Then, the banknote transport path 75 and the main transport path 71 during reverse rotation are transported toward the identification unit 81. When the banknotes in the reflux box 56 are withdrawn, the inlet / outlet transport unit 56a of the reflux box 56 is reversely driven to separate and feed out one banknote from the reflux box 56. Then, the banknote transport path 76 and the main transport path 71 that are being driven in reverse rotation transport the banknotes toward the identification unit 81. Further, when the banknotes in the reflux box 57 are withdrawn, the inlet / outlet transport part 57a of the reflux box 57 is reversely driven to separate and feed out one banknote from the reflux box 57. Then, the banknote transporting path 77 and the main transporting path 71 that are being driven in reverse are transported toward the identification unit 81. Further, when the banknotes in the reflux box 58 are withdrawn, the inlet / outlet transport unit 58a of the reflux box 58 is driven in reverse to separate and feed out one banknote from the reflux box 58. Then, the banknote is conveyed toward the identification unit 81 by the main conveyance path 71 during reverse rotation driving.

  And in any case, when the identification part 81 identifies and counts a banknote during conveyance in the main conveyance path 71, as a result, if this banknote is identified as being able to withdraw without double feeding etc., reverse rotation drive is carried out. The main transport path 71 and the branch transport path 72 and the driving entrance transport section 52 a are accommodated in the dispensing section 52. Therefore, the withdrawal part 52 withdraws the banknote that can be withdrawn out of the banknotes fed out from the reflux boxes 55 to 58 during the withdrawal process so that it can be taken out of the apparatus.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 81 identifies the banknote as being double-feeded and cannot be withdrawn, the main transport path 71, the branch transport path 73 and the entrance / exit transport section 53a that are being driven in reverse rotation are used as the withdrawal reject storage. 53. Therefore, the withdrawal reject box 53 stores banknotes that cannot be withdrawn from banknotes fed from the reflux boxes 55 to 58 during the withdrawal process.

  When the processing as described above is performed one by one for the denomination and number of banknotes specified and input, and all of the denomination and number of banknotes specified and input are stored in the withdrawal unit 52, the control unit 66 Drives the dispensing unit 52 to perform an external dispensing operation. Then, the withdrawal unit 52 collects the stored banknotes and partially projects the banknotes so that the banknotes can be taken out from the banknote outlet 42. The control part 66 will complete | finish a payment process, if a banknote is withdrawn from the banknote withdrawal port 42. FIG.

  As described above, the withdrawal unit 52 performs return of the deposit reject banknote and withdrawal of the withdrawal banknote.

Then, the entrance / exit transport unit 53 a separates the banknotes in the withdrawal reject box 53 and sends them out to the branch transport path 73, and the branch transport path 73 and the main transport path 71 during forward rotation are directed toward the identification unit 81. Transport. If the identification part 81 identifies and counts this banknote during this conveyance, and if it recognizes that recirculation | reflux use is possible, if this banknote is a banknote of the money type which should be accommodated in the recirculation | reflux store | warehouse | chamber 55, this banknote will be forward-driven. If the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 75, and the entrance / exit conveyance part 55a in the inside are the denomination banknotes which should be accommodated in the recirculation | reflux store | warehouse | chamber 55 and the recirculation | reflux store | warehouse | chamber 56, this banknote will be the main conveyance path in normal rotation drive 71, if the branch conveyance path 76 and the entrance / exit conveyance section 56a are banknotes of denominations to be stored in the reflux box 56 and the reflux box 57, the banknotes are transferred to the main conveyance path 71 and the branch conveyance path during normal rotation driving. If the 77 and the entrance / exit transport part 57a are banknotes of denominations to be stored in the reflux box 57 and the reflux box 58, the main transport path 71 and the entrance / exit transport part 58a during normal rotation are used as the reflux box. 58, respectively. As described above, in the withdrawal process for the withdrawal of the withdrawal reject bank, the banknotes fed out from the withdrawal bank 53 for withdrawal are stored in the reflux warehouses 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is identified as being unusable by the identification unit 81, the control unit 66 drives the conveyance unit 70 in the reverse direction and drives the inlet conveyance unit 52 a of the dispensing unit 52. Then, the main conveyance part 71, the branch conveyance path 72, and the entrance conveyance part 52a store this banknote in the withdrawal part 52.

  When the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 are sequentially processed one by one, and the banknotes in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 run out, the control unit 66 rejects the withdrawal as a pre-process for the scrutiny process. The warehouse emptying process ends.

  When the withdrawal of the withdrawal of the withdrawal of the reject reject warehouse is completed, the control unit 66 next performs the forward process of the following scrutiny process for one of the refrigeration warehouses 55 to 58.

  In other words, the control unit 66 drives the inlet / outlet transport unit 53a and the transport unit 70 in the reverse direction, and when the one scrutinization target reflux box is the reflux box 55, the control unit 66 drives the inlet / outlet transport unit 55a in the reverse direction to return to the reflux box. One banknote is separated from 55 and fed out. Then, the banknote transport path 75 and the main transport path 71 during reverse rotation are transported toward the identification unit 81. Further, when the one recirculation warehouse to be scrutinized is the recirculation warehouse 56, the inlet / outlet transport unit 56a is driven in reverse to separate and feed out one banknote from the reflux warehouse 56. Then, the banknote transport path 76 and the main transport path 71 that are being driven in reverse rotation transport the banknotes toward the identification unit 81. In addition, in the case where the one recirculation warehouse to be scrutinized is the recirculation warehouse 57, the inlet / outlet transport section 57a is driven in reverse to separate one banknote from the reflux warehouse 57 and feed it out. Then, the banknote transporting path 77 and the main transporting path 71 that are being driven in reverse are transported toward the identification unit 81. Further, when the one recirculation warehouse to be scrutinized is the recirculation warehouse 58, the inlet / outlet transport section 58a is driven in reverse to separate and feed out one banknote from the reflux warehouse 58. Then, the banknote is conveyed toward the identification unit 81 by the main conveyance path 71 during reverse rotation driving.

  And even if any of the recirculation | reflux stores 55-58 is one recirculation | reflux storage object recirculation | reflux store | warehouse | chamber, the identification part 81 recognizes and counts a banknote during the conveyance in the main conveyance path 71, As a result, this banknote is overlapped. If it is identified that there is no feeding or the like and the inspection is possible, the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 73 and the entrance / exit conveyance section 53a which are being driven in reverse are accommodated in the withdrawal reject box 53. On the other hand, when the identification unit 81 identifies the banknote as being double-feeded and cannot be scrutinized, the main conveyance path 71 and the branch conveyance path 72 that are being driven in reverse and the inlet conveyance part 52a that is being driven to the withdrawal part 52 Store.

  When the above processing is sequentially performed on the banknotes stored in one of the recirculation warehouses 55 to 58, and the banknotes in this one refining process target recirculation warehouse disappear, the control unit 66 Performs the following retrace process of the refining process for the one recirculation storage object.

  That is, the control unit 66 drives the entrance / exit transport unit 53a, the transport unit 70, and the entrance / exit transport units 55a to 58a to rotate forward. Then, the entrance / exit transport unit 53a during normal rotation drive separates one banknote in the withdrawal reject box 53 and sends it to the branch transport path 73 during normal rotation drive, and the main transport path 71 during normal rotation drive is identified. It conveys toward the part 81. During this conveyance, when the identification unit 81 identifies and counts the banknote and identifies that there is no double feed or the like and can be used as a reflux, one of the recirculation warehouses to be scrutinized is the reflux warehouse 55. However, if it is a banknote of the denomination which should be accommodated in the recirculation | reflux store | warehouse | chamber 55, the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 75, and the entrance / exit conveyance part 55a in normal rotation drive will accommodate this banknote in the recirculation | reflux store | warehouse | chamber 55. In addition, if the one recirculation warehouse 56 to be scrutinized is the recirculation warehouse 56, and the banknote that can be used for recirculation is a denomination banknote to be stored in the recirculation warehouse 56, this banknote is used as the main rotating drive. The conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 76, and the entrance / exit conveyance unit 56 a are accommodated in the reflux box 56. In addition, if the one recirculation warehouse 57 to be scrutinized is the recirculation warehouse 57, and the banknote that can be used for recirculation is a denomination banknote to be stored in the recirculation warehouse 57, this banknote is used as the main rotating drive. The conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 77 and the entrance / exit conveyance section 57 a are accommodated in the reflux box 57. In addition, if the one recirculation warehouse 58 to be scrutinized is the recirculation warehouse 58, and the banknote that can be used for recirculation is a denomination banknote to be stored in the recirculation warehouse 58, this banknote is used as the main rotating drive. The conveyance path 71 and the entrance / exit conveyance unit 58 a are accommodated in the reflux container 58.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is identified by the identification unit 81 as being double fed or the like and cannot be used for recirculation, the control unit 66 drives the conveyance unit 70 in the reverse direction and drives the inlet conveyance unit 52a. Then, the main conveyance part 71, the branch conveyance path 72, and the entrance conveyance part 52a store the banknote which cannot be used for recirculation | reflux in the withdrawal part 52.

  When the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 are sequentially processed one by one, and the banknotes in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 run out, the control unit 66 stores the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection section 52. If there is no banknote, the return path processing of the scrutiny process for one scrutinization processing target return warehouse is terminated, while if there are banknotes stored in the withdrawal section 52, the withdrawal section 52 is driven to perform an external dispensing operation. Make it. Then, the withdrawal unit 52 collects the stored banknotes and partially projects the banknotes so that the banknotes can be taken out from the banknote outlet 42. When the banknote is pulled out from the banknote dispensing port 42, the control unit 66 ends the return path process of the scrutiny process for one scrutinization process target reflux box.

  In the forward processing and return processing of the scrutinization processing for the above-mentioned scrutinization processing target return warehouse, the banknotes fed out of the withdrawal reject warehouse 53 and identified as the banknotes that can be used for recirculation by the identification unit 81 are counted as one. It will be stored in the processing object reflux warehouse, and the amount of the scrutiny processing object reflux warehouse is determined.

  When a plurality of the recirculation chambers 55 to 58 are designated as the scrutinization processing target recirculation chambers, the forward processing and the return path processing of the above scrutiny processing are sequentially performed on each of the plurality of scrutinization processing target recirculation chambers. However, only before the first outbound process and the return process, the withdrawal process of the withdrawal of the reject reject as the pre-process is performed.

  As described above, at the time of the scrutiny processing, the banknotes are drawn from the withdrawal reject box 53 and stored in the corresponding denominations of the reflux boxes 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81, and the withdrawal reject box 53 is emptied. After that, the banknotes in one of the recirculation warehouses 55 to 58 are moved to the withdrawal reject box 53 to empty the one refining process target reflux warehouse. While recognizing the banknote with the identification part 81, it returns to this one close-up processing object reflux storage.

"Recovery processing"
Execution of a collection process including designation of a collection target reflux container to be collected among the reflux containers 55 to 58 is input to the operation unit 14. The designation of the collection target reflux warehouse can designate one of the reflux warehouses 55 to 58 or designate a plurality including all of the reflux warehouses 55 to 58.

  When execution of the collection process is input, the control unit 66 first determines the presence / absence of banknotes in the withdrawal reject box 53 based on the processing results up to that point. If it is determined that there is a banknote in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53, a withdrawal / rejection box emptying process similar to the scrutiny process is performed as a pre-processing for the collection process.

  That is, the control unit 66 drives the entrance / exit transport unit 53a of the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53, the transport unit 70, and the entrance / exit transport units 55a to 58a of the reflux stores 55 to 58 to rotate forward. Then, the entrance / exit conveyance unit 53a of the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 separates one banknote and sends it to the branch conveyance path 73, and the main conveyance path 71 conveys it toward the identification unit 81. The identification unit 81 recognizes the banknote. Count. When the identification unit 81 recognizes that the banknote can be used for reflux, the control unit 66 determines that the banknote is a denomination banknote to be stored in the reflux box 55. If it is a banknote of the denomination which should be accommodated in the return | refrigeration store | warehouse | chamber 75 in 75 and the entrance / exit conveyance part 55a and the return | reflux store | warehouse | chamber 56, this banknote will be returned to the return storehouse in the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 76, and the entrance / exit conveyance part 56a. 56, if it is a denomination banknote to be stored in the reflux box 57, this banknote should be stored in the reflux box 57 and the reflux box 58 by the main transfer path 71, the branch transfer path 77 and the inlet / outlet transfer unit 57a. If it is a banknote of a denomination, this banknote is each accommodated in the reflux container 58 by the main conveyance path 71 and the entrance / exit conveyance part 58a.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is identified as being unacceptable by the identification unit 81, the control unit 66 drives the entrance conveyance unit 52a of the withdrawal unit 52 and reversely drives the conveyance unit 70, thereby driving the main conveyance unit 71, The banknotes are stored in the dispensing unit 52 by the branch conveyance path 72 and the entrance conveyance unit 52a.

  When the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 are sequentially processed one by one, and the banknotes in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 run out, the controller 66 rejects the withdrawal as a pre-processing of the collection process. The warehouse emptying process ends.

  When the withdrawal of the withdrawal of the reject reject warehouse is completed, the control unit 66 performs the main process of the collection process for one of the collection containers to be collected among the reflux containers 55 to 58. That is, the control unit 66 reversely drives the entrance / exit transport unit 53a and the transport unit 70 of the withdrawal / rejection store 53, and when the one recovery processing target reflux store is the reflux store 55, the control unit 66 sets the entrance / exit transport unit 55a. Drive reversely to separate one banknote from the reflux box 55 and feed it out. Then, the banknote transport path 75 and the main transport path 71 during reverse rotation are transported toward the identification unit 81. Further, in the case where the one recovery processing target reflux warehouse is the reflux warehouse 56, the inlet / outlet transport unit 56 a is driven in reverse to separate and feed out one banknote from the reflux warehouse 56. Then, the banknote transport path 76 and the main transport path 71 that are being driven in reverse rotation transport the banknotes toward the identification unit 81. Further, when the one recovery processing target reflux box is the reflux box 57, the inlet / outlet transport unit 57a is driven in reverse to separate one banknote from the reflux box 57 and feed it out. Then, the banknote transporting path 77 and the main transporting path 71 that are being driven in reverse are transported toward the identification unit 81. Further, when the one recovery processing target reflux box is the reflux box 58, the inlet / outlet transport unit 58 a is driven in reverse to separate one bill from the reflux box 58 and feed it out. Then, the banknote is conveyed toward the identification unit 81 by the main conveyance path 71 during reverse rotation driving.

  And even if any of the reflux containers 55-58 is one collection processing object reflux warehouse, the identification part 81 identifies and counts a banknote during the conveyance in the main conveyance path 71, As a result, this banknote is overlapped. When it is identified that the box can be collected without sending, etc., the main transport path 71, the branch transport path 73, and the entrance / exit transport section 53a are stored in the withdrawal reject box 53.

  On the other hand, banknotes identified as being uncollectable by the identification unit 81 due to multiple feeding, etc. are stored in the withdrawal unit 52 by the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 72, and the entrance conveyance section 52a.

  When the above-described processing is sequentially performed on the banknotes stored in one collection processing target reflux warehouse among the reflux warehouses 55 to 58, and the banknotes in this one collection processing target reflux warehouse disappear, the control unit 66. If there is no banknote stored in the withdrawal unit 52, the main process of the recovery process for one recovery processing target reflux storage is completed, while if there is a banknote stored in the withdrawal unit 52, The gold part 52 is driven to perform an external payout operation. Then, the withdrawal unit 52 collects the stored banknotes and partially projects the banknotes so that the banknotes can be taken out from the banknote outlet 42. The control part 66 will complete | finish this process of the collection | recovery process about the one collection | recovery process target reflux warehouse, if a banknote is withdrawn from the banknote withdrawal port 42. FIG.

  In the main process of the recovery process for the one recovery processing target reflux warehouse, the banknotes fed out from the one recovery processing target reflux warehouse and identified and counted by the identification unit 91 as a box recoverable banknote are rejected. It will be stored in the storage 53, and the amount of the withdrawal of the withdrawal reject storage 53 is determined.

  When a plurality of the reflux containers 55 to 58 are designated as the collection processing target reflux containers, the main process of the above recovery process is sequentially performed on each of the plurality of scrutiny processing target reflux containers. Only before this process, the withdrawal process of the withdrawal of the reject reject as a pre-process is performed. When the recovery process main processing is performed on all the specified recovery processing target return warehouses among the reflux warehouses 55 to 58, the control unit 66 unlocks the main body part 60 of the withdrawal reject warehouse 53, and A display for prompting the withdrawal of the withdrawal / rejection storage 53 from the main body 60 and the installation of the replacement withdrawal / rejection storage 53 is displayed on the display unit 15. As a result, the withdrawal reject box 53 storing all the banknotes in the collection warehouse to be collected is withdrawn from the main body 60 in a state where the front door 45 is opened and removed. It will be collected. In that case, another, for example, empty withdrawal reject box 53 is loaded into the main body 60 instead. When the front door 45 is electromagnetically locked, the control unit 66 performs the main process of the recovery process on all the specified recovery process target return storages among the return storages 55 to 58, so that the electromagnetic of the front door 45 is reduced. Release the lock.

  As described above, at the time of the collection process, the banknotes are dispensed from the withdrawal reject box 53 and stored in the corresponding denominations of the reflux boxes 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81, and the withdrawal reject box 53 is emptied. Thereafter, the banknotes in the reflux box 55-58 are moved to the withdrawal reject box 53 and collected.

"Replenishment process"
When execution of the replenishment process is input to the operation unit 14, the control unit 66 first determines the presence / absence of banknotes in the withdrawal reject box 53 based on the processing results up to that point. If it is determined that there is a bill in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53, the control unit 66 performs a withdrawal / rejection reject box emptying process similar to the scrutinization process and the recovery process as pre-processing for the replenishment process. That is, the control unit 66 drives the entrance / exit transport unit 53a of the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53, the transport unit 70, and the entrance / exit transport units 55a to 58a of the reflux stores 55 to 58 to rotate forward. Then, the entrance / exit conveyance unit 53a of the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 separates one banknote and sends it to the branch conveyance path 73, and the main conveyance path 71 conveys it toward the identification unit 81. The identification unit 81 recognizes the banknote. Count. When the identification unit 81 recognizes that the banknote can be used for reflux, if the banknote is a denomination banknote to be stored in the reflux warehouse 55, the banknote is transferred to the main transport path 71, the branch transport path 75, and the entrance / exit transport. If the part 55a is a denomination banknote to be stored in the reflux box 55 and the reflux box 56, the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 76, and the inlet / outlet conveyance part 56a are connected to the reflux box 56, the reflux box. If the banknote is of a denomination to be stored in 57, the banknote is a banknote of a denomination to be stored in the recirculation warehouse 57 by the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 77 and the entrance / exit conveyance section 57 a. If there is, the main transport path 71 and the entrance / exit transport unit 58a store the banknotes in the reflux box 58, respectively.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is identified as being unusable by the identification unit 81, the control unit 66 drives the inlet conveyance unit 52a of the withdrawal unit 52 and reversely drives the conveyance unit 70, thereby driving the main conveyance unit 71, The banknotes are stored in the dispensing unit 52 by the branch conveyance path 72 and the entrance conveyance unit 52a.

  When the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 are sequentially processed one by one, and the banknotes in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 run out, the control unit 66 stores the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection section 52. If there is no banknote, the withdrawal process of the withdrawal of the reject reject as a pre-process of the replenishment process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is a banknote stored in the withdrawal unit 52, the withdrawal unit 52 is driven to perform an external dispensing operation. Make it. Then, the withdrawal unit 52 collects the stored banknotes and partially projects the banknotes so that the banknotes can be taken out from the banknote outlet 42. When the banknote is withdrawn from the banknote withdrawal port 42, the control unit 66 ends the withdrawal process of the withdrawal of the reject reject as the preprocessing for the replenishment process.

  When the withdrawal process of the withdrawal of the withdrawal reject bank is completed, the control unit 66 then drives the lock mechanism 61 to release the lock on the main body 60 of the withdrawal rejection bank 53 and the main body of the withdrawal rejection bank 53. The display unit 15 displays a display prompting the user to attach the withdrawal reject box 53 loaded with the banknotes for removal and replenishment from the unit 60. That is, during the replenishment process, when the banknote is delivered from the withdrawal reject box 53 and stored in the reflux box 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81 and the withdrawal reject box 53 is emptied, the withdrawal reject box 53 is replaced. If it becomes possible and the withdrawal reject box 53 is not emptied, the exchange of the withdrawal reject box 53 is regulated.

  With the front door 45 opened, the empty withdrawal reject box 53 is pulled out and removed from the main body 60. Instead, the withdrawal bank reject bank is preloaded with replenishment banknotes outside the apparatus. 53 is loaded into the main body 60, and the front door 45 is closed. When the front door 45 is electromagnetically locked, the control unit 66 releases the lock of the front door 45 by the electromagnetic lock when the withdrawal process of the withdrawal of the reject reject as the preprocessing of the replenishment process is completed.

  In this state, the control unit 66 performs the main process of the replenishment process. That is, as the main process of the replenishment process, the control unit 66 drives the entrance / exit transport unit 53a of the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53, the transport unit 70, and the entrance / exit transport units 55a to 58a of the reflux stores 55 to 58 to rotate forward. Then, the entrance / exit transport unit 53a of the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 separates the banknotes and sends them to the branch transport path 73 so that the branch transport path 73 and the main transport path 71 are transported toward the identification unit 81. The banknote is identified and counted. When the identification unit 81 recognizes that the banknote can be used for reflux, if the banknote is a denomination banknote to be stored in the reflux warehouse 55, the banknote is transferred to the main transport path 71, the branch transport path 75, and the entrance / exit transport. If the part 55a is a denomination banknote to be stored in the reflux box 55 and the reflux box 56, the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 76, and the inlet / outlet conveyance part 56a are connected to the reflux box 56, the reflux box. If the banknote is of a denomination to be stored in 57, the banknote is a banknote of a denomination to be stored in the recirculation warehouse 57 by the main conveyance path 71, the branch conveyance path 77 and the entrance / exit conveyance section 57 a. If there is, the main transport path 71 and the entrance / exit transport unit 58a store the banknotes in the reflux box 58, respectively.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is identified as being unreplenishable by the identification unit 81, the control unit 66 drives the entrance conveyance unit 52a of the withdrawal unit 52 and reversely drives the conveyance unit 70 to thereby rotate the main conveyance unit 71. The banknotes are stored in the withdrawal unit 52 by the branch conveyance path 72 and the entrance conveyance unit 52a.

  When the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 are sequentially processed one by one, and the banknotes in the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 run out, the control unit 66 stores the banknotes stored in the withdrawal / rejection section 52. If there is no bill, the replenishment processing is terminated. On the other hand, if there is a bill stored in the dispensing unit 52, the dispensing unit 52 is driven to perform an external dispensing operation. Then, the withdrawal unit 52 collects the stored banknotes and partially projects the banknotes so that the banknotes can be taken out from the banknote outlet 42. When the banknote is pulled out from the banknote dispensing port 42, the control unit 66 ends the main process of the replenishment process.

  As described above, the withdrawal reject box 53 stores banknotes that cannot be withdrawn from the banknotes fed out from the reflux boxes 55 to 58 during the withdrawal process, and one scrutiny among the reflux boxes 55 to 58 during the scrutiny process. It becomes a temporary transfer destination for banknotes for emptying and returning the target recirculation cabinet, and it is removed in a state where the banknotes whose height has been determined at the time of the collection process are stored, and further, the banknotes are replenished outside the apparatus during the replenishment process Then, it becomes a replenishment source for replenishing banknotes to the reflux boxes 55 to 58 in the apparatus. In other words, the withdrawal / rejection store 53 is a combination of a withdrawal / rejection store, a scrutiny store, a collection store, and a replenishment store.

  In the replenishment process, the banknotes are replenished outside the apparatus, and the withdrawal reject box 53 loaded in the main body 60 for replenishment becomes empty after the replenishment process. It can be left loaded and used as is to resume device operation.

  According to the banknote processing apparatus 11 of the present embodiment described above, the withdrawal reject box 53 for storing banknotes that cannot be withdrawn out of the banknotes fed out from the reflux boxes 55 to 58 during the withdrawal process. The control unit 66 controls the banknotes fed out from the withdrawal reject box 53 to be stored in the reflux boxes 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81. Therefore, the operator does not have to perform the operation of taking out the banknotes from the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53, so that the burden on the operator for emptying the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 can be reduced. Moreover, since possibility that a banknote of the withdrawal rejection store | warehouse | chamber 53 touches a hand manually can be restrained low, security property can also be improved. That is, since it becomes possible to automatically return the withdrawal reject banknotes to the reflux box 55 to 58 without any manual intervention, it is possible to reduce the processing burden on the operator and improve the security.

  In addition, the control unit 66 pays out banknotes from the withdrawal reject box 53 and stores them in the reflux boxes 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81 during the scrutiny process. The banknotes in one of the review objects 55 to 58 are moved to the withdrawal reject box 53 to empty the one review object circulation box, and then the banknotes in the withdrawal reject box 53 are identified by the identification unit 81. In order to control to return to this one scrutinized return circulation box while identifying, it is not necessary for the operator to take out the banknote from the withdrawal reject box 53 in order to empty the withdrawal reject box 53 during the scrutiny process. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the work load on the operator during the scrutiny process. By providing a route for returning the withdrawal reject banknotes to the reflux box 55-58 before scrutiny, automatic scrutiny including the withdrawal reject banknotes that have been removed by hand becomes possible. Further, since the withdrawal reject box 53 is emptied in the pre-processing during the scrutiny processing, it is possible to reduce the possibility of performing the operation of removing the different denomination banknotes during the scrutiny processing. Further, since the scrutiny process can be performed using the withdrawal reject box 53, it is not necessary to provide a scrutiny box dedicated to the scrutiny process, and the cost can be reduced and the apparatus can be downsized.

  Moreover, the control part 66 pays out the banknote from the withdrawal reject box 53 and stores it in the reflux box 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification part 81 during the collection process, and empties the withdrawal reject box 53. In order to control the banknotes of the collection target reflux warehouse among the warehouses 55 to 58 to move to the withdrawal rejection warehouse 53 and collect them, the operator rejects the withdrawal to empty the withdrawal rejection warehouse 53 during the collection process. It is not necessary to take out the banknote from the storage 53, and the work burden on the operator during the collection process can be reduced. Moreover, since the withdrawal reject box 53 is emptied in the preprocessing at the time of the collection processing, it is possible to collect the cassettes of banknotes in a state in which the surplus amount is determined. In addition, since the collection process can be performed using the withdrawal reject box 53, it is not necessary to provide a collection box dedicated to the collection process, and the cost can be reduced and the apparatus can be downsized.

  In addition, when the control unit 66 replenishes the banknotes from the withdrawal reject box 53 and stores them in the reflux boxes 55 to 58 based on the identification result of the identification unit 81 to empty the withdrawal reject box 53, In order to control so that the money reject box 53 can be exchanged, in this state, the banknotes are exchanged to the withdrawal reject box 53 in a state where the banknotes are separately replenished, and the banknotes are fed out from the withdrawal reject box 53. Based on the identification result of 81, it is stored in the reflux box 55-58. This eliminates the need for the operator to take out the banknotes from the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 to empty the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 during the replenishment process, thereby reducing the burden on the operator during the replenishment process. be able to. Further, during the replenishment process, the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 is emptied by the pre-processing, so that it is possible to prevent the withdrawal / rejection reject box 53 from being replaced while banknotes remain. In addition, since the replenishment process can be performed using the withdrawal reject box, it is not necessary to provide a replenishment warehouse dedicated to the replenishment process, and the cost can be reduced and the apparatus can be downsized.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the banknote processing apparatus 11 deposits / withdraws new banknotes has been described as an example, but, of course, circulation banknotes can also be deposited / withdrawn.

  Moreover, in the above embodiment, the banknote processing apparatus 11 is a banknote by the common discrimination | determination part 81 at the time of forward rotation drive, such as at the time of the money_receiving | payment process of the main conveyance path 71, and at the time of reverse rotation drive, such as at the time of payment processing. Although the case of identifying has been described as an example, banknotes may be identified by separate identifying units for each transport direction.

  Further, the front door 45 is not common to the withdrawal reject box 53 and the return boxes 55 to 58, and separate doors are provided in the withdrawal reject box 53 and the return boxes 55 to 58, and a lock mechanism is provided for each door.
