A withdrawal process executed by the banknote handling apparatus 101 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the withdrawal process, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are explanatory views for explaining the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 101 in the withdrawal process. The withdrawal process is executed by instructing each control unit when the main control unit 81 shown in FIG. 5 receives a withdrawal instruction from the host device HC via the line control unit 90. In FIG. 6, first, in step S <b> 100, preparations such as activation of each control unit for withdrawal processing are made. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage transport path 70 </ b> P so that banknotes can be transported from the first storage units 71 </ b> A to 74 </ b> A of the banknote storage 70 to the withdrawal unit 30 b or the temporary storage 50 through the banknote determination unit 40. , Activation of the discrimination conveyance path 40P, the withdrawal conveyance path 30Pb, the temporary storage conveyance path 50Pa, the switching of the gates 71Gm, 32G, 31G, and 50G, the withdrawal part 30b, the banknote discrimination part 40, and the temporary storage 50 Is activated.

  After the preparation process of each part is completed, in step S102, one of the first storage parts 71A to 74A of the banknote storage 70 is sequentially specified for the banknote specified by the host apparatus HC and the number thereof. For example, in the first process, it is assumed that the first storage unit 71A is specified. In subsequent step S104, the specified number of banknotes are separated one by one from the identified first storage unit 71A, and sent to the banknote determination unit 40 through the storage transport path 70P. In step S106, the bill discriminating unit 40 identifies authenticity, damage, denomination, overlap, etc., with respect to the bill fed out from the first storage unit 71A. Or banknote discrimination processing to determine whether it is a reject banknote. If it is determined in step S108 that the bill discriminating unit 40 is a normal bill, the process proceeds to step S110, the gate 31G is switched in the direction of the withdrawal unit 30b, and the bill is dispensed through the withdrawal delivery path 30Pb. Sent to. On the other hand, if the banknote discrimination | determination part 40 determines with it being a rejection banknote in step S108, it will progress to step S112, the gate 31G will be switched to the direction of the temporary storage 50, and a banknote will be temporarily stored through the conveyance path 50Pa for temporary storage. 50.

  In the subsequent step S114, it is determined whether all the number of banknotes instructed to be taken out from the banknote storage 70 by the main control unit 81 have been conveyed until they coincide with the number of sheets accumulated in the dispensing unit 30b. That is, it is determined whether or not the number instructed by the main control unit 81 matches the number counted based on the detection signal of the passage sensor 71Sc. If the determination in step S114 is negative, the processes from step S104 to S112 are repeated until all banknotes are taken out. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to next step S116.

  In step S116, it is determined whether the banknote instruct | indicated by the high-order apparatus HC was conveyed to the withdrawal part 30b of the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 30 (step S116). That is, the denomination is detected by the bill discriminating unit 40, and the number of sheets accumulated in the dispensing unit 30b is calculated based on the detection signal of the passage sensor 40S, and this amount matches the amount specified by the host device HC. It is judged by whether or not. If the number of banknotes instructed by the host device HC is insufficient, the process proceeds to step S118, where the insufficient number of banknotes is separated from the first storage unit 71A, and further, steps S106 to S116 are performed. Repeat the process up to. If the withdrawal instruction of the host device HC matches the amount accumulated in the withdrawal unit 30b, the process proceeds to step S120.

  In step S120, as shown in FIG. 8, it is determined whether the reject banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage 50 based on the detection signal of the sky detection sensor 50Sa. If it determines with there being a reject banknote in step S120, it will progress to step S122 and a reject banknote will be conveyed from the temporary storage 50 to the 2nd accommodating part 71B. That is, the gates 50G and 31G are switched from the temporary storage 50 to the bill discriminating unit 40, and the gates 71Gm and 71Ga are further connected from the second transport branch path 71Pb of the storage transport path 70P to the second storage section 71B. Switch to direction. Thereby, the banknote of the temporary storage 50 is conveyed from the temporary storage conveyance path 50Pa to the main storage conveyance path 71Pm, and further stored in the second storage portion 71B through the second conveyance branch path 71Pb.

  In subsequent step S124, the balance of the bill cassette 71 is calculated. That is, the current amount of the bill cassette 71 is calculated based on the original amount of the bill cassette 71 and the amount taken out from the first storage portion 71A based on the detection signal of the passage sensor 40S. Then, in the following step S126, it is determined whether the banknote processing has been completed for the other first storage units 72A to 74A of the first storage unit 71A, and if not completed, the process returns to step S102, and the step When the processing up to S124 is repeated and completed, each unit such as the transport path is stopped, and the main control unit 81 reports the end of normal withdrawal to the host device HC via the line control unit 90. Thereby, this process is complete | finished.

(4) Effects and effects of the embodiment The configuration of the above embodiment provides the following effects in addition to the effects described above.
(4) -1 According to the banknote handling apparatus 101, the banknote is paid out from the first storage portion 71 </ b> A of the specified banknote cassette 71 in accordance with the withdrawal instruction of the withdrawal of the control unit 80, and the banknote discrimination is performed on the banknote thus dispensed. When it is determined that the unit 40 is a normal note, it is transported to the withdrawal unit 30b, and when it is determined to be reject paper, it is stored in the temporary storage 50, and when the banknotes are dispensed, the temporary storage 50 Is returned to the second storage portion 71B of the specified banknote cassette 71. Accordingly, since the banknotes are fed out and returned from the specified banknote cassette 71, the banknotes are not confused with the other banknote cassettes 72 to 74, the management of the number of banknotes is simple, and it is not necessary to perform a scrutiny process.

(4) -2 The total number of banknote cassettes 71 can be obtained by subtracting the number of withdrawals from the number before withdrawal. Therefore, the number of banknote cassettes 71 can be easily grasped by managing the number of withdrawals.

(4) -3 The banknote cassette 71 can be attached to and detached from the housing of the banknote handling apparatus 101 integrally with the first storage section 71A and the second storage section 71B, making it easier to manage the number of paper sheets. Become.

(4) -4 During the withdrawal process, the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 71A are once stored in the temporary storage 50, and then returned to the second storage unit 71B at a time after the processing is completed. Therefore, since the conveyance path is not reversely fed during the process, a smooth operation can be performed.

B. Second Embodiment FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a withdrawal process according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 10 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 101 in the withdrawal process. The present embodiment is a modification of step S122 described with reference to FIG. 6, and has a feature in the process of re-identifying rejected banknotes temporarily stored in the temporary storage 50 and returning them to the banknote storage 70.

  The process of FIG. 9 is executed when it is determined that there is a reject banknote in the temporary storage 50. That is, reject banknotes of temporary storage 50 are fed one by one (step S202, conveyed to banknote discriminating unit 40 (step S204). In subsequent step S206, whether banknote discriminating unit 40 is a reject banknote or not. In step S208, the banknote is sent to the first storage unit 71A through the transport path, and in step S206, the banknote determination unit 40 is again activated. If it is determined that the banknote is a reject banknote, the banknote is sent to the second storage unit 71B in step S210, and this process is repeated until the banknotes in the temporary storage 50 disappear.

  In the withdrawal process according to the above embodiment, when the banknotes drawn out from the first storage unit 71 </ b> A are once determined to be reject banknotes and stored in the temporary storage 50, they are returned to the banknote storage 70. When the bill discriminating unit 40 determines that the bill is a normal bill again, the bill is returned to the first storage unit 71A, and only those that have been determined again as reject bills are returned to the second storage unit 71B. Therefore, since the second storage unit 71B is unlikely to become full, it is possible to reduce the burden on the staff required for improvement of the operating rate and scrutiny.

  Further, the total number of bill cassettes 71 can be obtained by subtracting the number of withdrawals from the number before withdrawal. Therefore, the number of banknote cassettes 71 can be easily grasped by managing the number of withdrawals.

C. Third Embodiment FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a banknote cassette 171 according to a third embodiment. This embodiment is characterized by a configuration in which the banknote cassette 171 has three stages. That is, the banknote cassette 171 is composed of a three-stage storage unit, which stores a thousand yen ticket in the upper storage unit 171A, stores a 10,000 yen ticket in the middle storage unit 171B, and stores it in the lower storage unit 171C. And the reject banknote with the accommodating part 171A and 171B of the middle stage is accommodated. In addition, the 1st accommodating part as used in this invention is comprised by several accommodating part 171A, 171B, and the 2nd accommodating part is comprised by one accommodating part 171C.

  In the withdrawal process according to the present embodiment, the bills are dispensed from the bill cassette 171 in the three storage units 171A and 171B (thousand yen only, 10,000 yen only, 1000 yen and 10,000 yen consecutive withdrawals). When the reject banknote is generated, the reject banknote is returned to the lower storage unit 171C. Also in the present embodiment, the number of each of the 1,000 yen bill and the 10,000 yen ticket of the banknote cassette 171 can be obtained by subtracting the number of withdrawals from the number of thousand yen tickets and 10,000 yen tickets before the withdrawal. Further, the total number of banknote cassettes 171 can be obtained by subtracting the number of withdrawals from the number before withdrawal. Therefore, it is possible to omit the examination of the number of banknotes by the staff. Thus, even if the banknote cassette 171 includes a plurality of storage units 171A and 171B for feeding out banknotes, the banknotes 171 are distinguished from other banknote cassettes and returned to the storage unit 171C of the original banknote cassette 171. This makes it possible to easily manage banknotes.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the following modifications are possible.
In order to temporarily return the reject banknotes according to the above embodiment, the temporary storage is a storage that can be provided in a transport path that branches from a transport path that transports banknotes from the banknote discriminating unit to the withdrawal unit and that can be fed and accumulated. Thus, the effect of the present invention can be achieved in the same manner.

  Further, the amount of money in the cassette for banknotes may be displayed on the display screen of the banknote handling device, in addition to being output to the host device for display. Furthermore, in the said Example, although the banknote handling apparatus applied to the banknote was demonstrated, it is applicable not only to this but various paper sheets, such as securities.
