In other words, 2 or 5
In some cases, the withdrawal amount may be withdrawn, and the withdrawal amount is subtracted from the amount of banknotes stored in each safe as a result of being accurately counted by the discriminating unit 17, and the amount of banknotes that may be currently stored in the safe. The amount cannot be analogized.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional ATM, as shown in FIG. 8, a detector for detecting the accommodation amount state in the safe, such as a banknote empty 35, a banknote near empty 36 or a banknote full 37, a banknote near full 38, is provided for each withdrawal safe. Be prepared,
For example, if the withdrawal banknotes run out during the withdrawal operation and the withdrawal process cannot be performed, the bill near empty 3
It is detected in advance in 6 and prompts the operator to replenish bills in advance, or in the middle of depositing, the deposit near the safe capacity limit is detected by the bill near full 38, and the deposit operation is stopped in the transaction, and the operation is started. It was configured to require the maintenance of an attendant before it caused any trouble.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, according to the conventional technique having the above-described configuration, the following problems occur.

That is, the above-mentioned detector detects the height of the securities that are accumulated and stored in the storage unit as a means for detecting the state of the securities. The detector is arranged in each storage unit and is sent to the control unit by an electric signal. It is supposed to send information.

However, it is necessary for a clerk or the like to insert and remove the bills when the bills are replenished and collected in the storage unit.
There is a problem that the reliability of the detection function of the detector is deteriorated by repeating such an operation.

In addition, it is necessary to consider the disconnection point of the signal in response to the attachment / detachment operation of the storage section, which imposes restrictions on the structure of the storage section, complicates the attachment / detachment operation, and deteriorates the operability during maintenance. there were.

Further, in order to detect the thickness of the stacked banknotes, for example, in the case of 500 stacked banknotes, there is a problem that there is an error of about 100 banknotes depending on the state of the banknote such as the folded state of the banknote.

In view of the above problems, the present invention solves the problem of mechanically detecting the remaining amount of securities in the storage unit, and obtains a storage amount detection means that is not related to the attachment / detachment operation, and improves operability during maintenance. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a securities handling device that has good security and a highly reliable detection function.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention detects the remaining amount of securities in the storage unit by the calculation of the control unit.

That is, the present invention provides a taking-in unit for taking in securities into the device, a feeding-out unit for feeding out the securities put into the taking-up unit one by one, and a discrimination for discriminating the securities fed out by the feeding-out means. Section, a storage section for storing securities that have been determined to be admitted by the discriminating section, a storage section for storing securities for issuing tickets, and one securities from the storage section for the securities for issuing tickets. It has a feeding unit that feeds each one, a discharging unit that discharges the fed securities from the device, an input operation unit for the operator to input, and a control unit that controls the operation of each of these mechanisms.

You can always grasp.

〔Example〕

 Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic side view showing an embodiment of the present invention, which is a banknote deposit / withdrawal mechanism of ATM which is one of the securities handling devices.

It should be noted that the mechanism other than the multi-feed sheet number detection unit described below is the eighth mechanism.
Since the mechanism is the same as that described with reference to the drawings, the description thereof will be omitted and the reference numerals will be used as they are.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 39 denotes a double feed number detection unit arranged in the downstream of the suction drums 16, 30, 31. The double feed number detection unit 39 detects currency bills as data for calculating the double feed number. The thickness is detected.

In the present embodiment, a circuit for calculating the number of double-fed sheets based on the detection data is provided in the control unit described later.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the multi-feed sheet number detecting section 39. Reference numeral 40 is a reference roller rotatably supported by a fixedly installed shaft 40a, and 41 is a movable type roller facing the reference roller 40. A detection roller 42 is a detection lever that pivotally supports the detection roller 41 and is pivotally supported by a shaft 42a that is fixedly installed. The detection lever 42 supports the detection roller 41 by a spring (not shown). It is being depressed in the direction of pressing.

43 is a magnetically permeable detection piece fixed to a part of the detection lever 42,
Reference numeral 44 denotes a magnetoresistive element which is arranged to face the magnetic permeability detecting piece 43 with a small distance therebetween and which is arranged to convert a change in magnetic field into a change in resistance value.

The detecting operation is as follows.

First, the bills P that have been separated and sent pass between the rotating reference roller 40 and the detection roller 41 so as to be sandwiched as indicated by an arrow.

At this time, the detection roller 41 moves upward due to its thickness.
It swings around a as a fulcrum. Thereby, the magnetic permeability detection piece 43
Also oscillates, and the fluctuation is detected by the magnetoresistive element 44 as a change in voltage.

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing the circuit configuration of the double-feeding sheet number detecting section 39 having the above configuration.

In the figure, reference numeral 45 is an amplifier circuit for amplifying the voltage output from the magnetoresistive element 44, and 46 is an A / D conversion circuit. The A / D conversion circuit outputs the amplified output signal of the magnetoresistive element 44, that is, an analog signal. Convert to digital signal.

A control circuit 47 determines the thickness of the banknote P by comparing and comparing respective detection levels by the magnetoresistive element 44 in the case where there is a banknote at the detection position and when there is a banknote.

A storage circuit 48 stores the detection level of the magnetic resistance element 44 when the bill P is not at the detection position, that is, a digital signal. A passage detection sensor 49 is arranged in front of the detection position to detect the passage state of the banknote P.

FIG. 4 is a graph showing the output characteristics of the magnetoresistive element 44.

As can be seen from the graph, the output voltage of the magnetic resistance element 44 is directly proportional to the distance between the magnetic permeability detection piece 43 and the magnetic resistance element 44. Also, the outputs a, b, c, o of the magnetoresistive element 44
Are a: 2 banknotes, b: banknote + adhesive tape, c:
One banknote, o: no banknote is shown.

FIG. 5 shows an output example of the magnetoresistive element 44 when a bill passes, showing two bills (i), one bill (ii), and a folded bill (iii). It can be seen that the voltage value can detect the number of double-fed bills.

For example, in the case of (iii), the voltage of two sheets and the level of one sheet appear continuously, but this is less than the passage time of one banknote due to the time axis. You can judge that the sheet is broken. Thus, the number of double-fed sheets can be detected by combining and determining the thickness of the number of passed sheets and the passage time of the voltage length.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining the control system of this embodiment.

In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes each element accompanied by movement of bills, that is, bill insertion receiving slot 1, reject safe 25, voucher safe 22,
This counter is a counter that stores the current storage amount data of the banknotes of each safe of the thousand-ticket safe 23 and the unsafe banknote safe 24. In this embodiment, the counter 50 is provided in the control unit 51, and the storage data is stored by the control unit 51. To be monitored.

The control unit 51 uses the discrimination unit 17 to determine the deposit, the suction drum 1
6, 30 and 31 number of feeding operations, double feed number detection unit 3
Based on the detection data of No. 9, the number of taken-in sheets or the number of pay-outs for each safe is calculated, and the present stored amount data for each safe of the counter 50 is added / subtracted, for each deposit / withdrawal processing operation.
Update the current storage amount data.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described.

The banknotes inserted into the banknote receiving slot 1 by depositing or replenishing are separated and fed to the discriminating section, the true and false denominations are discriminated, and the control section 51 determines that the deposit is possible and can be reused for withdrawal. The counter 50 calculates the number of bills
It is added to the current stored amount data for each of the safes and stored as the updated current stored amount data.

During the deposit transaction, when the double feed number detection unit 39 detects the double feed, the bill is returned to the insertion receiving slot 1 and the addition processing to the counter is not performed.

When dispensing the banknotes stored in the various safes as described above, for example, when dispensing ten ten thousand bills, the ten thousand bill safe 2
2 to 10 sheets are fed out. When it is normally fed out, 10 sheets are subtracted from the current stored amount data of the counter 50 and the number is stored as the updated current stored amount data.

During the withdrawal transaction, when the double feed number detection unit 39 detects a double feed, the feeding operation is additionally performed, and the above operation is repeated until the normal feeding reaches 10.

On the other hand, the bills that have been fed out due to abnormal multi-feed are stored in the reject safe 25.

The control unit 51 calculates the number of double-fed sheets from the bill thickness data, adds this to the current stored data of the reject safe 25 in the counter 50, and stores the number as the updated current stored amount data.

On the other hand, the control unit 51 totals the number of double feeds and the number of times of feeding, subtracts this from the current stored data of the multi-ticket safe of the counter 50, and stores it as the updated current stored amount data.

The current storage amount data stored in the above manner as the number of units is stored in the controller 5
The monitoring is performed according to No. 1 and when the amount becomes equal to or less than a predetermined specified amount or not, a display means (not shown) informs a staff member of this fact to prompt the maintenance time.

When the number of double-fed sheets is detected only for the purpose of grasping the safe capacity, the accuracy is not so required, and thus the above-described double-fed sheet number detection means can sufficiently achieve the purpose.

Further, further improvement in accuracy can be realized by combining the above-mentioned detector and the discrimination result by the bill pattern provided in the discrimination section.
