Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、金融機関で用いられる現金処理装置に関するもので、特に紙幣入出金機及び紙幣補充回収機等を備えた現金処理装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
銀行等の金融機関の営業店には、オペレータが顧客と接客して取引業務を行う窓口の後方等に処理能力の大きい現金処理装置が設置されている。
この現金処理装置は紙幣入出金機、紙幣補充回収機、施封小束支払機等を横方向に連結して配置した構造を持ち、オペレータ等の操作により各種の現金処理を行うものとなっている。
【０００３】
例えば、紙幣入出金機は、投入された紙幣の真偽，金種，正損等の鑑別を行って入金可能な紙幣を金種別に紙幣収納庫に収納する入金機能、及び紙幣収納庫から繰り出した紙幣の金種，正損等の鑑別を行って、出金可能な紙幣を支払う出金機能を有し、また、紙幣補充回収機は、営業店の自動化コーナーに設置される自動取引装置（ＡＴＭ）に対して紙幣の補充、回収を行うために使用される一括収納庫への紙幣の装填、自動取引装置から取り外した一括収納庫内に収納されている紙幣の自動計数等を行う機能を有している。
【０００４】
また、施封小束支払機は紙幣を一定枚数毎に紙による帯で施封して小束にし、その紙幣の小束を払出し口から放出したり、小束を収納庫に収納して、オペレータの要求により収納庫から紙幣の小束を繰り出して払出し口から放出する機能を有している。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら上述した従来の技術では、以下の問題がある。
すなわち、従来の現金処理装置における紙幣入出金機では、真券ではあるが、損傷や汚れの度合いが大きかったり、透明接着テープ等による補修が行われている紙幣は損券として扱い、入金取引時に鑑別部により損券と鑑別された紙幣は入金紙幣として受入れるが、出金には利用しないようにしている。
【０００６】
そのため、紙幣入出金機には、出金用の紙幣を収納する紙幣収納庫に加えて損券を収納する損券収納庫を設け、この損券収納庫に入金取引時の損券を収納するようにしているが、このように損券収納庫を設けることで紙幣入出金機が大型化するという問題がある。
また、新金種紙幣の発行に伴って紙幣入出金機での取扱い金種を増やしたい場合や、特定金種の紙幣（例えば、万円紙幣）の収納量を増加したい場合、それに伴って紙幣収納庫の数を増加させなければならないため、紙幣入出金機のより大型化を招くという問題もある。
【０００７】
更に、紙幣入出金機では、損券金庫が満杯になると、以後の入金取引及び出金取引が不可能になるので、入金取引及び出金取引を可能な状態に復旧させるには損券金庫内の損券を取り出したりあるいは空の損券金庫と交換する必要が生じるが、損券金庫は出金用の紙幣を収納する紙幣収納庫とともに１ユニットとして同列に並べて配置されているので、ユニットごと紙幣入出金機の筐体から引き出して損券金庫内の損券の取り出しや損券金庫の交換を行わなければならず、作業が大がかりになって時間もかかるという問題がある。
【０００８】
本発明はこれらの問題を解決することを課題としている。
【０００９】
そのため、本発明は、投入された紙幣の真偽，金種，正損等の鑑別を行って入金可能な紙幣を金種別に紙幣収納庫に収納する入金機能、及び紙幣収納庫から繰り出した紙幣の金種，正損等の鑑別を行って、出金可能な紙幣を支払う出金機能を有する紙幣入出金機と、複数の金種の紙幣を収納可能でかつ交換可能な一括収納庫上に位置するように設けられた繰り出し集積部により、該一括収納庫から紙幣を繰り出して自動計数する機能、及び前記繰り出し集積部により補充用の紙幣を集積して前記一括収納庫に収納する機能を有する紙幣補充回収機と、一定枚数集積した紙幣を施封用の帯により束ねて小束を作成する機能を有する施封小束支払機とを備えた現金処理装置において、これら紙幣入出金機、紙幣補充回収機、施封小束支払機を任意の配列で横方向に隣接して配置すると共に、各機間で互いに紙幣の搬送を可能にする紙幣搬送手段を各機に備え、前記紙幣搬送手段は紙幣搬送方向を軸としてその軸回り方向に９０度回転させる回転搬送路と紙幣を各機の隣接方向である横方向に搬送する接続用搬送路から成る構成とし、前記紙幣入出金機での入金取引時、出金取引時、及び紙幣入出金機から施封小束支払機への紙幣の搬送時に、前記紙幣入出金機で損券と鑑別された紙幣を前記紙幣搬送手段により前記紙幣補充回収機に搬送し、該紙幣補充回収機に損券紙幣収納用として装着されている一括収納庫に前記繰り出し集積部を介して収納することを特徴とする。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を参照して本発明による現金処理装置の実施の形態について説明する。
図１は実施の形態を示す要部概略斜視図である。
図において１は紙幣入出金機、２は紙幣補充回収機である。
【００１１】
紙幣入出金機１は投入された紙幣の真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別及び真券紙幣の計数等を行う第１の鑑別部２３、出金用の紙幣を金種別に収納する紙幣収納庫２６、各紙幣収納庫２６から繰り出された紙幣の真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別及び真券紙幣の計数等を行う第２の鑑別部２９を備えており、投入された紙幣の真偽，金種，正損等の鑑別を行って入金可能な紙幣を金種別に紙幣収納庫に収納する入金機能、及び紙幣収納庫から繰り出した紙幣の金種，正損等の鑑別を行って出金可能な紙幣を支払う出金機能を有している。
【００１２】
また、紙幣補充回収機２は、一括収納庫４１、繰り出し集積部４２、及び一括収納庫４１から繰り出された紙幣の真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別及び真券紙幣の計数等を行う鑑別部４３を備えており、一括収納庫４１から紙幣を繰り出して自動計数する機能、及び補充用の紙幣を一括収納庫４１に収納する機能を有している。
【００１３】
紙幣入出金機１と紙幣補充回収機２は回転搬送路１５と接続用搬送路１６からなる紙幣搬送手段を備えており、この回転搬送路１５と接続用搬送路１６によって紙幣入出金機１と紙幣補充回収機２との間で紙幣Ｐを１枚ずつ搬送して互いに授受できるようになっている。
この紙幣入出金機１と紙幣補充回収機２については後で詳細に説明する。
【００１４】
図２は実施の形態の構成を示すブロック図、図３は実施の形態の外観を示す斜視図である。
この図２及び図３に示したように、本発明による現金処理装置は、紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、施封小束支払機３、新券紙幣支払機４、棒金支払機５、硬貨入出金機６等の各現金処理機と、操作卓７、及び制御機８によって構成されている。
【００１５】
ここで、紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、施封小束支払機３、棒金支払機５、硬貨入出金機６、及び制御機８はそれぞれ独立した筐体として横一列に配列され、そして新券紙幣支払機４は紙幣補充回収機２上に、また操作卓７は紙幣入出金機１や施封小束支払機３上にそれぞれ配置されている。
本実施の形態において、紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、及び施封小束支払機３は紙幣の搬送路を連結させるために互いに隣接して配置する必要があり、この紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、及び施封小束支払機３は独立した筐体であるので、どのような順に並べるかは任意であるが、ここでは紙幣入出金機１と紙幣補充回収機２は隣り合うように並んでいるものとする。
【００１６】
施封小束支払機３は紙幣入出金機１や紙幣補充回収機２と同様の回転搬送路１５と接続用搬送路１６を備えており、紙幣入出金機１や紙幣補充回収機２から送られてくる紙幣を金種毎に集積して、一定枚数の紙幣の小束を作成し、所定の収納庫に収納したり、払出したりする機能を有している。
また、棒金支払機５や硬貨入出金機６、新券紙幣支払機４、操作卓７、及び制御機８は図示した配置に拘束されず、自由な配置が可能である。
【００１７】
新券紙幣支払機４は新券の金種判別を行って支払いを行うもので、棒金支払機５は棒状に纏めた一定枚数の硬貨を支払うものである。また、硬貨入出金機６は硬貨の鑑別、計数を行って入出金を行う機能を有している。
操作卓７は、ＬＣＤ（液晶表示装置）等による表示部とキー入力部を備えており、オペレータが現金処理装置で現金の処理を行う際、表示部で操作誘導を行ったり、キー入力部で入力された情報を表示するもので、キー入力部は表示部と独立させてキーボードや、表示部上に設けられるタッチパネルが用られる。
【００１８】
制御機８は現金処理装置全体の制御を行うもので、制御部９、プログラムメモリ１０、及び現金データメモリ１１を備えており、制御部９は、プログラムメモリ１０に格納された制御プログラム（ソフトウエア）に基づいて前記各現金処理機１〜６の動作を制御すると共に、現金処理機１〜６から計数データ等を受信して現金データメモリ１１の内容を更新するものとなっている。
【００１９】
この現金データメモリ１１は、各現金処理機１〜６の収納庫等に収納されている各金種の現金内訳を示す在高データや紙幣補充回収機２の一括収納庫４１に収納した紙幣の内訳を示す計数データ等を記憶する記憶部として用いられるものである。
尚、本実施の形態の現金処理装置には、図示しないプリンタも設けられ、このプリンタは制御部９の指示により当該装置で処理した内容等を必要に応じて用紙に印字し、出力するものとなっている。
【００２０】
図４は紙幣入出金機１の内部構成を示す側面図である。
図において２１は紙幣投入口、２２は紙幣投入口２１に投入された紙幣を１枚ずつ分離して取り込む取り込み手段で、取り込みローラや分離ローラ等の複数のローラにより構成されている。
２３は取り込まれた紙幣の真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別及び真券紙幣の計数等を行う第１の鑑別部、２４はこの第１の鑑別部２３で偽券（金種不明券）等と鑑別されたリジェクト紙幣を集積する返却口、２５は第１の鑑別部２３で真券と鑑別された紙幣の表裏を取り揃える表裏反転部である。
【００２１】
２６は出金用の紙幣の金種別に収納する紙幣収納庫で、ここでは４個設けた例を示している。
この４個の紙幣収納庫２６に収納する紙幣の金種は運用方法により任意に定められる。例えば、万円紙幣、千円紙幣、五千円紙幣、二千円紙幣の４金種の紙幣を金種別に収納して運用してもよく、また２個の紙幣収納庫２６に万円紙幣を、残り２個の紙幣収納庫２６に千円紙幣と二千円紙幣をそれぞれ収納して運用することも可能である。
【００２２】
２７は各紙幣収納庫２６に対応するようにその各々の上部に配置された一時保留部で、一定枚数（例えば１００枚）の紙幣を集積できる容量を持ち、集積した一時保留紙幣を紙幣収納庫２６内に落下させることができると共に、一時保留紙幣を１枚づつ繰り出す機能も有している。
２８は各紙幣収納庫２６の下部から紙幣を繰り出すように設けられた繰り出し手段で、繰り出しローラや分離ローラ等の複数のローラにより構成されている。
【００２３】
２９は紙幣収納庫２６から繰り出された紙幣の真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別及び真券紙幣の計数等を行う第２の鑑別部、３０はこの第２の鑑別部２９で偽券（金種不明券）等と鑑別されたリジェクト紙幣を収納するリジェクト紙幣収納庫である。
３１は第２の鑑別部２９で真券でかつ正券と鑑別された紙幣を集積する出金口で、開閉可能なシャッタ機構を備えている。
【００２４】
３２ａ〜３２ｊは前記各構成要素間を結んで紙幣を搬送する搬送路で、搬送路３２ｊが回転搬送路１５に接続している。
図５は紙幣補充回収機２の内部構成を示す側面図である。
図において４１は一括収納庫で、紙幣補充回収機２の筐体の前面側から該筐体に対して着脱可能つまり交換可能になっている。
【００２５】
この一括収納庫４１は現在流通している全金種の紙幣を一括して収納できる紙幣収納部４１ａを有し、収納紙幣は図示しない上下動可能なステージ上に堆積させるものとなっている。
また、紙幣収納部４１ａの下部は回収部４１ｂとなっていて、紙幣収納部４１ａの紙幣を繰り出して自動計数する際や、紙幣入出金機１から紙幣を回数する際等に、それらの紙幣をこの回収部４１ｂに回収できるものとなっており、この回収部４１ｂに回収された紙幣は図示しない積み替え手段により紙幣収納部４１ａの前記ステージ上に移せるようになっている。
【００２６】
更に、回収部４１ｂの下方には、該回収部４１ｂと仕切られたリジェクト紙幣収納部４１ｃが設けられており、前記自動計数等の際のリジェクト紙幣を収納するものとなっている。
４２は一括収納庫４１上に位置するように設けられた繰り出し集積部で、一定枚数（例えば１００枚）の紙幣を集積できる容量を持ち、集積した紙幣を一括収納庫４１内に落下させることができると共に、集積した紙幣あるいは一括収納庫４１内の収納紙幣を１枚づつ繰り出す機能も有している。
【００２７】
４３は一括収納庫４１から繰り出された紙幣の真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別及び真券紙幣の計数等を行う鑑別部、４４はこの鑑別部４３で真券と鑑別された紙幣の表裏を取り揃える表裏反転部である。
４５ａ〜４５ｅは前記各構成要素間を結んで紙幣を搬送する搬送路で、搬送路４５ｅが回転搬送路１５に接続している。
【００２８】
ここで、回転搬送路１５について説明する。
図６は回転搬送路１５を説明する図で、ここでは紙幣入出金機１の回転搬送路１５を例にする。
この図に示したように紙幣Ｐを挟持する２組の平行な無端ベルト及び該ベルトを支持するローラ等により構成される接続用搬送路１６と、同様のベルト及びローラ等により構成される搬送路３２ｊが、紙幣Ｐの搬送方向が同じで２組のベルトの位置が互いに９０度ずれるように配置され、その中間に回転搬送路１５が配置されている。
【００２９】
この回転搬送路１５は、ローラによって支持された一対の無端ベルトから成り紙幣Ｐの搬送方向を軸として、その軸回り方向に９０度紙幣を回転させるように前記一対の無端ベルトを中央部で９０度捻ったものとなっている。
図７は回転搬送路１５及び接続用搬送路１６からなる紙幣搬送手段による現金処理機間の接続状態を示す正面図で、この図及び図１に示したように回転搬送路１５及び接続用搬送路１６により紙幣入出金機１と紙幣補充回収機２と施封小束支払機３が接続され、紙幣入出金機１と紙幣補充回収機２と施封小束支払機３の間でその配列方向に紙幣Ｐを１枚ずつ搬送して授受できるようになっている。
【００３０】
一般に、紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、施封小束支払機３は、前後方向に紙幣Ｐを搬送するようになっており、この前後方向においては紙幣Ｐの搬送方向を垂直方向や水平方向に９０度変更したり、反転させることは比較的容易にできるが、紙幣を横方向つまり紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、施封小束支払機３の配列方向に変更するには工夫が必要である。
【００３１】
本実施の形態では、前記のような回転搬送路１５を設けることで紙幣の横方向への搬送可能にし、紙幣入出金機１、紙幣補充回収機２、施封小束支払機３の相互間で１枚づつ紙幣Ｐの搬送を行えるようにしている。
次に、上述した構成の作用について説明する。
まず、入金取引について説明する。
【００３２】
オペレータが紙幣入出金機１の操作卓７を操作して入金取引を指定し、紙幣投入口２１に紙幣Ｐを一括投入すると、その紙幣Ｐは取り込み手段２２により１枚ずつ分離して取り込まれ、搬送路３２ａにより第１の鑑別部２３に搬送されて真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別が行われる。
その結果、偽券（金種不明券）等と鑑別されたリジェクト紙幣は搬送路３２ｂにより返却口２４に搬送されて集積され、オペレータに返却される。
【００３３】
この返却された紙幣はオペレータにより再度紙幣投入口２１に投入することが可能である。
第１の鑑別部２３で真券でかつ出金に利用できる正券と鑑別された紙幣は、この第１の鑑別部２３で金種別に計数されかつ表裏判定が行われてから搬送路３２ｃにより表裏反転部２５に送られて表裏が取り揃えられた後、搬送路３２ｄにより搬送され、複数の紙幣収納庫２６上の一時保留部２７に金種別に振り分けて集積される。
【００３４】
また、第１の鑑別部２３で真券ではあるが出金に利用できない損券と鑑別された紙幣は、金種別に計数されてから搬送路３２ｃにより表裏反転部２５に送られるが、表裏は取り揃えられることなく通過し、更に搬送路３２ｆ、３２ｊにより回転搬送路１５に送られる。
この回転搬送路１５により損券の紙幣は前記のように９０度捻られて接続用搬送路１６により紙幣補充回収機２に送り込まれる。
【００３５】
紙幣補充回収機２では、紙幣入出金機１の接続用搬送路１６と接続した接続用搬送路１６により前記損券の紙幣が回転搬送路１５に送られ、この回転搬送路１５により損券の紙幣は９０度捻られた後、搬送路４５ｅにより表裏反転部４４に搬送される。
そして、この場合も紙幣は表裏を取り揃えられることなく通過し、更に鑑別部４３も通過して搬送路４５ａにより繰り出し集積部４２に搬送され、この繰り出し集積部４２に集積される。
【００３６】
このようにしてオペレータにより紙幣投入口２１に投入された真券の紙幣がすべて紙幣入出金機１の一時保留部２７と、紙幣補充回収機２の紙幣が繰り出し集積部４２に集積されると、それらの紙幣の計数結果が操作卓７の表示部に表示される。
これをみて、オペレータがキー入力部により取引承認の情報を入力すると、一時保留部２７に集積された紙幣は紙幣収納庫２６に収納され、また繰り出し集積部４２の紙幣は一括収納庫４１の紙幣収納部４１ａに収納される。
【００３７】
一方、オペレータがキー入力部により取引を取り消す情報を入力すると、一時保留部２７に集積されている紙幣が順次１枚ずつ繰り出されて搬送路３２ｄ，３２ｇ、及び３２ｈにより順次搬送されて出金口３１に集積される。
その後、紙幣補充回収機２の繰り出し集積部４２に集積されている損券の紙幣が１枚ずつ繰り出され、搬送路４５ａ、４５ｅ、回転搬送路１５、接続用搬送路１６により順次搬送されて、紙幣入出金機１に送り込まれ、更に紙幣入出金機１の接続用搬送路１６、回転搬送路１５、搬送路３２ｊ．３２ｇ、３２ｈにより順次搬送されて出金口３１に集積される。
【００３８】
そして、一時保留部２７に集積されていた紙幣及び繰り出し集積部４２に集積されていた損券の紙幣がすべて出金口３１に集積されると、この出金口３１のシヤッターが開いて、紙幣がオペレータに返却される。
次に、出金取引について説明する。
オペレータが紙幣入出金機１の操作卓７を操作して出金取引を指定し、紙幣の金種毎の枚数（または金額）を入力すると、繰り出し手段２８により紙幣収納庫２６から紙幣が１枚ずつ繰り出されて搬送路３２ｅにより第２の鑑別部２９に搬送され、真偽，金種，表裏，正損等を鑑別が行われる。
【００３９】
その結果、偽券等と鑑別されたリジェクト紙幣は搬送路３２ｆ、３２ｇ、３２ｉによりリジェクト紙幣収納庫３０に搬送されて収納される。
第２の鑑別部２９で真券でかつ出金に利用できる正券と鑑別された紙幣は、この第１の鑑別部２３で金種別に計数されてから３２ｆ、３２ｇ、３２ｈにより順次搬送されて出金口３１に集積される。
【００４０】
また、第２の鑑別部２９により真券ではあるが出金に利用できない損券と鑑別された紙幣は、金種別に計数されてから搬送路３２ｊにより回転搬送路１５に送られ、この回転搬送路１５により損券の紙幣は９０度捻られて接続用搬送路１６により紙幣補充回収機２に送り込まれる。
紙幣補充回収機２では、紙幣入出金機１の接続用搬送路１６と接続した接続用搬送路１６により前記損券の紙幣が回転搬送路１５に送られ、この回転搬送路１５により損券の紙幣は９０度捻られた後、搬送路４５ｅにより表裏反転部４４に搬送される。
【００４１】
そして、この損券の紙幣は表裏を取り揃えられることなく表裏反転部４４を通過し、更に鑑別部４３も通過して搬送路４５ａにより繰り出し集積部４２に搬送され、この繰り出し集積部４２に集積される。
前記出金口３１にオペレータが指定した金種，枚数の紙幣が集積されると、この出金口３１のシヤッターが開いて、紙幣がオペレータに出金され、繰り出し集積部４２に集積された紙幣が一括収納庫４１の紙幣収納部４１ａに収納される。
【００４２】
このようにして本実施の形態は入金取引、及び出金取引時における損券を紙幣補充回収機２の一括収納庫４１に収納するものであるが、施封小束支払機３で紙幣の小束を作るために紙幣入出金機１の紙幣収納庫２６から繰り出した紙幣を回転搬送路１５及び接続搬送路１６を介して施封小束支払機３に送る際に第２の鑑別部２９で損券と鑑別された紙幣も前記出金取引時と同様に紙幣補充回収機２の一括収納庫４１に収納させるものとする。
【００４３】
ところで、紙幣補充回収機２は、営業店内の自動化コーナーに設置されるＡＴＭに紙幣を補充する際に一括収納庫４１が用いられる。そのため、紙幣の補充に用いられる一括収納庫４１が紙幣補充回収機２に装着され、紙幣入出金機１から送られてくる紙幣が一括収納庫４１に繰り出し集積部４２を介して収納される。また、精査の際にはＡＴＭ内の紙幣収納庫の紙幣が一括収納庫４１内に回収され、この一括収納庫４１を紙幣補充回収機２に装着して、一括収納庫４１内の紙幣の自動計数が鑑別部４３により行われる。
【００４４】
これら、紙幣の装填や精査のための回収は、営業店等により定められた時間に行われることが多い。
但し、紙幣の補充はＡＴＭの運用中にも行われるが、その頻度は高くない。
更に、予め紙幣を収納した一括収納庫４１を紙幣補充回収機２に装着し、この一括収納庫４１から繰り出した紙幣を施封小束支払機３に送って小束を作ることも行われるが、その頻度もそれほど高くない。
【００４５】
従って、上述したように紙幣入出金機１による入金及び出金取引時等に、損券を紙幣補充回収機２に搬送して一括収納庫４１に収納しても、運用上問題はないが、紙幣補充回収機２による一括収納庫４１への紙幣の補充、自動計数、及び施封小束支払機３による小束作成の処理時には、損券収納用に用いる一括収納庫４１は紙幣補充回収機２から取り外しておく必要がある。
【００４６】
そこで、本実施の形態では、これらの処理中に紙幣入出金機１で入金取引及び出金取引が行われた場合、その取引で損券と鑑別された紙幣は一時保留部２７に金種別に振り分けて集積して紙幣収納庫２６に収納しておき、損券を収納する一括収納庫４１が紙幣補充回収機２が再装着された後、再度紙幣収納庫２６から繰り出されて損券と鑑別されたとき、紙幣補充回収機２に搬送して一括収納庫４１に収納する。
【００４７】
また、前記の装填、自動計数、小束作成の処理後、損券を収納する一括収納庫４１が再装着されなかった場合は、操作卓７の表示部に損券を収納する一括収納庫４１の装着を促すメーッセジを表示し、装着されるまでの間、上記と同様に損券を一時保留部２７を介して紙幣収納庫２６に収納するものとする。
【００４８】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明は、紙幣入出金機、紙幣補充回収機、施封小束支払機間で互いに紙幣の搬送を可能にする紙幣搬送手段を備えて、前記紙幣入出金機での入金取引時、出金取引時、及び紙幣入出金機から施封小束支払機への紙幣の搬送時に、前記紙幣入出金機で損券と鑑別された紙幣を前記紙幣搬送手段により前記紙幣補充回収機に搬送し、該紙幣補充回収機に損券紙幣収納用として装着されている一括収納庫に前記繰り出し集積部を介して収納するようにしている。
【００４９】
そのため、紙幣入出金機には損券を収納する損券収納庫を設ける必要がなくなり、紙幣入出金機の小型化が可能になる。
また、新金種紙幣の発行に伴って紙幣入出金機での取扱い金種を増やしたい場合や、特定金種の紙幣（例えば、万円紙幣）の収納量を増加するために紙幣収納庫の数を増加しても、損券収納庫が省略されているので紙幣入出金機の大型化が抑制されるという効果も得られる。
【００５０】
更に、紙幣補充回収機では、一括収納庫は単体で着脱できるため、損券が満杯になった場合でも容易に交換することができ、損券の取り出しや一括収納庫の交換作業を簡単かつ短時間で行えるという効果も得られる。
