A bill insertion is determined based on signals from the sensors 34 and 44.

  When the determination result is that there is a bill inserted, the motor of the transport drive source starts to rotate, whereby each endless belt 43 of the bill transport unit 40 starts to rotate and the transport of the inserted bill PM is started. .

  In the middle of conveyance until the banknote PM reaches the banknote storage position, the authenticity of the banknote PM is discriminated based on signals from the authenticity identification sensors 47 and 53, and if it is authentic (1000 yen bill, 2000 (Yen bill, 5000 yen bill, 10000 yen bill) are also discriminated.

  When the determination result is authentic, the banknote conveyance is continued and the banknote PM is sent to the banknote storage position (position where the banknote PM comes to the front side of the banknote storage plate 21, see the broken line in FIG. 5). Stopped. That is, when the bill PM inserted into the bill insertion slot 61 is authentic, the bill PM reaches the bill storage position by one continuous conveyance.

  When banknote conveyance is stopped, the motor of the storage drive source starts to rotate, whereby the form of the link mechanism 22 changes and the banknote storage plate 21 moves in parallel to the left and the banknote PM located at the banknote storage position. Moves to the left together with the bill storage plate 21, pushes the cassette plate 72 against the biasing force of the coil spring 73, and is pushed into the bill storage cassette 70 so as to get over the left and right rails 71. After pushing, the motor of the storage drive source further rotates to return the link mechanism 22 and the banknote storage plate 21 to their original positions, and the banknote PM has its both sides in the width direction between the left and right rails 71 and the cassette plate 72. It is stored in a sandwiched state.

  On the other hand, when the true / false discrimination result is non-authentic (including unidentifiable), the transport drive motor rotates in the reverse direction, whereby each endless belt of the banknote transport unit 40 rotates in the reverse direction, The bill PM is conveyed toward the bill insertion slot 61 and returned.

  The above operation is repeated each time the bill PM is inserted into the bill insertion slot 61 of the mask 60, and the genuine bill PM is stored on the rear surface of the cassette plate 72.

  When collecting the banknote PM in the banknote storage cassette 70, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 5, the banknote storage cassette from the viewing window IW (the U-shaped gap formed above the U-shaped pressing portion 92 of the locking lever 90). The inside of 70 is looked into and the presence or absence of accommodation of banknote PM is confirmed from the exterior by seeing through the upper part of the transparent cassette plate 72. FIG.

  After confirming that the bills PM are stored, the fingertip is inserted into the viewing window IW, and the U-shaped pressing portion 92 of the locking lever 90 is moved downward with the fingertip to a position where the lower end abuts the lower end of the opening 74.

Then, the bill storage cassette 70 is opened by rotation about the pivot point (left and right shaft portions 75) as a fulcrum, and the bill PM stored in a state of being sandwiched between the left and right rails 71 and the cassette plate 72 is stored. Take out.

  After the banknote PM is taken out, the banknote storage cassette 70 is returned to the closed position by rotation about the pivotal support portion (left and right shaft portions 75), and the lower end of the U-shaped pressing portion 92 of the locking lever 90 has the opening 74. When the fingertip is pushed down to the position where it comes into contact with the lower end, the pressure is released, and the left and right engagement protrusions 93 are inserted into the left and right recesses on the lower surface of the rear chute 50 by the elastic restoring force of the elastic ring 94 to store the bills. The cassette 70 is returned to the closed state.

  Thus, according to the banknote identification device described above, the inside of the banknote storage cassette 70 is looked into from the viewing window IW (the U-shaped gap formed above the U-shaped pressing portion 92 of the locking lever 90). Since it is configured so that whether or not the banknote PM is stored can be confirmed by seeing through the upper portion of the cassette plate 72, the upper portion of the stored banknote PM is used as a cassette plate in order to confirm whether or not the banknote PM is stored by direct viewing as before. There is no need to expose it on the top side. In short, since the cassette plate 72 having the same vertical dimension as the banknote PM or slightly larger than the vertical dimension can be used, the sandwiching area of the banknote PM between the left and right rails 71 and the cassette plate 72 can be enlarged. PM can be stored in a stable state, and the presence / absence of storage of banknotes PM from the outside can be easily confirmed by seeing through the transparent cassette plate 72.
