[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to a storage unit for receiving paper sheets from an upper opening and storing the paper sheets in a stacked state.
Paper provided with a cassette having a feeding port for sequentially feeding one sheet at a time from a lower sheet among the stacked sheets stored in the storage section, and a shutter for opening and closing an upper opening of the storage section. The present invention relates to a leaf processing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a paper sheet processing machine provided with the above-mentioned cassette, a plurality of sheets are received one by one from an upper opening or collectively stored in a lump, and are collectively received in a storage section to be stacked. Is deposited on the lower feeding means, and at the time of feeding, the lowermost stacked paper sheets are fed one by one through the feeding port by driving the feeding means.

[0003] In the case of such a cassette, when the amount of paper sheets stored in the storage section in a stacked state is small, a sufficient load is not applied to the feeding means only by the weight of the paper sheets, and especially, the number of stored paper sheets is large. As the number of sheets decreases, the frictional force with the feeding means does not act on the paper sheets and the feeding error (empty feeding)
Therefore, conventionally, a pressing member for pressing the upper part of the stacked paper sheets in the storage section is provided so that the frictional force of the feeding means sufficiently acts on the paper sheets.

[0004] The pressing member moves out of the storage section when the paper sheets are stored in the storage section, and when the paper sheet is pressed against the feeding means when the storage amount of the paper sheets is reduced. Since it is necessary to advance into the storage section to perform the pressing action of the paper sheet, a moving mechanism of the pressing member is provided. As for the sheet pressing action of the pressing member, there are both a sheet pressing action only when the amount of stored sheets is reduced and a sheet pressing action necessarily performed regardless of the number of sheets.

[0005] Incidentally, this cassette is removed and carried from the sheet processing machine in order to collect the sheets from the sheet processing machine and to replenish the sheets to the processing machine. If the stacked stacking state of the stored paper sheets is disturbed and collapsed during transport of the cassette, a problem occurs when the paper sheets are taken out from the cassette. That is, when the cassette is mounted on the paper sheet processing machine and the paper sheet is fed out, the paper cannot be fed out. When the cassette is opened and the paper sheet is taken out by hand, the broken paper sheet is taken out while aligning. It must be done and it takes a lot of trouble. Further, when a cassette for storing collected paper sheets taken out from the paper sheet processing machine is mounted on another paper sheet processing machine to feed out the paper sheets, the paper cannot be fed out.

For this reason, the paper sheets in the storage section are pressed by using the pressing member of the cassette when the cassette is transported, and the stacked state of the stored paper sheets is maintained. Especially when the cassette is transported, the pressing member is biased toward the bottom plate by a spring so that the sheets can be sandwiched between the pressing member and the bottom plate on the feeding mechanism side regardless of the storage amount of the sheets, A ratchet mechanism is provided to lock the pressing member at the pressing position when the cassette is pulled out so that the pressing member does not move up and down against the spring force due to vibration or the like when carrying the cassette (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-40828).

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the pressing member is locked by the ratchet mechanism at the time of taking out the cassette, as described above, and the weight is placed between the pressing member and the bottom plate on the feeding mechanism side. Although the stacked sheets are pinched to prevent the stacking state from collapsing,
When the ratchet pawl moves due to vibration or the like and easily comes off the pawl teeth on the periphery of the ratchet wheel, and when the ratchet pawl comes off the pawl teeth, the pressing member jumps up due to the vibration of the cassette, and when the jumping up occurs, the paper sheets are disturbed and collapsed. . Also, when the pressing member returns to the pressing state by the spring force, the pressing member presses the crushed and collapsed paper sheets, causing more severe turbulence and collapse.

In the case where the ratchet pawl is engaged with the pawl teeth of the ratchet wheel and the engaged state is maintained in a state where the pressing member jumps up (separates from the paper sheet), the storage paper sheet by the pressing member is used. Is not in the pressed state, so that it is disturbed and collapsed every time vibration is applied to the stored paper sheets. If the stored paper sheets are disturbed and collapsed, the paper sheets may be clogged or the like when the paper is fed out later.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above, regardless of the amount of stored paper sheets, the paper sheets can be reliably pinched when the cassette is moved, the disturbance of the stacking state is eliminated, and the paper sheets after the cassette is loaded. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet processing machine provided with a cassette capable of completely preventing the feeding of sheets.

[0010]

As a means for solving the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a storage section for receiving paper sheets from an upper opening and storing the paper sheets in a stacked state. And a feeding port for sequentially feeding one sheet at a time from the lower sheet among the stacked sheets stored in the storage section,
A sheet processing machine having a cassette having a shutter for opening and closing an upper opening of the storage section, wherein the cassette is removably mounted on a sheet processing machine main body; A restricting member that is selectively positioned at a closed position for closing the upper opening or a retracted position for opening the upper opening when the shutter is in an open state when mounted on the main body; and an upper opening closed by the shutter. A first moving mechanism for moving the regulating member at the retracted position to the closing position during operation, and retracting the regulating member at the closing position after the cassette is mounted on the processing machine main body and the shutter is opened; A second moving mechanism for moving to a position, a supporting member for supporting the paper sheets stored in the storage portion in a stacked state and moving the paper sheets upward, and a non-energized state. Has a brake means for applying a braking force that cannot rotate even under the load of the stored paper sheets, a support member elevating motor for elevating the support member, and one or both of the cassette side and the processing machine main body side The support member is raised and lowered by controlling the drive of the support member elevating / lowering motor, and the support member is located at the ascending position at the time of receiving a sheet and the support member is lowered at the time of feeding out the sheet. The support member is driven up and down by driving the support member elevating motor under the condition that the shutter is closed when the cassette is mounted on the main body of the processing machine. And a control unit for clamping the type.

[0011]

When the cassette is carried, the shutter at the upper opening and the regulating member are closed, the supporting member is raised, and the stored sheets are sandwiched between the regulating member and the supporting member from above and below. In addition, even if the vehicle is subjected to vibration or shaking during transportation, no disturbance is caused in the piled state.

In the case where the cassette is loaded into the main body of the processing machine, in order to prepare for feeding of paper sheets, the support member elevating motor is driven to lower the supporting member to a position suitable for feeding paper sheets from the feeding port. Function as the bottom plate of the storage section.

When preparing for receiving paper sheets, the support member is positioned at a raised position for receiving paper sheets when the shutter is open and the regulating member is at the retracted position. The support member is lowered to store the paper sheets in the storage section.

When removing the cassette from the processing machine body,
When the shutter is closed, the regulating member falls down to a closed state, the support member rises, the sheets are pressed against the lower surface of the regulating member, and the cassette is sandwiched between the regulating member and the supporting member. The normal storage state is maintained without disturbing the stacking state of the stored paper sheets when the sheet is taken out and carried.

When replenishing the bills stored in the cassette 7 to the processing machine body 3, the denomination-specific number data stored in the cassette 7 can be transferred to the processing machine body 3. These details will be described in detail when the operation is described, and are omitted here.

Next, the outline of the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When operating the start button loaded with a deposited bill machine operator to deposit unit 1 at the time of deposit, deposited bills are feed continuously separated sequentially one by one by a feed mechanism 1A, sent from the conveying path 9 ₁ to the conveying path 9 ₂ is, authenticity and denomination of the bill is identified during the identification unit H ₁ pass. Unidentifiable banknotes unidentifiable when the bill is identified rejected bill traveling route 9 ₃ navel false bills or the like is sent at the time of identification, are stored in the reject banknote returning unit 1B. The bill sent to the reject bill return unit 1B can be freely taken out by the machine operator. The true bill is conveyed sent from the terminal end of the conveyance path 9 ₂ to the conveyance path 9 ₄ rightward in the figure, divided pieces corresponding to out denomination segment piece group provided that path 9 ₄ Developing is The bills are electrically switched, and the bills of 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen are sent to the corresponding temporary holding units 10, 10, 10. At this time, if there is a storage unit of a denomination whose storage amount is full among the storage units 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , and 4 ₃ , the banknote of the denomination is sent to the temporary storage unit 10 for overflow. Other denomination bills are sent to the reject bill return unit 1B as unrecognizable bills. Next, by operating the deposit approval button, each of the bottom plates 11, 11,.
Are opened, and the temporarily stored banknotes are stored in the corresponding storage sections 4 ₁ ,

[0042] When the operator collecting process instruction button operation from the machine operating section (not shown), bills in the storage portion 4 ₁ is fed out by the feeding mechanism 8, passes the transport path 9 _5, 9 _6, at that time denomination check is performed by the recognition unit H _2, the denomination legitimate bills by switching piece from the middle of the conveyance path 9 _7, fed to the conveyance path 9 ₈ toward the right in the figure, from the path 9 ₈ fed into the escrow portion 10 of the right end lower via route 9 _4. The identification unit number count based on the identification signal of bills with H ₂ is also made that it suspends the reach the feeding operation of the feeding mechanism 8 in a predetermined number (maximum hold the number of the temporary stocking portion 10). Bill feeding sheets from storage unit 4 ₁ continues to feed continues from the storage unit 4 ₂ when not reached the predetermined number, temporary extension of the housing portion 4 ₂ of the feeding mechanism 8 and reaches a predetermined number during the feeding Interrupt. Also be performed from the storage unit 4 ₂ feed all of the bill,
Yet if it does not reach the predetermined number continues the feed from the storage unit 4 _3, suspends the feeding of the feeding mechanism 8 of the housing part 4 ₃ bill reaches the predetermined number during the feeding. In the case where the bill storage portion 4 ₃ does not reach the predetermined number even all been unwound, the Repetitive out all regular bill was is held in the escrow unit 10 of the housing portion 12 the upper.

When the feeding mechanism 8 is temporarily stopped during feeding or after the bills of all the storage sections 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , and 4 ₃ have been fed (in the latter case, the total number of bills is less than a predetermined number). ) To the transport routes 9 ₅ , 9 ₆ , 9 ₇ , 9 ₈ ,
9 all bills in ₄ bill storage operation from the escrow unit 10 after a temporary hold to end time to the storage unit 12 is performed. Details of this storing operation will be described later.

In the discriminating section H ₂ , different kinds of banknotes (notes other than 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen banknotes, which are discriminated as unrecognizable banknotes), false banknotes, and abnormal conveyance banknotes are discriminated. It is recovered in being straight conveyance path 9 ₇ upward dispensing unit 2 (shared as reject banknotes collecting portion during the recovery process).

The number of regular banknotes identified by the identification unit H ₂ is stored for each denomination for each minute stored in the temporary storage unit 10 above the storage unit 12, and the control unit (2) on the main body side
77 ₂ to the temporary storage, storage unit 12 from the escrow unit 10
Control unit (2) 7 each time a banknote is stored in the storage unit
7 control unit ₂ from the cassette 7 side (1) 77 ₁ to which data is transferred and stored. On the other hand, at the time of data transfer, the control unit (2)
Data temporarily stored in the 77 ₂ is cleared to prepare for storage of the identification data by the recognition unit of H ₂ bill to be re-feeding resumed (number stored for each denomination).

Each time the banknotes stored in the temporary storage section 10 above the storage section 12 are stored in the storage section 12, the number data of the denominations of the temporarily stored banknotes is transmitted to the control section (2). control unit 77 ₂ from the cassette 7 side (1) 77 ₁
And is added to the already stored number-of-money-type number data. As a result, the denomination number data of the banknotes stored in the storage unit 12 is stored in the control unit (1).
In this way, all the banknotes in the storage units 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , and 4 ₃ are collected in the storage unit 12, and the data on the number of denominations of the banknotes stored in the storage unit 12 is sent to the control unit (1) 77 ₁ . The stored billing operation inside the processor body 3 ends. Incidentally cassette 7 is stored data is also stored in the control unit (1) 77 ₁ then withdrawn from the body 3a (denomination count data) is maintained.

Next, a description will be given of a settlement and collection operation in which the cassette 7 is transported to a checkout station and collected from the cassette 7 to the checkout station. First, pull out the drawer body 3b from the machine body 3a, pull out the cassette 7 upward, bring it to the checkout station, attach it to the checkout circulating banknote processing machine located in the checkout station, and pay out the number of denominations of bills drawn out from the cassette 7. Memorize the data,
Control of the cassette 7 (1) 77 control unit the denomination count data stored in the _first (2) 77 ₂ stores the data transfer collates comparison, stores the verification result in the aircraft.
Meanwhile denomination count data of the control unit (1) 77 ₁ of the cassette 7 will be cleared at the data transfer. This ends the payment and collection work.

The operation when the storage amount of the banknotes in the storage unit 12 becomes full during the collection of the banknotes from the storage units 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , 4 ₃ into the cassette 7 is as follows. After a predetermined number of bills (the maximum amount of the temporarily stored banknotes that can be temporarily stored) is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 10 of the storage unit 12, the banknote amount of the storage unit 12 is full at the time when the banknotes are stored in the storage unit 12. Is detected,
When the fullness is detected, the bill collection process is interrupted, and the feeding of the bill is not restarted. The empty cassette 7 (the control unit (1) 77 ₁ of the denomination number data is cleared and has a zero) bill collecting process from by replacing the cassette 7 is full Bring that this case is the checkout counter Resume.
Thus to bring full cassette 7 and then storage portion 4 ₁ in the cassette 7 mounted, 4 _2, 4 two cassettes 7 all the bills were collected for ₃ to checkout counter performs settlement recovery operations described above Will be. When transporting the cassette 7 to the checkout station, it goes without saying that the transport safe section 6 is also brought together to perform the checkout and collection work.

There may be cases where it is necessary to collect bills from the storage sections 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , 4 ₃ during work, and this will be described. Also payment processing continues many times, for example, both of the storage unit 4 ₁ and the transport safe section 6 of the 1000 yen note may become full. In this case, the midway collection process command button is operated. Thus bill amount (number of sheets of leaving banknotes of minimum limit required withdrawal) of a predetermined number from being e.g. thousand yen banknote storage unit 4 ₁ becomes full is fed out by the feeding mechanism 8, the conveying path 9 ₅ , 9 ₆ ,
9 _7, 9 _8, 9 ₄ is temporarily held in the escrow unit 10 of the housing portion 12 the upper via is recovered into the housing portion 12, the denomination count data of the recovered paper money stored in the control unit (1) 77 ₁ Is done. This operation is the same as the processing at the time of the collection processing command operation, but the difference is that at the time of the collection processing command operation, the storage unit 4
_While all of the bills ₁ , 4, ₂ and 4 ₃ are to be collected, when the midway collection processing command button is operated, the remaining amount of stored bills, which is the minimum amount of stored bills necessary for dispensing from the storage section that is full of bills, is The point is that bills are fed out and collected in the cassette 7.

Next, from the cassette 7 to the storage sections 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ ,
To 4 ₃ The bill replenishment process to replenish banknotes will be described.
At the start of business, the empty cassette 7 stored in the checkout station is mounted on the circulating banknote processing machine for payment, and a predetermined number of 1,000-yen banknotes, 5,000-yen banknotes, and 10,000-yen banknotes (circulating banknote processing machine 3 (Predetermined number of sheets required for dispensing) in the cassette 7. The control section of the cassette 7 (1) to 77 ₁ denomination count data of stored banknotes is held stored. The cassette 7 is transported to the place where the circulation type banknote processing machine 3 is placed. The drawer frame 3b is pulled out from the machine body 3a toward the front, the cassette 7 is inserted and mounted from above to below, and the drawer frame 3b is pushed into the machine body 3a. At this time, the empty transport safe section 6 is also carried from the checkout station and set on the machine body 3. Then, the shutter 13 is opened.

When the support member 48 is lowered to the position II in FIG. 7B, the bottom plates 11, 11 are closed to prepare for the subsequent collection process.

[0054] support member 48 in the "middle recovery processing instructions Operation" The following rose from II position in FIG. 7 (B), the stacked banknotes upper surface of the support member 48 hangs shielding the sensor S _3, S ₃ '"bill It stops at the "transfer position III" (FIG. 7C). Support member 48
The vertical position of the support member 48 changes depending on the amount of stored banknotes when the banknote transfer position II is, but when the upper surface of the stacked banknotes mounted on the support member 48 cuts off the sensors S ₃ and S ₃ ′. Is a position where the temporarily stored banknotes on the bottom plates 11 and 11 are transferred from the bottom plates 11 and 11 onto the stacked banknotes on the support member 48 at the position of the support member 48.

In FIG. 7C, the support member 48 is in the bill transfer position.
When the position is set to III, the bottom plates 11, 11 are opened, and the temporarily stored banknotes are transferred to the upper surface of the stacked banknotes on the upper surface of the support member 48. Next, the support member 48 is lowered and stopped when the upper surface of the stacked bill passes the sensors S ₄ and S ₄ ′ (FIG. 7).
(The support member 48 of (C) is located at the II position). At that time, the bottom plates 11, 11 are also closed. In the "intermediate collection process" that occurs thereafter, the operation of "II position of support member 48 → III position ... (temporary banknote transfer) ... new II position" is similarly performed.

At the time of collection work such as at the end of business, "collection processing command operation" is performed. If the "intermediate collection process" has not been performed at least once at the time of this operation, the sequence described in the operation description of the "intermediate collection process", that is, FIG.
(A), the storing operation according to the order of FIG. 7 (B) and FIG. 7 (C) is performed. That is, in terms of the vertical movement of the support member 48,
[I position → temporary banknote transfer → II position]… (The next banknote is automatically temporarily stored.)… [II position → III position → temporary banknote transfer → new II position]… ( Automatically temporarily hold the next bill) ... [same]. The above operation is performed in the storage unit 4
The banknotes in ₁ , 4, ₂ and 4 ₃ are all fed out and stored in the storage section 12.
Continue until collected.

FIG. 7 shows the case where the "collection process" at the end of business is performed after the "intermediate collection process" is performed even once.
The recovery operation starts from the state shown in FIG. 7B or FIG. That is, in the vertical movement of the support member 48, the operation of [II position → III position → temporary banknote transfer → new II position] is automatically repeated many times, and the storage units 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , 4 ₃ Then, all the bills inside are collected into the cassette 7. FIG. 7D shows a state in which all the bills are collected, the support member 48 is located at the normal collection standby position II, and the bottom plates 11, 11 are closed.

When all the bills are collected in the cassette 7, the shutter 13 of the cassette 7 is closed.
(Drawer frame 3b with built-in cassette 7 in body 3a)

When the start button operation of the circulation type banknote processing machine for settlement is performed, first, the support member 48 descends and is positioned at the banknote payout position IV in FIG. 8B. This movement clockwise rotation of the motor 45 in FIG. 2, is performed by the switching instead of the lower limit sensor S ₂ by the detection portion 76 of the holder 47.

7 (F) and 8 (A), when the amount of banknotes stored in the storage section 12 of the cassette 7, ie, the amount of collected banknotes, is small, the contact portion 49 which moves integrally with the support member 48 is provided with a roller. The contact portion 49 presses the roller 54 from above to below when the support member 48 moves down to the position shown in FIG. However, when the contact portion 49 descends from above the roller 54, the lever 53 provided with the roller 54 shown in FIG.
Rotates clockwise with respect to the first swing lever 51 against the torsion spring 55, does not swing the first swing lever 51, and extends the regulating member 21 in the closed position. The locking claw 61a which stops at the second position continues to lock the pin 59, and the regulating member 21 remains at the closed position. When the amount of banknotes stored in the storage unit 12 is large, the contact portion 49 of the holder 47 is positioned below the roller 54 even in the state of FIG.
The contact portion 49 does not move the roller 54 when the roller 8 moves to the position shown in FIG. 8B.

When the state shown in FIG. 8 (B) is reached, the feeding means 16 is driven, and all the bills in the storage section 12 are fed and the settlement process is performed. Note 8 decreases bills in storing portion 12 during paper currency payout of (B), when the accumulated paper currency upper surface is lowered from the sensor S _5, S ₅ ', the sensor S _5,
S ₅ ′ enters the light-emitting / receiving state, and the motor (not shown) is operated to advance the pressing member 80 into the storage section 12 and press the upper surface of the stacked banknotes. Then, as the bill decreases, the pressing member 80 also presses and holds the bill while maintaining the pressing posture.
In this way, all bills in the storage section 12 are fed. At the stage when the bill is fed, the pressing member 80 is retracted to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG.

When all the banknotes in the storage section 12 are exhausted, the support member 48 rises, and the contact portion of the holder 47 of the support member 48 contacts the roller 54 during the ascending movement. The first swing lever 51 is integrally rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 50, and the other end of the first swing lever 51 is connected to the other end of the second swing lever 51 by a pin 71 and a long hole 72. The moving lever 69 is rotated clockwise about the shaft 70, and a pin 73 and a long hole 74 are attached to the second swing lever 69.
The slide lever 66 connected by the lever moves downward, and the locking claw 6 connected to the slide lever 66 by the pin 67 and the elongated hole 63.

At this time, the shutter 13 is disengaged from the roller 38, but the pin 59 on the regulating member 21 side is locked by the claw 59, and the spring 58
The regulating member 21 which is about to stand up due to the urging does not stand up and keeps the closed state as shown by the solid line in FIG. Thus, care is taken to prevent stored bills from jumping out of the storage section 12 when the shutter 13 is opened.

Next, a replenishment command button of the machine body 3a is operated. As a result, in FIG. 2, the motor 45 is driven in the opposite direction to the above, and the support member 48 and the holder 47 are lowered integrally, and the abutment portion 49 is moved in the middle of the
4, the lever 53 is free to rotate in the direction in which the roller 54 is lowered, so that the lever 53 rotates clockwise about the shaft 52 in FIG.

In this way, the supporting member 48 is lowered to the lowermost position, and functions as the bottom plate of the storage section 12.
It is ready to be fed one by one. The movement of the support member 48 is the movement from the position II 'to the position IV in FIG. 8E in FIG. The support member 48 is positioned at the bill feeding position IV in FIG.
When the banknote is moved to and stopped, the feeding unit 16 is driven to feed the banknotes in the storage unit 12 in the cassette 7, and when all the banknotes are fed, the feeding is stopped. Its feeding enters the middle stored banknotes upper surface level sensor S _5, S ₅ falls below 'the pressing member 80 is housing portion 12 to press hold the banknotes top. The pressing member 80 is pressed and held until all the bills are fed out, and after the bills are fed out, returns to the retracted position outside the storage unit 12.

When all the bills in the storage section 12 have been fed, the support member 48 automatically rises from the position IV in FIG. 8E, and the holder 47 that moves integrally with the support member 48 during the ascent. The contact portion 49 hits the roller 54, and as described above, the first swing lever 51 swings and pushes up the sliding lever 66 through the second swing lever 69, whereby the locking claw 61 is moved clockwise. The regulating member 21 is unlocked, and the regulating member 21 stands up and enters an open state. Support member 48 is further raised, is stopped at the time of switching of the upper limit sensor S _1, consisting in FIG 7 (A) state stopped at position I in FIG. 8 (F). Then, it prepares for the subsequent “intermediate collection processing operation” or “collection processing operation”.

On the other hand, the banknotes fed from the cassette 7 are smaller than the maximum storage amount of the temporary holding unit 10 because the amount of the banknote-dispensed replenishment banknotes stored in the cassette 7 of the banknote type is paid out from the cassette 7. All the banknotes that have been stored are temporarily stored in the respective temporary storage units 10, 10, 10.

[0078] Thus the bottom plate 11, 11 at all stages of the bill is finished is housed into the escrow unit 10, 10, 10 in the cassette 7, ... it is opened, the storage unit 4 _1, 4 _2, 4 ₃
The banknotes are stored, so that the withdrawal processing and the payment processing can be performed.

The first and second moving mechanisms 23 and 24 for opening and closing the regulating member 21 are typical examples shown in the drawings, and need not be limited to these. Changing the other design is optional. Other configurations are not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Further, it is needless to say that the present invention may be applied to the storage units 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , 4 ₃ and the transport safe unit 6 to have the same structure as the cassette 7.

The case of manually collecting and replenishing banknotes from the cassette 7 at the checkout station will be described. The payment data processing machine at the checkout station is electrically connected to the cassette 7, and the control section ( 1) 77 and transfers to the denomination count data in _one adjustment data processor clears the data stored in the control unit (1) 77 _1. On the other hand, the support member 48 is lowered by a predetermined amount, that is, moved from the II 'position to the II position by a command operation from the settlement data processor.
Then, the door 81 of the cassette 7 is opened using the key, and the stored banknotes are extracted by hand. At this time, the clamping of the stored bills by the regulating member 21 and the supporting member 48 is released, and the bills can be easily taken out. At this time, since the shutter 13 is in the closed state, the regulating member 21 remains in the closed state. Then, the extracted bill is manually calculated or applied to a bill calculator, and the data is input to a settlement data processor to be compared and collated.

When replenishing bills by hand, the support portion 48 of the cassette 7 is moved to the lowest position IV by operating the settlement data processor. When the doors 81 are opened, the banknotes are stacked in an aligned and stacked state, and when the banknotes have been stored, the settlement data processor is operated to raise the support member 48 and position the support member 48 at the II 'position. S ₄ ,
It is driven by driving for a predetermined time after the bill detection by S ₄ ′). As a result, the stored banknotes are tightly held between the restricting member 21 in the closed position (the restricting member 21 is also in the closed position since the opening of the door 81 is performed in the closed state of the shutter 13) and the support member 48. . Next, the door body 81
Close and lock. Furthermore the denomination count data storage bill manually input by the adjustment data processor, the control unit of the cassette 7 (1) 77 ₁ transferred is stored into. This cassette 7
The electrical connection with the settlement data processor is released, and the operation of replenishing the bills into the cassette 7 is completed.

[0082]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the cassette is separated from the processing machine body and handled, the stacked sheets stored in the storage section of the cassette are supported by the regulating member. Since it is sandwiched between members, even if vibrations are given during removal or transportation of the cassette, the stacked state of paper sheets does not collapse inside, and it does not hinder subsequent feeding of paper sheets, It is possible to completely prevent a defective feeding or an impossible feeding due to the collapse of the product stack.
