 The present invention relates to a bill processing apparatus that enables both deposit and withdrawal of bills.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the case of a banknote handling device that can process both deposit and withdrawal of banknotes, the paper to be handled includes the deposited banknotes inserted by the user, the dispensed banknotes paid out to the user, and the Although it was inserted, it is a banknote other than the handled banknotes, and it is a reject reject paper that is returned to the user because it is severely damaged and indistinguishable, and it is ejected as a withdrawal banknote and is withdrawn to the user. There are four types: uncollected banknotes that have been forgotten.

In order to deal with these banknotes, in the conventional banknote processing apparatus, a banknote receiving slot for receiving a banknote deposited by a user, a banknote dispensing slot for ejecting a dispensed banknote, and a deposit for returning a reject reject banknote. Rejected banknote return ports are provided at different positions. In addition, there is a deposit transport path for transporting deposited banknotes from the banknote deposit opening to the inside of the main body of the device, and a dispenser transport path for sending out dispensed banknotes to the banknote dispensing port and forgotten banknotes inside the mainframe of the device again. And a return / conveyance path for sending out the rejected banknotes.

In operation, when the user inserts a bill into the bill deposit port, the bill is conveyed to the bill discriminating unit in the main body of the apparatus through the deposit conveying path, and the bill judged to be normal by the discriminating unit is In the next process, bills other than the handled bills and unidentifiable bills are conveyed by the return transport path and sent to the deposit reject bill return port.

In the case of withdrawal, banknotes are delivered from the banknote storage unit (safe box) in the main body of the apparatus and delivered to the banknote outlet through the withdrawal transfer path. If the dispensed banknotes are not removed within a predetermined time, it is determined that they have been forgotten, and they are collected in the main body of the device through the collection and conveyance path.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described conventional banknote handling apparatus, the banknote deposit port, the banknote dispensing port, and the deposit reject banknote return port are provided at different positions, which may be confusing when the user inserts the paper money. In addition, even though the dispensed banknotes have been dispensed to the banknote outlet, the user looks at only the banknote deposit port and assumes that the banknote will not be dispensed, or the deposit rejected when the deposit is rejected. There is a risk of troubles such as not being aware of the banknotes and thinking that all the banknotes that have been inserted have been accepted. Further, since a transport path for inserting and ejecting banknotes is provided in association with each port, there is a problem that the number is large, the configuration is complicated, and the cost is high.

In view of this, the present invention has a common depositing position, dispensing position, and deposit-rejecting bill return position for bills, which eliminates the occurrence of troubles during handling, and is related to the transport of bills. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a banknote handling apparatus that can significantly reduce the number of transport paths installed, simplify the structure, and reduce costs.

At this time, the deposit reject banknote receiving unit 77 does not move, is located above the banknote outlet 8, and receives the deposit reject banknote P ₂ from the second banknote transport path 16. The deposited reject banknote P ₂ returned at this time is moved to the front reject plate 79 side by the blades 51, 51, ... (FIG. 12).

When the feeding of the inserted banknote P ₁ is completed, the banknote support member 58, the banknote restraining member 62, and the bottom plate 67 return to the standby position, and the user here receives the deposit reject banknote P ₂ from the banknote receiving space section 5. Pull out.

At the time of withdrawal, since the banknote support member 58 is positioned immediately before the banknote dispensing opening 8 and the banknote holding member 62 is located immediately after the banknote dispensing opening 8, the deposit reject paper money receiving portion 77. Is located at the rearmost part of the bill receiving space 5. Then, the ejected banknotes are sent out between the banknote support member 58 and the banknote restraining member 62, and are moved to the banknote support member 58 side by the blades 51, 51, .... The user withdraws the bills thus sent out (Fig. 13).

If the thrown banknotes are not removed within the predetermined time, it is determined that the banknotes have been forgotten, and the banknotes are taken into the machine by the same operation as that of the taken-in banknotes (FIG. 11).

It should be noted that the moving means such as the banknote supporting member 58, the banknote holding member 62, the deposit reject banknote receiving portion 77 and the like are not limited to the illustrated embodiments, but are within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
