The take-out roller is in a state where a does not appear on the conveyance path surface of the bill A and does not come into contact with the bill A remaining in the storage unit 301.
304 stops [Fig. 14 (d)].

By the way, the banknote A is taken out from the rubber surface 3 of the takeout roller 304.
04a is performed only when the banknote A comes into contact with the banknote A, so that the leading edge of the other banknote A except the banknote A being taken out is stored in the storage unit 301.
Although it should have stopped at a position flush with the take-out side floor 301A, the leading edge of the bill A is normally set because the take-out bills A are aligned and a large number of bills are taken by the gate roller 306. In some cases, the leading edge of the bill A reaches the position of the pickup roller 307 because it is guided to the position of the gate roller 306, or the take-out timing is shifted for some reason.

However, when the bills A are stacked and stored, as shown in FIG.
Since the temporary storage section 301a as a stacking section has to be formed below the flappers 315, 315 by pushing it below 5,315, as described above, the bill A whose tip edge projects from the take-out floor 301A (hereinafter referred to as choro ticket If the choro ticket A ″ is present, the tip edge of the choro ticket A ″ may be broken when it is pressed by the pushing plate 309, and the choro ticket A ″ may not be taken out. Exit side floor 301A
It is necessary to pull it back to a position that is flush with.

Therefore, when the banknotes A are sequentially taken out, and at the time when the predetermined number of the banknotes A have been taken out, if the leading edge of the banknotes A is projected to the portion of the pickup roller 307, this is detected by the takeout detection sensor 317, and this detection is performed. Based on the above, the banknote A is taken out as it is as a reject ticket and stored in the reject box. When the leading edge of the banknote A is projected to the gate roller 306 (choro ticket issuing A ″), that is, when the take-out detection sensor 317 is bright, the pushing plate 309 is first lowered to issue the choro ticket. A ″ is pulled back from the portion of the gate roller 306 [FIG. 15 (a)], and the bill A accumulated on the choro ticket A ″ and the backup 310 is pressed by the pushing plate 309 to be integrated with the backup 310. Then, at the time when the backup 310 is moved to a certain position, the backup 310 is fixed via the electromagnetic brake 311, and under this state, only the pushing plate 309 is raised to return to the standby position [Fig. 15]. (B)] In response to this, the pressure on the banknote A on the backup 310 is released, and then the backup 3 is turned off by the “off” of the electromagnetic brake 311 under this state.
"Figure 15 (c)" to raise 10. At this time, since the pressing of the banknote A on the backup 310 has been released, the choro issuing ticket A ″ located at the uppermost layer is freely moved and aligned by friction with the takeout side floor 301A.

Here, the pushing plate 309 is lowered again to push the banknote A downward, and the residual detection sensor 316 detects the residual of the banknote A in the upper space portion thereof. If the residual detection sensor 316 is dark, the choro Due to insufficient alignment of ticket A ″,
The electromagnetic brake 311 is turned on to fix the backup 310, the pushing plate 309 is returned to the standby position, and then the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned off and the backup 310 is raised, and the above-described alignment operation is repeated again. In addition, the residual detection sensor
If 316 is clear, it means that the choro ticket A ″ has been aligned, so that the bill A is pushed downward by the pushing plate 309, and then the flappers 315, 315 are closed via the solenoids. Hold below [15th
Figure (d)].

On the other hand, when the bill A is taken out, the bill A in the storage unit 20
When all are taken out, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the take-out detection sensor 317 becomes bright for a certain period of time, and accordingly, the empty detection sensor 320 is turned on, and the backup 310 is pushed by the pushing plate. It is pressed by 309 and descends integrally with the pushing plate 309. [Fig. 12 (b)]. Then, when the backup 310 passes through the portion where the flappers 315, 315 are arranged, the flappers 315, 315 are closed by turning on the solenoid, the backup 310 is locked by these flappers 315, 315, and the pushing plate 309 is raised to return to the standby position [ FIG. 12 (c)].

At this time, the light emitted from the sky detection sensor 320 is transmitted through the transmission holes 309a and 309b.
However, since the emission hole is obliquely oriented with respect to the moving (lowering) direction of the pushing plate 309 and the backup 310, the emitted light is relatively emitted according to the movement of the pushing plate 309 and the backup 310. It becomes a state of sequentially shifting from one end side of the transmission holes 309a, 310a to the other end side, so that it is possible to detect an empty portion of the wide area S of the upper surface of the backup 310, and therefore a banknote such as a folded ticket or a peculiar note on the backup 310. Even if A remains, it can be accurately detected without missing it.

FIG. 19 is for explaining the electric circuit. That is, the main control unit 150 controls the whole, and the storage unit 152 is constituted by, for example, a ROM (read only memory) and stores a control program and the like. The depositing / dispensing mechanism control section 151 controls the depositing / dispensing mechanism 12 according to a signal from the main control section 150 and a signal from the inspection control section 155. The inspection control unit 155 is the inspection unit 36.
Is to control. The operation panel unit / internal monitor device control unit 153 controls the operation panel unit 3 and the internal monitor device 13. The cover / slip processing control device 154 controls the card / slip processing unit device 11. The passbook reading / printing control unit 156 controls the passbook reading / printing device 157 which reads the magnetic stripe of the passbook inserted from the passbook insertion slot 4 and records the transaction contents in the passbook and the journal.

The main control unit 150 responds to signals from the detectors in the cash-receipt-and-disbursement device 12 and signals from the inspection unit 36 to each of the storage units 20, 21,
It is used to count the number of items stored in 22,23, the number of items stored for each denomination, the number of loaded items, and the number of scrutinized items. Further, the seed control unit 150 is a remote monitor input / output control unit 159.
Controls the remote monitor 176 provided at a position remote from the depositing / dispensing device. Further, the main controller 150 is designed to perform data transmission with a central processing unit (not shown) by the communication controller 158.

As shown in FIG. 20, the internal monitor device 13 displays the operation progress status code display portion 161, the reset button 162, the loading button 160, the replenishment button 163, the number of transactions for each denomination, or the ten thousand yen bill The near end of the number display section 164 displaying the number of yen bills loaded or the number of close examinations, the storage button 166, the tightening button 168, the collation button 169, the return button 167, the near end of the 10,000 yen bill storage unit 22 is indicated by blinking, and the end is lit. Display 170 shown, the near end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 21 is displayed by blinking and the end is displayed by lighting, 171, The near end of the 5000 yen / removed ticket storage section 20 is displayed by blinking and the end is displayed by lighting 172, a display 174 indicating collection and loading, and a key guard 173 including a ten-key denomination key.

The remote monitor 175 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the indicator 178 that flashes the near end of the 10,000-yen bill storage unit 22 and indicates the end is lit, the indicator 179 that blinks the near-end of the 1,000-yen bill storage unit 22 and indicates the end is lit, and 5,000 yen / excluded ticket A display unit 180 for displaying the near end of the storage unit 20 by blinking and indicating the end by lighting, a subject, an operation step, an operation status code, and a display unit 177 for displaying the number of 10,000 yen bills or 1,000 yen bills loaded or scrutinized. ,
And a number button 176 and the like.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be described. For example, first, the user (customer) inserts the card into the card insertion slot 5 by looking at the operation guide "Please insert a card or passbook" displayed on the CRT display unit 10. Then, the data on the magnetic stripe of the card is read by a reading unit (not shown) and supplied to the main control unit 150. Thereby, the main control unit 150 checks the validity of the card. And if the card is valid, the main controller
For 150, enter the password on the CRT display 10.
The operation guide is displayed. Then, when the customer inputs the personal identification number with the operation button 8, the main control unit 150 checks whether or not the personal identification number read from the card and the personal identification number input with the operation button 8 match or are related to each other. If they match, or if the relevance satisfies the pre-defined rules, the main control unit 150 guides on the CRT display unit 10 "Please select a trading item," and
Display the support for the selection buttons of “Deposit, Withdrawal, Transfer, and Balance Inquiry”.

Then, when the operation button corresponding to the deposit is turned on when the transaction item is selected, the main control unit 150 enters the deposit acceptance state and outputs a deposit command to the deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12. This allows
The deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12 opens the door body 415 of the deposit / withdrawal port 7. Next, after the user puts the bill bundle A into the bill storage room 454 in a standing state in a lump with mixed denominations front and back, when the door 415 is closed, the shutter closing detector 419 detects that the door 415 is closed. I do.

Next, the floor drive motor 411 rotates at a high speed, and the floor 407 vibrates up and down in response to the rotation.
Is orientated. At this time, if the detection failure of the bill A is detected by the detector 457, the main control unit 150 opens the door body 415 and guides the user to "Please re-insert the bill properly and close the door" on the CRT display unit 10. When the door 415 is closed, the alignment operation is performed again, and after the main control unit 150 determines that the banknote A is correctly deposited in the banknote storage chamber 454 by detecting the detectors 457 and 451, the banknote A causes the take-in roller 403 to move. One by one from the foremost one is taken in. The collected was incorporated banknotes A is conveyed through the intake conveying path R _2. At this time, the banknote A is detected by the banknote passage detector 40a, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of the banknotes based on the detection signal. Further, when the bill A passes through the inspection unit 36, the “short length”
Detection of “Longitudinal length”, “Magnetic pattern matching”, “Color separation of transmitted light”, “Divided matching of fine parts by reflected light”, etc. is performed, thereby “Ticket type discrimination” and “True / false discrimination”. , “Front / back discrimination”, “new / old discrimination”
Is performed and the result is supplied to the main controller 150. Thereby, main controller 150 counts the inspection result by a counter (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 150 removes the banknote A, which is “false” in the authenticity determination, from the depositing / dispensing mechanism 12 if the banknote A cannot be recognized as a correct banknote due to being stacked, significantly skewed, or damaged. Output a signal. Thus, when the leading end of the bill A reaches the bill passage detector 40f, the third sorting gate 39c is turned left and the fourth sorting gate 39d is turned left. Then, the banknote A
Are temporarily accumulated in the withdrawal temporary accumulation unit 37.

On the other hand, when the bill is determined to be “true” in the true / false determination and is determined to be “back” in the front / back determination, the main control unit 150 outputs the signal to the deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12. Thereby, the banknote A
Are distributed by the distribution gates 39c and 39d and accumulated in the deposit temporary accumulation section 38 through the left side conveyance path. The banknotes A that are determined to be “true” in the authenticity determination and “front” in the front / back determination are sorted by the sorting gate 39c, and are stacked in the depositing temporary stacking unit 38 via the right transport path. .

When the inspection result is an old ticket, the depositing / dispensing mechanism 12 turns on the plunger solenoid 236, and the collecting guide 234 moves to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Once "on", the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 12 maintains the "on" state until the capture process is completed.

On the other hand, when the detector 451 detects that there is no bill in the bill storage chamber 454, the rotation of the take-in roller 403 is stopped, and the take-in process ends.

Next, when the rejected banknotes A are accumulated in the dispensing temporary accumulating unit 37, the arm 92 moves downward, the rejected banknotes A are sandwiched between the transport belts 82 and 62, and the Storage room
It is transported to 454 [see Figure 9]. The rejected banknotes A returned to the banknote storage chamber 454 in this manner are again taken in and conveyed, and the deposit processing is performed.

In this way, after all the inserted bills A are accumulated, they are counted and collated. That is, among the genuine bills determined by the inspection unit 36, the discrimination number of 10,000 yen banknotes, the discrimination number of 5,000 yen banknotes and the discrimination number of 1,000 yen banknotes and the passage detector 40i on the transport path to the deposit temporary accumulation unit 38, The respective counts for 40h are collated by the main control unit 150, and counting is guaranteed by a double check.

After the count and collation are performed in this way, the main control unit 15
0 indicates the number of ticket types and the total deposit amount on the CRT display section 10 of the operation panel section 10
Prompts the customer to confirm the amount of money to be input and the number of sheets by type of money. When the customer presses the confirmation button, the banknotes A in the deposit temporary accumulation section 38 are conveyed to the accumulation section 454 of the banknote take-in and take-out device 15 when the acceptance becomes "OK" after the online communication. That is, the timing belt of the deposit temporary collection unit 38.
205 is lowered, and the receiving table 220 is retracted below the conveyor belt 214. Therefore, the banknotes A accumulated on the receiving table 220 are sandwiched by the timing belt 205 and the conveyor belt 214 and conveyed from the accumulating section 230 [see FIG. 11 (c)].

Next, back up the bill take-in / take-out device 15
402 and the float panel 401 move to the opposite side of the take-in roller 403, the movable part 445 of the backup 402 opens to the outside, and the bills conveyed from the temporary deposit stacking part 38 via the discharging roller 427 are collected in the receiving stacking part 454. To be done.

Further, the take-out roller 403 is rotated to take in the bills A one by one. The collected was incorporated banknotes A is conveyed through the intake conveying path R _2. At this time, the bill A is the bill passage detector 40a.
The seed control unit 150 counts the number of captured sheets according to the detection signal. Further, when the bill A passes through the inspection unit 36, “short length”, “long length”, “magnetic pattern matching”, “color separation of transmitted light”, “division matching of minute parts by reflected light” , Etc., a "note type discrimination", a "truth discrimination", and a "fault discrimination" are performed.
Supplied to 150. Thereby, main controller 150 counts the inspection result by a counter (not shown). Also, the main controller
Reference numeral 150 denotes a banknote A which is determined to be "false" in the authenticity determination, outputs a rejection signal to the depositing / dispensing mechanism 12 when the banknote A cannot be recognized as a correct banknote due to being stacked, significantly skewed, or damaged. Thus, when the leading end of the bill A reaches the bill passage detector 40j, the seventh sorting gate 39g is rotated to the left. Then, the bill A is accumulated in the 5,000 yen / excluded ticket / collected bill storage unit 22.

On the other hand, in the case of the 5,000-yen banknote determined to be “true” in the authenticity determination, the main control unit 150 outputs the signal to the depositing / dispensing mechanism 12. As a result, the bill A is sorted by the sorting gate 39g, and is temporarily stored by the third stacking / unloading device 26.
Collected in 301a. At this time, in each of the storage units 20, 21, and 22, the flapper 315 is held in a closed state so as to project into the storage unit 20, and a space is formed above the flapper 315.
And the bill A is accumulated by the tapper wheel 303.

On the other hand, in the case of 1000 yen bills and 10,000 yen bills, the same operation is performed,
They are accumulated in the first and second temporary storage units 33 and 34, respectively.
At the time of stacking, the main control unit 150 counts the stacking numbers of 5,000 yen, 1,000 yen, and 10,000 yen banknotes by a counter (not shown) according to the detection signals of the passage detectors 40k, 40m, 40o.

On the other hand, when the detector 451 detects that there is no bill in the bill storage chamber 454, the rotation of the take-in roller 404 is stopped, and the take-in process ends. When the loading is completed, the pushing plate 309 descends,
The banknote A in the temporary storage unit 301a is pushed down together with the flapper 315 and moves to the specified storage position [see FIG. 13 (c)].
After that, the flapper 315 is closed by turning on the solenoid [see FIG. 13 (d)], and the pushing plate 309 is raised to return to the standby position, whereby the bill A is flapped.
It is locked by 315 and is held in an accumulated state on the lower side thereof (see FIG. 13 (e)).

Next, when a transaction type is selected, when the operation button 8 corresponding to withdrawal is turned on, the main control unit 150 displays a guide character "Press the amount with a button and finally press the yen button." On the CRT display unit. Display with 10. Next, the user enters the amount with the operation buttons 8 according to the guidance. By inputting this amount of money, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display unit 10 to display a guide character "If the amount of money is correct, press the correct button if the confirmation button or the exchange button is different." By pressing this button, the main controller 150
Is displayed on the CRT display unit 10 as a guide character "Communication is in progress. Please wait for a while." At this time, the main control unit 150 performs online communication, and at the same time, the deposit / withdrawal device 1
Output withdrawal command to 2. Thereby, the depositing / dispensing device 12 takes out the banknotes A corresponding to the above-mentioned amounts from the banknote storage units 21 and 22 and accumulates them in the dispensing temporary accumulation unit 37.

That is, from the standby state shown in Fig. 14 (a), the pushing plate 309 descends, the flappers 315, 315 open, and the pushing plate 309 hits the upper layer surface of the bill A [Fig. 14 (b)].
Thereafter, the pushing plate 309 rises integrally with the bill A pressed upward by the backup 310 and returns to the standby position,
The bill A contacts the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [Fig. 14 (c)]. And in this state, the take-out roller
By the operation of 304 and feed roller 305, take-out roller 30
When the banknotes A are sequentially taken out via the rubber surface 304a of 4 and a predetermined number of the banknotes A have been taken out, the rubber surface 304a does not appear on the surface of the conveyance path of the banknotes A, and the banknotes A remaining in the storage unit 301 The take-out roller 304 stops in a state where the position where it does not contact is maintained [Fig. 14 (d)]. The banknotes A thus taken out are sorted gates 39a, 39b, 39c, 39d, 39e, 39f, 39g, 39h, 39
It is sorted by i and accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 37. At this time,
The bill A taken out from the ten thousand-yen bill storage unit 22 is detected by the bill passage detector 40n, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of taken out bills based on the detection signal. Further, the bill A taken out from the 1,000-yen bill storage unit 21 is detected by the bill passage detector 40l, and the main control 150 is performed by the detection signal.
Is counting the number of sheets taken out. In addition, when the extracted banknote A passes through the inspection unit 36, “note type discrimination” is performed, and the result is supplied to the main control unit 150. Thereby, main controller 150 counts the inspection result by a counter (not shown). Further, banknotes A to be accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 37
Is detected by the banknote passage detector 40g, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of sheets accumulated based on the detection signal.

When the number of sheets taken out by the passage detectors 40n, 40l reaches the set number, the main control unit 150 causes the corresponding bill storage unit 22,
Finish the removal of banknotes from 21. Also, the main controller
The number 150 collates the number of bills depending on whether or not the added number of 1,000-yen bills and 10,000-yen bills match the accumulated number according to the inspection progress.

At this time, the banknote A taken out passes through the inspection section 36,
The "note type discrimination" reconfirms that the ticket type is taken out from the bill storage units 22, 21 corresponding to each ticket. In this “ticket type discrimination”, it is not usually necessary to reconsider, but it is best to reconfirm because there is no setting error when the staff sets the shortage.

Regarding the “judgment of damage”, it is determined whether or not the distribution based on the damage is necessary according to the operation mode at the time of payment. In other words, as long as it is possible to discriminate the type of bill with "true" banknotes, no matter how much dirt, tears, or cellophane tape is applied and repaired, it will be accepted. They may be stored in the 10,000 yen storage unit 20 or 1,000 yen storage unit 21 for withdrawal, or may be stored in the 5,000 yen / excluded / collected banknote storage unit 22. Judgment is necessary, and the latter is not particularly necessary.

In any case, bad bills must be avoided as bills paid out to customers.

In the case of performing the correctness classification control, the unfit banknote is an overlapping banknote that occurs when a normal banknote is taken out, a significant skew, and a pitch that is more than a regulation, that is, an abnormal transport ticket, and the rejected banknote that cannot be classified by the inspection unit 36. Similarly, it is guided to the 5,000 yen / rejected / collected banknote storage unit 22 and accumulated and stored. When the rejected ticket is generated, the first gate 39a is rotated to the right, and is accumulated and stored in the 5000 yen / rejected / collected banknote storage unit 22 as it is. It is possible to switch to a rejected banknote stacking section for the storage location of the rejected banknotes.

When such rejected bills occur, additional removal is performed to replenish the designated number of bills.

Then, the payout bills A accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 37
Are collectively sent out by the mechanism shown in FIG. Thereafter, after the online communication, when the transaction becomes “permitted”, the deposit / withdrawal port 7 is opened and the bill A
Is passed to the customer and the process ends.

Then, the take-out means for taking out the banknotes A in the safe cassettes 16, 17, 18, 19 has a high friction member 304a for taking out the banknotes A in a part of the outer peripheral part, and the conveying path R is provided in a part thereof. And a high-friction member 304a is configured as a take-out roller 304 that stops at a position that does not face the transport path R when the deposit banknotes are transported through the transport path R. It can be used for the function and the transport driving function, and can be used as a transport guide at the time of depositing, so that the mechanism of the transport path R can be simplified and the space efficiency can be improved, and further, maintenance and jam processing can be facilitated.

In addition, the high-friction member 3 of the take-out roller 304 necessary for take-out is used.
04a can be positioned inside the safe cassette 16,17,18,19 to expose other parts such as metal surfaces to the outside, and the high friction when carrying the safe cassette 16,17,18,19 etc. Member 3
04a damage can be prevented.

In the above embodiment in which the stacking roller 302 and the take-out roller 304 are incorporated in the safe cassette 16, 17, 18, 19, the positional relationship between the main body and the safe cassette 16, 17, 18, 19 is strictly constant. It is possible to maintain stable extraction performance and integration performance without doing so. Further, it is not necessary to have a window portion for releasing the banknote surface to make the take-out roller 304 contact the safe cassettes 16, 17, 18, 19 and prevent the take-out of banknotes in the safe cassettes 16, 17, 18, 19. It is possible to eliminate the door and the door opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes in conjunction with the mounting operation of the door to the main body.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the mechanism of the transfer path is simplified and the space efficiency is improved by using the take-out means for the take-out function and the transfer driving function at the time of withdrawal and as the transfer guide at the time of deposit. Can be improved, and moreover,
It is possible to provide an automatic transaction device that can easily perform maintenance and jam handling.
