The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out device having a batch storage for carrying out, replenishing, and collecting.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art In financial institutions such as banks, automatic transaction devices equipped with a deposit / withdrawal device that performs deposit / withdrawal processing of banknotes (cash) with customers are installed in stores and the like, thereby contributing to improvement in transaction operations.

In recent years, the depositing function and the dispensing function have been integrated, and among the deposits received from customers during deposit transactions, reusable currency has been sorted by denomination and stored in the denomination storage. Accordingly, recirculation-type banknote pay-in / pay-out devices that are used at the time of withdrawal transactions have been put into practical use one after another.

In such a recycle-type banknote pay-in / pay-out device, a detachable collective storage that can collectively store banknotes of each denomination used in transactions is provided. When loading or replenishing banknotes into the storage, the banknotes are fed out from the collective storage and sorted and stored in the denomination storage, and when the banknotes in the denomination storage are collected at the time of scrutiny, etc., A proposal has been made in which banknotes are fed out of each denomination storage and collectively collected in the collective storage.

According to this, it is not necessary for the staff of the financial institution to transport a number of denomination storages at the time of bill loading at the start of operation of the device and at the time of bill collection at the time of close inspection, and the batch storage is also required for the device. And a reject storage for storing reject banknotes generated at the time of withdrawal transaction or the like.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the conventional banknote pay-in / pay-out device provided with the above-mentioned batch storage has the following problems.

In other words, recently, financial institutions have been promoting the operation of automatic transaction equipment on holidays and the operation of unmanned stores, and accordingly, it is necessary to consider the increase in the amount of replenishment bills or the loading per device. However, in a conventional banknote depositing / dispensing device, since the banknote storage capacity is limited, the operation according to the transaction volume of the store to be installed is limited, and future loading or replenishment of banknotes can be performed. There is a problem that it is not possible to cope when the required amount increases.

In addition, if the banknote storage capacity is increased in the bulk storage, the bulk storage is inevitably large, so it is necessary to secure a mounting space for the large bulk storage in the device, and after all, the This leads to an increase in size.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and realizes a banknote pay-in / pay-out device capable of minimizing the size of the device and sufficiently coping with a future increase in the amount of loaded or replenished banknotes. It is intended to do so.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention feeds bills one by one from the batch storage and sends them to the discrimination unit when loading and replenishing bills into the denomination storage, and stores the denominations according to the denomination discrimination result. The banknotes are stored in the warehouse, and among the banknotes inserted by the customer at the time of the deposit transaction, the banknotes that are discriminated as genuine bills that can be deposited by the discriminating unit and are genuine bills that can be used for withdrawal are sorted by denomination and stored by denomination. In the case of withdrawal transaction, it pays out to the customer by paying it out of the denomination storage according to the denomination and amount specified by the customer at the time of withdrawal transaction, and passes the bill drawn out from the denomination storage through the discrimination unit at the time of bill collection. A recycle-type banknote pay-in / pay-out device which is integrated in a batch storage, comprising a plurality of the batch storages, one of which is detachably mounted on the back side of the device, and the batch storage mounted in the device. To other bulk storage Are connected in parallel and adjacent to each other without being attached to the device, and furthermore, a feeding means for feeding out the banknotes in each batch storage, and transporting the bills fed from the connected batch storage to the device. And a transporting means for feeding.

[Action]

In the present invention having the above-described configuration, at the start of the operation of the apparatus, first, bills are fed out from the collective storage mounted on the apparatus, sorted by denomination via the discrimination unit, and loaded into the denomination storage.

Then, when the banknotes in the denomination storage are insufficient due to the transaction, the banknotes are fed out from the lump storage, the banknotes are replenished to the denomination storage in the same manner as described above, and the lump storage that has been replenished is further refilled. When is empty, the banknotes are paid out from another collective storage, and the banknotes are replenished via the feeding path of the collective storage mounted on the apparatus.

Therefore, according to this, bills can be loaded and replenished from a plurality of collective storages, and the capacity of the replenishment bills can be increased, and the necessary amount of the replenishment bills according to the transaction volume can be secured. Can be used for holiday operation and operation at unmanned stores.

Also, there is only one batch storage directly mounted on the device, and the storage amount of banknotes per unit does not need to be larger than before, so it is necessary to increase the mounting space of the batch storage for the device. However, it is possible to minimize the size of the apparatus.

The total number of bills counted counter n15 is a counter that counts the total number of the counted 10,000-yen bills in the counting process of the banknotes remaining in the batch cassette described later, and operates the value of the one-time batched bill count number counter n4. It is added and stored for each break.

The total number-of-thousand-notes counting number counter n16 is a counter that counts the total number of similarly counted 1,000 yen notes.

The total number of collected tickets counter n17 is a counter that counts the total number of all-yen tickets collected in the collective cassette 11 in the collecting process described later, and the value of the one-time all-collected number of tickets collected number counter n7 is divided every operation. It is added and stored.

The total thousand-note collection number counter n18 is a counter that counts the total number of thousand-yen tickets collected.

The total collection rejection number counter n19 is a counter that counts the total number of banknotes stored in the rejection banknote storage unit 28 in the same collection process, and stores the value of the single collection rejection number counter n9 for each collection interval. It is.

Addresses subsequent to n20 are counters for storing the contents relating to another batch cassette 15b as in the case of n to n19.

 The following equation holds for each of the above counters.

n10 = Σn1 n11 = Σn2 n12 = Σn3 + Σn6 n15 = Σn4 n16 = Σn5 n17 = Σn7 n18 = Σn8 n19 = Σn9 The total number of deposits and withdrawals rejects in the reject cassette 16 in the batch cassette 15a can be obtained by the following equation. .

Remaining number of 10,000-yen tickets in batch cassette 15a = n15-n13 + n17 Remaining number of 1,000-yen tickets in batch cassette 15a = n16-n14 + n18 Total number of deposits and withdrawals rejected = m13 + m14 + m15 + m21 + n19 + n39 ... The bill amount in 34 and 35 can be obtained by the following equation.

The number of banknotes in the denomination cassettes 34 and 35 for ten thousand yen notes 券 (n10 + m11) − (m19 + n17) The number of banknotes in the denomination cassette 33 for thousand yen notes ≒ (n11 + m12) − (m20 + n18) Confirm that holds.

<10,000 yen ticket> Number of sheets in cassettes 34, 35 by type + reject banknote storage 2
The number of 10,000 yen notes in 8 = (n10 + m11)-(m19 + n17) <5,000 yen notes> The number of 5,000 yen notes in reject bill storage unit 28 = m9 = m14 <1,000 yen notes> Number of sheets + number of 1,000 yen notes in reject banknote storage unit 28 = (n11 + m12)-(m20 + n18) Next, the operation of the above-described structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 and FIGS. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10.

7 to 10 are schematic side views showing the operation of the present embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a state in which bills are loaded, FIG.
The figure shows a withdrawal transaction, and FIG. 10 shows a bill collection.

<Bill Loading> First, at the start of the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus 1, the attendant transports the batch cassette 15a15b and the reject cassette 16 from the original to the automatic transaction apparatus 1.

At this time, the reject cassette 16 is empty,
The banknotes of the respective denominations required for the transaction in the original form are stored in advance in the batch storage section 17 of the batch cassettes 15a15b.

When transported to the automatic transaction apparatus 1, the clerk opens the rear door 1a shown in FIG. 11, sets the batch cassette 15a and the reject cassette 16 in the CCAD 2, and furthermore, the batch cassette 15a
The stopper 55 of the batch cassette 15b is engaged with the latch 54, and the batch cassette 15b is connected to the batch cassette 15a.
Note that the connection between the batch cassette 15a and the batch cassette 15b is CCAD
It may be performed before setting to 2.

When the batch cassettes 15a and 15b and the reject cassette 16 are set in the CCAD 2 in this manner, the switch group 9 shown in FIG.
The batch cassette set detection switch in 3 is turned on, and the switch reading circuit 87 detects the set of the batch cassette 15a based on the signal, and the detection signal is sent to the CCAD control unit 80 via the I / O interface circuit 82. Sent.

This allows the CCAD control unit 80 to operate the batch cassette control units 97a and 97a.
An instruction is issued to each of 7b and the batch cassette data holding unit 98
The identification numbers of the batch cassettes 15a and 15b are read from a and 98b, and the identification numbers are written and stored in the address n of the RAM 84 shown in FIG.

After setting the cassettes 15a, 15b and 16, the attendant inputs a bill loading instruction using the operation keys of the internal operation unit 6.

The control unit 7 receives this input, and receives the C of CCAD2 shown in FIG.
A command for instructing the loading operation to be started is transmitted to the CAD control unit 80. When the control unit 80 receives the command for starting the loading operation, the internal state is switched to the loading mode, and the counters n1 to n6 shown in FIG. Reset the value,
It is confirmed that the end detector 25a of 17 does not detect the end, that is, that the banknote to be loaded is stored in the collective storage unit 17.

Here, if the end is detected, the inoperative data is added and a response is returned, and this process is stopped. However, when it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the CCAD 2 starts the bill loading operation.

 Hereinafter, the operation of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

The bill feeding unit 22 is operated to separate the bills stacked on the stage 18 one by one from the top and feed them out. The bills are conveyed by the traveling path 51 as shown by the arrow in FIG.
Send to

The discriminating unit 13 sequentially discriminates the fed bills for true / false, denomination, discrimination, and fitness, and detects the presence or absence of abnormal running and sends them back.

Of the bills sent out, the bills that can be loaded for dispensing with genuine 1,000-yen bills are sent to the denomination bill stacking unit 39 by operating the switching blade 14h, and the denomination cassette 33
And the counter n2 shown in FIG. 4 is counted up every time banknotes are accumulated.

Banknotes that can be loaded for dispensing with genuine ten thousand notes are operated by the switching blade 14i or 14j, and the denomination-specific banknote stacking unit
The paper is fed to 40 or 41, and is directly accumulated on the stage 37 or 38 of the cassette 34 or 35, and the counter n1 shown in FIG. 4 is counted up every time bills are accumulated.

This operation is repeated until the bills set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects them, but the number of stacked sheets of any one of the stages 36, 37, and 38 reaches the hold allowable value (for example, 100). , The operation of the bill feeding section 22 is interrupted, and the counter n shown in FIG.
After adding the values of 1 and n2 to the counters n10 and n11, the counters n1 and n2 are reset.

Then, the stage of the cassette that has reached the hold allowable value is lowered by a motor (not shown) corresponding to the hold allowable value, and when the stage is lowered, the bill feeding unit 22 is operated again to repeat the bill loading operation.

When the bills on the stage 18 of the batch cassette 15 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the end, the bill feeding unit 22
Is stopped, and when the last banknote arrives at the denomination cassette, the transport operation by the traveling path 51 is stopped, and the counters n1 and n2 are stopped.
Are added to the counters n10 and n11, respectively, and the counters n1 and n2 are reset again.

Finally, stages 36,37,38 of cassettes 33,34,35 by denomination
All at once, and the bills accumulated on the stages 36, 37, 38 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35, and the bill loading operation ends.

In addition, the bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 as denomination unknown or the bill whose abnormal traveling is detected are switched blades 14
e, 14f to operate the loading and rejecting banknote stacking unit 24
To the loading and replenishment reject banknote storage unit 23, count up the counter n3, and add the value of the counter n3 to the counter n2 every time the loading operation is interrupted. Reset.

During the bill loading operation, the full detectors 49c and 50c of the denomination cassettes 34 and 35 or the full detectors 48c of the denomination cassette 33 are displayed.
Is detected, the switching blade 14e is operated to feed the collected banknotes to the collecting banknote stacking unit 21 and to stack them on the partition plate 19.

Then, when the end detector 25a of the collective storage unit 17 detects the end, the bill feeding unit 22 is stopped, the transport operation by the traveling path 51 is also stopped, and the loading operation is completed.

The CCAD control unit 80 responds to the bill loading end response by counting the number of sheets loaded for each denomination.
The control unit 7 adds the respective values of .about.n19 to the control unit 7 and stores the counted number data of the denomination in a predetermined storage unit.

In addition, since the processing result of the bill loading is displayed to the attendant by the display unit of the internal operation unit 6, the attendant confirms the completion of the loading, and closes the rear door 1a to check that the transaction is possible with the customer. I do.

<Payment Transaction> When the customer presses the receipt transaction key on the customer operation display section 5 and inserts a card (not shown) into the card slot or passbook passbook insertion slot, the control section 7 of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 and the center (not shown) are connected. When predetermined communication is performed between the devices and it is confirmed that there is no problem, the control unit 7 transmits a command for starting the deposit processing to the CCAD control unit 80.

Upon receiving the deposit processing start command, the CCAD control unit 80 switches the internal state to the deposit mode, resets the counters m to m7 shown in FIG. 4, respectively, opens the shutter 11 shown in FIG. Is set between the bill guides 9 of the customer service section 8.

At this time, the customer service section 8 is in the deposit / withdrawal position shown in FIG.

When the customer inserts and sets a bill and the sensor (not shown) detects the bill, the shutter 11 closes, and the CCAD control unit 80 transmits the data indicating that the bill is set in response to the state sense command periodically transmitted from the control unit 7. Add the response and send back.

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a CCAD2 deposit counting command, and instructs processing of the bill set between the bill guides 9.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

The customer service section 8 is driven by a motor not shown in FIG.
, And the bills between the bill guides 9 are sent one by one to the traveling path 51 by the separating mechanism 10 and taken in.
The paper is sequentially conveyed to the discrimination unit 13 through the traveling path 51.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, and damage of the conveyed banknotes, detects the presence or absence of abnormal running, and sends the banknotes backward.

The bills that are discriminated as genuine and genuine in this discrimination unit 13 are:
Activate the switching blade 14c and send it to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53, and according to the denomination discrimination result, the counter m, m
Count up 1, m2 respectively.

Of the banknotes sent to the cash-in / pay-out unit 53, the one-thousand-yen note operates the switching blade 14h to operate the denomination-specific banknote stacking unit 39.
And accumulated on the denomination banknote temporary holding plate 42, and the counter m4 is counted up each time.

Similarly, the million-yen bills are sent to the denomination-specific banknote stacking unit 40 by operating the switching blade 14i, and are accumulated and accumulated on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plate 43, and the counter m3 is counted up each time.

In addition, bills that are discriminated as genuine but discriminated as unfit notes, and bills that have been discriminated as 5,000 yen notes that are not deemed to be circulated are not reused for withdrawal, so the switching blade 14j is operated as a reject bill. The banknotes are then sent to the denomination banknote stacking unit 41 and stacked on the denomination banknote temporary holding plate 44, and the counters m5, m6, and m7 are counted up according to the denominations.

On the other hand, bills discriminated from counterfeit bills or bills in which abnormal conveyance has been detected are conveyed to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 by the traveling path 51 and are stacked one by one.

At this time, the customer service unit 8 is changed to the receiving position shown in FIG. 5C by a motor (not shown) and is on standby. When the deposit counting process of the bills set by the customer between the bill guides 9 of the customer service unit 8 is completed. Then, the banknotes accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are sent to the banknote guide 9 of the customer service section 8.

Thereafter, the customer service unit 8 is returned to the deposit / withdrawal position, the shutter 11 is opened, and the bill between the bill guides 9 is returned to the customer, and then the shutter 11 is closed.

Then, the CCAD control unit 80 returns the response of the payment counting end to the control unit 7 after adding the number data counted for each denomination, that is, the count values of the counters m, m1, and m2.

The control unit 7 receives the data, calculates the amount of the denomination and the total amount, displays the amount on the display unit of the customer operation display unit 5, counts this data as a deposit count, and stores it in a predetermined storage unit (not shown). Remember.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the display unit and presses a confirmation key on the customer operation display unit 5, the CCAD 2 controls the control unit 7.
, The banknote-specific banknote temporary holding plates 42, 43 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 are retracted in the direction of arrow J, and the banknotes accumulated on the banknote-specific banknote temporary holding plates 42, 43 are They are stored in the cassettes 33 and 34, respectively. At this timing, the values of the counters m to m4 are respectively added to the values of the counters m8 to m12, and the values of the counters m8 to m12 are updated and stored.

Next, the denomination-specific banknote separation mechanism 47 is driven to separate the damaged and 5,000-yen bills stacked on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plate 44 one by one and sent out to the traveling path 51, and the discrimination unit. Transport to 13.

Then, by operating the switching blades 14c and 14g, the bill passing through the discriminating unit 13 is sent to the reject bill stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 16, and the reject bill storing unit 28
Accumulate inside. Then, at this timing, the values of the counters m5 to m7 are respectively added to the values of the counters m13 to m15, and the values of the counters m13 to m15 are updated and stored.

Further, the card and the passbook are returned to the customer, and a receipt on which the details of the transaction are printed is issued, thereby terminating the processing of the deposit transaction.

If the customer wants to stop the transaction at the time when the customer presses the confirmation key, the customer presses the cancel key.

In this case, the banknotes accumulated on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plates 42 to 44 are sequentially separated and fed out, and are accumulated on the front and back sorting mechanism 12 via the discrimination unit 13 by the traveling path 51.

Then, after all the bills are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the bills are sent to the customer service section 8 in a lump and returned to the customer.

Therefore, in this case, the values of the counters m8 to m15 are not updated.

<Withdrawal transaction> After the customer presses the withdrawal transaction key on the customer operation display section 5, inserts the card into the card slot, and enters a password, predetermined communication between the control section 7 and the center is established. When it is confirmed that there is no problem, the control unit 7 transmits a command for starting the dispensing process to the CCAD control unit 80.

Upon receiving the command to start the dispensing process, the CCAD control unit 80 switches the internal state to the dispensing mode, resets the counters m16 to m18 shown in FIG. 4, and instructs the denomination and the number of bills to be dispensed. wait.

Here, when the customer inputs, for example, 57,000 dollars, first, the end detectors 49c, 5c of the denomination cassettes 34, 35 are inputted.
It is checked whether 0c and the end detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 have not detected the end.

At this time, when both of the end detectors 49c and 50c or the end detector 48c has detected the end, the CCAD control unit 80 returns data to the control unit 7 with data indicating that withdrawal is not possible, and thereby the control is performed. The unit 7 displays on the display unit of the customer operation display unit 5 that transaction is not possible, and returns the card to the customer to stop the transaction.

Then, a notifying unit (not shown) prompts the attendant to replenish the missing bill. The replenishment of the bill will be described later.

If the above-mentioned end detection does not apply, a dispensing process is performed.

 Hereinafter, this dispensing processing operation will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the denomination banknote separation mechanism 46 or the denomination banknote separation mechanism 47 is operated to pay out m sheets of 10,000-yen coins from the denomination cassette 34 or 35, and the fed banknotes travel as shown by arrows in FIG. It is transported to the discrimination unit 13 by the road 51.

The discriminating unit 13 detects the denomination of the denomination, the front and back, and the damage by detecting the presence or absence of abnormal running. If the denomination is not abnormal as specified, the switching gate 14c is operated, and the driving path 51 is used. It is transported to the front and back sorting mechanism 12.

Then, the switching blade 14a is operated based on the front and back discrimination result of the discrimination unit 13, and the front and back are collected one by one and collected in the front and back collection mechanism 12, and the counter m16 is counted up for each accumulation.

On the other hand, the banknotes discriminated from the damaged banknotes in the discriminating unit 13 or the banknotes in which the abnormal traveling is detected are operated as the rejection banknotes by operating the switching blades 14c and 14g.
It is sent to the rejected banknote accumulating unit 30 of No. 6, and is accumulated in the rejected banknote storing unit 28, and the counter m18 is counted up.

In this way, five 10,000-yen tickets are stored
Until they are collected, the payout, discrimination and accumulation of the 10,000 yen ticket are repeated.

Ten thousand yen tickets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, and the counter m1
When the value of “6” becomes “5”, the money type cassettes 33 to 7
The dispensing, discrimination, and stacking in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are similarly performed, and the counter m17 is counted up for each stacking.

As a result, seven thousand yen tickets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, and when the value of the counter m17 becomes “7”, the customer service section 8
Is changed to the receiving position by a motor (not shown), and the bills collected and accumulated on the front and back sorting mechanism 12 and the receipt on which the transaction content is printed are fed between the bill guides 9 of the customer service section 8.

Thereafter, the customer service section 8 is changed to a deposit / withdrawal position by a motor (not shown), the shutter 11 is opened, a bill is paid to the customer together with the receipt, and the shutter 11 is closed.

At this timing, the values of the counters m16 to m18 are respectively added to the values of the counters m19 to m20, and the counter m1
The values of 9 to m20 are updated and stored.

Then, the card is returned to the customer, and the processing of the withdrawal transaction ends.

When the dispensing process is completed, the CCAD 2 adds the data of the dispensing type and the number thereof, that is, the count values of the counters m16 and m17 to the response to the end of the process, and returns it to the control unit 7, which then receives the data. Then, it is counted as the number of payments and stored in a predetermined storage unit (not shown).

If the customer forgets to take the bill, the separating mechanism 10
By re-separating the forgotten banknotes and sending them one by one to the travel path 51, the switching blades 14c, 14d, and 14g are operated and sent to the forgotten banknote stacking unit 29 of the reject cassette 16, and to the forgotten banknote storage unit 28. Collect.

<Bill replenishment> Each type of cassette 3 based on the contents of the counter in FIG.
When the calculation result of the number of stored sheets of 3, 34, 35 or the near-end detector 48b to 50b detects that any cassette has reached the near end, the CCAD control unit 80 automatically refills based on this detection. The mode is entered, and bill replenishment processing is performed using the interval between transactions.

In this case, when the banknote of the deficit is in the batch cassette 15a, the bill feeding unit 2
The bill is fed out by 2 and the corresponding bill cassette 33, 34, 35 corresponding to the bill in the same manner as the bill loading operation described in FIG.
Is replenished to either.

Therefore, the description of the replenishment processing operation itself is omitted here, and the denomination cassette 33, 34, or
The operation when 35 becomes full will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

First, in FIG. 7, when the full detectors 48c, 49c, and 50c of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 detect full, the bill feeding unit 22 separates and feeds out one by one, and The banknote whose seed has been confirmed and abnormal running has not been detected operates the switching blade 14e to collect the collected banknotes 21.
And is accumulated on the partition plate 19.

Further, the banknotes whose abnormal traveling has been detected by the discrimination unit 13 are operated by operating the switching blade 14f, sent to the loading and rejecting banknote accumulation unit 24, and are accumulated in the loading and rejection banknote storage unit 23.

Then, the banknote counting process is started, and the counters n4 to n6 are counted up.

When the number of bills accumulated on the partition plate 19 reaches a predetermined accumulation allowable value (for example, 100), the bill feeding unit 22 stops once, and then the clamp lever 20 is moved from the position A by a motor (not shown). After the banknotes are rotated to close to the position B and the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19 are clamped, the clamp lever 20 is raised from the position B to the position C by the motor to lift the bills.

At this time, the values of the counters n4 to n6 are added to the counters n15, n16, and n12, respectively, and the counters n4 to n6 are reset.

As a result, the bill can be fed again onto the partition plate 19, so that the bill feeding unit 22 is operated,
The banknotes on the re-stage 18 are fed out one by one, and the discrimination unit 13
The banknotes are stacked on the partition plate 19 until the stacking allowable value is reached, and the abnormally running banknotes are stored in the loading and replenishment storage unit 23, and the counters n4 to n6 are counted up.

Then, at the time when the stacking allowable value is reached, the bill feeding unit again
22 is stopped, and the clamp lever 20 at the position C is rotated by the motor so as to be opened by the motor to the position D, so that the bills clamped and lifted as described above Drop on top.

Subsequently, the clamp lever 20 at the position D is lowered by the motor and returned to the position A.
Is rotated from the position B to the position B to thereby close the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19 again, and then the clamp lever 20 is moved up again from the position B to the position C to lift the bills on the partition plate 19. Pick up banknotes.

Here, the values of the counters n4 to n6 are again changed to the counters n15 and n1.
6 and n12, respectively, and reset the counters n4 to n6.

Then, the bill feeding unit 22 is operated to feed the bill.

The above operation is repeated until the end detector 25a of the collective storage unit 17 detects the end of the bill.

When the end detector 25a detects the end of the bill, the bill feeding unit 22 is stopped, the clamp lever 20 clamps and lifts the bill to the position C, and the stage 18 is rotated from the position E to the position F by a motor (not shown). Then, the motor is lowered from the F position to the G position by a motor (not shown).

Next, the stage 18 is rotated from the G position to the H position by the motor.

Here, when the clamp lever 20 is rotated and opened from the position C to the position D by the motor, the bills lifted by the clamp lever 20 are placed on the stage 18.

Thereafter, the stage 18 is raised from the H position to the I position by the motor to lift the bill.

By the above operation, the banknotes fed from the collective storage section 17 can be stored again in the collective storage section 17 via the discrimination section 13.

In this way, the value obtained by finally adding the values of the counters n4 to n6 in FIG. 4 to the counters n15, n16, and n12, respectively, becomes This is the number of 1,000-yen tickets and the number of items stored in the loading / refilling reject unit 23.

By the way, after the transaction is performed, the withdrawal transaction tends to decrease the bill amount of each cassette 33, 34, 35 by denomination,
Eventually, the calculation result of the number of sheets accommodated in each denomination cassette 33, 34, 35 based on the contents of the counter in FIG. 4, or the near-end detectors 48b to 50b detect that any one of the cassettes has reached the near end.

The CCAD control unit 80 automatically enters the replenishment mode based on this detection, and performs the replenishment process using the interval between transactions.

At this time, the counters n1 to n3 shown in FIG. 4 are counted up.

Then, a process of adding the values of the counters n1 to n3 to the respective counters of the counters n13, n14, and n12 is executed at each break of the operation.

This automatic replenishment process is started by the near-end detection and is performed using the interval between transactions, so that it is performed intermittently.

Then, the value of the counters n, n10 to n19 is sent to the control unit 7 as data added to the response at each end timing of each automatic replenishment process.

Next, when the banknotes in the batch cassette 15a become empty by the replenishment operation, the banknotes are replenished from the batch cassette 15b.

The process of replenishing banknotes from the batch cassette 15b will be described.

In FIG. 1, it is confirmed that the end detector 39d of the batch cassette 15b has not detected the end, that is, that the bill to be replenished is set in advance.

If the end is detected, a response is returned with data indicating that the operation is not possible, and a response is returned. This process is stopped. However, when it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started.

First, the banknote pay-out unit 22 of the batch cassette 15b is operated, banknotes accumulated on the stage 18 of the batch storage unit 17 are fed out one by one from the top, and the banknotes fed out are collectively stored in the batch cassette 15a. It is sent to the feed-out travel path 57 disposed in the section 17 and further sent from the pay-out travel path 57 to the travel path 51 in the CCAD 2.

Thereafter, the operation of replenishing bills into the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 is performed in the same manner as the loading of bills. At this time, the counters n21 to n39 shown in FIG.

Further, when full of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 is detected by replenishment, the bills fed from the collective storage 17 are collected in the same manner as in the case of the collective cassette 15a.

<Bill collection> When a staff member opens the back door 1 of the automatic transaction device 1 and inputs a collection instruction with the operation keys of the internal operation unit 6 at the time of close inspection, the control unit 7 receives the input and collects the CCAD control unit 80. A command to start operation is transmitted.

Upon receiving the command to start the collection operation, the CCAD control unit 80 switches the internal state to the collection mode, and
It is confirmed that the end detection has not been performed for all of the banks 3, 34, 35, that is, that the banknotes to be collected are present in any of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35.

If all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 have been detected as end, the CCAD control unit 80 adds inoperable data to the response and returns it to the control unit 7, and this process is stopped. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the denomination cassettes, the counters n7 to n7 shown in FIG.
n9 is reset, and CCAD2 starts the collection operation.

Hereinafter, the bill collecting operation will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the denomination-specific banknote separation mechanism 47 is operated, and the ten thousand notes stored in the denomination cassette 35 are sequentially separated one by one from the upper side and fed out, and as shown by the arrow in FIG.
To the discriminating unit 13.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates the denomination of the conveyed banknotes, detects the presence or absence of abnormal running, and sends the banknotes backward.

Then, the banknotes whose abnormal traveling has been detected by the discriminating unit 13 are sent to the rejected banknote accumulating unit 30 by operating the switching blade 14g, are accumulated in the rejected banknote storing unit 28, and each time the counter n9 is counted up.

In addition, as a result of discrimination, a normal bill is
Activate e and send it to the collection banknote stacking unit 21, and
9 and sequentially count up the counter n7 each time.

This operation is repeated until there are no more banknotes set in the denomination cassette 35, but if the number of stacked banknotes on the partition plate 19 reaches an allowable value in the middle, the operation of the denomination banknote separation mechanism 47 is stopped. Then, the operation of FIG. 6 described at the time of the replenishment operation is performed.

At this timing, the values of the counters n7 and n9 are added to the values of the counters n17 and n19, respectively.
7, n9 is reset.

When the end detector 50a of the denomination cassette 35 detects the end, next, the ten thousand yen ticket is paid out from the denomination cassette 34,
According to the discrimination and detection results by the discrimination unit 13, they are sequentially accumulated on the rejected bill storage unit 28 or the partition plate 19 in the same manner as described above, and the counter n 7 or the counter n 9 is provided each time.
Count up.

The above operation is repeated until the end detector 49a of the denomination cassette 34 detects the end. If the number of stacked banknotes on the partition plate 19 reaches an allowable value in the middle, the denomination banknote is The operation of the separation mechanism 47 is stopped, and the operation of FIG. 6 described at the time of the replenishment operation is performed in the same manner as described above, and at the separation timing, the values of the counters n7 and n9 are added to the values of the counters n17 and n19, respectively. Further, the counters n7 and n9 are reset.

Then, when the end detector 49a of the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, subsequently, a 1,000 yen note is fed out from the denomination cassette 33, and the reject bill storage unit 28 or the partition plate 19
Accumulate sequentially on top.

This 1,000 yen coupon is paid out and the counter n
8, n9 is counted up according to the discrimination result for each 1,000 yen ticket, and the counters n8, n9 are counted up each time the operation is interrupted.
Is repeated.

When the full detector 25a detects the fullness of the banknotes in the collective storage unit 17 during the above-described collection operation, the collection operation is interrupted, and the CCAD control unit 80 sets the counter n, along with the data of the interruption.
The values of n10 to n19 are returned to the control unit 7 as count data.

The control unit 7 receives this and displays “Batch cassette full” on the display unit of the internal operation unit 6 to instruct collection of the banknotes stored in the batch cassette.

Thereby, the attendant removes the batch cassette 15a from the CCAD2, disconnects the batch cassette 15b from the batch cassette 15a, sets the batch cassette 15b to the CCAD2, and restarts the collection operation.

As described above, the collecting operation is performed until all of the denomination cassettes 35, 34, and 33 detect the end, and when the last bill arrives at the collective storage unit 17, the transport operation by the traveling path 51 is stopped, and the collecting operation is stopped. finish.

When the collection process is completed, the CCAD control unit 80 adds the counted number data collected for each denomination to the response of the collection completion, in particular, adds values of n, n20, n10 to n19, and n30 to n39 to the control unit 7.
In response to this, the control section 7 counts the number of collected sheets and stores it in a storage section (not shown).

When the banknote collection process of CCAD2 is completed, the attendant takes out the batch cassette 15b and the reject cassette 16 from CCAD2 and transports each of the cassettes 15a, 15b, and 16 to the original side where the close inspection is performed. The inspection data based on the contents of each counter and the bill amount of the batch cassettes 15a and 15b are output by the display unit of the internal operation unit 6 or the printing means such as the passbook entry machine 4, and stored in the reject cassette 16 with this data. Count the number of bills in the book and check that the scrutiny matches, or check the remaining bills.

Alternatively, the inspection data based on the contents of the counters in FIG. 4 and the bill amounts of the batch cassettes 15a and 15b may be transferred online via the control unit 7 to the original side.

Furthermore, by using the online line to the host computer or the centralized monitoring center, the contents of each counter in FIG. It is also possible to monitor the operation state of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 including the CCAD 2.

Incidentally, when the batch cassette 15a is removed from the CCAD 2 including the time when the batch cassette 15a becomes full during the collection process as described above, the batch cassette detection switch is turned off, and then the batch cassette 15b is set in the CCAD 2. Then, the batch cassette set detection switch is turned on, and as described in the bill replenishment process, the counters n20 to n
The CCAD control unit 80 stores the new contents in the RAM 84
Control.
