to be indeterminable by the determination unit 43 are stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a that is shared by multiple denominations. Then, in the temporary storing / storing and feeding section 40a shared by a plurality of denominations, the stored bills are discriminated by the discriminating section 43 and temporarily discriminated by the discriminating section 29 by the "internal filling / dispensing and supplementing process" described later.・ Storing and feeding section 40b, 40c, 53d, 53e
Among the corresponding denominations, the money is distributed and stored, and in the subsequent “disbursement processing”, the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40 of each denomination is carried out.
Since the banknotes b, 40c, 53d, and 53e are to be withdrawn, regardless of the denomination of the banknote that is determined to be an unidentifiable banknote during the withdrawal process, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b is performed by this distribution and storage. , 40c, 53d, 53e of appropriate denomination, and the money is withdrawn from here.

[Payment Port Distribution Replenishment Processing] When the bills are replenished from the bill insertion port 21 to the storage feeding units 38b, 38c, 52d, 52e of the temporary storage / storage feeding units 40b, 40c, 53d, 53e of the denominations, the operator When the replenished banknotes are set in the banknote deposit opening 21 by the input and the execution input of the "deposit opening distribution replenishment process" is made to the operation unit 14, the control unit (not shown) separates the banknotes one by one by the banknote deposit opening 21. Will be fed out, and the bills thus fed out will be fed to the transport path 2
21, which are composed of predetermined portions of the banknote taking units 32 and 50 and the banknote take-in units 32 and 50, are conveyed along the deposit port distribution replenishment processing route indicated by a thick line in FIG.

That is, the banknotes which are discriminated by the discriminating unit 29 as unidentifiable banknotes including false banknotes, and abnormally conveyed banknotes such as double feed and skew are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20 and are identified as true and dirty. The banknotes are sent from the banknote take-in section 32 to the temporary storage section 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a. 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 banknotes that are identified as true and positive are passed through the front / back reversing unit 30 as appropriate, so that the front and back are sorted, and then the temporary storage unit 33b for each denomination is obtained.
The corresponding one of 33c, 51d, and 51e is fed from each bill accepting section 32 and 50. At this time, the temporary storage units 33b and 33c are respectively connected to the shutters 36 and
Since 36 is in the closed state, the bills taken in from the bill taking-in section 32 are to be temporarily stored in the storage space 37 above the shutters 36, 36, and the temporary storing sections 51d, 51e.
Respectively, the flappers 56, 56 are closed, and the bills taken in from the bill taking-in section 50 are put into the flapper 5 respectively.
It will be temporarily stored in the upper storage space 60 of 6,56.

Specifically, all the vouchers are temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 33b of the temporary storage / storage feeding part 40b for all the vouchers, and the 1,000 vouchers are temporarily stored in the temporary storage / storage feeding part 40c for the thousand vouchers. It is temporarily stored in 33c, the 2,000 tickets are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 51d of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d, and the 5,000 tickets are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 51e of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53e. Further, each genuine and dirty bill is sent to the temporary storage unit 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a.

At this time, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d,
When the banknotes are temporarily stored in any of the temporary storage units 51d and 51e of 53e, the temporary storage / storage feeding unit is in the standby state in which the lifting / lowering unit 79 is raised to the upper limit position by the lifting / lowering mechanism unit 70. In any of 53d and 53e, the pusher main body 105 is such that the lower surfaces of the front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 are flat with respect to each other.
It is located at a guide position where the front side plate 115, that is, the bill taking-in section 50 side is inclined so as to be positioned on the upper side. As a result, in both the temporary storage section 51d of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d and the temporary storage section 51e of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53e, the banknotes inserted from the side by the banknote intake section 50 are pushed by the pusher 57. The upper flapper 56A is guided so that the charging tip side is gradually positioned downward.
It will be placed while being well integrated on top.

Then, all the banknotes are once delivered from the banknote pay-in port 21, and the banknote pay-out port 20 and the temporary storage section 3 are provided.
When sent out to any of 3a to 33c, 51d, and 51e, the control unit opens the shutter 22 of the banknote dispensing port 20 which is in the closed state, and the identification unit 29 identifies that the replenishment process is completed. It is displayed together with the result on a host machine (not shown). When the operator inputs a replenishment completion confirmation operation from the display of the host machine to the host machine or the operation unit 14, the control unit performs the "storage process" described later.

The banknotes (mainly 2,000 notes and 5,000 notes) stored in the storing and delivering section 38a of the temporary storing and storing and delivering section 40a by the "internal filling distribution supplementing processing" and the "payment processing" are temporarily stored by the denomination. Storing and feeding parts 40b, 40c, 53d,
In the case of replenishing 53e, when the execution input of the "internal filling distribution replenishing process" is made to the operation unit 14, the control unit (not shown) separates the bottommost bills one by one from the storing and feeding unit 38a. The fed bills are fed along the internal filling distribution replenishment processing route indicated by the thick line in FIG. 22, which is composed of the predetermined portions of the feeding paths 28 and 42 and the bill taking-in portion 32, and the midway judgment is made. It sorts based on the discrimination result of the section 43 and the discrimination result of the discriminating section 29.

That is, since it has already been confirmed at the time of the deposit processing that the banknotes that have been determined as the double feeding or the skewed conveyance abnormality by the discriminating section 43 are not counterfeit, the reject storing section 44
The other banknotes are sent to the identification unit 29. Then, the banknotes that are discriminated as unidentifiable and soiled by the discriminating unit 29 are sent from the bill taking-in unit 32 to the temporary storing unit 33a of the temporary storing / storing and feeding unit 40a. 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, after the other bills are properly passed through the front / back reversing unit 30, the front and back are arranged,
The bills are fed into the corresponding one of the denomination-based temporary storage units 33b, 33c, 51d, and 51e from the bill taking units 32 and 50, respectively. At this time, the temporary storage units 33b and 33c
Has the shutters 36 and 36 closed, respectively.
6 and 36 are temporarily stored in the storage space 37 on the upper side, and the temporary storage sections 51d and 51e have the flappers 56 and 56 in the closed state, respectively, and the banknotes taken in from the banknote loading section 50 are stored in the flapper 56. , 56 is temporarily stored in the upper storage space 60.

More specifically, 10,000 tickets are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 33b of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b for all tickets, and 1,000 tickets are temporarily stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40c for 1000 tickets. It is temporarily stored in 33c, the 2,000 tickets are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 51d of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d, and the 5,000 tickets are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 51e of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53e. Further, since each of the banknotes that are genuine and damaged by the depositing process are stored in the temporary storage section 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a, such banknotes are again stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a. It is sent to the part 33a. It should be noted that the 2,000 and 5,000 tickets at the time of deposit are temporarily stored and stored in the mixed state 40 in order to handle the return processing.
It is stored in a, and thereafter, in such an “internal filling / dispensing / replenishing process”, it is distributed to each of the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d and 53e for dispensing.

At this time, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d,
When the banknotes are temporarily stored in any of the temporary storage units 51d and 51e of 53e, the pusher main body 105 is also provided in any of the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d and 53e in the same manner as the “payment port distribution replenishment process”. Is located at the guide position, the temporary storage unit 5 of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 53d
1d and the temporary storage section 5 of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53e
In any of 1e, the banknotes inserted from the side by the banknote take-in unit 50 are guided by the pusher 57 so that the insertion tip side is gradually positioned downward and placed while being favorably accumulated on the upper flapper 56A. Will be.

In this way, the storage and feeding section 38a is sequentially operated.
The banknotes stored in the temporary storage units 33b, 33c,
When any one of them is fed to 51d and 51e and becomes full, the control unit once stops the feeding of the bills from the storing and feeding unit 38a, and temporarily stores the bills.
For c, the shutters 36, 36 are opened, and the banknotes placed on the shutters 36, 36 are brought close to the shutters 36, 36 and are in a closed state, and the storage and delivery units 38b, 3 are in standby.
The banknotes are delivered to the flappers 46, 46 of 8c, and the banknotes placed on the flappers 46, 46 are shutters 36, 46.
36 so that the shutter 36,
36 is closed to empty the temporary storage parts 33b and 33c. On the other hand, with regard to the temporary storage parts 51d and 51e, the upper flappers 56A and 5e
6A and the lower flappers 56B, 56B are opened to deliver the bills to the bill placement table 58, and then the pusher 57 is raised to the guide position to sandwich the bills between the lower flappers 56B, 56B and the bill placement table 58. Let In addition, the above operation is performed by the temporary storage units 33b, 33c,
It may be performed only for one of 51d and 51e that has become full, but in order to reduce the number of interruptions of feeding from the storing and feeding unit 38a, all of them including those that are not full as described above may be performed. Try to do about.

Then, the closing operation of the shutters 36, 36 of the temporary storage portions 33b, 33c and the temporary storage portions 51d, 51 are performed.
When the movement of e to the guide position of the pusher 57 is completed, the control unit again causes the bill feeding unit 39 to feed the bill from the storage space 49 of the storage feeding unit 38a, and restarts the distribution and replenishment of the bill.

By repeating the above, all the banknotes are once fed out from the storage space 49 of the storing and feeding section 38a, and the reject storing section 44 and the temporary storage / storage feeding sections 40a to 40a.
0c, 53d, 53e temporary storage parts 33a to 33c, 5
When it is sent to either 1d or 51e, the control unit
The fact that the replenishment process has been completed is displayed on a higher-level machine (not shown) together with the identification result of the identification unit 29. The operator confirms the replenishment completion from the display of the host machine or the host machine or operation unit 14
When the input is input to the control unit, the control unit performs a "storage process" described later.

[External Filling Distribution Replenishing Processing] The above is
The "internal filling distribution replenishment process" for distributing and replenishing the bills stored in the storing and delivering unit 38a through the "payment process" has been described as an example.
In the case of the "external filling distribution supplementing process" in which 8a is filled and is loaded in the machine body 10 and the same distribution supplementing process is performed, basically, the same as in the "internal filling distribution supplementing process" described above, FIG.
However, since the bills sent from the storing and delivering unit 38a may include counterfeit bills, the discriminating unit 43 or the discriminating unit 29 All the unidentified banknotes including the counterfeit banknotes and the banknotes that are the abnormally conveyed banknotes such as double feed and skew are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20.

Then, the storage space 49 of the storage feeding section 38a.
When all the banknotes are once delivered from the banknotes and sent out to one of the banknote dispensing port 20 and the temporary storage units 33a to 33c, 51d, 51e, the control unit causes the shutter 22 of the banknote dispensing port 20 in the closed state. Is opened, and the fact that the replenishment process has been completed is displayed on a host machine (not shown) together with the identification result of the identification unit 29. When the operator inputs a replenishment completion confirmation operation from the display of the host machine to the host machine or the operation unit 14, the control unit performs the "storage process" described later.

"Storage processing" Temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a
40c, the banknotes and the like temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 33a to 33c are stored in the storage spaces 49 of the storage and feeding units 38a to 38c.

That is, when the deposit confirmation operation is input in the above "payment processing", or the completion of replenishment is confirmed by the "payment port distribution replenishment processing", "internal filling distribution replenishment processing" and "external filling distribution replenishment processing". When an operation is input, the control unit stores the bills in the temporary storage units 33a to 33c in the storage and feeding unit 3
8a to 38c, like the storage processing route indicated by the thick line in FIG. 24.

At this time, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a ...
For 40c, the shutters 36, 36 of the temporary storage portions 33a to 33c are opened, and the shutters 36, 3 are opened.
The bills are delivered to the flappers 46, 46 in the closed state of the storing and feeding units 38a to 38c, which are placed in close proximity to themselves or the upper portion of the bills placed thereon. continue,
The control unit lowers the flappers 46, 46 to a position where the banknotes placed thereon do not interfere with the shutters 36, 36 and closes the shutters 36, 36. Further, the flappers 46, 46 are lowered and opened so as not to interfere with the amount of bills already stored in the storage space 49, and the flapper 4 is opened.
The bills are delivered from 6, 46 onto the bills already stored in the storage space 49. After that, the flappers 46, 46 are raised to the upper standby position and closed.

"Processing when the temporary storage sections 51d and 51e are full" In the temporary storage / storage delivery sections 53d and 53e, the temporary storage section 51d,
The banknotes temporarily stored in 51e are stored and delivered in the storage and delivery units 52d, 52.
The bills stored in the temporary storage units 51d and 51e are automatically stored only when the temporary storage units 51d and 51e are full without storing the banknotes in the storage space 61 of e. It will be stored in the storage space 61. Of course, in the above "storage process", the temporary storage section 51d,
The banknotes temporarily stored in 51e are stored and delivered in the storage and delivery units 52d, 52.
You may make it store in the storage space 61 of e.

When the temporary storage units 51d and 51e are full, the control unit controls the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d and 53e.
Regarding e, the common lifting unit 79 in the standby state is lowered from the upper limit position to the connection release position by the lifting mechanism unit 70. Then, the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d, 53e
In any of the above, the pusher 57 is connected to the elevating part 79 and descends integrally therewith, pressing the banknotes placed on the upper flapper 56A and temporarily stored from the upper side, and pressing the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B. While pressing the bills to open the bills, the bills are lowered to a position beyond the lower flapper 56B.

Then, the newly stored bill that has passed the lower flapper 56B by the pusher 57 presses the lower flapper 5B.
6B and the bill mounting table 58 or the stored banknotes already mounted on the bill mounting table 58, and
In response to this pushing, the bill mounting table 58 causes the tension spring 122 to move.
It is lowered against the urging force of. As a result, the pusher 57 and the bill mounting table 58 sandwich the newly stored bill together with the already stored bill in alignment.

Here, the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d, 5
In any of 3e, when the pusher 57 lowers and stops the elevating part 79 to the connection release position where it completely crosses the lower flapper 56B, the lower flapper 56B immediately before the stop.
Then, the upper flapper 56A returns to the horizontal state, while the pusher 57 is disconnected from the elevating part 79 at the stop position. Then pusher 57
Although the bill and the bill loading platform 58 are integrally raised by the urging force of the tension spring 122, the pusher 57 does not cross the lower flapper 56B in the horizontal state.

Next, the temporary storage / storage delivery units 53d, 53
In either case of e, the lifting / lowering part 7
9 is raised again toward the upper limit position. Then, the pusher 57 is connected to the elevating part 79 in a state below the lower flapper 56B, and is pressed by the lower flapper 56B maintained in a horizontal state to resist the biasing force of the torsion spring 121 and the front side plate 115 and the rear plate. The side plate 116 is swung so as to be folded around the swing shaft 104 and passes through the lower flapper 56B. At this time, the pusher 57 passes the press on the upper portion of the stored bills to the lower flapper 56B, and as a result, the stored bills are transferred to the lower flapper 56B and the bill tray 58.
It is sandwiched by the urging force of the tension spring 122. The rising pusher 57 is then pressed by the upper flapper 56A and resists the biasing force of the torsion spring 121 to further swing the front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 so as to be folded around the swing shaft 104, and then the upper portion. After passing through the flapper 56A, the front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 are returned to the planar shape by the urging force of the torsion spring 121, and then return to the guide position to enter the standby state.

[Sort and Counting Process] In the process of counting and separating specified 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. The fed bills are configured by the transport path 28 and predetermined portions of the bill take-in unit 32 in FIG. 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, unidentifiable banknotes including counterfeit banknotes and abnormally conveyed banknotes such as double feed and skew, banknotes identified as true and dirty, and banknotes of denomination not specified as true and correct,
A denomination designated as true and positive, and the temporary storage unit 33a-
The banknotes that cannot be stored in the corresponding bank 33c are sent to the banknote dispensing port 20, and the true and positive banknotes of the designated denomination pass through the front / back reversing unit 30 as appropriate. After the front and back are collected, the bills are sent to the corresponding temporary storages 33a to 33c from the respective bill accepting units 32, depending on the type of denomination. At this time, the temporary storage unit 33a
The shutters 36, 36 are closed, and the bills 33 to 33c temporarily store the banknotes sent from the banknote loading unit 32 in the storage space 37 above the shutters 36, 36.

Specifically, for example, in the case of rearranging and counting 1,000, 2000 and 5,000 notes, among the banknotes identified as true and positive, the unspecified 10,000 notes are the banknote withdrawals. 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 banknotes are once delivered from the banknote deposit port 21, and the banknote dispensing 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 above-described deposit processing, and that the "rearrangement / counting processing" has been completed. From the display of the host computer, the operator confirms the sorting count completion confirmation operation by the host computer or the operation unit 1
When the number is input to 4, the control unit enables the middle layer unit 25 to be pulled out from the machine body 10. As a result, the operator pulls out the middle-layer unit 25 to take out the bills from the temporary storage units 33a to 33c, as shown in FIG.

"Scrutinizing process" (1) The storage / delivery section 38b of the temporary storage / storage / delivery section 40b
In the case of performing the close-up processing to determine the number of banknotes in the storage space 49 in the close-up processing storage feeding unit 38b, specifically, the number of 10,000 bills in the storage space 49, the operator operates the host machine or the operation unit 1
4, when the input for performing the close-up processing of the storing and delivering unit 38b is performed, the upper side of the flappers 46, 46 of the temporary storage unit 33b and the storing and delivering unit 38b are empty, and the control unit causes the flapper of the storing and delivering unit 38b to be empty. 46, the banknotes stored in the storage space 49 below the 46 are separated one by one from the lowermost one by the banknote feeding section 39, and are fed out.
It is conveyed along the first inspection processing route indicated by the thick line in FIG. 27, which is composed of predetermined portions 2, 2, 28, and the sorting and counting are performed based on the discrimination result of the discriminating unit 43 on the way.

That is, among the banknotes determined to be abnormal by the discriminating unit 43, the conveyance abnormal banknotes determined to be double-fed or skewed are sent to the reject storage unit 44, and among the banknotes determined to be abnormal by the discriminating unit 43. The banknotes other than the transport abnormality and the normal different-denomination banknotes determined to be other than the inspection target money are sent to the temporary storage unit 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a, and the inspection target banknotes determined to be normal by the determination unit 43. Are sent to the temporary storage section 33b of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b.

In this way, the storage and delivery section 38b is sequentially installed.
The bills stored in the bill are discriminated and counted by the discriminator 43,
When the temporary storage section 33b is fed into the temporary storage section 33b and the temporary storage section 33b becomes full, the control section once stops the delivery of the banknotes from the storage space 49 of the storage delivery section 38b, and the temporary storage section 3b.
The shutters 36, 36 of 3b are opened, and the shutter 3
The banknotes are delivered to the flappers 46, 46 in the closed state where the upper part of the banknotes placed on itself or the banknotes 6, 36 are close to each other, and the banknotes placed on the flappers 46, 46 are shutters 36, 36. The shutter 36, 36 to close the temporary storage unit 33.
Empty b. However, at this point in time, the storing and feeding unit 38
Since it is necessary to separate it from the bills stored in the storage space 49 of b, the bills on the flappers 46, 46 are not dropped into the storage space 49 below.

Then, the flapper 4 of the temporary storage section 33b is
When the banknotes are transferred to 6, 6 and the closing operation of the shutters 36, 36 is completed, the control section again causes the banknote feeding section 39 to feed out the banknotes from the storage space 49 of the storage feeding section 38b,
In the same manner as described above, the discrimination counting by the discrimination unit 43 is performed.

By repeating the above, all the stored banknotes in the storage space 49 of the storage and delivery section 38b are delivered, and the reject storage section 44, the upper side of the flappers 46, 46 of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b and the temporary storage section 33a. When the storage space 49 of the storage feeding unit 38b is emptied by being sent to one of the storage units, the control unit opens the shutters 36, 36 of the temporary storage units 33a, 33b to open the bills and flappers 46, 4.
6, the flappers 46, 46 are lowered to a position where the bills placed thereon do not interfere with the shutters 36, 36, and the shutters 36, 36 are closed. Furthermore, regarding the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b,
The flappers 46, 46 are lowered to the lowest position to be opened, the bills are delivered to the empty storage space 49, and then the flappers 46, 46 are raised to the upper standby position close to the shutters 36, 36. , Close it. For the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a, the flappers 46, 46
Is opened to a height corresponding to the amount of bills already stored in the storage space 49, and the bills are transferred from the flappers 46, 46 onto the bills already stored in the storage space 49. , 46 to the shutter 36,
It is raised to an upper standby position close to 36 and is closed.

By doing so, all the banknotes in the storage space 49 of the storage / delivery section 38b of the temporary storage / storage / delivery section 40b become normal banknotes of the denomination to be scrutinized, and the number thereof can be determined.

As described above, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b
Is a storage space 49 of the storage feeding unit 38b during the close inspection process.
When all the bills are once drawn from the empty storage space 49, normal bills out of the drawn bills are sent to the temporary storage / storage feeding unit 40b's own temporary storage unit 33b. It is a feeding section.
Then, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b, which is such a recirculation inspection type temporary storage / storage delivery section, has the storage space 49.
The bills fed into the temporary storage / storage unit 33b of the temporary storage / storing / feeding unit 40b when the bills are once fed out from the storage space 49 are once fed out and then stored in the storage space 49. become.

As described above, the discriminating unit 4 among the bills fed out from the temporary storage / storage feeding unit 40b at the time of the close inspection process.
The banknotes determined to be abnormally conveyed in 3 are stored in the reject storage section 44 that stores the banknotes in a non-feedable manner, while the banknotes determined to be indistinguishable in the determination section 43 are temporarily stored in a plurality of denominations. It will be stored in the storing and feeding unit 40a. Then, in the temporary storage / storing and feeding section 40a shared by the plurality of denominations, the "internal filling / dispensing / replenishing process" is performed.
The discriminating unit 43 discriminates the stored banknotes and the discriminating unit 29
Temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b, 40c, 5 while being identified by
3d and 53e are distributed and stored in the corresponding denomination,
In the subsequent "withdrawal process", since the withdrawal is made from the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b, 40c, 53d, 53e of each denomination, regardless of the denomination of the unidentifiable bill, Temporary storage / storage delivery unit 4 by distribution storage
0b, 40c, 53d, and 53e of appropriate denominations are stored and withdrawn from here.

(2) Scrutinizing process of the storing and feeding unit 38c of the temporary storage / storing and feeding unit 40c A scrutinizing process for determining the number of banknotes in the storing space 49 in the storing and feeding unit 38c, specifically, the number of thousands of bills in the storing space 49. In this case, the temporary storage section 33b and the storage and delivery section 38b are replaced with the temporary storage section 33c and the storage and delivery section 38c in the detailed examination of the storage and delivery section 38b. That is, the banknotes in the storage space 49 of the storage and delivery section 38c are transported along the second scrutiny processing route shown by the thick line in FIG. After once emptying, the fixed number of banknotes are stored in the storage space 49 of the storing and feeding unit 38c.

Like the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40b, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40c is also a recirculation inspection type temporary storage / storage delivery section.

(3) Scrutinizing process of the temporary storage / storing / feeding unit 53d When performing the scrutiny process to determine the number of banknotes of the temporary storage / storing / sending unit 53d, specifically, the number of 2,000 notes, the operator puts it into a higher order machine. Alternatively, when an input is made to the operation unit 14 during the close-up processing of the storage / delivery unit 52d, the control unit causes the elevating / lowering unit 79 in the standby state to be moved from the upper limit position by the elevating / lowering mechanism unit 70, as in the “withdrawal process”. The pusher 57 is lowered to the lower limit position so that the pusher 57 is placed on the bill only by its own weight, and the bill placing table 58 is lowered to the feeding position. Then, the kick roller 133 and the separation rollers 134 and 135 of the bill feeding unit 54 are driven only for the storage feeding unit 52d that feeds the bill to feed the bill to the conveyance path. On the other hand, when all the bills in the storage / delivery unit 52d have been delivered, the elevating / lowering unit 70 raises the elevating / lowering unit 79 from the lower limit position to the upper limit position, as in the “dispensing process”.

The banknotes delivered from the storage delivery unit 52d as described above are transported along the third scrutinizing processing route shown by the thick line in FIG. Sorting is performed based on the determination result of the determination unit 43.

That is, the abnormal conveyance bills that are determined to be double-fed or skewed by the discriminating unit 43 are sent to the reject storage unit 44, and the normal bills that are discriminated to be normal by the discriminating unit 43 are transferred to the front / back reversing unit 30 if necessary. The front and back are collected and sent to the temporary storage section 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a. Further, the banknotes that are determined to be indeterminable by the determination unit 43 are also sent to the temporary storage unit 33a of the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a.

In this way, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 53d are sequentially transferred to the temporary storage unit 33a.
When the temporary storage unit 33a becomes full, the control unit once stops the delivery of the banknotes from the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 52d, and the shutter 36 of the temporary storage unit 33a.
36 is opened, and the bills are delivered to the flappers 46, 46 in the closed state in which the shutters 36, 36 themselves or the tops of the bills placed thereon are brought close to each other, and the flappers 46,
The banknotes 46 placed thereon are lowered to a position where the banknotes placed thereon do not interfere with the shutters 36, 36, and the shutters 36, 36 are closed to empty the temporary storage section 33a.

Then, the flapper 4 of the temporary storage section 33a is

When d is emptied, the control unit opens the shutters 36, 36 of the temporary storage unit 33a to deliver the banknotes to the flappers 46, 46 of the storing and feeding unit 38a, and the flappers 46, 46.
Is lowered to a position where the banknotes placed on it do not interfere with the shutters 36, 36, the shutters 36, 36 are closed to empty the temporary storage portion 33a, and the flappers 46, 46 are further stored in the storing and feeding portion. The banknotes on the flappers 46, 46 are stored in the storage space 49 of the flapper 46, 46 by lowering the banknotes already stored in the storage space 49 of 38a so as not to interfere with the banknotes.
After storing in 9, the flappers 46, 46 are moved to the upper standby position and closed.

After that, by executing the above-mentioned "internal filling / dispensing / replenishing process", the bills stored in the storing / feeding unit 38a of the temporary storage / storage feeding unit 40a are fed out, and while being discriminated and counted by the discrimination unit 29, By sending only the banknotes to be stored in the storing and delivering section 52d, that is, 2,000 notes, to the temporary storing and storing and delivering section 53d, the banknotes of the denomination to be scrutinized are stored in the temporarily storing and storing and delivering section 53d in a fixed number. Will be.

From the above, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d
During the scrutiny process, when all the banknotes are once paid out and the inside is emptied, normal banknotes, which are the main banknotes among the paid-out banknotes, are temporarily stored and stored.
Other than the used d, it is the other-use detailed storage type temporary storage / storage delivery unit for sending to the temporary storage unit 33a of the used temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a. Then, the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53d, which is the other-use detailed examination type temporary storage / storage delivery section, is
After all the bills have been paid out from the inside, the bills sent from the temporary storage / storage feeding unit 40a, which is a used temporary storage / storage feeding unit, are stored inside.

(4) Scrutinizing process of the temporary storage / storing / feeding unit 53e When performing the scrutiny process to determine the number of banknotes in the temporary storage / storing / sending unit 53e, specifically, the number of 5,000 notes, the above-mentioned storage / sending unit For the detailed inspection process of 53d, the temporary storage unit 51
d, storing and feeding section 52d and temporary storage / storage and feeding section 53
The d is replaced with a temporary storage section 51e, a storing and feeding section 52e, and a temporary storage / storage and feeding section 53e. That is, after the banknotes are transported along the fourth scrutinizing processing route shown by the thick line in FIG. 30, which is constituted by the predetermined portions of the transport paths 42 and 28, and the temporary storage / storage delivery section 53e is emptied once,
The banknotes whose number has been determined by the "internal filling / dispensing / replenishing process" are stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery unit 53e.

(5) Scrutinizing process of the storing and feeding unit 38a of the temporary storage / storing and feeding unit 40a The scrutinizing process of the storage space 49 of the storing and feeding unit 38a is performed by the above-mentioned "internal filling" for the bills stored through the "payment process". "Distribution and replenishment process" (see FIG. 22).
While emptying the storage space 49 of the storage feeding section 38a,
Temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a-40c, 53d, 53e
The banknotes of which the denominations and the number are fixed are stacked above the flappers 46, 56A of No.
By performing the above, the banknotes of which the denominations and the number of coins have been determined are temporarily stored / stored in the storage / delivery units 38a to 38c of the storage / delivery units 40a to 40c.
It is stored in the storage space 49 of 8c and is also stored in the temporary storage / storage delivery portions 53d and 53e.

[Recovery process] Temporary storage / storage delivery section 40a
When collecting the banknotes stored in ˜40c, 53d, and 53e, when the operator inputs the collection process to the host machine or the operation unit 14, the control unit controls the temporary storage units 33b and 33c and the storage units. Feeding parts 38b, 38c
While the upper side of the flappers 46, 46 is empty, the banknotes stored in the storage space 49 of the storage and supply units 38b, 38c are separated by one from the lowermost one by the banknote supply unit 39 and supplied. Temporary storage / storage delivery unit 53
The bills stored in d and 53e are separated and fed one by one from the bottommost one by the bill feeding unit 54. Note that the payout of the banknotes from the storage / delivery parts 38b, 38c, 52d, and 52e is the same as the payout of the banknotes from the storage / delivery parts 38b, 38c, 52d, and 52e in the above “withdrawal process”. Then, these banknotes are transferred to the transport path 4
31 is constituted by 2, 28 predetermined parts, and is conveyed along the collection processing route indicated by the thick line in FIG.
Sorting is performed based on the determination result of.

That is, the abnormal conveyance bills that are determined to be double-fed or skewed by the discrimination unit 43 and the bills that are determined to be indistinguishable are sent to the reject storage unit 44, and the discrimination unit 4
The banknotes that are determined to be normal in 3 are temporarily stored / stored and fed out 4
All are sent to the temporary storage section 33a of 0a.

In this way, the bills are stored in the temporary storage section 33.
When the temporary storage section 33a is filled with the paper, the control section once controls the storing and feeding sections 38b, 38c, 52d, 5
The feeding of the bills from 2e is stopped, and the temporary storage unit 33a
Flapper 4 of the storing / feeding unit 38a that opens the shutters 36, 36 of the storage unit 38a and opens the shutters 36, 36 close to the shutters 36, 36 and the banknotes placed on the shutters 36, 36.
The banknotes are delivered to 6, 46, the flappers 46, 46 are lowered to a position where the banknotes placed thereon do not interfere with the shutters 36, 36, and the shutters 36, 36 are closed to empty the temporary storage section 33a. To

Then, the flapper 4 of the temporary storage section 33a is
When the banknotes are transferred to 6, 6 and the closing operation of the shutters 36, 36 is completed, the control unit again causes the storing and feeding units 38b, 38
The bills are dispensed from the storage spaces 49, 61 of the c, 52d, 52e by the bill dispensers 39, 54, and are fed into the temporary storage 33a in the same manner as described above.

By repeating the above, the storing and feeding parts 38b, 3
All the stored banknotes are paid out from the storage spaces 49, 61 of 8c, 52d, 52e and sent to either the reject storage part 44 or the temporary storage part 33a, and the storage spaces of the storage supply parts 38b, 38c, 52d, 52e. 49,6
When 1 is empty, the control section opens the shutters 36, 36 of the temporary storage section 33a to deliver the bills to the flappers 46, 46 of the storing and feeding section 38a, and the flappers 46, 46.
Is lowered to a position where the banknotes placed on it do not interfere with the shutters 36, 36, the shutters 36, 36 are closed, the temporary storage portion 33a is emptied, and the flappers 46, 46 are stored and fed out. Lower the banknotes already stored in the storage space 49 of the portion 38a within a range that does not interfere with the bills,
After the bills on the flappers 46, 46 are stored in the storage space 49 by opening the flappers 46, 46, the flappers 46, 46 are moved to the upper standby position and closed.

As described above, the storing and feeding parts 38b, 3
All the banknotes in the storage spaces 49, 61 of 8c, 52d, 52e are stored in the storing and feeding section 38a, the lower layer unit 26 is pulled out from the machine body 10, and the storing and feeding section 38a is taken out from the machine body 10 to collect the banknotes.

The storage / delivery parts 38b, 38c, 52
Before storing all the bills in the storage spaces 49, 61 of d, 52e in the storing and feeding section 38a, the storing and feeding section 38a may become full. At that time, the processing is interrupted when the bills are full, When the banknotes are taken out and the storage and feeding section 38a that has become empty is reloaded, the processing is restarted. It should be noted that by making at least one of the storing and delivering portions 38b and 38c attachable to and detachable from the lower layer unit 26, the storing and delivering portion 38a.
If the storage space is too large to be stored in
b, 38c may be stored and collected.

As described above, according to the coin depositing / dispensing machine of this embodiment, the temporary storage portions 51d, 51d formed by the pusher 57 and the upper flapper 56A in the horizontal state are formed.
By temporarily storing the bills inserted into the e sideward and lowering the pusher 57, the upper flapper 5
The bill and pusher 57 pass through the upper flapper 56A while swinging 6A downward, and the lower flapper 56A
While swinging B downward, the bill and the pusher 57 pass through the lower flapper 56B and push the bill into the storing and feeding parts 52d and 52e between the lower flapper 56B and the bill mounting table 58. Therefore, since the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B that partition the temporary storage portions 51d and 51e and the storing and feeding portions 52d and 52e do not have a sliding structure, there is a space for allowing the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B to slide. There is no need to install it on the outside. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the entire machine body.

Moreover, since the temporary storage sections 51d and 51e and the storage and delivery sections 52d and 52e are partitioned by the upper and lower two stages of the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B, the temporary storage sections 51d and 51e and the storage and delivery sections 52d and 52e are separated. A space can be formed between them and these can be reliably separated. Therefore, the banknotes in the temporary storage units 51d and 51e are not temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 51d and 51e, but some or all of them enter the storage and delivery units 52d and 52e,
The banknotes in the storage and delivery units 52d and 52e are stored in the storage and delivery unit 52d,
A part or all of the temporary storage part 5 is not stored in 52e.
It can prevent entering into 1d and 51e.

Further, the bill mounting table 58 is provided with a tension spring 122.
Is constantly urged upward by the storage feeding unit 52.
Since the banknotes in d and 52e are sandwiched between the lower flapper 56B and the lower flapper 56B, the banknotes in the storing and feeding units 52d and 52e can be stably held.

Furthermore, the area of the portion of the upper flapper 56A that can support the bills is set larger than the area of the portion of the lower flapper 56B that can support the bills. As a result, since the upper flapper 56A, on which the banknotes, in which some or all of the banknotes easily enter the other part, is placed has a large area, it is possible to efficiently prevent the banknotes from entering the other part. .

In addition, the swing radius of the upper flapper 56A is set to be larger than the swing radius of the lower flapper 56B, and the throwing posture is not stable because it is thrown from the side. Since the upper flapper 56A, on which all the bills that easily enter the other portion are placed, has a long protruding shape, it is possible to efficiently prevent the bills from entering the other portion.

Further, the swing radius of the upper flapper 56A is set to be equal to or less than the sum of the swing radius of the lower flapper 56B and the arrangement interval between the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B. 56A
Lower flapper 56B that swings downward even if it swings downward
Therefore, even if the upper flapper 56A is lengthened, this does not extend below the storage flaps 52d and 52e.
It is possible to suppress the influence on the banknotes.

Further, the pusher main body 105 pushes the banknotes from the temporary storage sections 51d and 51e into the storing and feeding sections 52d and 52e, the pair of front side plate 115 and rear side plate 116.
The upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B while oscillating the upper flapper 5A and the upper flapper 5A.
6A and the lower flapper 56B, the temporary storage parts 51d, 51e to the storage feeding part 52d,
The bill can be reliably pushed into the 52e. On the other hand, when the pusher body 105 rises after being pushed in, the pusher body 105
Is pressed by the lower flapper 56B so as to be folded while swinging the pair of front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 around the swing shaft 104, so that the lower flapper 5
6B, and then, by being pressed by the upper flapper 56A, the pair of front side plate 115 and the rear side plate 116 are swung about the swing shaft 104 and folded while passing through the upper flapper 56A. Therefore, even if the upper flapper 56A and the lower flapper 56B can swing only in the downward direction, they can pass through well.

Furthermore, the bills can be fed out from the bill feeding units 54d and 52e by the bill feeding unit 54 while the bill loading table 58 is lowered.

In the above embodiment, among the bills fed from the temporary storage / storage feeding units 40b, 40c, 53d and 53e, all the bills which are discriminated by the discriminating unit 43 are plural denominations. The case where the bills are stored in the shared temporary storage / storage delivery unit 40a has been described as an example. However, among the banknotes delivered from the temporary storage / storage delivery units 40b, 40c, 53d, 53e, the determination unit 43 determines that the banknotes cannot be determined. The identifying unit 29 identifies the denominations of the bills, and temporarily stores them.
You may make it accommodate in the accommodation denomination 40b, 40c, 53d, 53e of the denomination corresponding to this identification result. According to this structure, for the unidentifiable banknotes that could not be discriminated by the discriminating unit 43 for some reason other than the conveyance abnormality, the discriminating unit 29 discriminates them again and temporarily stores them.
It can be stored in a proper denomination of the storing and feeding units 40b, 40c, 53d, 53e.

[0192]

As described in detail above, the first aspect of the present invention
According to the banknote depositing / dispensing machine described above, the banknotes input from the side are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section formed by the pusher and the upper flapper in a state of being horizontally aligned, and the pusher is lowered to allow the upper flapper to descend. Bills and pushers pass through the upper flapper while swinging downwards, and bills and pushers pass through the lower flapper while swinging lower flappers downwards, and storage between the lower flapper and the bill tray Push the bills into the section. Therefore, since the partition member for partitioning the temporary storage part and the storage part is not structured to slide, it is not necessary to provide a space for allowing the partition member to slide on both outer sides. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the entire machine body.

Moreover, since the temporary storage part and the storage part are partitioned by the upper and lower two steps of the upper flapper and the lower flapper, a space can be formed between the temporary storage part and the storage part, and these can be reliably separated. Therefore, some or all of the banknotes in the temporary storage unit may not be temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit and may enter the storage unit, or some of the banknotes in the storage unit may not be stored in the storage unit and some or all may be temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit. It can prevent you from getting in.

According to the bill depositing / dispensing machine of the second aspect of the present invention, the bill loading table is always urged upward by the urging means, and the bill in the storage portion is clamped between the lower flapper. Therefore, the banknotes in the storage section can be stably held.

According to the bill depositing / dispensing machine of claim 3 of the present invention, the area of the upper flapper is set to be larger than the area of the lower flapper, and the throwing attitude is not stable because it is thrown from the side. As a result, the upper flapper, on which the banknotes, in which a part or all of them can easily enter the other part, is placed has a large area, so that the banknotes can be efficiently prevented from entering the other part.

According to the bill depositing / dispensing machine of claim 4 of the present invention, the swing radius of the upper flapper is set to be larger than the swing radius of the lower flapper, and since the bill is deposited from the side, the throwing attitude is set. It is not stable, and as a result, the upper flapper that holds the banknotes, in which some or all of them tend to enter other parts, has a long protruding shape, so that the banknotes are efficiently prevented from entering other parts. be able to.

According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the swing radius of the upper flapper is the swing radius of the lower flapper plus the arrangement interval between the upper flapper and the lower flapper. Since the upper flapper is set below, it will not protrude below the lower flapper that swings downward even if it swings downward. The influence given can be suppressed.

According to the bill depositing / dispensing machine of the sixth aspect of the present invention, the pusher main body has the pair of plate-shaped members arranged in a flat state when pushing the bills from the temporary storage section into the storage section. Since the flapper and the lower flapper are swung while passing through the upper flapper and the lower flapper, the bills can be reliably pushed into the storage portion from the temporary storage portion. On the other hand, when the pusher body rises after being pushed in, the pusher main body is pushed by the lower flapper to fold the pair of plate-shaped members around the swing axis while being folded so that the pusher body passes through the lower flapper. After that, the upper flapper and the lower flapper pass through because the pair of plate-shaped members pass through the upper flapper by being pressed by the upper flapper so as to be folded while swinging around the swing shaft. Even if it can swing only in the direction, it can pass through these well.

According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device of the seventh aspect of the present invention, the banknote pay-out section can take out the banknotes in the storage section with the banknote placing table being lowered.
