[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of cash processing device,
As shown in FIG. 5, when depositing money at the deposit/withdrawal port, when the banknote 22 is inserted into the deposit area 25 when the shutter 1 is opened by the rotation of the shutter roller 3, the banknote 22
is pressed against the pusher roller 12 by the pressing plate 24, and the banknotes 22 are continuously conveyed one by one along the conveyance guide 17 by the pusher roller 12, picker roller 13, one-way roller 14, and feed rollers 15, 16 inside the device. It is fed out onto a road (not shown). The banknotes 22 fed out onto the conveyance path are scanned by a verification section (not shown).

[0003] When the bill 22 is recognized as correct by the discrimination section, the bill 22 is stored in a safe (not shown). Further, when the bill 22 is recognized as incorrect by the discrimination section, the bill 22 is conveyed from inside the device along the stacking guide 20 and stacked in the stacking area 26 by the sweeper 18 and the stacking roller 19. Thereafter, the banknotes 22 are block-transported to the deposit area 25 by the block transport section 27 and returned to the user from the deposit area 25, or are pressed against the pusher roller 12 again by the press plate 24, and the banknotes 22 are pressed against the pusher roller 12 and the picker roller 13 again. and one-way roller 14
and the feed rollers 15 and 16, the conveyance guide 17
The sheets are continuously fed out one by one onto a conveyance path inside the device along the path. The banknotes 22 fed onto this conveyance path are scanned again by the discrimination section. At this time, the shutter 1 is brought into contact with the housing 23 by the rotation of the shutter roller 3, and is in a closed state.

[0004]Furthermore, when a withdrawal is made at the deposit/withdrawal port,
Banknotes 22 are conveyed from inside the device along the accumulation guide 20 and accumulated in the accumulation area 26 by the sweeper 18 and the accumulation roller 19, and are block conveyed to the deposit area 25 by the block conveyance section 27. Thereafter, the shutter 1 is opened by the rotation of the shutter roller 3, and the banknotes 22 are passed from the deposit area 25 to the user.

The banknotes 22 that have been forgotten by the user are pressed against the pusher roller 12 by the pressing plate 24,
The pusher roller 12, the picker roller 13, the one-way roller 14, and the feed rollers 15 and 16 continuously feed out one sheet at a time along the conveyance guide 17 onto the conveyance path inside the apparatus. Banknotes 2 fed onto the conveyance path inside the device
2 is stored in a forgotten storage box (not shown).

[0006] In such a conventional cash processing device, when the banknotes 22 in the deposit area 25 are continuously fed out one by one onto the conveyance path inside the device, the banknote 22 is recognized as an error by the discrimination section. Then, it is necessary to stack the banknotes 22 in order to have them scanned again by the discrimination section. Therefore, since a collection area 26 for collecting banknotes 22 recognized as errors was provided separately from the deposit area 25, the capacity of the deposit/withdrawal port accounts for a large proportion of the capacity of the device. This was an obstacle to miniaturizing the device.

[0007]

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the dispensing operation of one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the rotational motion of the rotary 11 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the dispensing operation of one embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows operation|movement. The operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained using FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, when a deposit operation is performed, the shutter roller 3 is moved in accordance with a deposit command from a host device (not shown).
As the shutter 1 rotates, the shutter 1 opens, and at the same time, the customer service guide 4 rises between the housing 23 and the grip plate 7. Further, the press plate 5 moves toward the grip plate 6, and a deposit area is formed between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 7. In this state, the user inserts the banknotes 22 into the deposit area on the table 21 (see FIG. 1).

When the banknotes 22 are inserted into the deposit area, the shutter 1 is closed by the rotation of the shutter roller 3, and the feeding section starts feeding out the banknotes 22. When the banknotes 22 are fed out, the gripping plates 6 and 7 move in the same direction as the pressing plate 5. In particular, the gripping plate 7 moves rearward from the feeding surface of the pusher roller 12 and functions as a feeding guide when the pusher roller 12, picker roller 13, and one-way roller 14 feed out the banknote 22. At this time, the space between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 6 becomes an accumulation area for accumulating banknotes 22.

The banknotes 22 dispensed by the dispensing section are conveyed to a discriminating section (not shown) and scanned by the discriminating section. As a result, the banknotes 22 recognized as correct by the discrimination section are stored in a safe (not shown). Further, banknotes 22 that have been recognized as incorrect by the discrimination section are conveyed along the accumulation guide 20 to be scanned again by the discrimination section or returned to the outside of the apparatus, and are gripped by the pressure plate 5 by the sweeper 18 and the accumulation roller 19. It is accumulated in the accumulation area formed between the plate 6 (see FIG. 2).

Feeding of the banknote 22 between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 7, and the press plate 5 of the banknote 22 recognized as incorrect by the discrimination section
When the stacking in the stacking area between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 6 is completed, the banknotes 22 are gripped between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 6. In this state, the rotary 11 is rotated by 180 degrees in the direction of arrow A by the rotational drive of the rotary drive motor 10, and the grip plate 6 is moved toward the pusher roller 12 (see FIG. 3).

When the banknote 22 that has been recognized as an error by the recognition unit is scanned again by the recognition unit, the above-mentioned feeding operation is performed using the grip plate 6 as a feeding guide, and the banknote 22 is scanned again by the recognition unit. It will be done. In addition, when returning banknotes 22 that have been recognized as incorrect by the discrimination section to the outside of the device, the press plate 5 is moved to the side of the grip plate 7 that has been moved by the 180° rotation of the rotary 11, and then the shutter roller 3 is moved. The shutter 1 is opened by rotation, and banknotes 22 from outside the device are removed.
be in a state where it can be taken out.

Next, when a withdrawal operation is performed, the pressing plate 5
moves toward the grip plate 6, and an accumulation area is formed between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 7. In this state, the banknotes 22 that have been dispensed from the safe and recognized as correct by the verification section are placed in the stacking guide 2.
0, the sweeper 18 and the collecting roller 1
9 to accumulate them in an accumulation area formed between the press plate 5 and the grip plate 7 (see FIG. 4).

When the banknotes 22 are stacked in the stacking area, the shutter 1 is opened by the rotation of the shutter roller 3, making it possible to take out the banknotes 22 from outside the apparatus. If the banknotes 22 are not taken out from the stacking area even after a predetermined period of time has passed since the banknotes 22 were stacked in the stacking area,
In the same way as the above-mentioned feeding operation, the banknotes 22 are continuously fed out one by one onto the conveyance path in the device, and the banknotes 22 are fed out one by one into the forgotten storage box (
(not shown).

[0021] In this way, when the banknotes 22 inserted into the deposit/withdrawal slot from outside the device are pressed against the pusher roller 12 by the pressing plate 5 and fed into the device one by one, the verification section recognizes the banknotes as an error. By stacking the banknotes 22 by the sweeper 18 and the collection roller 19 on the back side of the surface of the press plate 5 that presses the banknotes 22 against the pusher roller 12, the deposit area and the collection area can be used in common. . Therefore, the stacking area 26 in which banknotes are stacked in the conventional system shown in FIG. 5 is no longer necessary, so the capacity of the deposit/withdrawal port can be reduced and the device can be made more compact.

[0022]

As explained above, according to the present invention, when bills inserted into the deposit/withdrawal port from outside the device are pressed against the feeding roller by the press plate and fed into the device one by one, Banknotes that cannot be identified by the internal identification means,
