[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention provides a safe that stores a large number of banknotes (money) with a memory and manages the banknotes stored in the safe. Concerning automatic transaction equipment to be strict.

(Prior Art) In financial institutions such as banks, a large number of automatic transaction devices capable of depositing and withdrawing cash using so-called magnetic cards (recording media) are installed at each branch. Conventional automatic transaction devices, for example, take out the withdrawal amount input by the customer at the time of the withdrawal transaction from the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit and discharge it to the customer.

When the above-mentioned withdrawal transaction is performed and the banknotes stored in the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit run out, the clerk carries the banknotes from the banknote sorting machine that stores the banknotes and replenishes the banknotes in the safe. When banknotes are replenished, the automatic transaction device resumes deposit and withdrawal transactions. In addition, in recent years, there has been an increase in so-called unmanned operation in which automated teller machines are operated when banks are closed, and the operating hours of the machines are being extended when banks are in operation. With the above-mentioned unmanned operation, there are more opportunities to replenish banknotes in the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit of the automatic transaction device.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional device, when the banknotes in the cash deposit/withdrawal unit's safe run out, the banknotes are replenished by the staff, which may lead to malfunctions and other accidents. I didn't like it. In the future, with the promotion of unmanned operation of automated teller machines and the extension of operating hours, opportunities to replenish banknotes in safes will increase, so the exact number of coins stored in safes will be strictly managed. There was a demand, and a solution was desperately needed.

This invention was made in view of the above, and its purpose is to provide an automatic transaction device that improves the reliability of the number of coins in a safe by accurately grasping the number of coins stored in the safe. It's about doing.

In addition, J nonxub J nong 90 is plunger-85
It is a spring that helps the body recover.

Further, for example, at the upper part of the lock plate 82 in the figure, a safe cassette 72 is provided with a banknote sorting machine 1o, which will be described later.

A magnetic display 114 is provided to indicate whether banknotes A have been replenished.

Here, regarding the magnetic display 114, the fifth
This will be explained using FIGS. (c) and (d). The magnetic indicator 114 is made up of an electromagnetic core (pole) 115, a coil 116 wound around the electromagnetic core 115, and a permanent magnet rotatably provided between the magnetic poles at both ends of the electromagnetic core 115, one side of which is colored. The display disk 117 includes a surface C1 and a display disk 117 whose other surface is a black surface B. Then, a current flows in the coil 116 in the positive direction due to the set pulse, and the electromagnet A 115 is connected to the display disk 117.
The display disk 117 is magnetized to be the color surface C, and the residual magnetism remaining in the electromagnet core 115 fixes the display disk 117 in the state of the color surface C (the state shown in FIG. 5(C)). When current flows in the opposite direction, the polarity of the electromagnet 115 is reversed, and the display disk 11
7 is reversed so that it becomes the black side B, and is fixed by the residual magnetism remaining in the electromagnet core 115 (the state shown in Fig. 5 (d))
.

In this manner, by changing the polarity of the electromagnetic core 115, the display disk 117 is inverted and self-maintained at a position where the color surface C1, black, and B are displayed.

When the magnetic display 114 having the above configuration is on the black side B (FIG. 5(d)), the safe cassette bill sorting machine 1
00 indicates that banknotes A have not been replenished, and on the other hand, the safe cassette with color side C (Fig. 5 (C)) is the banknote sorting machine 1o.

This indicates that banknotes A have been replenished.

The control of each safe such as the million yen box 16 described above is shown in FIG. 6(a).
This will be explained using a small block diagram in (b). Figure 6 (a
) is equipped with an EEPROM95 which is an electrically erasable non-volatile memory as a storage element, as shown in Fig. 6(b).
is equipped with a battery 94 as a power source.

First, a safe cassette 72 of the type shown in FIG.
In addition to the FEPROM 95, it has control sections 97 a and B and an interface section 98 a.

The EEPROM 95 stores the type and number of banknotes stored in the safe at a predetermined address. Further, even if the EEPROM 95 is powered off, the data stored in the address will not be erased. EEP in history
In the ROM 95, if the safe cassette 72 is tradable, it is lightning, and if the safe cassette 72 is not tradable, a flag indicating [11] is displayed. The control unit 97a is an EEPROM
An address is specified from the address line 95, and a read line or a line I to is specified to the specified address from the data line to read or occupy data. The interface chair section 98a includes a control section 97a and an H7l control section 9.
It controls data transmission with the second and other devices, and data transmission is performed by serial-to-parallel conversion using start-stop synchronization.

As shown in FIG. 6(b), a small piggy bank safe cassette 72 is provided with a power supply section 94 for supplying power to a control section 97b and the like in the main body of the safe. By being equipped with this power supply section 94, the control section 97b transfers the detection signal from the optical sensor 88 that detects the opening and closing of the lid 74 of the fortunes 16 to 19 to the EEPROM 95a.
, 95b. When the number of stored detection signals exceeds a permissible value, the controller 97t) controls the safes 16 to 1.
The banknote sorting machine 100, which will be described later, determines that the lid 74 of No. 9 is defective.
When the banknotes are loaded, the failure of the lid 74 is indicated by, for example, a warning light.

The EEPROM 95b, which stores information such as detection of opening/closing of the lid 74 and money for deposit/withdrawal transactions, also has an EPROM 95b for storing the same information as the EEPROM 95a as a backup. This makes it possible to reliably retain the information stored in the EEPROMs 95a and 95b even if a power outage occurs, and furthermore, the reliability of the information can be verified by comparing it with the information in the backup EPROM 95b. This can be improved by using a light emitting diode (LED99a) for the transmission of the genuine Oki cassette 72.
For reception, a photodiode 99b is connected to the interface section 98.
via b. In addition, this fLfiR horn center 72 is equipped with a solar battery 99c so that it can be supplemented with power without relying on an external source, which saves on maintenance costs and the like.

The safe cassette 72 having the above configuration can be used to deposit and withdraw bills by setting the safe in the bill sorting machine 100 and storing the desired number of bills even when there are no bills in the safe and the bill is replenished from the bill sorting machine 100. By setting it in the unit 12, banknotes can be replenished. As a result, banknotes can be replenished without having to touch the clerk's hands as in the past, so the banknotes to be replenished into the safe can be strictly managed.

FIG. 6(C) is a diagram showing the structure of the data stored in the EEPROMs 95a and 95b at predetermined addresses, including data ffff1 and equipment numbers. This table shows that when the safe cassette 72 is attached to the automatic transaction device 1, the number of the automatic transaction device 1 is displayed, and the banknote sorting machine 10 (described later)
01. : When installed, the number of the banknote sorting machine 100 is stored. Based on the number of the automatic transaction device 1 or the like, it can be determined whether or not the attached money cassette 72 has passed through the banknote sorting machine 100. This makes it possible to prevent the contents of the safe 72 removed from another automatic transaction device 1 from being hit.

Next, FIG. 7 shows the configuration of a banknote sorting machine 100 that replenishes banknotes into the loading warehouse 19, etc., for example. The banknote sorting machine 100 has counting units 1 to 101 and a storage unit 1 to 102 for replenishing a loading warehouse 198 with banknotes. The counting unit 101 is provided with an ID card insertion slot 103 on the front surface of the unit into which a JD card storing an operator number and the like is inserted. In addition, the counting unit 101 includes I
A hopper 104 is provided below the D card insertion slot 103, into which banknotes △ are placed to replenish the loading warehouse 19 and the like. An inspection section 105 is provided at the center of the unit behind the hopper 104 to determine the type of banknotes A sequentially taken out from the hopper 104 and to count the number of banknotes Δ. A reject banknote accumulating unit 106 is provided above the unit of the inspection unit 105 to collect reject bills that are inspected by the inspection unit 105 as reject bills. Adjacent to the rejected note accumulation unit 106, an unfit note accumulation unit (oven pocket) 107 is provided for accumulating unfit notes that have been inspected as unfit by the inspection unit 105.

On the other hand, the banknote A that was inspected as a genuine note by the inspection unit 105 is
From the inspection unit 105 to the storage unit 10 via the conveyance path R12
2, and is transported horizontally from near the center of the storage unit 102 and stored in a preset loading storage 19.

The number of banknotes △ stored in the loading FJ 119 from the hopper 104 is stacked by the inspection section 105, and
It is written to a predetermined address in PROM95.

As a modification of the above-mentioned deposit/withdrawal unit 12, the lower unit 14b has 10,000 yen pJl6. Receipt storage sections 20a and 20b for storing 2-ticket tickets in the 1,000-yen storage 17
FIG. 8 shows a configuration including the following.

For example, during a withdrawal transaction, a ten thousand yen bill taken out from the ten thousand yen store 16 is conveyed by a conveyance path to an inspection section 36 that determines the type of bill and counts the number of bills. Inspection Department 3
If the 10,000 yen note transported to 6 is a rejected note, the inspection department 36
transports the rejected ticket to Manyenzo 16 via the transport path (“
Ru. The 10,000 yen bill fed m is removed by the take-out roller 304a into the reject ticket storage section 2 provided at the lower end of the 10,000 yen box 16.
It is stored in 0b. Further, when the thousand yen note taken out from the thousand yen safe 17 is a rejected note, it is stored in the thousand yen note reject section 21b in the same manner.

Thereby, by storing in the EEPROM 95 the number of tickets taken out from the 10,000 Yen JiJ16 etc., the withdrawal performance of the safe can be managed.

Next, referring to FIG. 9, the attachment of the deposit/withdrawal unit 12 to the housing 2 will be explained.

The unit 14a and the lower unit 14b are fixed and held on the inside of the housing 2 and the inner wall 2C of the housing by a slide rail a and a slide rail b, respectively. A gap d is maintained between the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 14b. The roller 110 is
It is attached to the lower surface of the upper unit 14a, and
It is provided so as to maintain the gap d and roll into contact with the upper surface of the lower unit 14b, so that the gap d does not become small. The vertical connection VA transmits the power of a drive motor provided in the lower unit 14b to the upper unit 14a to drive the conveyance system. In this way, the upper unit 1-14a and the lower unit 14b are held by the slide rails b, so that they can be pulled out to the front or rear of the housing 2 as needed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, the housing 2 has a door section 2a and an operation section 3 at the front, and a door section 2b at the rear, which can be opened and closed. The unit can be pulled forward or backward. Also, depending on whether the unit is pulled out forward or backward, the upper and lower connecting gears G are connected to the lower unit 14.
b, in the case of the rear, it is attached to the unit 14a.

Next, the case where the unit is pulled out rearward and operated will be described using FIGS. 10 to 12.

In the rear operation, the upper and lower connecting gears G are connected to the upper unit 14a.
Since the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 14b can be pulled out at the same time (FIG. 10), it is possible to pull out only the lower unit 14b (FIG. 11). As in the case of front operation, loading J4i19 is carried out with the upper unit 14a and lower unit 14b pulled out, and the device et transport section R8a is raised upwards, and the loading storage 1 is loaded.
9 can be pulled upwards.

In FIG. 11, only the lower unit 14b is bent rearward, and the lower conveyance path 48 is rotated and opened.
6. You can withdraw 1,000 yen R17 and the deposit [18] upwards.

In addition, in the rear operation, the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 171b are housed in the housing 2, and the loading box 19 and the safe deposit box 18 are can be pulled out backwards. That is, by flipping up the rear end R8b of the loading conveyance section, the loading storage 19 can be pulled out rearward using the handle 111. Similarly, with respect to the safe deposit box 18, the rear end 48b of the lower transport section 48 is flipped upward, and the safe deposit box 18 can be pulled out rearward using the handle 111.

Next, let's look at the remaining check operation.

First, in the waiting period, as shown in FIG. 14(a), the flappers 315 and 315 are held in a closed state protruding into the storage section 20, and the banknotes accumulated on the lower side of these flappers 315 and 315 are held. A placed this banknote AS-i!
It is elastically pressed by a backup 310 from below. Therefore, when stacking banknotes, the stacking roller 3
02 and the tapping wheel 303, the banknotes A are sequentially taken into the storage section 20, and are temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage section 310a in the space above the flappers 315, 315.
Figure (b)]. When the loading of banknotes A is completed, the push plate 3
09 is lowered, and the banknote A in the minus hour storage section 301a is pushed down together with the flappers 315, 315 and moved to the specified storage position [FIG. 14(C)]. Konora solenoid's
The flappers 315 and 315 are closed [Fig. 14 (d>)], and the push plate 309 is raised and returned to the guard position, thereby allowing the banknotes to be closed by the flappers 315 and 315.
[first
Figure 4(e)]. Note that the push plate 309 is a flapper 315.
．． 315, and is configured to move up and down regardless of the arrangement of the flappers 315, 315. In this way, the accumulation and storage of banknotes A in the storage section 20 is completed, but as shown in FIG. When the residual check of the banknote A is performed by the residual detection sensor 316 and the residual is detected,
That is, when the residual detection sensor 316 is dark, the above-described accumulation and storage process is repeated again.

On the other hand, when taking out a banknote A, the push-in plate 309 descends from the standby state shown in FIG. (b)]. After this, push plate 3
09 rises together with the banknote Δ pressed upward by the backup 310 and returns to the normal position, and the banknote A contacts the takeout roller 304 and the feed roller 305.
FIG. 15(C)], and in this state, the take-out roller 30
4 and the feed roller 305, the bills A are sequentially taken out via the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304, and when a predetermined number of bills have been taken out, a signal from the take-in timing detection switch 323 causes the rubber surface 304a to The ejection D-ra 30 is kept in a position where it does not come out onto the conveyance path surface and does not connect to the banknotes A remaining in the storage section 301.
4 stops [Fig. 15(d)].

By the way, since the bill A is taken out only when the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 comes into contact with the bill, the leading edges of the bills A other than the bill A that is being taken out are in the storage section 3.
It should have stopped at the same position as the take-out side 70a 301A of 01, but since the gate roller 306 is used to align the taken-out banknotes A and take out a large number of bills,
Normally, the leading edge of the banknote A is guided to the position of the gate roller 306, or the timing of take-out is shifted for some reason, and the leading edge of the banknote A is guided to the position of the gate roller 306.
It may even reach the 07 position.

However, on the platform where banknotes A are accumulated and stored, there is a
As shown in C), the flapper 3 moves the banknotes in the storage section 20.
15. Push the flapper 315.3i below.
Since the temporary storage section 301a as a storage section must be formed above the retrieval side floor 30 as described above,
If there is a banknote A whose tip edge protrudes from 1△ (hereinafter referred to as ``Chiyo-Hichichi Ticket''), this Choro-issued ticket A'' will be inserted into the push plate 3.
When pressed at 09, the leading edge may break, and it may become impossible to take out the card when taken out. Therefore, it is necessary to pull back the running ticket A rr to the position where it meets the take-out floor 301A.

Therefore, when the banknotes A are taken out one by one and a predetermined number of sheets have been taken out, if the leading edge of the banknote A protrudes to the part of the big-up aperture 307, this is detected by the removal detection sensor 317. Then, based on this detection, the banknote A is taken out as a reject ticket and stored in a reject storage.

When the leading edge of the banknote A protrudes into the gate roller 306 (toward the gradual ejection), in other words, when the take-out detection sensor 317 is bright, the banknote A is first lowered through the push plate 309, and the banknote A is gradually ejected from the gate roller 306. is pulled back from the gate roller 306 [FIG. 16<a>], and the banknotes A accumulated on the back-up 310 are pressed by the pushing plate 309 and are pushed downward integrally with the back-up 310. move it to Then, when it moves to a certain position, the backup 310 is fixed via the electromagnetic brake 311, and in this state, only the push plate 309 is raised and returned to the standby position [16th
Figure (b)].

In response to this, the pressure on the banknote Δ on the backup 310 is released, and then, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned off to raise the backup 310 [FIG. 16(C)]. At this time, the backup 310
Since the pressure on the banknote A on top of the banknote A has been released, the banknote A n located at the top layer is on the withdrawal side floor 30.
It moves freely and is aligned by friction with 1A.

Here, the pushing plate 309 is again pushed down, and the bill A is pushed downward, and the residue detection sensor 316 detects the residue on the bill in the upper space. Since the alignment of protrusion A'' is insufficient, the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned on to fix the backup 310, the push plate 309 is placed in the standby position, and then the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned off to fix the backup 310. The above-mentioned alignment operation of raising the bill is repeated again, and if the residual detection sensor 316 is bright, it means that the alignment has been completed, and the banknote A is pushed downward by the pushing plate 309. Furthermore, the flappers 315, 315 are closed via the solenoid, and the banknote A is held below these flappers 315, 315 [Fig. A
When all are taken out, as shown in FIG. 13(b) and lowers integrally with the pushing plate 309
) ]. And the backup 310 is the flapper 315,
315, these flappers 315
315 is closed by turning on the solenoid, the backup 310 is locked by these flappers 315, and the push plate 309 is raised to return to the standby position.
FIG. 13(C)].

At this time, the light emitted from the sky detection sensor 320 is transmitted through the transmission hole 309a.
, 309b, but since this emitted light is oriented obliquely to the moving (lowering) direction of the pushing plate 309 and the backup 310, the output light changes relative to the moving (lowering) direction of the pushing plate 309 and the backup 310. The emitted light passes through the transmission hole 309a.

The state shifts sequentially from one end side to the other end side of the backup 310a, which makes it possible to perform empty detection over a wide area S on the top surface of the backup 310.
Even if there is a banknote A such as a folded ticket or a sutra scroll left on top of the banknote 10, it can be accurately detected without missing it [Fig. 17 (1) a
) to (h) will be described.

First, after power is turned on to the device, trading operations are started. After the start of work, the staff! ii) If a banknote is loaded from the operator operation panel provided on the center side of the neck, the process proceeds to subroutine 100; if a payment is to be made to check whether or not the safe cassette 72 is empty with no banknotes in it, the process proceeds to subroutine 200. move on. Further, if the clerk Q performs a residual check to check whether there are coins in the safe pit 72, the process proceeds to subroutine 300, and if the function Q performs calculation processing to check the number of rejected coins stored in the safe cassette 72, the process proceeds to subroutine 400.

Further, the staff member uses the operator operation panel to proceed to subroutine 500 if the safe cassette 72 set in the deposit/withdrawal unit 12 is to be replaced, to subroutine 600 if the safe cassette is to be handled, and to subroutine 700 if the safe is installed. Steps 10-70).

Loading bills from the bill organizer 31100 into the safe cassette 72 When proceeding to the loading process, the staff member inserts the ID card slot 10
Insert the ID card from step 3. After insertion, the clerk sets the safe cassette 72, for example the loading bin 19, into the storage unit 102. After setting, the mounting control section (not shown)
Refer to the flags in EEPROM95 and see if the flags are zero (
For example, display a warning light and send a warning. Further, information is read from the EEPROM 95 of the loaded storage 19 that has been hit, and a warning is issued if the set safe cassette 72 is empty. On the other hand, if the flag is zero, the set loading warehouse 19 is empty, and the safe has a defective ejection, the above-mentioned warning is issued and the process ends. 19 banknotes are loaded into the loading warehouse 19 (steps 100 to 135).

After loading, the staff member presses the start key to start the hopper 104.
The banknotes are taken out and conveyed to the inspection section 105. The inspection unit 105 inspects the front and back sides of the banknotes and determines the denomination, then counts the number of genuine banknotes and conveys them to the conveyance path R12. The transported banknotes are accumulated in the banknote storage section 23 of the loading warehouse 19 via the transport path R12. If the accumulated number reaches the storage number, the bills are stored in the banknote storage section 23. on the other hand,
If the stored number has not reached 100 bills, the bills are stored in the bill storage section 23 when 100 bills are accumulated. After storing, information on the number of stored sheets is written to the EPROM 95 of the device JHili 19, and the process ends (steps 140 to 175).
).

When proceeding to the exit processing, the staff member inserts the ID card from the ID card slot 103. After inserting, the staff member will insert safe cassette 7.
2. For example, set the loading storage 19 in the storage unit 102. After setting, the control section (not shown) of the device reads information from the EEPROM 95 of the set loaded single stack 19 and issues a warning if the pitted safe cassette 72 is empty.

On the other hand, if the set loading h19 is empty and the safe has been removed incorrectly, the above-mentioned warning is given and the process is terminated.

The above 1i11 law part 11 (not shown) is E E P R
If the flag of OM95 is not zero, a warning is issued; on the other hand, if the flag is zero, the process proceeds to step 230 (steps 200 to 2).
25).

When the process proceeds to step 230, the clerk presses the start key, and the banknote is taken out from the safe (loading box 19) and sent to the inspection section 105.
transported to. After inspecting the front and back sides of the banknotes and determining the denomination, the inspection unit 105 counts the number of genuine banknotes and passes them along the conveyance path l.
Transport to R12. The transported banknotes are accumulated in the A-Pun pocket (kl fP accumulation) 107 by the conveyance path R12. When the safe is empty due to accumulation, step 270
If the safe is not empty and there are 100 or more bills left, withdrawal is temporarily stopped. On the other hand, banknote A is 100
If the banknote A is removed or the banknote A is removed, the process returns to step 235 and the banknote A is removed (step 230
~265).

Proceeding to step 270, the control unit (not shown) prints the counting results in a journal. After printing, the Ruri controller 97a of the loading box 19 (safe cassette 72) clears (zero) the flag in the EPROM 95 (steps 270 to 275).

When proceeding to process the remaining Chenik, the EE of safe cassette 72
When the number of banknotes is stored in the PROM 95, a residual check of banknotes Δ in the temporary storage section 301a is performed by the residual detection sensor 316, and if the residual detection sensor 316 is bright, the process ends.

On the other hand, if the residual detection sensor 316 is dark, the process proceeds to step 320. (Steps 300-310).

When the process proceeds to step 320, bills are sequentially taken out one by one from the safe cassette 72, for example, the 10,000 yen safe 16. The taken-out banknotes are conveyed via the take-in conveyance path R, and the number of bills is counted by the banknote passage detector 40a. Karan] ~
The banknotes are conveyed to the inspection section 36, the front and back sides of the banknotes are discriminated, and the banknotes are accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation section 37 via the first gate 39a and the third gate 39C. After being accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 37, if the residual detection sensor 316 detects the banknote A, the process returns to step 320, and if it is not detected, the process returns to step 3.
Step 50 (steps 320-34o).

Proceeding to step 350, the control section 92 stops taking out the banknotes A from the 10,000 yen pressure 16 and returns the banknotes A accumulated in the withdrawal time accumulation section 37 to the 10,000 yen pressure 16. After returning the bill A to the 10,000 yen pressure 16, the main control unit 51 stores the number of 10,000 yen bills in the RAM 53 at a predetermined address (steps 350 to 370).
.

Proceeding to the mouthpiece processing, the control section 92 takes out ten thousand yen bills from the ten thousand yen press 16, counts the number of bills using the bill detector 40s, and after the inspection section 36 determines whether the bills have been kept properly, the control section 92 stacks them in one loading warehouse. After the accumulation, the control unit 92 sets the ten thousand yen pressure 16 to an empty state g3.
If so, the banknotes A accumulated in the loading warehouse 19 are transferred to the banknote storage section 23.
Store it in.

On the other hand, if the 10,000 yen press 16 is not empty, up to 100 100,000 yen bills are taken out and stored in one loading storage. After storage, control unit 9
2, if the 10,000 yen pressure 16 is empty state i, proceed to step 440, and if the 10,000 yen pressure 19 is not empty, return to step 400 (
Steps 400-435).

Proceeding to step 440, the crime prevention unit 92 takes out ten thousand yen bills one by one from the loading warehouse 19 using the take-out roller 304d, and causes the bill detector to count the number of bills. After counting, the control unit 92 transports the taken out ten thousand yen note to the inspection unit 36, where the inspection unit 36 determines the type of note, etc. When the inspection is completed, the ten thousand yen bills are accumulated in the ten thousand yen bill storage section 20a with a ten thousand yen pressure of 16 by the conveyance path (steps 440 to 455).

When the above-mentioned loading is performed, the control unit 92 stores the 10,000 yen note in the 10,000 yen press 16 when one loading storage is empty, and S! Filling J Elementary 1st
9 is empty (if you pull it, it will continue loading up to 100 100,000 yen bills. When the loading of 100 bills is completed, the control unit 92 will change the 16,000 yen pressure to 160,000 yen.
Store 10,000 yen notes in. If the loading warehouse 19 becomes empty after storing banknotes in the 10,000 yen press 16, the process proceeds to step 480, and if it does not become empty, loading continues at step 440 (steps 460 to 475).

Proceeding to step 71I80, the control unit 92 reads the number of coins held in the ten thousand yen pressure 16 after the deposit/withdrawal transaction is completed from the EEPROM 95 of the cashier hit 72. The difference between the number of 10,000 yen bills read and the results of tightening of the 10,000 yen pressure 16 and the loading warehouse 19 is calculated, and the calculated difference is the number of bills to be delivered. The main control unit 51 stores the number of 10,000 yen bills and rejects in the RAM 53.
After storing the data in the host computer, it is transmitted to the host computer via the transmission line 11 and the main part 65. (480-490).

When proceeding to replace the safe, the control unit 92 controls the E of the set safe if the safe is pulled out and set in response to a detection signal from the reed switch 78 after stopping the loading operation.
The type and number of stored banknotes are read from the EPROM 95 (steps 500 to 530). When the reading is completed, the control unit 97a reads the stored banknotes from the EEPROM 95.
If the flag of a is zero, the process is terminated, and if the flag is not zero, an error is displayed and a warning is issued (540-550).

When proceeding to extraction from the safe, the control unit 92 stops the operation when a extraction instruction signal is input from the main control unit 51. After the operation is stopped, the control section 92 performs the aforementioned residual check (steps 300-370) and nose plug processing (steps 1400-490) on the hit safe. After the processing is completed, the 1ill t2f12O2 stores the information in the memory (FEPROM 95) of the set safe, and then the safe cassette 72 is removed (the safe cassette 72 is removed from the safe 600).
~650).

When the safe is loaded, the control section 92 stops its operation when a loading instruction signal is input from the main control section 51. When the money luck cassette 72 is installed, the memory of the installed safe (EE
Information such as the number of banknotes stored in the coin is read from the PROM95). When the reading is completed, the control unit 92a
If the flag in EPROM95a is zero, the process ends,
If the flag is 0 or 1, an error will be displayed and a warning will be issued (74
0-750).

As explained above, since the residual check for checking the presence or absence of banknotes such as 10,000 yen bills and the number of rejected bills in each safe cassette 72 can be detected, the banknotes stored in the safe cassettes 72 can be strictly managed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the first storage means for storing the number of coins stored in each of the deposit/withdrawal safe and the loading safe, as well as the number of coins stored in the deposit/withdrawal safe and the loading safe, respectively. Since the second storage means for storing the number of coins stored in the safe is compared with the number of coins stored in the safe, it is difficult to accurately grasp the number of coins stored in the safe. The reliability of the number of coins can be improved.
