Similarly, the 1,000-yen bills are separated and accumulated in the genuine bill collective accumulating unit 84.

Next, the dispensed banknotes stacked in the genuine banknote stacking unit 84 by the banknote low-speed transport path 90a are sent to the banknote insertion receiving port 81 and discharged to the customer.

Here, when the customer forgets to take the bill in the bill receiving port 81, the bill receiving port 81 is rotated by a motor (not shown),
The forgotten banknotes were taken and stored in the storage 91.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, in the above-described conventional device, in addition to a denomination-based storage that stores banknotes in denominations, a deposit-reject ticket storage that stores deposit-rejected banknotes, a dispense-reject-ticket storage that stores dispense-rejected banknotes, Since three types of storages, the take-in storages that take in banknotes forgotten by the customer, are arranged independently, in addition to the denomination-based storages, the above-mentioned three storages are transported when scrutinizing. There is a problem in that a large amount of labor is required for the transportation work and the burden on the staff is large.

In addition, the take-in storage is on the customer side in consideration of the bill insertion receiving port, so if the customer requests to return the forgotten bills stored in this take-in storage, the operation of the automated teller machine is temporarily stopped. , It is necessary to pull out the banknote deposit / withdrawal device from the automated teller machine, further pull out the upper unit in which the loading storage is arranged, and then pull out the forgotten banknotes from the loading storage and return it to the customer. Since the workability of removing the forgotten banknotes is poor and it takes time to take out the forgotten banknotes, it is not possible to promptly respond to the customer's request for return, and there is also a problem that the operation stop time of the device becomes long and the operation efficiency decreases. there were.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and can reduce the number of storages to be transported during a detailed examination to reduce the burden on staff, and facilitate the removal of forgotten banknotes by customers. An object of the present invention is to realize a banknote depositing / dispensing device that improves its workability, can promptly respond to a customer's return request, and can prevent a decrease in operation efficiency of the device.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is a deposit transaction function of sending a banknote inserted by a customer to a customer entrance to a discriminating means and accepting a bill discriminated as depositable by the discriminating means to perform a deposit transaction, and the deposit transaction. At the time, among the banknotes that the discriminating means discriminates as possible to deposit, the circulating banknote that is discriminated as reusable for withdrawal is stored in the coin-type storage box according to the denomination and is rotated for withdrawal. Depending on the denomination and the amount of money, banknotes are withdrawn from the denomination-based storage and sent to the discrimination means, and the banknotes discriminated by the discrimination means to be withdrawable are discharged from the customer service opening to the customer for withdrawal transactions. Functions, bills of a plurality of denominations are fed out from the batch storage, sent to the discrimination means, and loaded and replenished functions for loading and replenishing each denomination storage box based on the denomination discriminated by the discrimination means, and each denomination The bills are paid out from the storage, and the discrimination means is used. A banknote deposit / withdrawal device having a collecting function of storing and collecting the passed banknotes in a batch storage box, and a banknote batch storage section for storing banknotes to be loaded / replenished and collected in the money type storage box, A bill device, a bill formed from the bill batch accommodating unit at the time of replenishment, which is integrally formed with a replenishment reject bill accommodating unit for accommodating a loading / rejection reject bill, which is discriminated as unusable by the discriminating unit. The storage and the deposit reject banknotes that were discriminated as non-reusable among the bills that the discrimination means discriminated to be depositable at the time of the deposit transaction, and the output that the discrimination means discriminated as impossible to dispense at the time of the withdrawal transaction. A reject banknote storage unit for storing gold reject banknotes and a reject banknote storage unit for storing banknotes forgotten by the customer sent from the customer service port are integrally formed. And a bill storage, characterized by being arranged freely the bulk storages and the reject bill storage of individually to the apparatus maintenance face removable.

[Action]

According to the present invention having such a configuration, when the banknotes are loaded and replenished, the collective storage is attached to the device, and the banknotes fed from the banknote batch storage section of the collective storage are sent to the denomination-based safe to be loaded or refilled. At the time of collecting banknotes, the banknotes sent from the denomination-specific safe are stored in the banknote batch storage section of the batch storage box and recovered.

Then, when the bill is loaded and replenished, the discriminating means discriminates that the bill cannot be used for withdrawal, and the rejected and replenished reject bills are stored in the replenishment reject bill storing section of the batch storage, and the discriminating means can be deposited during the deposit transaction. Of the bills that have been discriminated, deposit reject bills that have been discriminated as non-reusable, and withdrawal reject bills that have been discriminated by the discrimination means as impossible to dispense at the time of dispensing transactions are stored in the reject bill storage unit of the reject bill storage, Further, the forgotten banknotes of the customer sent from the customer service port are stored in the forgotten banknote storage section of the reject banknote storage.

Therefore, according to this, all the bills to be loaded, refilled bills to be replenished, and the collected bills can be stored in the bill storage unit of the batch storage, and the replenishment reject bills at the time of loading and replenishment can be stored together. The bills are stored in the replenishment reject banknote storage section of the warehouse, and the reject banknotes at the time of deposit and withdrawal transactions and the banknotes that the customer has forgotten to take are stored in the reject banknote storage section and the forgotten banknote storage section of the reject banknote storage box, respectively. Therefore, at the time of scrutiny, it is only necessary to transport the two storage bins, that is, the batch storage bin and the reject bill storage bin, which facilitates the transportation work and reduces the burden on the staff.

In addition to the batch storage box, a reject banknote storage box that has a banknote storage section that has been forgotten is independently and detachably arranged on the maintenance surface of the device, and this reject banknote storage box can be formed in a small size. When the customer requests to return the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit or forgotten to be returned, separately from this large reject banknote with a large banknote storage capacity, only this small reject banknote storage is removed separately It is possible to take out the banknotes that the customer has forgotten to take out from the storage part, so that the workability of extracting the forgotten banknotes is very good, and as a result, the forgotten banknotes can be removed and returned to the customer in a short time. Therefore, it is possible to promptly respond to the customer's return request.

Furthermore, the reject banknote storage can be removed separately from the batch storage, so if the customer requests the return of the forgotten banknotes, if it is the time of refilling the banknotes, the supplementary reject banknotes at this time Replenishment of storage bank Since it is stored in reject banknotes, that is, the reject banknote storage box is not used at all when replenishing banknotes, it is possible to respond to the customer's return request without stopping the operation of the device and at the time other than when replenishing banknotes. Even if the customer's request for return is promptly responded to as described above, even if the operation of the device is temporarily stopped during the operation of extracting the forgotten banknotes, the operation stop time is shortened and the deterioration of the operation efficiency of the device is minimized. You can keep it to the limit.

<Deposit transaction> When the customer depresses the deposit transaction key and inserts the card into the card insertion slot or passbook insertion slot, communication is performed between the device and the center, and it is confirmed that there is no problem. Then, the control unit 7 sends a command for starting the deposit process to CCAD2.

When CCAD2 receives the deposit processing start command, it switches the internal state to deposit mode, waits for the customer to set the bills, and when it detects that the customer has set the bills in the customer service slot 8, the customer service port shutter 11 is opened. The control unit 7 adds the information indicating that the deposit port banknote is set to the state sense command that is periodically transmitted from the control unit 7, and returns a response message (hereinafter referred to as a response).

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a deposit count command to instruct counting of the banknotes set in the deposit / withdrawal port.

The processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the customer service port 8 is rotated by a motor (not shown) to reach the separation position shown in FIG.

Then, the banknotes are taken into the inside of the apparatus by the separating mechanism 10 one by one, and sent to the discrimination section 13 through the conveying path.

The discriminating section 13 discriminates the conveyed bills in order of authenticity and damage, detects the conveying state, and sends the bills backward.

The bills discriminated by the discrimination unit 13 as fake bills or abnormal conveyance bills are conveyed to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 and accumulated one by one.

The reception port 8 is set to the receiving position shown in FIG. 4C by a motor (not shown), and the banknotes accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are fed into the reception port 8.

After that, the customer service port 8 is brought to the withdrawal position shown in FIG. 4D by a motor (not shown), the customer service port shutter 11 is opened, and the bill is returned to the customer.

The deposited banknotes that have been discriminated from genuine bills by the discriminating unit 13 are sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 by operating the switching blade 14c.

Here, the 1,000-yen bills are operated by the switching blade 14h to be sent to the denomination-based bill stacking unit 39, and are stacked on the denomination-based bill temporary holding plate 42. Is operated to send it to the denomination-specific banknote stacking unit 40 and stack it on the denomination-specific banknote temporary holding plate 43.

The banknotes that have been discriminated as unfit banknotes or 5000 notes of non-circulation target denomination cannot be reused for withdrawal, so the switching blade 14j is operated as a deposit reject banknote to operate the banknote stacking unit 41 for each denomination.
It is sent to and is accumulated on the bill-type bill temporary holding plate 44.

By the above operation, when the deposit counting process of the banknote set by the customer in the service opening 8 is completed, the CCAD2 returns a response of the deposit counting end to the control unit 7, and as the data, the number of the counted bills for each cash type. Is separately added to the reusable banknote and the non-reusable deposit reject banknote.

The control unit 7 receives this data, calculates the total amount of money of each type of money, displays it on a CRT (not shown), and counts this data as a deposit count and stores it.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the CRT (not shown) and presses the confirmation button (not shown), CCAD2 retracts the bill-type bill temporary holding plates 42, 43 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 in the direction of arrow J and accumulates them. The deposited banknotes are stored in the denomination cassettes 33 and 34, respectively.

Next, by driving the denomination-based bill separating mechanism 47, the deposit rejected bills accumulated on the denomination-based bill temporary holding plate 44 are separated one by one and sent to the discrimination unit 13, and the switching blades 14c, 14g
Is operated to send it to the third-class reject banknote accumulating section 30 of the reject cassette 7, and the third-class reject banknote storing section
Collect in 28.

This completes the deposit transaction processing.

<Withdrawal Transaction> After the customer presses the withdrawal transaction key, the card is inserted into the card insertion slot and the personal identification number is input.

The control unit 7 sends a command for starting withdrawal to CCAD2.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the withdrawal process, it switches the internal state to the withdrawal mode and waits for an instruction of the denomination and the number of bills to be ejected.

When the customer inputs, for example, an amount of m ten thousand, firstly, check whether the end detectors 49c and 50c of the cassettes 34 and 35 of the denominations and the end detector 48c of the cassette 33 of the denominations detect the end. judge.

If either one of them has detected the end, it sends back a response with the addition of non-withdrawal information.

When the end count is not detected and the instruction for counting the withdrawal is m 10,000-yen notes and n thousand-yen notes n, the denomination-based banknote separating mechanism 46 or the denomination-based banknote separating mechanism 47 is operated to operate the denomination-based cassette 34 or 35 million yen tickets will be sent out from 35.

The bills fed out are sent to the discriminating unit 13 via the conveying path 51 as indicated by the arrow in FIG.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates whether the bill is the designated one or not, and discriminates between the front and back and whether the bill is normal or not, and if it is as specified, operates the switching gate 14c and sends it to the front and back assembling mechanism 12, and the discriminating unit 13 Switching blade 14a
Is operated to collect the front and back sides one by one, and the sheets are accumulated in the front and back side arrangement mechanism 12.

In addition, the bill discriminated as a conveyance abnormal bill by the discrimination unit 13 is sent as a withdrawal reject bill to the third type reject bill stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 7 by operating the switching blades 14c and 14g, and the third type reject bill. Collect in the storage unit 28.

In this way, the payout, discrimination, and accumulation of 10,000-yen notes are repeated until the required number of sheets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12.

After paying out the 10,000-yen ticket, the next is cassette 33 by denomination.
In the same manner, the n pieces of 1,000-yen tickets are delivered.

When the specified number of sheets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the customer service entrance 8
To the receiving position by a motor not shown,
The dispensed banknotes accumulated in the front and back collecting mechanism 12 are sent to the customer service port 8.

The customer service port 8 is set to the withdrawal position by a motor (not shown), the customer service port shutter 11 is opened to pass the bill to the customer, and the customer service port shutter 11 is closed.

When the withdrawal of the designated number of sheets from the control unit 7 is completed, a completion response is returned, and the released denomination and its number are added as the data.

The control unit 7 receives this, counts it as the number of withdrawals, and stores it.

After the processing of the withdrawal transaction is completed, if the customer forgets to take the banknotes in the service port 8, the separating mechanism 10 re-separates the banknotes that have been forgotten and sends them to the transport path 51 one by one to switch. The blades 14c, 14d, and 14g are operated to feed them into the second-class reject banknote stacking section 29 of the reject cassette 7 and stack them in the second-class reject banknote storage section 27.

<Replenishment> When the employee presses the replenishment key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7
Receiving this input, sends a command instructing CCAD2 to start the refill operation.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the replenishment operation, it switches the internal state to the replenishment mode and confirms that the end detector 25a of the banknote batch storage unit 17 has not detected the end, that is, the banknotes to be refilled have been set in advance. To do.

When the end is detected, the response is returned with the information indicating that the operation is disabled, and this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started.

The operation of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

By operating the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22, the bills set on the stage 18 are sequentially fed out one by one from the upper side, conveyed as shown by an arrow in FIG. 8, and sent to the discrimination section 13.

In the discrimination section 13, the bills sent in are sequentially denomination, authenticity,
It discriminates whether it is normal or not, detects the running condition, and sends it back.

If the bill is a 1,000-yen bill that can be loaded for withdrawal, the switching blade 14h is actuated to activate the bill-type bill stacking unit 3
It is sent to 9, and accumulated directly on the stage 36 of the denomination cassette 33.

In the case of bills that can be loaded for withdrawal in the form of 10,000-yen bills, the switching blade 14i or 14j is operated to send the bills to the bill-denomination stacking unit 40 or 41, and the stage 37 or 38 of the cassette 34 or 35 according to the denomination. Accumulate directly on.

This operation is repeated until the banknotes set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects it. However, the accumulated number of any one of the stages 36, 37, and 38 on the way is a holding allowable value (for example, 100 sheets). ) Is reached, the operation of the replenishment banknote separating mechanism 22 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette which has reached the hold allowable value is lowered by a motor (not shown) by an amount corresponding to the hold allowable value.

When the stage goes down, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is operated again, and the replenishment operation is repeated.

When the banknotes on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the end, the supplementary banknote separating mechanism 22 stops, and when the last banknote arrives at the stage of the denomination-type cassette, the transfer operation by the transfer path also stops.

Finally, the stages 36, 37, 38 of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 are lowered all at once, and the banknotes accumulated on the stages 36, 37, 38 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 for replenishment operation. Ends.

The banknotes that have been discriminated as non-withdrawable by the discriminating unit 13 are switching blades 14e, 14 as supplementary reject banknotes.
The f is operated to be sent to the first-type reject banknote accumulating unit 24 and accumulated in the first-type reject banknote storing unit 23.

In addition, the full detector 4
When 9c, 50c or the full detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 detects full, the switching blade 14e is operated to send it to the collected bill stacking unit 21 and stack it on the partition plate 19.

When the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and the conveyance operation by the conveyance path 61 is also stopped.

The CCAD2 returns a response of the end of replenishment to the control unit 7, and adds the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination as the data.

With that, the processing of the replenishing operation is completed.

Here, the operation when the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and 35 are full will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in FIG. 8, when the full detectors 48c, 49c, 50c of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 detect full, the switching blade 14e is operated to separate the bills separated by the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22. Is sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21, and the partition plate 19
Collect on top.

At this time, the discriminating unit 13 counts the banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 19, and once the stacking allowable value (for example, 100 sheets) is reached, the supplementary banknote separating mechanism 22 is once stopped.

Next, the clamp lever 20 is rotated by a motor (not shown) from the position A to the position B to clamp the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19.

Next, the clamp lever 20 is moved from the position B to the position C by a motor (not shown) to lift the bill.

As a result, the bills can be fed again onto the partition plate 19.

Then, the stopped supplementary bill separating mechanism 22 is driven again to continue stacking on the partition plate 19 to the stacking allowable value again.

When the stacking allowable value is reached, the replenishment banknote separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and C
By rotating the clamp lever at the position No. by the motor (not shown) to the position D,
The bills clamped and lifted first are then dropped on the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19.

Subsequently, the clamp lever 20 in the D position is returned to the A position by a motor (not shown), and further rotated from the A position to the B position to clamp the banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 19.

Next, the clamp lever 20 is moved again from the position B to the position C by a motor (not shown) to lift the bill.

Then, the stopped replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is driven again.

The above operation is repeated until the end detector 25a of the bill batch storage unit 17 detects the end.

When the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, the clamp lever 20 clamps and raises the bill to the position C by the motor (not shown), and the stage 18 is moved from the position E to the position F by the motor (not shown). It rotates to the position, and then descends from the F position to the G position by a motor (not shown).

Next, the motor (not shown) rotates from the G position to the H position.

Here, the clamp lever 20 is rotated from a position C to a position D by a motor (not shown), and thus the banknotes lifted even when clamped are placed on the stage 18.

Then, the stage 18 lifts the bill from the H position to the I position (home position) by a motor (not shown).

By the above operation, the bills in the bill batch storage unit 17 are discriminated by the discrimination unit 13
After passing through, the bills can be stored again in the bill batch storage unit 17.

As described above, since the clamp lever 20 and the stage 18 are provided with detectors (not shown) corresponding to their respective positions, the operation control of the clamp lever 20 and the stage 18 described above is performed based on the detection results. Be seen.

<Loading> One-time cassette 15 in which the bank staff set the banknotes in a batch on the stage 18 of the banknote batch storage unit 17 before the start of work.
When is mounted on CCAD2 and the loading key of the internal operation unit 6 is pressed, the control unit 7 receives this input and sends a command to the CCAD2 to start the loading operation.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the loading operation, it switches the internal state in the same manner as in the refilling mode and performs the loading operation similar to the refilling operation.

<Recovery> When the staff member presses the recovery key with the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and sends a command to the CCAD2 to start the recovery operation.

When CCAD2 receives the collection operation start command, it switches the internal state to the collection mode and all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 have not detected the end, that is, the bills to be collected are denomination cassettes 33, 34. , 35 exists.

When all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 have detected the end, the inoperable information is added, the response is returned, and this processing is stopped.

When it is confirmed that any one of the denomination-type cassettes has not detected the end, the collecting operation is started.

The operation of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, the denomination-based bill separating mechanism 47 is operated to take out the bills stored in the denomination-based cassette 35 one by one in order from the upper side and fed into the discriminating section 13 through the traveling path as shown by the arrow in FIG.

The discrimination section 13 discriminates the denomination and authenticity of the sent bills in order, detects the traveling state, and sends the bills backward.

Banknotes in which the overrun or skew is detected by the discriminating unit 13 are sent to the third-type reject banknote accumulating unit 30 of the reject cassette 16 by operating the switching blade 14g as collection reject banknotes, and the third-class reject banknote storage unit. 28
To store.

The bills that have been discriminated as normal are sent to the collected bill stacking unit 21,
The sheets are sequentially stacked on the partition plate 19.

This operation is repeated until there are no banknotes set in the denomination-type cassette 35. However, when the number of stacked intermediate plates 19 reaches the stacking allowable value (for example, 100), the operation of the denomination-type banknote separating mechanism 47. And the operation of FIG. 5 explained at the time of the replenishing operation is performed.

When the end detector 50a of the denomination cassette 35 detects the end, next, the stored bills are paid out from the denomination cassette 34.

In the case of a banknote for which overrun or skew is detected by the discrimination unit 13,
The switching blade 14a is actuated and stored in the third-type reject banknote storage section 28 of the reject cassette 16 in the same manner as described above.

The bills that have been discriminated as normal are sent to the collected bill stacking unit 21,
The sheets are sequentially stacked on the partition plate 19.

When the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, next, the stored bills are paid out from the denomination cassette 33.

Thus, the banknotes of each denomination cassette 35, 34, 33 are
The other 10,000-yen ticket and the 1,000-yen ticket are accumulated in this order on the partition plate 19 of the banknote batch storage unit 17.

During the above-described collecting operation, the bill validating unit 17 is always used by the bill validator 13
The number of bills sent to is counted, and when the storage amount is reached, the collection operation is interrupted and the information is returned to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 displays "Batch cassette full" on the display unit (not shown) to instruct to collect the banknotes stored in the batch cassette.

Here, the storage capacity of the collected banknotes in the banknote batch storage unit 17 is
It depends on the amount of banknotes deposited on the stage 18.

Therefore, prior to the banknote collecting process, the height of the stage 18 is detected by a detection unit (not shown), and the amount of accumulated banknotes on the stage 18 is calculated by the calculation unit of the control unit 7 according to the height of the stage 18. This is subtracted from the storage amount of to collect the storage amount of the collected banknotes.

When the banknote batch storage section 17 is full, the bank clerk opens the door 52 on the rear surface of the CCAD2, extracts the batch cassette 15, and uses the inspection key to open the batch cassette door to open the banknote batch storage section 17
Take out all the banknotes inside.

When the collective cassette door is closed, the collective cassette 15 is set by the reverse operation to the above, and the door 52 is closed, the collecting operation is performed again.

As described above, the collecting operation is performed until all of the denomination cassettes 35, 34, 33 detect the end, and when the last banknote reaches the banknote batch storage unit 17, the conveying operation by the conveying path 51 is also stopped and the collecting operation is performed. finish.

The CCAD2, which has completed the above processing, returns a response indicating that collection has been completed, and adds the number of collected sheets for each denomination as the data.

In response to this, the control unit 7 counts the number of collected sheets and stores it.

With that, the process of the collecting operation is completed.

Each processing described above is performed in the following processing procedure in actual operation.

Before the start of business, the banknote batch storage section 17 of the batch cassette 15
By carrying out the loading process of the banknotes set in, each denomination-type cassette is loaded.

After entering the business, carry out deposit transactions, withdrawal transactions, etc. at any time, and when the denomination type cassette is near end or end, take out the batch cassette 15 from CCAD2 and set the missing banknotes in the batch cassette 15. CC bulk cassette 15
Set to AD2 to enable replenishment processing to continue withdrawal transactions.

Even if the batch cassette 15 is taken out from the CCAD2, deposit / withdrawal transactions are possible and there is no need to stop operation.

Further, a full detector of the second-type reject bill storage unit 27 and the third-type reject bill storage unit 28 of the reject cassette 16.
When 31,33 detects full, the reject cassette 16 is
Since it is placed on the front side with respect to the drawing direction of CAD2,
The CCAD 2 can be easily exchanged for an empty reject cassette 16 between deposit / withdrawal transactions without withdrawing from the automatic teller machine 1.

Thus, if the reject cassette 7 is exchanged between the deposit / withdrawal transactions, it is not necessary to stop the operation of the automatic teller machine 1.

〔The invention's effect〕

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention, in a banknote deposit / withdrawal device having a deposit transaction function, a circulation function, a withdrawal transaction function, and a collection function, a banknote to be loaded and replenished and a banknote to be collected in a denomination-based storage A banknote batch storage section for storing and a refill reject banknote storage section for storing refill reject banknotes that have been discriminated by the discriminating means as unusable from the banknotes delivered from the banknote batch storage section during bill loading and replenishment. Of the banknotes that are integrally formed with, and the bills that the discrimination means discriminates that the deposit is possible at the time of depositing / withdrawing, the reject reject banknotes that are discriminated as non-reusable, and the discriminating means does not disburse during the dispensing transaction. Rejected banknote storage unit that stores rejected reject banknotes that are discriminated as possible and an uncollected banknote storage unit that stores the customer's forgotten banknotes sent from the customer service port A-object bill storage has a structure in which each disposed removably individually to the bulk storage case and device maintenance face the reject bill storage.

Therefore, according to this, all the bills at the time of loading and replenishing bills and the collected bills can be stored in the bill batch storage part of the batch storage, and the supplementary reject bills at the time of loading and replenishment can be collectively stored. The bills are stored in the replenishment reject banknote storage section of the warehouse, and the reject banknotes at the time of deposit and withdrawal transactions and the banknotes that the customer has forgotten to take are stored in the reject banknote storage section and the forgotten banknote storage section of the reject banknote storage box respectively. Therefore, at the time of scrutiny, it is only necessary to transport the two storage bins, that is, the batch storage bin and the reject bill storage bin, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the staff by making the transportation work easier. .

In addition to the batch storage box, a reject banknote storage box that has a banknote storage section that has been forgotten is independently and detachably arranged on the maintenance surface of the device, and this reject banknote storage box can be formed in a small size. When a customer requests to return the uncollected banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit, separately from this large reject banknote storage with a large banknote storage capacity, this small reject banknote storage is independently removed to store the forgotten banknotes. It is possible to take out the banknotes that the customer has forgotten to take out, so that the workability of extracting the forgotten banknotes is very good, and as a result, it is possible to take out the forgotten banknotes and return them to the customer in a short time. As a result, it is possible to quickly respond to the customer's request for return.

Furthermore, the reject banknote storage can be removed separately from the batch storage, so if the customer requests the return of the forgotten banknotes, if it is the time of refilling the banknotes, the supplementary reject banknotes at this time Replenishment of storage bank Since it is stored in reject banknotes, that is, the reject banknote storage box is not used at all when replenishing banknotes, it is possible to respond to the customer's return request without stopping the operation of the device and at the time other than when replenishing banknotes. Even if the customer's request for return is promptly responded to as described above, even if the operation of the device is temporarily stopped during the operation of extracting the forgotten banknotes, the operation stop time is shortened and the deterioration of the operation efficiency of the device is minimized. The effect that it can be suppressed to the limit is obtained.
