The operation of the conventional example having the above configuration will be described below. 17 shows a replenishing operation, and FIG. 18 shows a collecting operation. <Replenishment> When a staff member presses the replenishment key with the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and receives the CCAD.
A command for instructing the start of the replenishment operation is transmitted to No. 2. When the CCAD2 receives the command to start the replenishment operation, it switches the internal state to the replenishment mode, and the end detector 25a of the replenishment / recovery bill storage unit 17 has not detected the end, that is, the bill to be replenished is set in advance. Make sure that When the end is detected, the response is returned with the information indicating that the operation is not possible, and this process is stopped. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started.

The operation of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG. By operating the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22, the bills set on the stage 18 are sequentially fed out one by one from the upper side, conveyed as shown by the arrow in FIG. 12, and sent to the discrimination section 13. The discrimination section 13 sequentially discriminates the bills sent in, authenticity discrimination, discrimination of correctness and traveling state, and then sends the bills backward.

If the bill is a 1,000-yen bill that can be loaded for withdrawal, the switching blade 14h is actuated to feed the bill-denominated bill accumulating section 39 to directly accumulate it on the stage 36 of the denomination cassette 33. In the case of bills that can be loaded for withdrawal, which are genuine 10,000-yen bills, the switching blade 14i
Or 14j to activate the denomination-based banknote stacking unit 40 or 4
It is sent to 1 and directly accumulated on the stage 37 or 38 of the cassette 34 or 35 according to denomination. This operation is stage 1
The banknotes set in 8 are gone and the end detector 2
Repeated until 5a is detected, but in the middle stage 3
When the accumulated number of any one of 6, 37, 38 reaches the hold allowable value (for example, 100 sheets), the operation of the replenishment banknote separating mechanism 22 is interrupted, and the cassette stage which has reached the hold allowable value is displayed. Use a motor not shown to lower the hold allowance value. When the stage is lowered, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is operated again, and the replenishment operation is repeated.

When the bills on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22
Stops, and when the last bill arrives at the stage of the denomination-type cassette, the transport operation by the transport path also stops. Finally, the stages 36, 37 of the denomination-based cassettes 33, 34, 35,
38 is lowered all at once, the banknotes accumulated on the stages 36, 37 and 38 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and 35, and the replenishment operation is completed. In addition, the bill discriminated from the non-withdrawable bill by the discriminating unit 13 is a switching blade 14
d, 14e, 14f are activated and sent to the first-type reject banknote stacking unit 24 and the first-type reject banknote storage unit 23.
Accumulate in.

Further, during the replenishing operation, the denomination cassettes 34, 3
When the full detectors 49c and 50c of No. 5 or the full detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 detect full, the switching blade 14e is actuated and sent to the collected bill stacking unit 21 to be stacked on the partition plate 19. When the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and the conveyance operation by the conveyance path 61 is also stopped.

The CCAD 2 returns a response indicating the end of replenishment to the control unit 7, and adds the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination as the data. With that, the processing of the replenishing operation is completed.
Here, the operation when the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and 35 are full will be described with reference to FIG.

First, referring to FIG. 17, the denomination cassette 33,
When the full detectors 48c, 49c, 50c of 34, 35 detect full, the switching blade 14e is operated to send the bills separated one by one by the supplementary bill separating mechanism 22 to the collected bill stacking unit 21, and the partition plate. Accumulate on 19.
At this time, the discriminating unit 13 counts the banknotes stacked on the partition plate 19, and once the stacking allowable value (for example, 100) is reached, the supplementary banknote separating mechanism 22 is once stopped.

Next, the clamp lever 20 is rotated by a motor (not shown) from the position A to the position B to clamp the banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 19. Next, set the clamp lever 20 to B with a motor (not shown).
Move from the position of to the position of C and lift the banknote. As a result, the bills can be fed again onto the partition plate 19. Then, the stopped supplementary bill separating mechanism 22 is driven again to continue stacking on the partition plate 19 to the stacking allowable value again. When the stacking allowable value is reached, the replenishment banknote separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and the clamp lever at the position C is rotated by a motor (not shown) to the position D, so that the banknote previously clamped and lifted is then separated by the partition plate 19. Drop it on the banknotes that have accumulated on top.

Subsequently, the clamp lever 20 in the D position is returned to the A position by a motor (not shown), and further rotated from the A position to the B position to clamp the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19. . Then, the clamp lever 20 is moved again from the position B to the position C by a motor (not shown) to lift the bill. Then, the replenished bill separating mechanism 22 that has stopped is driven again. The above operation is repeated until the end detector 25a of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 detects the end.

When the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, the clamp lever 20 clamps and raises the bill to the position C by the motor (not shown), and the stage 18 is moved to the position E by the motor (not shown). From the position F to the position F, the motor (not shown) descends from the position F to the position G.

Next, the motor (not shown) rotates from the G position to the H position. Here, the clamp lever 20 is rotated by a motor (not shown) from the position C to the position D, and the banknotes lifted by the clamp are placed on the stage 18. Then, the stage 18 moves from the H position to the I position by a motor (not shown).
Lift the banknote to the position (home position). By the above operation, the bills in the replenishment / recovery bill storage unit 17 pass through the discriminating unit 13 and are replenished / recovery bill storage unit 17 again.
Can be stored inside. As described above, the clamp lever 20 and the stage 18 are provided with detectors (not shown) corresponding to their respective positions.

<Loading> A staff member replenishes before starting work.
When the banknotes that have been set from the original are collectively stored in the stage 18 of the recovered banknote storage unit 17 and the loading key is pressed by the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and moves to CCAD2. A command for instructing the start of the loading operation is transmitted. When the CCAD2 receives the command to start the loading operation, it switches the internal state in the same manner as in the refilling mode and performs the loading operation similar to the refilling operation.

<Recovery> When the bank clerk presses the recovery key with the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and sends a command to the CCAD 2 to start the recovery operation. When the CCAD2 receives the command to start the collecting operation, the internal state is switched to the collecting mode and all the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 have not detected the end, that is, the banknotes to be collected are the denomination cassettes 33, 34, Make sure that it exists in any of 35.

When all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 have detected the end, the information indicating the inoperability is added, the response is returned, and this process is stopped. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one denomination cassette, the collecting operation is started. Below, CCA
The operation of D2 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the denomination-based bill separating mechanism 47 is operated to take out the bills stored in the denomination-based cassette 35 one by one in order from the upper side, and send the bills to the discriminating unit 13 through the traveling path as shown by the arrow in FIG.

The discriminating section 13 sequentially discriminates the sent-in bills, discriminates the authenticity and the traveling state, and sends the bills backward. The banknotes detected as overrun or skewed as a result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 13 are sent to the reject cassette 7 by operating the switching blade 14e. Banknotes that are normal as a result of discrimination are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21 and sequentially stacked on the partition plate 19. This operation is repeated until the banknotes set in the denomination cassette 35 are exhausted, but when the number of stacked intermediate plates 19 reaches the stacking allowable value (for example, 100), the operation of the denomination-based banknote separating mechanism 47. 16 is interrupted, and the operation shown in FIG.

End detector 50a of denomination cassette 35
When the end is detected, next, the stored bills are paid out from the denomination type cassette 34. If the result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 13 indicates that the vehicle is running over or running obliquely, the switching blade 14e is operated to send it to the reject cassette 7. Banknotes that are normal as a result of discrimination are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21 and sequentially stacked on the partition plate 19. When the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, the stored bills are fed out from the denomination cassette 33.

Thus, each denomination type cassette 35, 34,
The 33 bills are accumulated while counting on the partition plate 19 of the replenishment / recovery bill storage unit 17 in the order of 10,000-yen bill, another 10,000-yen bill, and 1,000-yen bill. During the above-described collecting operation, the discrimination unit 13 constantly counts the bills sent to the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 17, and when the storage amount is reached, the collection operation is interrupted and the information is returned to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 displays "Batch cassette full" on the display unit (not shown) to instruct to collect the banknotes stored in the batch cassette.

Here, the allowable storage amount of the collected banknotes in the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 varies depending on the amount of the banknotes accumulated on the stage 18. Therefore, prior to the bill collection process, the height of the stage 18 is detected by a detection unit (not shown), and the amount of accumulated bills on the stage 18 is calculated by the calculation unit of the control unit 7, and the replenishment / collection bill storage is performed. This is subtracted from the storage amount of the unit 17 to obtain the storage allowable amount of the collected banknotes. When the replenishment / recovery banknote storage unit 17 is full, the bank clerk opens the door 52 on the rear surface of the CCAD2, pulls out the batch cassette 15, and uses the inspection key to open the batch cassette door. Take out all the bills. When the collective cassette door is closed, the collective cassette 15 is set by the reverse operation to the above, and the door 52 is closed, the collecting operation is performed again.

As described above, the cassettes 35 and 3 for each denomination are selected.
The collection operation is performed until all of the sheets 4, 33 detect the end, and when the last bill arrives at the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 17, the conveyance operation by the conveyance path 51 is also stopped and the collection operation ends. The CCAD2 that has completed the above processing returns a response indicating the end of collection, and adds the counted number of collected sheets for each denomination as the data. In response to this, the control unit 7 counts and stores the number of collected sheets. With that, the process of the collecting operation is completed.

The respective processes described above are performed in the following procedure in actual operation. Prior to the start of work, the banknotes set in the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 of the batch cassette 15 are collectively loaded from the original side to be loaded in each denomination cassette. After entering the business, carry out deposit transactions, withdrawal transactions, etc. at any time, and when the denomination type cassette is near end or end, take out the batch cassette 15 from CCAD2 and set the insufficient banknotes in the batch cassette 15. The batch cassette 15 is set in the CCAD2 and the replenishment processing enables the withdrawal transaction business to continue. Even if the collective cassette 15 is taken out from the CCAD2, deposit / withdrawal transactions can be made and the operation does not need to be stopped.
