The unit 43 including the withdrawal port 6 can be pulled out individually from the front side of the machine body 4 as shown by chain lines in FIG. It is designed so that it can be recovered by pulling it upward from inside 43.

The stackers 12, 13 and bulk storage box]4 include:
A receiving plate 44 that is unfolded horizontally inside and receives banknotes;
45.46 are provided, and this receiving plate 44, 45.4
Each banknote 6 consists of two left and right banknotes, each of which is pivotally supported on the outside of the stacker 12, 13 and the bulk storage box 14 so as to be able to move up and down, and is suspended outside when the banknotes are released in a vertical position. ing. Then, vertical movement and opening/closing operations are performed by a drive mechanism (not shown).

At the upper part of the bulk storage N14, shelf boards 47.47 are provided which enter and exit horizontally from left and right.
When 47 enters, a temporary storage section 48 is formed above it. In the figure, reference numeral 49 denotes a shutter for the bulk storage box 14, which is closed and locked in a safe state when the unit 43 is pulled out. Further, 50 is a banknote guide that guides the upper surface of the banknotes fed into the temporary storage section 48 and deposits them in a stable posture, and 51 is a press arm for pushing the banknotes.

Each receiving plate 44 of the stacker 12, 13 and bulk storage box 14
, 45, 46, as shown in FIG. 8, the base of an abbreviated leaf spring 52 that can come into contact with the stored banknotes is fixed,
The middle part of a sensing lever 53 is supported by a shaft 54 at the middle part of the leaf spring 52. When the leaf spring 52 comes into contact with a banknote, it bends as shown by the solid line in FIG. The optical axis 55 of the photosensor rotates at one end.
It detects when it comes into contact with a banknote by cutting the paper evenly.

When not in contact with a banknote, the sensing lever 53 hangs down due to its own weight and is at a position where it does not cut the optical axis 55.

Further, a banknote guide 56 is provided at the upper part of the stacker 12, 13, and when the banknote guide 56 comes into contact with a banknote and is pushed upward, a switch 57 is activated at the tip thereof.

In the above configuration, the route from the deposit slot 5 to the discrimination section 20, return lower, -time storage section 48, and bulk storage box 14 constitutes the deposit processing route referred to in the present invention. Mechanisms 28, 29, auxiliary discrimination section 36,
The route leading to the reject box 39 and the withdrawal port 6 constitutes the same withdrawal processing route, and further includes the bulk storage box 14 and the discrimination section 2.
0, the stacker 12, 13, and the route to the bulk storage box 14 constitute the replenishment processing route, and the denomination-specific stacker 12
．． The route from 13 to the bulk storage box 14 constitutes the collection processing route.

Next, each operation at the time of depositing, dispensing, replenishing, and collecting banknotes will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

1) At the time of deposit (thick line route in Fig. 5 (A)), the banknotes deposited into the deposit slot 5 are transferred to Teller's Machine 3.3 or Machine 4.
When the deposit button provided in the banknote is operated, the loading mechanism 18 operates based on the deposit command and deposits banknotes one by one.

The loaded banknotes are discriminated by a discrimination section 20 while being conveyed through the conveyance path 19, and the banknotes that are determined as non-depositable are returned to the return lower via the conveyance path 21, while the banknotes are determined as being depositable. Banknotes are stored in the temporary storage section 4 of the bulk storage box 14.
All denominations are temporarily reserved within 8 (Figure 7 (A)
). Note that the banknotes returned to the return loa are processed by the teller to be re-deposited.

When the teller approves the deposit and presses the approval button, the shelf boards 47 and 47 of the -hour holding section 48 are moved to the outside and become open (Fig. 7 (B)), and the temporary storage unit 47, which was placed on it, moves to the outside and becomes open. The reserved banknotes are collectively stored in the bulk storage box 14. At this time, it is pushed in by the suppression arm 51. The receiving plate 46 of the bulk storage box 14 is waiting at a position where a predetermined number of banknotes can be received, and temporarily reserved banknotes are received thereon. If the deposit is not approved, the unit 43 is pulled out, the temporary storage section 48 is pulled out of the machine body 4, and the banknotes in the pulled out temporary storage section 48 can be taken out from above.

2) At the time of withdrawal (lower bold line route in Figure 5 (B)), the stacker 12 receives the withdrawal command from the tellers machines 3, 3
．． 13, 10,000 yen bills, 5,000 yen bills, and 5,000 yen bills are fed one by one from the bulk storage box 14 by the feeding mechanisms 28, 29, 35, and are discriminated while being conveyed through the conveyance path 30. The banknote length, stacking of two sheets, skew, etc. are discriminated by the section 36, and the banknotes that are determined to be able to be withdrawn are transferred to the withdrawal time storage section 38 between the press plate 37 of the withdrawal port 6. The banknotes that are stored and identified as non-dispensable are collected into the reject box 39 by switching the switching member 40.

When the specified amount of banknotes is stored in the withdrawal-time storage unit 38, the system is ready to withdraw money, and when the teller who issued the withdrawal instruction presses the withdrawal button 9, the withdrawal port 6 is opened. banknotes for withdrawal. The operation of the shelf boards and the like in the stackers 12 and 13 for each denomination at the time of withdrawal will be described later.

3) When replenishing (thick line route in Figure 5 (C)) Stacker 1
2. If the amount of banknotes stored in 13 is below the specified amount,
Alternatively, when the amount of storage in the bulk storage box 14 exceeds a predetermined amount, the teller is notified of the need for replenishment through a display or the like. Then, by operating the teller's replenishment button, the replenishment operation begins.

At the time of a replenishment command, the banknotes on the receiving plate 46 of the bulk storage box 14 are first stored inside the bulk storage box 14 by opening the receiving plate 46. At the same time, the receiving plate 44 of the stacker 12.13.
If there are banknotes on the stacker 45, they are stored under the stacker 12.degree. 130 by opening the receiving plate 44.45. Then, the receiving plates 44 and 45 rise to the highest position, and are then closed to wait for further storage.

Thereafter, the bills are dispensed one by one from the dispensing opening 14B of the bulk storage box 14 by the dispensing mechanism 35.

At this time, the receiving plate 46 is open until a certain period of time, and when the amount of banknotes in the bulk storage box 14 falls below a certain amount, it is closed and functions as a banknote weigher.

The banknotes fed out from the bulk storage box 14 are transferred to the conveyance path 3OA.
While passing through the auxiliary discrimination section 36, the bills are discriminated by the auxiliary discriminating section 36, and the bills that are discriminated as invalid are put into three eject boxes, and the proper bills pass through the withdrawal-time holding section 30C and pass through the discriminating section 20. When passing, the denomination is determined and based on the result of denomination discrimination, if it is a 10,000 yen note, it is sent to the stacker 12, if it is a 1,000 yen note, it is sent to the stacker 13, and if it is a 5,000 yen note, it is sent to the bulk storage box 14.
They are sorted and stored in the temporary storage section 48 respectively.

During this replenishment, the receiving plate 44.45 in the stacker 12.13
When the amount of banknotes stored above and inside reaches a predetermined number, the feeding from the bulk storage box 14 is temporarily stopped, and the banknotes on the receiving plates 44 and 45 of the stacker 12-13 are dropped into the inside. and then replenishment will begin again. Further, when the - time storage section 48 becomes full (for example, 200 bills), the feeding from the bulk storage box 14 is temporarily stopped, the shelf board 47 is opened, and the banknotes in the temporary storage section 48 are transferred onto the receiving plate 46. is dropped, and the feeding of banknotes from the bulk storage box 14 is started again.

The replenishment operation continues until all the banknotes dropped below the shelves 47, 47 of the bulk storage box 14 at the start of the replenishment operation are fed out.

At this time, if either one or both stackers are full of banknotes, the banknotes that should be sent to the full stacker are not sent to the stacker and remain in the temporary storage section 48 of the bulk storage box 14. sent to.

In other words, even if the banknotes in both stackers 12 and 13 are full, if there are banknotes remaining below the shelves 47 and 47 in the bulk storage box 14, all of them are fed out, and these fed out banknotes go through the banknote replenishment route. After going around the bulk storage box 14 and being sent to the temporary storage section 48 above the bulk storage box 14, it is returned to the bulk storage box 14.

This is to make it possible to withdraw 5,000 yen notes from the bulk storage box 14, and when -jLJ replenishment is performed, unfit notes etc. are also returned to the bulk storage box 14, so it must be set at least at the beginning of work. This is to enable withdrawal of 5,000 yen notes.

On the other hand, if it becomes necessary to withdraw or deposit money during the replenishment operation, the replenishment operation is interrupted by operating an instruction button that instructs to interrupt the ha replenishment operation. You can then make withdrawals or deposits. In this case, it is not possible to withdraw 5,000 yen notes.

After this withdrawal or deposit is completed, the replenishment operation is performed again by operating the replenishment button again.

Furthermore, if the 5,000 yen note is not to be withdrawn after the replenishment operation, the replenishment operation may be ended when one or both of the stackers becomes full.

By the way, during the replenishment operation, the temporary storage section 4 of the bulk storage box 14
There are two types of banknotes sent to 8:

■ When the front and back sides are reversed: Banknotes, 5,000 yen bills, and unfit bills that have been identified as reverse by the discrimination section 20.

■ When not flipping the front and back sides 5,000 yen note, unfit note.

To explain the case where the banknotes are stored in the stackers 12 and 13 with their front and back sides aligned, the banknotes that are fed out from the bulk storage box 14 and verified by the first verification section are stored in the stackers 12 and 12 as described above based on the verification results. 13 or the temporary holding section 48 of the bulk storage box 14, respectively.

In other words, the 10,000 yen table is sent to the stacker 12, and the stacker 13
Items identified as 1,000 yen clothes will be transported to the facility. All other banknotes are sent to the temporary storage section 48.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 7, the conveyance path of the banknotes conveyed to this - time storage section 48 is the side (A ) from the same side (A) to the opposite side (B).

Therefore, when the bulk storage box 14 is fed out by the feeding means 35, the temporary storage section 48 is turned upside down.
will be sent to. Then, when the banknotes here are fed out next time and reach the discrimination section, the banknotes that were previously identified as backs of 10,000 yen will be identified as fronts of 10,000 yen since the front and back sides have changed when the banknotes are fed out this time. Based on this discrimination result, the paper is sent to the stacker 12.

By repeating the replenishment operation in this way, even if the banknotes are placed in the bulk storage box 48 either front or back at the time of deposit, they can be stored in the stacker 12, 13 with either front or back side arranged.

3) At the time of collection (at the end of business) (thick line route in Fig. 5 (D)) The banknotes in the stacker 12 and 13 are fed out by the feeding mechanism 28 and 29, and are sent to the bulk storage box via the payment processing route and the deposit processing route. 14 and stored there. At the time of collection, the shelf boards 47 of the - hour storage section 48 hold a predetermined number of sheets (for example, 10
It is closed until 0 pieces are inserted, and then it is opened and kept in that state.

Next, pull out the unit 43 from the fuselage 4 and place it in the bulk storage box 1.
4 is pulled out and sent to storage etc. At this time, the cut box 39 is also taken out and sent all together to the storage.

6A to 6F show the movement of banknotes when replenishing the stacker 12.13, and for convenience, the case of the stacker 13 is shown as an example.

In FIG. 6(A), the receiving plate 44 is placed in the raised position and is ready to accept banknotes. When the banknotes are fed in and reach a certain amount, the banknote guide 56 is gradually pushed up, and when a predetermined number of banknotes is reached, the switch 57 is actuated at the tip of the banknote guide 56 (Fig. 6(B).
)), the receiving plate 44 is lowered. By repeating this, banknotes are deposited on top of it. When the receiving plate 44 reaches its lower limit (FIG. 6(C)), the receiving plate 44 is opened and the receiving plate 44 reaches its lower limit (FIG. 6(A)).
) and closes, returning to the receiving position (6th position).
Figures (D) to (E)). Thereafter, in the same manner as above, the receiving plate 44
A banknote is received upward and then lowered, and when the sensing lever 53 is rotated in contact with the banknote inside, it is detected that the banknote is full and feeding is stopped (FIG. 6(F)).

When dispensing money, the money is paid out sequentially from the state shown in FIG. 6(F). In this case, as the amount of banknotes decreases due to feeding,
When the receiving plate is lowered and there are no more banknotes on the side of the receiving plate as shown in Fig. 6 (G), or when the number of banknotes below the receiving plate is less than a predetermined amount, the receiving plate is temporarily raised to the open position. , the receiving plate is opened (Fig. 6 (C)), and then the receiving plate is raised, and then the receiving plate is closed and moved downward again to press the banknote (Fig. 6 (H)), and the feeding operation is performed. will be carried out. When a certain amount of banknotes is reached, the next replenishment becomes necessary.

FIGS. 7(A) to 7(F) show the movement status of banknotes in the bulk storage box 14, and FIG. 7(A) shows the state of movement of banknotes in the bulk storage box 14.

(B), (C), (D), and (E) are taken into the interior in this order. In (A), there are only 5,000 yen bills at the bottom of the receiving plate 46, and there are mixed bills on the shelf board 47. The mixed banknotes are taken in one by one by lowering the receiving plate 46. When the receiving plate 46 is lowered, the shelf plate 47 closes to form a temporary storage section 48, which is successively repeated thereafter until it becomes full as shown in FIG. 7(E).

When replenishing the stacker 12.13 from the bulk storage box 14, the receiving plate rises a predetermined amount from the state shown in Fig. 7(E) and is opened (-dotted chain line in Fig. 7(E)), Bills are dropped downwards. Then, a lump sum is withdrawn from the safe for replenishment. At the same time, the receiving plate rises to above the bulk storage box 14 in the open state (dashed line in FIG. 7(F)), and when the feeding progresses to a certain extent, the receiving plate is closed and serves as a pressing plate for banknotes. Continue to press.

When a certain number of banknotes have been fed into the stacker, the feeding from the bulk storage box 14 is temporarily stopped, and the feeding is resumed after waiting until the predetermined processing is performed by the operation of the shelves in the stacker. is started.

Further, when the temporary storage section 48 of the bulk storage box 14 becomes full, feeding from the bulk storage box 14 is stopped and the receiving plate is raised. Thereafter, the banknotes in the temporary holding section 48 are stored on the receiving plate in the same manner as when joining. When this process is finished, the receiving plate descends again,
It functions as a pressing member and is fed out again for replenishment.

Then, when all the banknotes below the shelf board have been fed out, the banknotes in the temporary holding section 48 are dropped onto the receiving plate in the same way as before.

After that, the receiving plate descends to the lower open position, opens here and drops the banknotes to the feeding section, and in this state, the receiving plate is raised to the highest position and closes, allowing subsequent deposits and withdrawals. Wait for the money.

In addition, FIG. 9 shows the control system by the Teller's Machine 3.3, and the control device 60 has a deposit control section 61, a withdrawal control section 62, a replenishment control section 63, a collection control section 64, and a communication control section 65. The main control unit 6
6, drive control of each drive section 67 is performed, and the control section 6
0 also has a storage section 68 and six operation sections.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, if there are stackers for the number of denominations to be processed and a bulk storage box, incoming banknotes can be circulated and used for dispensing banknotes, and the storage box installed in the processing device Since the number of parts installed is reduced, the device can be configured to be significantly smaller. Furthermore, since the number of storage units installed is small, the conveyance path between them can be shortened, and the structure can be simplified accordingly, resulting in various effects such as making it possible to significantly reduce costs.
