By driving the drive pulley 113 in the forward or reverse direction by the motor 117, the third horizontal movable block 98c moves forward or backward.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6A, the unloading mechanism 55
The banknotes P sent in through the banknotes P are inserted into the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 forming the receiving openings 62 of the banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96b, which are at the upper limit position in advance, and both ends of the banknotes P are held. When the holding of the bank note P by the receiving fittings 90, 90 is completed in this way, the first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a, 98b equipped with the bank note holding mechanisms 96a, 96b simultaneously move forward and hold the bank note P. The banknotes P... are transferred to the back side of the banknote storage chamber 66, and the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage chamber 66 are transferred to the end surfaces of the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 in the moving direction as shown in FIG. …
Press the back side, that is, both longitudinal ends on the side opposite to the extraction direction. At this time, as the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 are pressed, the accumulation pressure of the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage chamber 66 increases, and the pressure detection switch 1 disposed in parallel with the withdrawal pressure detection switch 73 increases.
18 is turned on, and the banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96
First and second horizontal movable blocks 98 equipped with
The motor 105, which is the drive source for a and 98b, stops.

Next, the motor 112 of the backup mechanism 107 that backs up the banknotes P in the banknote storage chamber 66 is reversed to lower the backup body 72, and as shown in FIG. It can be retracted to the lower surface side of the banknote receiving surface 66a of 66. Next, the motor 117, which is the drive source of the third horizontal movable block 98c equipped with the backup mechanism 107, is reversely rotated for a predetermined period of time, so that the backup body 72 is moved backward, and the receiving metal fitting 9

Opposing the central part in the longitudinal direction. At this time, the motor 105 rotates slightly in the opposite direction to move the first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a and 98 on which the banknote holding mechanisms 96a and 96b are mounted.
b moves back a little and turns the pressure detection switch 118 "off".

Next, the back-up body 72 advances and pushes the longitudinal center portion of the bank note P, which is held at both ends by the receiving metal fittings 90, 90, from the back side, and is stored in the bank note storage chamber 66. Bank note P
Press the pressure detection switch 11 on the back side of...
When 8 is turned "on" again, its movement is stopped.

When the pressing operation of the banknotes P held by the receiving fittings 90, 90 by the back-up body 72 is completed in this way, the banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96b
The motors 95, 95 rotate in the opposite direction, and the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 are lowered and drawn into the lower surface side of the banknote receiving surface 66a of the banknote storage chamber 66, as shown in FIG. 6E. Thereafter, the first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a and 98b are moved backward by the reverse rotation of the motor 105, and the receiving fittings 90 and 90 become in a state corresponding to the carrying-out mechanism 55. Next, at this position, motor 9
5 and 95 rotate in the forward direction and the receiving metal fittings 90 and 90
increases, and as shown in Figure 6, the subsequent bank note P
... is placed on standby as acceptable.

After this, the motor 117 rotates slightly in the reverse direction, causing the backup body 72 to move back a little, and the pressure detection switch 118 to turn off.

With the above steps, the operation of storing the deposited banknotes P into the banknote storage chamber 66 for storing the withdrawal banknotes P is completed.

Note that the withdrawal pressure detection switch 73 is adapted to operate at a pressure weaker than the pressure detected by the pressure detection switch 118, and the banknote storage chamber 66
In other words, the backup body 72 and the take-out roller 67
The motor 117 is driven in the forward direction when the accumulated pressure of banknotes P between the banknotes P... becomes less than the best take-out pressure, and is stopped when the best take-out pressure is reached. The backup body 72 is intermittently moved to a state commensurate with the amount of banknotes P to be taken out from the banknote storage chamber 66, so that good banknotes can always be taken out.

Next, the operation of the automatic currency transaction device having the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. First, the withdrawal operation will be explained based on FIG. For example, assume that two denominations of banknotes P are used for withdrawal, and the banknotes P are 1,000 yen note Pa and 10,000 yen note Pb.
A thousand yen note Pa... is set in advance in the banknote storage chamber 66 of the third safe section 65, and a ten thousand yen note Pb... is set in advance in the banknote storage chamber 66 of the third safe section 65.
Assuming that banknotes Pa and Pb of 4,000 yen are to be withdrawn, first, five 10,000 yen banknotes Pb are intermittently taken out by the action of the take-out roller 67 and transferred to the supply conveyance path 74.
The banknotes are transferred from the safe unit section 11 to the first conveyance path 18 of the banknote processing section 10. Then, the banknote inspection device 24 installed in the middle of this first conveyance path 18 inspects the size of the ten thousand yen note Pb, presence or absence of stacked conveyance, authenticity, etc., and the banknote passes the inspection result. The objects are sorted by the fourth sorting gate 35 and accumulated in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28 via the impeller 50. At this time, if there are 10,000 yen bills Pb' that have been rejected as a result of the inspection, they are taken out again by the take-out roller 67 by the number of rejected bills and similarly stacked in the fourth temporary stacking section 28. Incidentally, the rejected ten thousand yen note Pb' is conveyed as it is along the first conveyance path 18 to the terminal end and is collected in the collection warehouse 29. This completes the operation of taking out the 10000 yen note Pb..., and then the 1000 yen note Pa
Four banknotes are intermittently taken out from the banknote storage chamber 66 of the first safe section 63 and delivered to the banknote processing section 10 via the supply conveyance path 74. Then, after the same process as in the case of the 10,000 yen note Pb, it is accumulated on the 10,000 yen note Pb in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28.

In this way, the banknotes Pa..., Pb of 54,000 yen accumulated in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28 are taken out by the above-mentioned arrangement device 54 explained based on FIGS. 3 and 4. Both end surfaces along the direction are aligned, and then the gate 51 is opened as shown by the two-dot chain line, and the push plate 53 is lowered and pushed out, passing through the second conveyance path 38 to the temporary receiving section 49.
It will be transported to Furthermore, these banknotes Pa…,Pb
... are fed into the banknote receiving section 12 by the rotational movement of the movable plate 48, and the customer is prompted to take them out by automatically opening the lid 5, and receives banknotes Pa..., Pb from the deposit/withdrawal port 6. I'll have to take it out. (that's all,
In FIG. 7, solid line arrows indicate the flow of withdrawal banknotes that have passed the inspection, and dashed line arrows indicate the flow of withdrawal banknotes that have failed the inspection. ) Next, the operation of depositing money will be explained based on FIGS. 8 to 10. For example, in the case of deposit, 4
It is assumed that banknotes P of denominations P... are handled, and the banknotes P... are 500 yen notes, 1000 yen notes, 5000 yen notes, and 10,000 yen notes. First, when the customer operates according to the operation guide, the lid 5 automatically opens and the deposit/withdrawal port 6 is opened. Customers can use banknotes P...
After inserting banknotes P into the deposit/withdrawal slot 6 at once, when the cover body 5 is manually closed as a signal to finish inserting banknotes, the taking-in roller 13 rotates intermittently, and the input banknotes P held in the banknote receiving section 12 are rotated intermittently. ...is taken in intermittently one by one.
