As a result of the change, there is a problem that a feeding abnormality such as a double feeding of a bill or an oblique feeding occurs.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and has a constant positional relationship between a bill on a mounting plate and a pay-out mechanism, thereby preventing a bill from being fed abnormally such as double feeding and diagonal feeding. The purpose is to provide a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, when depositing banknotes, the deposited banknotes are temporarily stored in a temporary storage section, and then can be moved up and down into a deposit and withdrawal storage section below the temporary storage section. In the state where the storage plate is set at the lowermost part of the deposit and withdrawal storage unit while dispensing bills, the lower part of the deposit and withdrawal storage unit is stored in the stacking state on the placing plate arranged in In the circulating banknote pay-in / pay-out device in which the banknotes on the placement plate are sequentially fed out one by one from the lowermost portion by a payout mechanism disposed at the bottom, the banknotes are fixed to the lower part of the deposit / withdrawal storage unit. A stationary mounting plate disposed in a state, a mounting plate having a movable mounting plate disposed movably in a vertical direction in the deposit and withdrawal storage section, and the movable mounting plate formed on the fixed mounting plate, A concave portion in which the upper surface of the mounting plate can move further below the upper surface of the fixed mounting plate; A notch, characterized by comprising providing an elevating mechanism for moving the movable mounting plate in the vertical direction. Further, the present invention is characterized in that an upper surface of the fixed mounting plate is provided on a side where the feeding mechanism is provided, and the movable mounting plate is provided on a side opposite to a side where the feeding mechanism is provided. And

[0006]

According to the present invention, when deposited banknotes are stored in the temporary storage section, the movable mounting plate is in a state where the uppermost banknote on the movable mounting plate is located immediately below the temporary storage section. It rises and stops. Next, when the shutter disposed below the temporary storage unit is opened, the banknotes in the temporary storage unit are stacked in a stacked state on the uppermost banknotes of the movable mounting plate. Next, the movable mounting plate is lowered to the lowermost portion where the upper surface of the movable mounting plate is set slightly lower than the upper surface of the fixed mounting plate. Along with this, the shutter of the temporary storage unit closes, preparing for the next deposit processing. With the lowering of the movable mounting plate to the lowermost position, the banknotes accumulated on the movable mounting plate are moved onto the fixed mounting plate. Thereafter, when a dispensing instruction is issued, the payout mechanism sequentially pays out the banknotes one by one from the lowermost banknote on the fixed placement plate. In this case, since the fixed placement plate is provided on the side where the payout mechanism is disposed, the positional relationship between the bills on the fixed placement plate and the payout mechanism is always constant, and the accumulated bills in the deposit / withdrawal storage unit are dispensed when dispensing. It can be paid out in a stable state. As a result, double feeding, diagonal feeding, and the like of banknotes can be reliably prevented.
