Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the flow of the banknote loading (replenishment) operation will be described.

For example, in a state where banknotes P for loading are set in the loading warehouse 3, when a banknote loading mote is selected by an attendant, the loading operation of banknotes P is started.

That is, the banknotes P are taken out one by one by the take-out roller 67a of the loading warehouse 3, and the second sorting is done by the third gate 73b1.
The fifth distribution is conveyed through the gate 73e and guided to the inspection section 70, where the denomination etc. are discriminated. The banknotes P that have been verified by the verification unit 70 are transported downward through the gate 73a for the first distribution, and further transported to the gate 73 for the 11th distribution and to the gate 73 for the sixth distribution.
Sent via f. In this case, the 7th distribution of 1,000 yen notes is changed direction at the gate 73g and is transferred to the stacking section 6 of the 1,000 yen store 58.
6b, the seventh sort of ten thousand yen notes are conveyed through the gate 73g, the eighth sort is changed direction at the gate 73h, and is accumulated in the ten thousand yen warehouse 57 in the accumulation part 66, and each The banknotes are pushed into the banknote storage sections 59 and 60.

Moreover, the banknotes P that are judged to be rejected by the inspection unit 70 at the time of loading are sorted upward at the gate 73a for the first sorting, gate 73b1 for the second sorting, and gate 73C for the third sorting. The money is accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 37 through the withdrawal process. At this time, the second sorting ticket taken out by the loading warehouse 3 is the ticket (loaded ticket) that has passed through the gate 73b, and the direct ticket is the second sorting ticket.
The third distribution overlaps in the transport path R4 between the gate 73b and the third distribution gate 73c. For this reason, when a rejected ticket is generated, there is a method of immediately interrupting the extraction and restarting the extraction after the rejected ticket has passed through the conveyance path R4, or a method of stacking the extracted ticket (loaded ticket) with the rejected ticket. A method is adopted in which the rejected tickets and the overlapping loaded tickets are transported together in the ratio-to-time accumulation section 37.

Then, when the banknotes P in the loading warehouse 3 run out, the loading operation is ended.

On the other hand, when a rejected ticket is generated, as shown in FIG. After being discriminated at 70, the denomination-identified notes are first distributed to the lower unit 5 by gate 73g.
1 and stored in safes 57 and 58 for each denomination.

In addition, tickets that are rejected again will be distributed to Gate 7 for the first time.
3a, the direction of the distribution of M2 is changed by the gate 73b, and the M2 is stored in the loading warehouse 3.

In the above embodiment, in the loading operation, the banknotes P are loaded only from the loading box 3, but it is also possible to load the banknotes by setting them in the banknote storage section 62 of the deposit box 61.

Next, the flow of banknotes during the inspection operation will be explained based on FIG. 14.

That is, the banknotes P taken out from the ten thousand yen storage 57 or the one thousand yen storage 58 are conveyed to the upper unit 50, are discriminated by the inspection section 70, and are divided into the gate 73a for the first distribution and the gate 73b for the second distribution. The direction is changed and stored in the loading warehouse 3.

In the above-mentioned inspection section 70, when a pasted ticket ticket that cannot be discriminated occurs, the first sort is conveyed downward by the gate 73a, the eleventh sort is sent to the gate 73, and the sixth sort is sent to the gate 73f1. The 9th distribution is gate 73i, the 10th
The allocation is made to the collection section 63 of the deposit box 61 via the gate 73j.

Then, the main control unit 31 determines the number of stored coins of the corresponding denomination as RA.
Read from M39 and compare with the appropriate cash balance. As a result of this comparison, if the cash balance is insufficient, it is determined whether to load the insufficient amount, and a loading instruction for the insufficient amount is output to the control section 92. As a result, the banknotes P stored in the loading warehouse 3 are placed in the first
, or loaded into the second safe 57, 58, and the loading process as described above is performed. When the insufficient amount is replenished by this loading process, the main control section 31 outputs the completion of loading to the control section 92, and also outputs the machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the number of stored coins for each denomination.

As a result, the control unit 92 updates the stored denomination type and number of coins stored in the loading warehouse 3 stored in the data memory 93 according to the loading contents, and also updates the machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the denomination type. The number of stored sheets is stored in the data memory 93.

Further, when the main control unit 31 compares the number of stored bills read from the RAM 39 and the appropriate cash balance and determines that there is a shortage of cash balance, it is determined that the banknotes P corresponding to the shortage amount are not stored in the loading warehouse 3. If it is determined, the loading process is not performed, and an instruction that there is a shortage of banknotes P for loading and the replenishment amount are output to the control unit 92. As a result, the control unit 92 stores the instruction of the shortage of supplied banknotes P and the replenishment amount in the data memory 93.
At the same time, the display unit 91 displays replenishment instructions.

Then, when the loading warehouse 3 is set in the bill sorting machine 2 and the control section 110 of the bill sorting machine 2 is connected to the control section 92 inside the loading warehouse 3, the control section 92 sends the banknotes for loading to the control section 110. The instruction of P shortage and the replenishment amount are output. The control unit 110 uses the display unit 115 to guide the insertion of a predetermined amount of banknotes P to the hopper 104 for replenishment. The banknotes P thrown into the hopper 104 in accordance with this guidance are stored in the loading warehouse 3. Thereby, the control unit 92 updates the denomination and number of banknotes P stored in the loading warehouse 3 stored in the data memory 93, and provides guidance on setting them into the deposit/withdrawal device 1a on the display unit 91.

In response to this guidance, the loading storage 3 is set in the deposit/withdrawal device 1a. Thereby, loading processing from the loading warehouse 3 to the first or second safe 57, 58 is performed, and cash is replenished. When the insufficient amount is replenished by this loading process, the main control section 31 outputs the completion of loading to the control section 92, and also outputs the machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the number of stored coins for each denomination. As a result, the control unit 92 updates the stored denomination type and number of coins stored in the loading storage 3 stored in the data memory 93 to match the loading contents described above, and also updates the machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the amount of coins stored in the loading storage 3. The number of stored sheets of each type is stored in the data memory 93.

Further, the loading operation of the loading warehouse 3 in the other cash machine 1b is performed in the same manner as described above.

In addition, when the loading warehouse 3 is set to the deposit/withdrawal device 1a, if the amount stored in the deposit/withdrawal device 1a is in excess of the appropriate cash balance, the excess amount will be examined and the first or second A scrutiny process is performed in which the excess banknotes P stored in the safes 57 and 58 are sequentially taken out and conveyed to the loading warehouse 3.

When the excessive amount of money has been examined through this examination process, the main control unit 31 outputs the completion of examination to the control unit 92, and
Outputs the aircraft number, the cash balance in each safe, and the number of coins stored by denomination. As a result, the control unit 92 updates the stored denomination type and number of coins stored in the loading locker 3 stored in the data memory 93 according to the above-mentioned details, and also updates the machine number, the cash balance in each safe, and the denomination type. The number of sheets stored in the data memory 9
Store in 3.

In addition, the inspection operation of the other depositing and dispensing devices 1b, . . . by the loading warehouse 3 is performed in the same manner as described above.

Then, when the loading warehouse 3 is set in the bill sorting machine 2 again and the control section 110 of the bill sorting machine 2 and the control section 92 inside the loading warehouse 3 are connected, the data is stored in the data memory 93 by the control section 92. Deposit/withdrawal device 1 a s...
The machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the number of coins stored by denomination are read out and output to the control unit 110. Thereby, the control unit 110 stores in the data memory 111 the cash balance of each safe and the number of coins stored by denomination for the supplied deposit/withdrawal device 1a, and totals them.

In addition, the excess banknotes P loaded in the loading warehouse 3 in the deposit/withdrawal device 1a, .
You may also replenish the amount.

As mentioned above, cash in stores such as banks can be replenished without the staff touching the cash directly, and at the same time, cash balances in each deposit/withdrawal device and loading cabinet can be tallied by a banknote sorting machine through the loading cabinet. You can easily build a cash management system.

In other words, by having the loading safe manage the cash balance in each device and also acting as an information interface, all you have to do is load the safe into each device.
You can also send information to the banknote sorting machine.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, in a system consisting of a plurality of automatic transaction devices and a banknote sorting machine, loading and unloading of banknotes to and from the automatic transaction device, and loading and unloading banknotes to the banknote sorting machine are easy. It uses a loading warehouse for loading and unloading banknotes, and can provide a cash management system that can manage the cash balances of each device and collectively manage them.
