Specifically, in the reject box 18, the reject banknote storage door 39 is opened and the reject banknote is taken out, and the jam removal banknote storage door 43 is opened and the jam removal banknote is taken out.

[1-7. Effect]
In the above configuration, the reject store 18 is configured such that the jam-removed banknote storage space 44 that stores the jam-removed banknotes does not overlap the reject banknote storage space 37 along the vertical direction that is the stacking direction in which the reject banknotes are stacked. It is provided in front of a certain jam removal banknote storage space 44. Thus, the reject bank 18 can store the jam-removed banknotes in the reject bank 18 while maintaining the same height (size) as the conventional reject bank 18 and also maintaining the storage capacity of the reject banknotes.

  Further, in the reject store 18, the reject banknotes inserted from the receiving port 34A are sent out by the stacking roller unit 50 to the reject banknote storage space 37 located on the lower rear side of the receiving port 34A. Originally there was space left below.

  On the other hand, the reject box 18 is used as the jam removal banknote storage space 44 by effectively utilizing the remaining space below the stacking roller unit 50. As a result, in order to provide the reject banknote storage space 44 in the reject bank 18, the size of the reject bank 18 itself becomes larger than the conventional reject bank 18, or the storage capacity of reject banknotes in the reject banknote storage space 37 is large. It is possible to provide a space for storing the jam-removed banknote while preventing it from decreasing.

  Moreover, the rejection store | warehouse | chamber 18 was made to pierce the slit 60A in the partition plate 60. FIG. For this reason, the rejection store | warehouse | chamber 18 enables the policeman to visually observe the inside of the jam removal banknote storage space 44 via the slit 60A from the reject banknote storage space 27 side, and whether or not the jam removal banknote exists in the jam removal banknote storage space 44. Can be confirmed. As a result, the reject bank 18 has no jammed banknotes in the jammed banknote storage space 44 even though the jammed banknote storage door 43 is opened after the reject banknotes are collected at the cash center. The operation of opening the jam removal banknote storage door 43 is prevented from being wasted, and the operation can be simplified.

  According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 includes an upper transport unit 20 and a lower transport unit 22 that transport bills as a medium, a discrimination unit 14 that discriminates banknotes transported by the upper transport unit 20, and a discrimination. The reject storage 18 which stores the banknote discriminated from the reject banknote as a reject medium by the unit 14 is provided, and the reject storage 18 rejects the reject banknote storage space 37 for collecting reject banknotes and the reject banknote storage space 37. Jam-removed banknote storage space for storing a jam-removed banknote as a removal medium provided at a position that does not overlap along the up-down direction, which is the stacking direction in which banknotes are stacked, and removed from the upper transport unit 20 and the lower transport unit 22 44 and a jam removal bill insertion slot 47 for allowing the jam removal bill storage space 44 to be inserted into the jam removal bill storage space 44 from the outside. It was.

  Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can store the jam-removed banknote in the reject box 18 without affecting the reject banknote storage space 37.

[2. Second Embodiment]
The automatic teller machine 101 (FIGS. 1 and 2) according to the second embodiment is a banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110 that replaces the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 as compared with the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Although it is different in that it has, it is configured similarly in other points. The banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110 is different from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 according to the first embodiment in that it has a reject box 118 instead of the reject box 18, but is otherwise configured in the same manner. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 in which members corresponding to those in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are given the same reference numerals, the reject storage 118 is a reject banknote storage door as compared with the reject storage 18 according to the first embodiment. 39 is different in that it has a reject banknote storage door 139 instead of 39 and a jam removal banknote storage door 143 instead of the jam removal banknote storage door 43, and the side surface on the non-maintenance surface side (right side) of the reject warehouse case right side plate 34R. In addition, although a jam removal banknote outlet 62 is provided to communicate the outside and the inside of the jam removal banknote storage space 44 and allow the jam removal banknote to pass from the jam removal banknote storage space 44 to the outside, It is constituted similarly.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the jam removal banknote storage door 143 slides along the front-rear direction as shown in FIG. 16. The jam-removed banknote storage door 143 is moved to the rear to be in a jam-removed banknote storage door closed state, and covers the jam-removed banknote outlet 62 from the outside while moving to the front to remove the jam-removed banknote storage. The door is opened, and the jam removal banknote outlet 62 is exposed to the outside. Further, the jam removal banknote storage door 143 is not provided with the jam removal banknote storage door lock 45 (FIGS. 9 and 10).

  At the right end portion of the reject banknote storage door 139, it is arranged to face the jam removal banknote storage door 143 in the front-rear direction when the reject banknote storage door is closed, and the rear end of the jam removal banknote storage door 143 when the reject banknote storage door is closed. A stopper 64 that restricts rearward movement of the jam removal banknote storage door 143 is formed by abutting on the portion.

  In such a configuration, the security guard performs the same jam removal bill insertion operation as that of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment. On the other hand, at the time of the jam removal banknote collection operation, the security guard unlocks the reject banknote storage door lock 40 and opens the reject banknote storage door 139 to shift from the reject banknote storage door closed state to the reject banknote storage door open state. Collect banknotes. Thereafter, the security guard slides the jam removal banknote storage door 143 backward to shift from the jam removal banknote storage door closed state to the jam removal banknote storage door open state, and exposes the jam removal banknote exit 62 to jam. The jam-removed banknote is collected from the jam-removed banknote storage space 44 via the removed banknote outlet 62.

  Thus, the automatic teller machine 101 regulates the movement of the jam removal banknote storage door 143 by the reject banknote storage door 139 locked by the reject banknote storage door lock 40, and consequently the jam removal banknote storage door 143 is used as a result. I was locked. Thereby, since the automatic teller machine 101 can omit the jam removal banknote storage door lock 45 as compared with the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the configuration can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  Moreover, in the automatic teller machine 1 by 1st Embodiment, the reject banknote storage door lock 40 of the reject banknote storage door 39 which opens and closes the reject banknote storage space 37, and the jam removal banknote which opens and closes the jam removal banknote storage space 44 It had two locks with the jam removal banknote storage door lock 45 of the storage door 43. For this reason, in the automatic teller machine 1, during the jam removal banknote collection operation, the security guard unlocks the reject banknote storage door lock 40 to open the reject banknote storage door 39 and unlocks the jam removal banknote storage door lock 45. Since it was necessary to lock and open the jam removal banknote storage door 43 and to unlock the two locks, a complicated operation was forced.

  In contrast, the automatic teller machine 101 regulates the movement of the jammed banknote storage door 143 by the reject banknote storage door 139 locked by the reject banknote storage lock 40. Thereby, compared with the automatic teller machine 1, the automatic teller machine 101 can omit the jam removal banknote storage door lock 45, and the unlocking key can be only one of the reject banknote storage door locks 40. It is possible to simplify the operation of the guard at the time of the removal bill collection operation.

  In addition, the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment has substantially the same effect as the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

[3. Third Embodiment]
Compared with the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment, the automatic teller machine 201 according to the third embodiment (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) is a banknote depositing / dispensing machine 210 instead of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110. Although it is different in that it has, it is configured similarly in other points. The banknote depositing / dispensing machine 210 is different from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110 according to the second embodiment in that the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 210 has a reject storage temporary storage unit 226 shown in FIG. 17 instead of the reject storage temporary storage unit 26. However, it is configured similarly in other respects. The reject storage temporary storage unit 226 is different from the reject storage temporary storage unit 26 in that it has a frame 228 that replaces the frame 28 and a rear transport guide 232 that replaces the rear transport guide 32, respectively. In other points, the configuration is the same.

The banknote can be inserted into the jam-removed banknote storage space 44 through the 28A and the jam-removed banknote insertion port 47, and the convenience is maintained.

  However, in the case of the automatic teller machine 101, it is possible to insert the jam-removed banknote into the jam-removed banknote storage space 44 even if the reject bank is not separated. When found, the jam banknotes are inserted from the jam removal banknote insertion port 47, and the jam removal banknote collection operation can be completed without checking the reject storage temporary holding unit transport unit 21. In that case, there is a possibility that the jammed banknote remains in the reject storage temporary holding unit transport unit 21, which may lead to a cash trouble.

  In contrast, the automatic teller machine 201 makes the jam removal banknote insertion port 47 face the reject wall mounting portion left side wall 28L of the frame 28 in the reject storage state, so that the jam removal banknote insertion port 47 in the reject storage state. Thus, it is difficult to insert the jam-removed banknote, and it is possible to insert the jam-removed banknote from the jam-removing banknote insertion port 47 in the reject storage state. As a result, the automatic teller machine 201 opens the reject storage temporary holding section transport section 21 to the outside during the jam removal banknote insertion operation, and allows the security guard to check the remaining jammed banknotes in the reject storage temporary storage section transport path. It is possible to prevent the jammed banknote from remaining in the reject storage temporary storage unit transport unit 21.

  Moreover, the automatic teller machine 201 was made to comprise the back side conveyance guide 232 with a transparent material. As a result, the automatic teller machine 201 can allow the security guard to visually recognize the reject storage temporary holding section transport section 21 from the outside even if the rear transport guide 232 is not in the guide tilted state in the reject storage leaving state, and it is troublesome for the security guard. Can be reduced.

  In addition, the automatic teller machine 201 according to the third embodiment has substantially the same operational effects as the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment.
