Storage unit 121 and change A dispensing holding unit 130 having a function of holding by depositing a plurality of bills as well as discharge the bill out of the apparatus, and a control unit 140 for controlling these, a.

The deposit taking-in part 104 is provided with a separation / feeding mechanism for feeding a plurality of banknotes that have been batch-loaded into the transport path 105 while separating them one by one.
The transport mechanism 110 has a sorting and transport function that feeds the banknotes sent one by one from the deposit taking-in section 104 into the first or second banknote storage section 120, 121 in denomination, and the first or second banknote. And a function of conveying banknotes sent out one by one from the storage units 120 and 121 to the withdrawal holding unit 130, respectively. The transport mechanism 110 includes a roller, a belt, and a branch gate 111 (not shown), a motor for driving these movable parts, a solenoid, and the like. Each roller, belt, and branch gate is driven by control from the control unit 140. By doing so, each transfer function can be realized at a predetermined timing.

The first banknote storage unit 120 is dedicated to the first banknote, for example, a 10,000-yen banknote, and accepts or introduces 10,000-yen banknotes sent to the introduction unit 120a via the transport path 105 one by one. It has a loop recirculation function that feeds one by one from the sending section 120b provided separately from the section 120a to the transport path 105.
The second banknote storage unit 121 is for a second banknote, for example, a thousand-yen banknote, and accepts a thousand-yen banknote sent to the introduction unit 121a via the transport path 105 one by one, or the introduction unit 121a. And a loop recirculation function for feeding one by one from the delivery unit 121b provided separately to the transport path 105. The second banknote storage unit 121 is a cassette type that can be pulled out of the machine. At the end of work, the first banknote stored in the first banknote storage unit 120 is sent to the second banknote storage unit 121. By accumulating, all banknotes can be taken out to the outside by using the second banknote storage unit 121.

The conveyance path 105 sorts the banknotes sent out from the deposit taking-in part 104 into denominations, and deposits a transfer route 105A for transferring them to the introduction sections 120a and 121a of the first and second banknote storage sections 120 and 121, respectively.

And a collection transport route 105C for transporting the banknotes one by one to the second bill storage unit 121 via the withdrawal route 105B and the deposit route 105A.
At the time when the operation of the vending machine equipped with the banknote handling apparatus is completed, the 10,000 yen banknotes stored in each banknote storage unit 120 are transferred to the second banknote storage unit 121 one by one and all 10,000 After completing the transfer of the yen banknote, the worker pulls out the second banknote storage unit 121 and collects the sales price (all banknotes).

When the banknotes in the first banknote storage unit 120 are transferred to the second banknote storage unit 121, the banknotes stored in the first banknote storage unit 120 are separated one by one from the sending unit 120b. The paper is sent to the collection conveyance route 105 </ b> C and transferred to the second banknote storage unit 121.
Since it is sufficient to set a predetermined number of thousand yen bills to be used as change at the start of work in the second bill storage unit 121, the access point to the bills by an operator is limited to one place and security is improved. Reduces the burden on workers.
However, in the conventional loop recirculation type banknote processing apparatus, when the banknote in the first banknote storage unit 120 is transferred to the second banknote storage unit 121, the sending unit of the first banknote storage unit Since a large number of banknotes are transferred one by one via a long-distance collection conveyance route 105C from 120b to the introduction part 121a of the second banknote storage unit, the rate of occurrence of jam during transfer is increased. . In addition, the time required for collection is prolonged. However, in the loop reflux type, it is impossible to further shorten the collection conveyance route 105C.

Patent Document 1 includes a loop reflux type banknote storage unit provided for each denomination and a large-capacity replenishment / collection banknote storage unit, and replenishes / collects banknotes in all banknote storage units at the end of work. A banknote dispensing machine is disclosed in which all banknotes can be taken out from the replenishment / collection banknote storage section by feeding them one by one into the section.
However, in this conventional example, the work of transferring a large amount of banknotes stored in each banknote storage unit one by one to the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit is required, so that the recovery operation takes a long time. There is. Moreover, since it is necessary to arrange a large replenishment / collection banknote storage part in the apparatus separately from a plurality of banknote storage parts, not only the mechanism for banknote storage and conveyance is complicated, but also the apparatus is large. There was a drawback of becoming. Moreover, since it is a loop-type reflux-type banknote processing apparatus using a denomination-type banknote storage unit that is separately provided with an inlet and an outlet for banknotes, it is a large-scale reflux-type banknote processing apparatus having a complicated transport path.
While demands for miniaturization of various banknote handling apparatuses are increasing, it is difficult to adopt a configuration that causes such an increase in size.

That is, when collecting the banknote bundle accumulated in the temporary storage unit 30 to the second banknote storage unit 25, collective conveyance via the collection conveyance route 5D is performed.
The transport mechanism 10 sorts and transports the banknotes fed one by one from the deposit taking-in section 4 to the first or second banknote storage sections 20 and 25 by denomination by transporting the banknotes by a predetermined route. The banknotes that have been fed out from the first or second banknote storage units 20 and 25 one by one in order to be transported and deposited in the temporary storage unit 30 and have been fed out from the temporary storage unit 30. And a collective conveyance function that collectively feeds the banknote bundle to the second bill storage unit 25 that also serves as a collection storage unit via the collection conveyance route 5b. By driving each roller, belt, and gate 11 under the control of the control means 40, the above-described transport functions can be realized at a predetermined timing.

The first banknote storage unit 20 is dedicated to the first banknote, for example, a 10,000-yen banknote, and introduces the 10,000-yen banknote transported by the transport path 5 (payment route 5A) from the introduction unit 20a to the inside. , Has a loop-type reflux function for sending one by one from the sending unit 20b to the transport path 5 (withdrawal route 5B or temporary holding route 5C).
The second banknote storage unit 25 is for second banknotes, for example, thousand yen banknotes that are frequently used as change, and the thousand yen banknotes transported by the transport path 5 (payment route 5A) are introduced from the introduction section 25a to the inside. In addition to being introduced, it has a loop-type reflux function for feeding one by one from the delivery section 25b to the transport path 5 (withdrawal route 5B).

In the present invention, for example, the second banknote storage unit 25 is configured to be detachable (including in / out) in a cassette manner, and is provided on the wall of the exterior body 3 facing the second banknote storage unit 25 (not shown). The second banknote storage unit 25 is taken out by opening the door, and the stored banknotes can be collected.
The feature of the present invention is that the control means 40 removes the first banknote (10,000 yen banknote) in the first banknote storage unit by operating a collection start switch (not shown) in the banknote collection operation at the end of work. The first banknote bundle of 20 sheets in the temporary storage unit after being transported at a high speed to the temporary storage unit 30 one by one via the temporary storage route 5C having an extremely short total length and deposited in a predetermined number (for example, 20 sheets). Is repeatedly transferred to the second banknote storage unit 25 via the collection transport route 5D, whereby all the first banknotes stored in the first banknote storage unit 20 are transferred to the second banknotes. It is configured to be transferred to the storage unit 25.
The number of banknotes sent to the temporary storage unit 30 is counted based on passage information detected by a paper passing sensor disposed at an appropriate position such as a conveyance path.

Next, the conventional banknote processing apparatus shown in FIG. 3 is compared with the banknote processing apparatus of the present invention shown in FIG.
First, in the conventional banknote processing apparatus shown in FIG. 3, the length of the collection conveyance route 105 </ b> C connecting the delivery unit 120 b of the first banknote storage unit 120 to the introduction unit 121 a of the second banknote storage unit 121 is set to 1 m. And
Next, let the conveyance distance from the discharge part 20b of the 1st banknote storage part 20 shown in FIG. 1 to the introduction part 25a of the 2nd banknote storage part 25 be 1 m. Since the temporary storage unit 30 is interposed between the temporary storage route 5C and the collection transport route 5D, the temporary storage device connects the discharge unit 20b of the first banknote storage unit to the introduction unit 30a of the temporary storage unit 30. The length of the route 5C can be shortened to about 0.3 m. Moreover, the distance from the introduction part 30a of a temporary storage part to the introduction part 25a of a 2nd banknote storage part will be 0.7 m. The distance from the sending part 30b of the temporary storage part to the introduction part 25a of the second banknote storage part is further shorter than 0.7 m.

In the conventional example of FIG. 3, if 20 ten thousand yen banknotes are transported from the first banknote storage unit 120 to the second banknote storage unit 121 via the recovery transport route 105C, the transport distance is 20 m in total. .
On the other hand, if the banknote processing apparatus of FIG. 1 transports 20 thousand yen banknotes from the first banknote storage unit 20 to the temporary storage unit 30 via the temporary storage route 5C, a total of 6.7 m (0. The conveyance distance is 3 m × 20 times + 0.7 m × 1 time. That is, since 20 sheets are temporarily reserved from the first banknote storage unit 20 to the temporary storage unit 30, the total conveyance distance is shortened and the jam occurrence rate is greatly reduced. Further, since 20 sheets are bundled and conveyed from the temporary storage unit 30 to the second banknote storage unit, the jam occurrence rate is greatly reduced.
In this embodiment, the second banknote storage unit 25 is also used as the collected banknote storage unit, and the first and second banknotes are collected in the second banknote storage unit 25 at the end of the operation, thereby collecting them in a lump. The collection work can be performed. Therefore, it is preferable that the second banknote storage unit 25 is configured as a cassette type that can be detached from the apparatus main body or can be taken in and out. Of course, the second banknote storage unit 25 that stores thousand-yen banknotes that are frequently used as banknotes that are used as change as well as banknotes that are thrown in by the user is also used as the banknote collection storage section. By adopting a configuration in which bills with low usage frequency such as yen bills are transferred to the second bill storage unit 25, it is possible to shorten the collection time.

The temporary storage unit 30 has a configuration for stacking banknotes conveyed at high speed one by one in a stacked state, and sending the stacked banknote bundles to the collection transport route 5D in a lump. Since the sent banknote bundle is sent all at once into the second banknote storage unit 25, the collection efficiency can be greatly increased. That is, 10,000 yen banknotes in the first banknote storage unit with a small number of stored sheets are stacked and stored in the temporary storage unit 30 and then transferred to the second banknote storage unit as a bundle of banknotes one by one. It is clear that the recovery time is significantly shortened as compared with the conventional apparatus for recovery. And since the exclusive collection banknote accommodating part is not provided separately, the whole size of an apparatus can be made small.
In addition, what is necessary is just to add the accommodating part similar to a 1st accommodating part, and to allocate to a 5,000 yen banknote and a 2000 yen banknote when accepting a 5,000 yen banknote and a 2000 yen banknote. Further, if the change is to be paid out only with a thousand yen bill, the five thousand yen and two thousand yen bills may be stored in the first bill storage section with the configuration of FIG.
According to the banknote handling apparatus according to this embodiment, in a configuration in which a denomination-type loop reflux type banknote storage unit is also provided, when the banknotes stored in one banknote storage unit are collected in the other banknote storage unit, Since the collective conveyance with the holding unit interposed is performed, the transfer processing time can be shortened without increasing the size of the apparatus. That is, using a temporary storage unit having a simpler structure than the reflux-type banknote storage unit, the stored banknotes to be transferred are fed to the temporary storage unit one by one and accumulated, and the stacked banknote bundle is directly placed on the same transport path. Since it is fed out and bundled and conveyed to the banknote storage part that also serves as the collected banknote storage part, the time required for the banknote transfer process can be shortened.

Next, FIG. 2 is a configuration explanatory view of a banknote handling apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the banknote handling mechanism 2 according to this embodiment stores a collected banknote dedicated to the banknote handling mechanism 2 of FIG. The structure which added the part (cassette only for collection | recovery banknotes) 50 is characteristic.
In this embodiment, a 10,000 yen banknote bundle is held in the temporary storage unit 30 by high-speed conveyance one by one from the first banknote storage unit 20 to the temporary storage unit 30 via the temporary storage route 5C. From this, the 10,000 yen banknote in the first banknote storage unit 20 is emptied by repeating the operation of collectively transporting the 10,000 yen banknote bundle to the recovered banknote storage unit 50 via the recovery transport route 5D. Next, all the thousand yen bills stored in the second bill storage unit 25 are transferred to the collected bill storage unit 50 by the same procedure.
The collected banknote storage unit 50 only needs to have a simple configuration for sequentially stacking banknote bundles conveyed from the temporary storage unit 30 on the stacking plate, and a complicated mechanism for recirculation is not required. Therefore, the collected banknote storage unit 50 does not increase in cost.
