Description of the Related Art Generally, in a banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus used in a financial institution, when a depositing transaction is performed, bills inserted for depositing are separated one by one, and after discrimination of the bills, the apparatus is used. In order to confirm that there is no difference between the counted amount and the amount recognized when the customer inserts, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device displays the counted amount and requests the customer to confirm it. .

[0003] That is, a process is provided in which a transaction is concluded by an intention display such as pressing of a confirmation key by a customer. While making this determination, it has a temporary storage unit for temporarily storing the inserted banknotes, and distinguishes them from banknotes on the financial institution that have already been stored in the banknote depositing / dispensing device. By storing, troubles with customers are avoided in the event of a device failure.

FIG. 10 is a schematic side view showing the structure of a conventional banknote pay-in / pay-out device of this type, which is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-140890. In the figure, reference numeral 81 denotes a bill insertion port for a customer to insert or receive a bill, and 82 denotes one deposited bill inserted from the bill insertion port 81 collectively.
Deposited bill separating / feeding unit that separates and feeds one by one, 82a is a suction drum of deposited bills, which is one component of the deposited bill separating / feeding unit, and 83 is discrimination and output of denomination, authenticity, unfitness, and bad bill of deposited bills. A bill discriminating unit that performs denomination discrimination of gold bills, 84 is a genuine bill collective unit that temporarily collectively collects genuine bills of received bills and dispensed bills, and 85 temporarily collectively collects fake bills of received bills. This is a counterfeit lump collecting unit.

[0005] Reference numeral 86 denotes a 1,000 yen ticket safe for storing a 1,000 yen ticket, 86
a is a suction drum that separates and feeds the banknotes stored in the 1,000-yen vault 86 one by one; 87 is a ten-yen vault that stores ten-yen vouchers; A suction drum that separates and feeds the sheets one by one, 88 is a circulation reject ticket storage box that stores a rejected circulation banknote that cannot be reused for payment, and 89 is a denomination judgment and two-sheet detection at the time of payment. Dispensing reject ticket storage for storing dispensing reject banknotes determined to be defective at 90, 90 is a high-speed banknote transport path for transporting the separated banknotes at a high speed, and 90a is a banknote for feeding banknotes that are collectively stacked. It is a low-speed transport path.

Reference numeral 91 is below the bill insertion slot 81,
It is a storage for taking in the bills that the customer has left behind. According to the above configuration, the deposited banknotes batch-inserted into the bill insertion slot 81 by the customer are separated and fed one by one to the banknote discriminating unit 83 by the deposited banknote separating and feeding unit 82, and are authenticated.

[0007] The bills discriminated from the counterfeit bills pass through the banknote low-speed transport path 90a from the counterfeit note collective stacking section 85, and are returned to the customer through the bill insertion / receipt port 81. Banknotes that are distinguished from genuine notes are
From the genuine note batching section 84, through the counterfeit note batching section 85, the banknote low-speed conveyance path 90a, and the bill insertion port 81, the bills are separated and fed one by one again to the bill discriminating section 83 by the deposited banknote separating and feeding section 82. .

The bills separated and fed to the bill discriminating section 83 are discriminated for damages and denominations, and are sent to a 1,000-yen cash vault 86, a ten-yen vault 87, and a circulation reject voucher storage 88 for each denomination. It is stored. Also, at the time of withdrawal, after a customer presses a withdrawal transaction key (not shown), if a card is inserted, a password is input, and a required amount of money, for example, 50,000 yen, is input. The m bills are separated by the suction drum 87a, sent to the bill discriminating section 83 by the bill high-speed conveyance path 90, and accumulated in the genuine bill collective accumulating section 84.

The banknotes discriminated from the conveyance abnormality by the banknote discriminating section 83 are operated by a switching blade 92 by a magnet (not shown), stored in a reject safe 89, and separated again by a required number of sheets by a separation suction drum 87a. In the same manner, the 1,000 yen note is also separated and collected in the true note collective stacking unit 84. Next, the dispensed bills accumulated in the genuine note batch accumulating section 84 by the bill low-speed conveyance path 90a are sent to the bill insertion / receipt port 81 and discharged to the customer.

Here, when the customer forgets to take the bill in the bill receiving port 81, the bill receiving port 81 is rotated by a motor (not shown) to take in the forgotten bill and drop it in the storage 91.

[0011]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, in addition to the denomination storage for storing banknotes by denomination, a deposit reject ticket storage for depositing reject banknotes and a dispensing reject banknote are stored. Since the three types of storages, that is, the withdrawal rejection ticket storage to be accommodated and the take-in storage to take in the banknotes that the customer has forgotten, are arranged independently of each other. 3
There is a problem that the seed storage must be transported, and a large amount of labor is required for the transport operation, and the burden on the staff is large.

[0012] Further, the take-in storage is on the customer side in view of the bill insertion / receipt port. Therefore, when the customer requests the return of the forgotten bills stored in the take-in storage, the automatic cash transaction apparatus is operated. It is necessary to stop once, pull out the banknote depositing / dispensing device from the automatic teller machine, pull out the upper unit where the loading storage is located, and then pull out the forgotten banknote from the loading storage and return it to the customer. Because of this, the workability of extracting forgotten banknotes is poor and it takes time to extract forgotten banknotes, so it is not possible to respond promptly to customer's return request, and the operation stoppage time of the device is lengthened and operation efficiency is reduced. There was also a problem.

[0013] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to reduce the number of storages to be transported at the time of close inspection and the like, thereby reducing the burden on the attendant and improving the workability by facilitating the removal of bills left behind by customers. To realize a banknote pay-in / pay-out device capable of promptly responding to a customer's return request, preventing a decrease in the operation efficiency of the device, and effectively utilizing a space on the back of the device for storing bills. It is.

[0014]

FIG. 6 shows a deposit transaction, FIG. 7 shows a dispensing transaction, FIG. 8 shows a replenishing operation, and FIG. 9 shows a collecting operation. <Payment transaction> When the customer presses the payment transaction key and inserts the card into the card slot or passbook passbook, communication is performed between the device and the center, and it is confirmed that there is no problem. And the control part 7 transmits the command of a payment processing start to CCAD2.

When the CCAD 2 receives the deposit processing start command, it switches the internal state to the deposit mode, waits for the customer to set a bill, and when the CCAD 2 detects that the customer has set a bill in the customer service port 8, the CCAD 2 receives the command. Close the shutter 11,
The control unit 7 sends back a response message (hereinafter referred to as "response") to the status sense command periodically transmitted, adding information indicating that there is a deposit mouth banknote set.

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a deposit counting command, and instructs counting of bills set in the deposit and withdrawal port. Hereinafter, the processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the customer service port 8 is rotated by a motor (not shown) to be in the separation position shown in FIG.

Then, the bills are taken into the apparatus by the separating mechanism 10 one by one and sent to the discriminating section 13 by the transport path 51. The discriminating unit 13 discriminates the bills conveyed in the order of true / false and whether the bills are correct or not, detects the carrying state, and sends the bills backward. The bills discriminated by the discriminating section 13 from counterfeit bills or abnormal transported bills are conveyed to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 and stacked one by one.

The service port 8 is driven by a motor (not shown) in FIG.
(C) Receiving position, front and back sorting mechanism 1
The bills accumulated in 2 are sent to the customer service opening 8. Thereafter, the service port 8 is brought to the dispensing position shown in FIG. 4D by a motor (not shown), the service port shutter 11 is opened, and the bill is returned to the customer. The deposit bill discriminated from the genuine bill by the discriminating unit 13 is sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 by operating the switching blade 14c.

Here, the genuine 1,000-yen note is sent to the denomination-specific banknote stacking section 39 by operating the switching blade 14h, and is accumulated on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plate 42. The switching blade 14i is operated to send the money to the denomination-specific banknote stacking unit 40 and to stack it on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plate 43. Since the banknote discriminated from the damaged banknote or the 5,000 banknotes of non-circulation denominated banknotes cannot be reused for withdrawal, the switching blade 14j is actuated as a deposit reject banknote and sent to the banknote banknote stacking unit 41, and the banknote banknote by banknote is debited. The sheets are accumulated on the temporary holding plate 44.

By the above operation, when the deposit counting process of the bill set by the customer in the customer service opening 8 is completed, the CCAD2
Returns a response indicating that the counting of payments has been completed to the control unit 7, and adds the number counted for each denomination to the reusable bills and the non-reusable deposit reject bills as data. The control unit 7 receives this data, calculates the amount of the denomination and the total amount, displays it on a CRT (not shown), and counts this data as a deposit count.
Remember.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the CRT (not shown) and presses a confirmation button (not shown), the CCA
D2 is a banknote temporary holding plate 4 for each denomination of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53.
2 and 43 are retracted in the direction of arrow J, and the deposited banknotes that have been accumulated are stored in denomination cassettes 33 and 34, respectively. Next, the denomination-specific banknote separation mechanism 47 is driven to separate the rejected banknotes accumulated on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plate 44 one by one and sent to the discriminating unit 13.
By operating c and 14g, it is sent to the reject banknote stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 7, and is stacked in the reject banknote storage unit 28.

With the above, the processing of the deposit transaction is completed. <Payout transaction> After the customer presses the withdrawal transaction key, the card is inserted into the card insertion slot, and the personal identification number is entered. The control unit 7 transmits a command for starting a dispensing process to the CCAD 2.

When the CCAD 2 receives the command for starting the dispensing process, it switches the internal state to the dispensing mode and waits for the instruction of the denomination and the number of the bills to be discharged. For example, 50,000 n
When the amount of one thousand is input, first, the money type cassette 3
End detector 49 of 4,35 a, 50 a gold-end detector 48 a of the type cassette 33 determines whether or not detected end.

If the end is detected in either one, a response is returned with the information indicating that the payment is impossible.
If the end detection is not performed, and if the instruction of the withdrawal counting is m-million-yen ticket and n-thousand-yen ticket, the denomination-specific banknote separating mechanism 46 or the denomination-specific banknote separating mechanism 47 is operated to set the denomination cassette 34 or From m 35, pay out m yen tickets.

The fed bill is sent to the discriminating section 13 through the transport path 51 as shown by the arrow in FIG. The discrimination unit 13 discriminates the denomination as to whether the banknote is as specified, and discriminates the front and back sides and whether the banknotes are normal or not, and if it is as specified, activates the switching gate 14c and sends it to the front and back sorting mechanism 12, and the discrimination unit 13 The switching blade 14a is actuated according to the front / back discrimination result, and the front and back sides are sorted one by one, and are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12.

The bill discriminated by the discriminating section 13 from the abnormal transport ticket is used as a withdrawal reject ticket by the switching blade 14.
c and 14g are operated and sent to the reject bill stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 7, and the reject bill storage unit 28
To accumulate. Until the required number of sheets is accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the dispensing, discrimination and accumulation of the ten thousand yen ticket are repeated.

When the dispensing of the ten thousand-yen ticket is completed, the dispensing of n thousand-yen tickets from the denomination cassette 33 is similarly performed. When the designated number of sheets has been accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the customer service port 8 is set to the receiving position by a motor (not shown), and the bills collected in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are sent to the customer service port 8.

The service port 8 is set to the dispensing position by a motor (not shown), the service port shutter 11 is opened, a banknote is passed to the customer, and the service port shutter 11 is closed. When the dispensing of the designated number of sheets from the control unit 7 is completed, a response of completion is returned, and the released denomination and its number are added as the data.
The control unit 7 receives this, counts it as the number of payouts, and stores it.

The processing of the withdrawal transaction is completed as described above. If the customer forgets to take the banknote in the customer service opening 8, the separating mechanism 10 re-separates the banknote that has been left behind and places one banknote in the transport path 51. Feeding and switching blades 14c, 14d, 1
4g is operated to feed the reject cassette 7 into the forgotten banknote stacking unit 29 and to be stacked in the forgotten banknote storage unit 27. <Replenishment> When the staff member presses the replenishment key of the internal operation unit 6,
Upon receiving this input, the control unit 7 transmits a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the replenishment operation.

When the CCAD 2 receives the command to start the replenishment operation, the internal state is switched to the replenishment mode, and the end detector 25a of the banknote collective storage unit 17 has not detected the end, that is, the bill to be replenished is set in advance. Make sure that If the end is detected, a response is returned with information indicating that the operation is disabled, and this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started. Hereinafter, the operation of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG. By operating the replenishment bill separation mechanism 22, the bills set on the stage 18 are fed out one by one from the upper side, conveyed as indicated by arrows in FIG.

The discriminating section 13 discriminates the fed banknotes in order of denomination, authenticity, and correctness, detects the running state, and sends the bills backward. In the case of a banknote that can be loaded for withdrawal as a genuine 1,000-yen banknote, the switching blade 14h is operated to feed the banknote into the banknote stacking unit 39, and is stacked directly on the stage 36 of the cassette 33 by banknote.

In the case of a banknote which can be loaded for withdrawal as a genuine ten thousand yen banknote, the switching blade 14i or 14j is actuated and sent to the denomination banknote stacking unit 40 or 41.
Stage 37 or 3 of the denomination cassette 34 or 35
8 directly. This operation is repeated until the bills set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects them.
38 is the hold allowable value (for example, 1
(00 sheets), the operation of the replenishment banknote separation mechanism 22 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette that has reached the hold allowance is lowered by a motor (not shown) by an amount corresponding to the hold allowance.

When the stage has been lowered, the replenishment operation is repeated by reactivating the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22. When the banknotes on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment banknote separation mechanism 22 stops, and when the last banknote arrives at the stage of the denomination cassette, the transport path 5
The transport operation by 1 is also stopped.

Finally, the stages 36, 37 and 38 of the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and 35 are simultaneously lowered, and the stage 3
Banknotes accumulated on 6, 37, 38 are denominated cassette 3
3, 34, and 35, respectively, and the replenishment operation ends. Note that the bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 as being unable to withdraw is replaced with a rejected bill by the switching blade 1.
4e and 14f are operated to replenish the rejected banknote stacking unit 2
4 and is stored in the reject reject banknote storage unit 23.

During the replenishment operation, the denomination cassettes 34,
When the full detectors 49c and 50c of 35 or the full detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 detect full, the switching blade 14e is operated to collect the collected banknotes 21.
And is accumulated on the partition plate 19. Then, when the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and the transport operation by the transport path 51 is also stopped.

The CCAD 2 returns a replenishment completion response to the control unit 7, and adds the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination as its data. Thus, the processing of the replenishment operation is completed.
Here, the operation in the case where the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 are full will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in FIG.
When the full detectors 48c, 49c, and 50c of 34, 35 detect full, the switching blade 14e is operated to send the bills separated one by one by the replenishment bill separation mechanism 22 to the collection bill stacking unit 21, and the partition plate. 19 on top.
At this time, the discriminating unit 13 counts the banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 19, and stops the replenishment banknote separation mechanism 22 once when the number reaches the accumulation allowable value (for example, 100).

Next, the clamp lever 20 is rotated from a position A to a position B by a motor (not shown) to clamp the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19. Next, the bill is lifted by moving the clamp lever 20 from the position B to the position C by a motor (not shown).

As a result, bills can be fed onto the partition plate 19 again. Then, the stopped replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is driven again, and the stacking is continued on the partition plate 19 again to the stacking allowable value. When the accumulation allowable value is reached, the replenishment bill separation mechanism 22 is stopped, and the clamp lever at the C position is rotated by a motor (not shown) to the D position, so that the bill clamped and lifted first is partitioned next. It is dropped on the banknotes accumulated on the plate 19.

Subsequently, the clamp lever 20 located at the position D is returned to the position A by a motor (not shown), and further rotated from the position A to the position B to clamp the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19. . Next, the clamp lever 20 is driven by a motor (not shown).
Is moved from the position B to the position C again to lift the bill.

Then, the stopped replenishment bill separating mechanism 2
2 is driven again. The above operation is repeated until the end detector 25a of the banknote collective storage unit 17 detects the end.
When the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, the clamp lever 20 clamps and lifts the bill to the position C by a motor (not shown), and the stage 18 moves from the position E to the position F by a motor (not shown). The motor rotates to the position, and then descends from the position F to the position G by a motor (not shown).

Next, the motor is rotated from the G position to the H position by a motor (not shown). here,
The clamp lever 20 is rotated from a position C to a position D by a motor (not shown), and the banknotes lifted up after being clamped are placed on the stage 18.

The stage 18 lifts the bill from the H position to the I position (home position) by a motor (not shown). By the above operation, the banknotes in the banknote collective storage unit 17 can pass through the discrimination unit 13 and be stored in the banknote collective storage unit 17 again. As described above, since the clamp lever 20 and the stage 18 are provided with detectors (not shown) corresponding to the respective positions, the operation control of the clamp lever 20 and the stage 18 is performed based on the detection results. Will be <Loading> Prior to the start of the work, the banker mounts the batch cassette 15 in which the banknotes are collectively set on the stage 18 of the banknote batch storage unit 17 in the original direction into the CCAD 2 and presses the loading key of the internal operation unit 6 to control. The unit 7 receives this input and
A command to start the loading operation is transmitted to CAD2.

Upon receiving the loading operation start command, the CCAD 2 switches the internal state in the same manner as in the replenishment mode.
A loading operation similar to the refilling operation is performed. <Recovery> When the operator presses the recovery key with the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and
A command to start the collection operation is transmitted to D2.

When the CCAD 2 receives the command to start the collection operation, the internal state is switched to the collection mode and all the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 have not detected the end, that is, the bill to be collected is the denomination cassette. 3
Confirm that it exists in any of 3, 34, 35.
When all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 have detected the end, a response is returned with information indicating that operation is not possible, and this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the denomination cassettes, the collecting operation is started. Hereinafter, the operation of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the denomination banknote separation mechanism 47 is operated to feed out the banknotes stored in the denomination cassette 35 one by one in order from the upper side and send them to the discrimination unit 13 via the transport path 51 as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 9. .

The discriminating section 13 discriminates the sent banknotes in the order of denomination and authenticity, detects the running state, and sends the bills backward. The banknote for which double running or skew has been detected by the discrimination unit 13 is sent to the reject banknote stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 16 by operating the switching blade 14g as a collected reject banknote, and stored in the reject banknote storage unit 28.

The bills discriminated as normal are collected by the collected bill stacking unit 2.
1 and are sequentially accumulated on the partition plate 19. This operation is repeated until there are no more banknotes set in the denomination cassette 35. However, when the number of stacked partition plates 19 reaches the allowable stacking value (for example, 100), the operation of the denomination banknote separation mechanism 47 is performed. And the operation of FIG. 5 described at the time of the replenishment operation is performed.

The end detector 50a of the cassette 35 by type of money
Next, when the end is detected, the stored bill is fed out from the denomination cassette 34. If the discrimination unit 13 detects a conveyance error such as heavy running or skew, the switching blade 14
g is operated and stored in the reject banknote storage unit 28 of the reject cassette 16 in the same manner as described above.

The bills discriminated as normal are collected by the collected bill accumulation unit 2.
1 and are sequentially accumulated on the partition plate 19. When the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, next, the stored bills are fed from the denomination cassette 33. Thus, the bills in the cassettes 35, 34, and 33 of the respective denomination cassettes 35, 34, and 33 are arranged in the order of ten thousand yen, another ten thousand yen, and one thousand yen in this order.
Collect while counting on top.

During the above-mentioned collecting operation, the discriminating section 13 always counts the bills fed to the banknote collective storing section 17, and when it reaches the allowable storage amount, the collecting operation is interrupted and the information is returned to the control section 7. The control unit 7 displays "Batch cassette full" on a display unit (not shown), and instructs collection of the bills stored in the batch cassette. Here, the allowable storage amount of the collected banknotes in the banknote collective storage unit 17 varies depending on the amount of stacked banknotes on the stage 18.

Therefore, prior to the bill collection process, the height of the stage 18 is detected by a detecting means (not shown), whereby the amount of the deposited bills on the stage 18 is obtained by the calculating means of the control unit 7, and the bills are collectively stored. This is subtracted from the storage amount of the unit 17 to obtain the storage allowable amount of the collected bills. When the banknote collective storage unit 17 becomes full, the clerk enters CC
The door 52 on the rear surface of the AD 2 is opened, the batch cassette 15 is pulled out, and the batch cassette door is opened using the inspection key, and all the bills in the bill batch storage section 17 are taken out.

When the collective cassette door is closed, the collective cassette 15 is set by the reverse operation, and the door 52 is closed, the collecting operation is performed again. 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 banknote arrives at the banknote collective storage unit 17, the conveying operation by the conveying path 51 is stopped, and the collecting operation is stopped. finish. The CCAD 2 that has completed the above process returns a response indicating that the collection has been completed, and adds the counted number of sheets collected for each denomination as its data.

In response to this, the control section 7 counts and stores the number as the number of collected sheets. Thus, the processing of the collecting operation is completed. Each process described above is performed in the following procedure in actual operation. Prior to the start of work, the banknotes set in the banknote collective storage unit 17 of the batch cassette 15 are loaded so as to be loaded into each denomination cassette.

After entering the business, a deposit transaction, a withdrawal transaction, etc. are performed at any time, and when the denomination cassette becomes near-end or end, the batch cassette 15 is transferred to the CCAD2.
Then, the short bills are set in the collective cassette 15, the collective cassette 15 is set in the CCAD2, and the refilling process enables the continuation of the dispensing transaction. Even if the batch cassette 15 is taken out from the CCAD 2, deposit / withdrawal transactions are possible, and there is no need to stop the operation.

When the full detectors 31, 32 of the forgotten banknote storage section 27 and the reject banknote storage section 28 of the reject cassette 16 detect the full state, the reject cassette 16 is arranged on the front side in the pulling-out direction of the CCAD2. Therefore, the CCAD 2 can be easily exchanged for an empty reject cassette 16 between depositing / dispensing transactions without withdrawing the CCAD 2 from the automatic teller machine 1.

As described above, if the reject cassette 7 is exchanged between deposit / withdrawal transactions, the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1
There is no need to stop the operation of.

[0079]

As described above, the present invention relates to a banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus having a depositing transaction function, a circulation function, a dispensing transaction function, and a collecting function.
The first site and recovered banknotes for stacking replenishment banknote
A banknote collective storage unit having a second portion to be accumulated, and, among the banknotes fed from the banknote collective storage unit at the time of banknote loading and replenishment, a loaded and rejected banknote that the discriminating means has determined to be unusable for dispensing. The refill reject banknote storage section to be stored is arranged vertically and integrally formed,
A collective storage in which feeding and collection of banknotes in the banknote collective storage unit and storage of replenishment rejection banknotes in the banknote storage unit are performed from the front of each storage unit; Among the banknotes that have been identified as possible, a rejected banknote that has been identified as being unreusable, a withdrawal rejected banknote that has been identified as unusable by the identifying means during the withdrawal transaction, and a transport error during the collection. A rejected banknote storage unit that stores the collected rejected banknotes that have detected the above, and a left behind banknote storage unit that stores the left banknotes of the customer sent from the customer service port are vertically arranged and integrally formed, The storage of rejected banknotes in the rejected banknote storage unit and the storage of forgotten banknotes in the forgotten banknote storage unit are performed from the front of each storage unit. A Unishi was rejected bill storage, and is set to the bulk storage case configured such that each disposed removably individually the rejected bill storage to the apparatus rear surface side.

Therefore, according to this, all the bills for loading and replenishing bills and the collected bills can be stored in the bill collective storage section of the lump storage, and the rejected bills for loading and replenishing can be stored. The rejected banknotes are stored in the rejected banknote storage section of the batch storage, and the rejected banknotes at the time of deposit, withdrawal transaction and collection and the customer's left banknotes are respectively stored in the reject banknote storage section and the left banknote storage section of the reject banknote storage box. Because it is stored, it is only necessary to transport only two storages, a collective storage and a rejected banknote storage, at the time of close inspection, etc., which makes the transportation work easier and reduces the burden on the staff. The effect is obtained.

In addition to the collective storage, a reject banknote storage having a forgotten banknote storage unit is independently and detachably disposed on the rear surface of the apparatus, and the reject banknote storage can be formed in a small size. If the customer requests the return of the forgotten banknotes stored in the forgotten banknote storage,
Separately remove this small reject banknote storage alone, apart from the large batch storage with large banknote storage capacity,
It is possible to take out the banknotes that the customer has left behind from the banknote storage unit that has been left behind, and therefore the workability of extracting the banknotes that are left behind is very good. Can be promptly responded to a customer's return request.

Further, since the reject banknote storage can be detached separately from the lump storage, if a customer requests the return of a banknote that has been forgotten, if the replenishment is required at the time of replenishment of the banknote, the rejection at this time is performed. Since the banknotes are stored in the rejected banknotes in the batch storage, that is, the rejected banknote storage is not used at all when replenishing the banknotes, so it is possible to respond to the customer's return request without stopping the operation of the device and replenish the banknotes. As described above, even at times other than the time, it is possible to promptly respond to the customer's return request, so even if the operation of the device is temporarily stopped during the operation of extracting the forgotten bills, the operation stoppage time is shortened and the operation efficiency of the device is reduced. The effect is obtained that the reduction can be minimized.

Further, the banknote collective storage section and the reject reject banknote storage section of the collective storage are arranged in the vertical direction.
The rejected banknote storage section and the forgotten banknote storage section of the rejected banknote storage box are also arranged vertically, and bills are fed out and stored from the front of each of these storage sections. The reject banknote storage can be used effectively in the vertical direction, and both storages can be miniaturized.By arranging both storages side by side on the back of the device, the space on the back of the device can be used for storing bills. The effect of being able to utilize effectively is obtained.

Further, on the rear side of the apparatus, the collective storage is raised,
By placing the reject banknote storage below, the reject banknote storage with a small number of attachments and detachments is bent in and out, but the batch storage with a large number of attachments and removals is attached and detached in a comfortable posture while the staff is standing. Therefore, the operability of the exchange operation of the collective storage for replenishing banknotes is good, and the effect that the exchange operation can be performed easily can be obtained.
