The transport system driving motor 101 drives the transport belts other than the first and second stacking transport units 21a and 21b so that their peripheral speeds become equal. The transport system driving motor 101 also drives the take-out roller 104 and the pay-out roller 103 to rotate. That is, the take-out roller 104 and the take-out roller 103 are adapted to transmit the driving force of the conveying system drive motor 101 through the electromagnetic clutch 102. When the electromagnetic clutch 102 is turned on, the take-out roller 104 and the take-out roller 103 are transmitted. 103 is synchronously rotated so that the banknotes placed on the mounting table 105 are sequentially taken in one by one and conveyed. When a sensor (not shown) detects that there is no bill on the mounting table 105, the electromagnetic clutch 102 is turned off and the driving of the take-out roller 104 and the take-out roller 103 is stopped.

Next, the first and second stacking and conveying sections 21a and 21b will be described. The first stacking and conveying section 21a includes the branch conveying path 22.

A first gear 153 is fixed to the second roller shaft, and a third gear 154 that is continuously rotated by the drive of the transport system driving motor 101 is arranged at an opposed position spaced from the first gear 153. ing. When the first continuous transfer solenoid 118 is energized, the rotation lever 150 causes the second banknote transfer belt 115 and the branch transfer path 22l to come into contact with each other, and
The first and second gears 153 and 154 will mesh with each other. Therefore,
By energizing the first continuous transfer solenoid 118, the second
The banknote transport belt 115 is continuously rotated to transport banknotes. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the second banknote conveying belt 115 is fixed to the drive shaft 156 and stretches the second banknote conveying belt 115 on the rear side of the second banknote conveying belt 115 in the conveying direction. A roller 112A and a roller 112B that is rotatably supported by the drive shaft 156 and stretches a third banknote transport belt 157 that forms a part of the intake transport path 22a are provided. The drive shaft 156 is adapted to transmit the rotational drive force of the intermittent conveyance drive motor (for example, pulse motor) 109 via the one-way clutch 110 and the drive transmission belt 115. The intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 is used for the first bill detection sensor 1 described later.
When the presence of a bill is detected by 41, it is driven by a pulse number corresponding to a distance shorter than the length of the bill (length along the transport direction), for example, 5 mm to 10 mm, based on drive control of the control unit 90. It is like this. Therefore, by intermittently driving the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 repeatedly, the banknotes that are continuously conveyed through the branch conveyance path 22l are the banknotes of the banknotes between the first and second banknote conveyance belts 114 and 115. The sheets will be sandwiched and conveyed in a stacked state in which the conveying tips are shifted. In this case, the first stacking and conveying section 21a serves as an intermittent conveying means, and when the rejected paper sheets (hereinafter also referred to as rejected tickets) are driven intermittently, the rejected tickets are removed by this intermittent drive. It has a function as a rejected paper sheet stacking unit that stacks while shifting. The one-way clutch 110 uses the rotational force of the drive shaft 156 that rotates when the second banknote transport belt 115 is continuously driven to rotate via the first and second gears 153 and 154 for intermittent transport drive. Motor 1
It is provided to prevent transmission to 09. Further, first and second banknote detection sensors 141 and 142 are arranged at the front stage and the rear stage of the first stacking and conveying unit 21a in the conveying direction. The first and second bill detection sensors 141, 41

It detects the presence of banknotes. Then, the first banknote detection sensor 141 arranged in front of the first stacking and conveying section 21a.
Serves to drive and control the intermittent transport drive motor 109 as described above. On the other hand, the second bill detection sensor 142, which is a detector, uses the first and second bill conveyance belts 114, 115.
It is detected that the transport tip of the stacked banknote that is clamped by and is intermittently transported has reached the vicinity of the exit of the first stacking transport unit 21a, and when this is detected, the control unit 90 stops the driving of the entire device. It is like this. This is to prevent the banknotes sent out from the first stacking and conveying section 21a from being introduced to the intake conveying path 22a that continues to be continuously conveyed and taken in and conveyed again in the same path as the banknotes to be deposited. .

Next, the second stacking and conveying section 21b will be described. The second stacking / conveying unit 21b is arranged at a subsequent stage in the conveying direction of the banknote sending-out conveying path 22m, and guides the rejected bills or the withdrawn bills to the accommodating unit 15. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the second stacking and conveying section 21b is a fourth banknote conveying belt which is stretched endlessly by bringing the front side in the conveying direction into contact with the banknote delivery conveying path 22m. 160 and an endless fifth bill transport belt 161 arranged so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from the fourth bill transport belt 160. Further, the front side of the fifth banknote transport belt 161 in the transport direction is always separated from the fourth banknote transport belt 160, and the fourth and fifth banknote transport belts 160, 161 face in the transport direction. The wedge shape is formed so that the separation distance is narrowed. Then, the fifth banknote transport belt 161 includes the driving roller 113.
4A is rotatable in the E direction shown in FIG. 4A, and this drive is performed to the second continuous transfer solenoid 119 similarly to the above-described first stacking transfer section 21a. This is done by rotating the rotating lever 152 by energizing the. Further, although not shown, when the fifth banknote transport belt 161 is rotated in the direction E in the drawing to come into contact with the fourth banknote transport belt 160, A gear for continuous transport driving is in mesh with a gear driven by the transport system driving motor 101. Further, the driving roller 113 is configured to transmit the rotational power from the intermittent conveyance driving motor 109 via a one-way clutch 111. Therefore, the second stacking and transporting section 21b is capable of continuous transporting of banknotes and intermittent transporting in which banknotes are stacked while shifting the transporting leading end, similarly to the first stacking and transporting section 21a. The idler roller 117 is a roller that is arranged to face the driving roller 113 with the fifth banknote conveying belt 161 interposed therebetween. Further, the third banknote detection sensor 143 arranged on the upstream side of the second stacking and conveying section 21b in the conveying direction includes the issuing element 143.
The a and the light receiving element 143b detect the tip of the dispensed bill, and when this is detected, the drive roller 113 is driven by the number of pulses corresponding to a distance shorter than the length of the bill based on the drive control of the control unit 90. It is supposed to do. On the other hand, the fourth banknote detection sensor 144 arranged on the rear side of the second stacking and transporting section 21b in the transport direction detects the rear end of the rejected bill or the dispensed bill slot by the light emitting element 144a and the light receiving element 144b. After the detection, the control unit 90 controls the transport system drive motor 101, the first
The second continuous transfer solenoids 118 and 119 are turned off and the bill inlet / outlet door 123 is opened.

Above the connecting portion between the delivery transport path 22m and the second stacking transport portion 21b, a payment recording sheet (hereinafter referred to as a slip) issued based on a dispensed bill in a card / passbook processing unit (details will be described later) 10. There is provided a slip delivery port 170 for sending out). This slip is the third bill detection sensor 143
After the last dispensed bill has passed through, the slip is delivered from the slip delivery port 170.
In (1), the banknotes are stacked together with the withdrawn bills in a state where the transport front ends are shifted and delivered to the accommodating portion 15.

The details of the deposit processing, the deposit elimination ticket processing, and the dispensed banknote processing of the banknote processing unit 9 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 6 (a) to FIG. 6 (e) as well. .

First, a bill deposit process will be described. When the bill depositing mode is selected, the bill depositing / exiting motor 124 is driven based on the drive control of the control unit 90, and the bill depositing / disclosing door 123 is opened by the action of the bill depositing door opening / closing mechanism 120. In addition, the control unit 9
At 0, the mounting table driving motor 140 and the pressing plate driving motor 132 are driven to set the mounting table 105 and the pressing plate 107 to the state shown in FIG. 4 (a). After this, the operator collectively inserts the banknotes in the stacked state from the banknote inlet / outlet 4. Then, the banknotes are interposed between the placing table 105 and the pressing plate 107 in the stacked state. At this time, the bill is not pressed by the pressing plate 107. After that, the banknote door motor 124
Is reversely driven and the bill door opening / closing mechanism 123 closes the bill entrance / exit 4 by the action of the bill door opening / closing mechanism 120. Further, at this time, the plate-shaped member 127 moves along the plate-shaped cam 129 in conjunction with the closing movement of the bill input / output door 123, and along the curved portion of the plate-shaped cam 129 when the bill input / output door 123 is closed. And is rotated by the urging force of the coil spring 128, and the bill stopper 126 is projected as shown in FIG. This banknote stopper 126
Will contact the end face of the stacked banknotes interposed between the mounting table 105 and the pressing plate 107 to align the banknotes.
Thereafter, the control unit 90 controls the energization of the pressing surface driving solenoid 135 to rotate the pressing surface 107a in the direction B shown in FIG. 4 (a) or FIG. 5 (c) through the spring-loaded hinges 134, 134,
The stacked banknotes are pressed against the take-out roller 104. still,
At this time, since the elastic member 180 having a reduced surface friction coefficient is attached to the bill contact surface side of the pressing surface 107a, the pressing force applied to the entire surface of the bill by the elasticity of the elastic member 180 is made uniform. . After that, the control unit 90 drives and controls the transport system driving motor 101 to drive the transport system of the bill processing unit 9. Then, the take-out roller 104 and the pay-out roller 103 arranged in front of the take-out roller 104 input the rotational driving force of the conveying system driving motor 101 via the electromagnetic clutch 102, and rotate in synchronization with each other. At this time, since the pressing force of the banknotes frictionally sent out by the take-out roller 104 is made uniform by the elastic member 180, the banknotes are not transported in a skewed state, and are transported in a skewed state. It is possible to eliminate the paper jam or the unreadableness in the inspection unit 20 caused by the paper jam. The banknotes taken out by the takeout roller 104 are prevented from being fed by the feeding roller 103 and the first number regulation roller 106, so that the banknotes are fed one by one forward. The bills thus taken in and conveyed are sorted and accumulated in the bill storage units 16, 17, 18 according to the inspection result in the inspection unit 20 according to the flow shown in FIG. 3 (b) as described above. To be done. Further, the items discriminated as counterfeit bills by the inspection unit 2 are distributed to the branch conveyance path 22l by the distribution gate 23a as shown in FIG. 3 (c) and accumulated in the first accumulation conveyance unit 21a. become.

Here, details of the processing of the bill discriminated as a counterfeit bill will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a), (b), and (c). The banknotes transported by the branch transport path 22l are stacked in the first stacking transport unit 21a as follows. That is,
When the leading edge of the bill conveyed along the branch conveyance path 22l interrupts the first bill detection sensor 141, the control unit 90 controls the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 to drive a distance shorter than the length of the bill, for example, 5 mm. The intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 is rotated by the number of pulses corresponding to 10 mm. At this time, the first continuous transfer solenoid 118 is not operated. The branch transport path 22l and the second banknote transport belt 115 are still formed in a wedge shape so that the separation distance becomes narrower in the transport direction. Then, by the rotation of the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 by a predetermined amount, the bills are stopped with the leading end of the first bill held between the first and second bill conveyance belts 114 and 115. This operation is repeated every time a rejected ticket, such as a counterfeit note, that sequentially generates interrupts the first banknote detection sensor 141. Then, these banknotes are sandwiched between the first and second banknote conveyor belts 114 and 115 and intermittently conveyed, as indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 6 (a). Further, the banknotes held by the first and second banknote conveying belts 114 and 115 are accumulated as shown in FIG. 6 (b). That is, the banknotes are stacked with the leading end of the conveyance shifted by the intermittent driving of the intermittent conveyance driving motor 109 by a predetermined amount. In this way, when the counterfeit bills are generated while continuing the deposit processing, the counterfeit bills can be accumulated and held in the first stacking and conveying section 21a. Moreover, since the bills can be stacked in a state of being held by the bill conveyance belt, there is no need for a complicated configuration that leads to an increase in the size of a device such as an impeller. On the other hand, when a large number of counterfeit notes are generated during the depositing process, when the number of counterfeit notes generated reaches a predetermined number, the first banknote accumulated in the first stacking and conveying section 21a is the second banknote detection sensor. 142 will be blocked. In this case, the control unit 90 stops driving the entire device. As described above, the bills sent out from the first stacking conveying unit 21a are guided to the take-in conveying path 22a, which is a depositing path that continues to be continuously conveyed, and are picked up and conveyed again in the same path as the deposited banknotes. This is to prevent the counting of bills from being erroneously performed. After stopping the driving of the device, the operator is notified of this fact by, for example, an alarm. The operator
At this time, the bill inlet / outlet door 123 is opened to remove the bills on the mounting table 105, and the bills in the middle of the deposit path are continuously processed. After that, the operator selects the false detection processing mode and performs the following processing. That is, based on the operation control of the control unit 90, the first and second continuous transfer solenoids 118 and 119 are energized to rotate the second banknote transfer belt 115 in the D direction shown in FIG. The banknote transport belt 161 is rotated in the E direction shown in FIG. 4 (a) to form the transport system shown in FIG. 6 (c). At this time, the second and fifth banknote transport belts 11
By the rotation of 5,161, the first and second stacking and conveying sections 21a and 21b are
The continuous transport mode is set by the gear that is meshed with the gear driven by the transport system drive motor 101. When the transport system driving motor 101 is driven in this state, the banknotes that have been stacked by shifting the transport front end in the first stacking transport unit 21a are held by the first and second banknote transport belts 114 and 115 as they are. Continuously conveyed and delivered to the take-in conveyance path 22a, branched by the sorting gate 23f and guided to the delivery conveyance path 22m, further continuously conveyed by the second stacking conveyance section 21b, and delivered to the accommodation section 15. (See FIG. 6 (c)). On the other hand, at this time, in the storage unit 15, the control unit 90
The mounting table driving motor 140 is driven based on the operation control of the above, and the mounting table 105 is rotated so as to be separated from the take-out roller 104 as shown in FIG. The bills sent from are ready to be received. Further, the control unit 90 drives and controls the pressing plate driving motor 132 to move the pressing plate 107 upward along the direction C in FIG. 4A, and at the same time, the pressing surface 107a is pressed by the biasing force of the spring hinge 134. Is rotated counterclockwise to return (see FIG. 6 (c)). In this way, the accommodating section 15 can accept the banknotes from the second stacking and conveying section 21b. Furthermore, in the state in which the bill inlet / outlet door 123 is closed, the bill stopper 126 projects so as to cross the placing table 105. Therefore, the banknotes that are continuously conveyed in the stacking state by shifting the transporting tips from the second stacking and conveying section 21b are aligned on the mounting table 105 with the end faces of the banknotes successively brought into contact with the banknote stopper 126. Will be accumulated in. All counterfeit bills are on the stand 1
After being stacked on the 05, the banknote input / output door 123 is opened based on the detection of the fourth banknote detection sensor 144, and the stacked counterfeit banknotes can be taken out. The process of taking out the counterfeit bills is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the counterfeit bills stacked in the first stacking and conveying unit 21a are guided to the second stacking and conveying unit 21b in the same manner as described above, and are temporarily held there. In this state, the remaining deposit processing is performed again, and the counterfeit bills generated at this stage are transferred to the first stacking conveyance unit 21a
Accumulate in. And after all the deposit processing is completed,
It is also possible to continuously convey the counterfeit bills accumulated in the first and second accumulation conveying units 21a and 21b and guide them to the accommodation unit 15 in the same manner as described above.

Next, the details of the banknote dispensing process will be described with reference to FIGS. 6D and 6E. When the dispensing mode is selected, the control unit 90 drives and controls the mounting table 105 and the pressing plate 107 in the accommodating unit 15 in the same manner as in the counterfeit bill processing mode, and the bills from the second stacking and conveying unit 21b. Ready to accept.
Further, the control unit 90 controls the energization of the first continuous carrying solenoid 118 to control the second bill carrying belt 115 in FIG. 4 (a).
The first stacking and conveying section 21a is rotated in the D direction shown in the figure to set the continuous conveying mode. When the transport system driving motor 101 is driven in this state, the denomination for which payment is specified is the banknote storage unit.
The sheets are taken out one by one from 16, 17, and 18 and continuously conveyed according to the route shown in FIG. 3 (d). Since the first stacking and transporting section 21a is in the continuous transporting mode, the banknotes are continuously transported as they are without stacking. Then, the first bill that is determined to be payable is continuously conveyed along the path of the alternate long and short dash line shown in FIG. 6 (d), and the third bill detection sensor arranged in the preceding stage of the second stacking and conveying unit 21b. When 143 is interrupted, the control unit 90 controls the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 to rotate it by the number of pulses corresponding to the distance shorter than the length of the bill. This operation is performed when the bill is the third bill detection sensor 14
By repeating the operation every time 3 is interrupted, the banknotes are intermittently conveyed while being stacked with the conveyance front ends thereof being shifted as shown in FIG. 6 (e). Then, the banknotes intermittently carried out from the second stacking and conveying section 21b are stacked on the mounting table 105 in a state where the end surfaces of the banknotes are brought into contact with the banknote stoppers 126 one after another in the accommodating section 15 and aligned. Will be done. Then, of the bills to be dispensed, when the bill conveyed at the end interrupts the third bill detecting sensor 143, the slip issued in the card / passbook processing unit 10 is sent out from the slip delivery port 170, and It is supplied to the stacking and conveying section 21b. Then, when this voucher interrupts the third bill detection sensor 143, it is intermittently transported as in the case of bills, and this voucher is accumulated with its transport tip displaced from the transport tip of the final bill. After that, the second continuous carrying solenoid 118 is energized to control the second stacking and carrying section 21b to the continuous carrying mode to carry the bills and the slips continuously. As a result, the bills are placed on the placing table 105 in the accommodating portion 15 in the uppermost layer, and the bills are aligned and accumulated. After that, the banknote inlet / outlet door 123 is opened based on the detection of the fourth banknote detection sensor 144, and the user can take out the dispensed banknote through the banknote inlet / outlet.

In this way, since the dispensed banknotes can be easily accumulated without requiring a complicated structure such as an impeller, it can greatly contribute to downsizing of the device. Further, the storage unit 15 can be selectively loaded with both the bills to be taken in and the bills to be sent out, and the bill stopper 126 can be used also as the aligning means for both of them, thus further miniaturizing the device.

It is composed by.

Next, the main configurations of the control unit 90 and the program memory 91, which are various function implementing means, will be described in detail, particularly in relation to the coin processing unit 200, and are configured to implement the following functions.

[1] When the first deposit indicator 76B is pressed by the customer when the screen shown in FIG. 9 (d) is displayed on the CRT 71, first open the coin door 124A and then close the coin door 214A. The bill door 123 is opened to prevent coins and bills from mixing.

[2] When a coin is inserted into the coin inlet / outlet 202, the second
The coin placing member 216A is rotated in the direction of the arrow Y ₁ shown in FIG. 10 via the opening / closing drive member 216B to temporarily move the inserted coin into the coin holding portion 221A, and thereafter the coin placing member 216A is returned to the horizontal state. Then, during the coin acceptance determination of the electronic money checking unit 231, unacceptable coins are sequentially returned to the coin placing member 216A via the coin outlet 212A.

[3] Each time a coin for returning or paying is placed on the coin placing member 216A, the second opening / closing driving member 216B is operated based on the output from the timing means 90A which constitutes an example of the take-out determination means. Operates the collection operation of coins that are activated and forgotten.

[4] By inputting the recovery signal from the first storage amount detecting means 240, the denomination coins stored in the denomination storing portion 205 are collected in the storage portion 209, and the decrease amount detecting means 241 The coins stored in the storage unit 209 by inputting the replenishment signal from
Recycle the coins in the device by replenishing 05.

[5] It is determined whether or not the staff code number input from the ten-key pad 286 by the staff operation matches the staff code number registered in advance. If they do not match, at least the collection processing by the staff is disabled.

Next, the operation of the coin processing unit 200 will be described.

In this unit, a discharge process for paying coins to the user and a deposit process for depositing coins inserted by the user are performed based on the user operation. Note that when the number of coins accommodated in the denomination accommodating portion 205 reaches a predetermined amount at the stage when the receiving process or the releasing process is performed, the collecting process and the replenishing process are automatically performed. In addition, the loading process, the replenishing process, the collecting process, the scrutiny process, which are based on the staff operation,
There is a check process for the current amount.

FIG. 13 (a) is an explanatory diagram showing a coin transporting route in the receiving process, and the route shown by a solid line is a transporting route until the coin inserted into the coin inlet / outlet 201 is stored in the denomination-based storage box 235. , The route indicated by the broken line is for inserting and withdrawing coins that cannot be accepted as a result of the discrimination by the electronic money checking unit 231.
It is a route to return to 2. When a coin is inserted into the input / output coin introduction unit 202, the coin placing member 216A is rotated in the arrow Y ₁ direction via the second opening / closing drive member 216B, and the input coin is once moved to the coin holding unit 221A. After that, the coin holding member 216A is returned to the horizontal state. After this state is achieved, the coins are sent to the electronic coin prosecution section 231 via the receiving and conveying path 204. Items that can be accepted as a result of the discrimination by the electronic money checking unit 231 are stored in the denomination-specific storage box 235 for each denomination. If the result of the determination is that the coin cannot be accepted, the coin is introduced through the withdrawal / conveyance path 207 and the coin introducing section 2
Returned to 02. Since all of the input coins are once transferred to the coin holding unit 221A in this way, unacceptable coins can be returned before all the input coins reach the electronic inspection section 231, and the coin receiving process can be efficiently performed. It becomes possible to do it. It should be noted that the number of coins of each coin stored in the storage box 235 of each coin by the receiving process is stored in the storage area MC of the number of coins based on a detection signal from the electronic coin checking section 231.

FIG. 13 (b) is an explanatory view showing the coin transporting route in the discharging process, and the route shown by the solid line is the inserting / withdrawing coin introducing section 20.
This is a route for collecting the coins forgotten in 2 into the forgotten coin storage unit 203. Withdrawal of coins from the denomination-specific storage box 235 is performed with the designated denomination if the denomination is designated by the user, and if there is no denomination designated, the minimum number method is applied. It will be done with the denomination calculated from the amount of money (total payment). The dispensed coins selected in this way are taken out from the denomination-based storage box 235 and sent to the input / output coin introduction unit 202 via the discharge transport path 207. When the coin for dispensing is fed, the coin door 214A is rotated in the direction of arrow Z ₁ so that the user can take out the coin.
When the user's hand is thrown into the input / output coin introducing unit 202, the hand is detected by the first optical sensor 217A or the second optical sensor 217. When the user's hand holding the coin is withdrawn from the insertion / withdrawal coin introducing unit 202 and is no longer detected by the first optical sensor 217A and the second optical sensor 217B, the timing means 90A is activated. If the user's hand is not detected again until the time measured by the time measuring means 90A reaches a predetermined time, for example, 10 seconds, it is determined that the coin has been taken out, and the coin door 214A is closed. When the user's hand is again detected within 10 seconds, the time measuring means 90A clears the time measuring time, and after the hand is no longer detected, the time measuring means 90A is operated in the same manner as above and the same operation is repeated. By performing such an operation, it becomes possible to take out coins in several times. And time keeping means 90A
When it is determined that the removal of the coin is completed, the coin 214A is closed, the coin placing portion 216A is rotated in the arrow Y ₁ direction, and the sliding gate member 226A is indicated by the arrow.
It is rotated in the X ₁ direction to recover the forgotten coins.
At this time, if there is a forgotten coin on the coin placing member 216A, it is dropped and stored in the forgotten coin storage box 227. Since such an operation of collecting uncollected coins is performed every time without directly detecting the uncollected coins, the uncollected coins remain in the input / extract coin introduction unit 202 and reach the hand of the next user. It is possible to surely prevent the unreasonableness of being lost. Note that the number of coins of each coin type extracted from the denomination-specific storage box 235 by the discharging process is calculated from the designated denomination and the total payment amount when the denomination is specified by the user, and when the denomination is not specified. Is calculated based on the total payment amount by applying the minimum number method, and the calculated number of coins by denomination is stored in the withdrawal number storage area MD for each discharging process.

FIG. 13 (c) is an explanatory diagram showing the coin transporting route in the collecting process, and the arrow indicated by the solid line is the collecting route leading to the storage unit 209. When the coin-type coins stored in the coin-type accommodating box 235 have increased to a predetermined amount and a recovery signal is output from the first storage amount detecting means 240, or on the staff operation unit 280 by a staff member's operation. Recovery switch 283
Is operated, the accommodating areas 235A, 235B, 235C, 235D, 235E of the denomination-specific accommodating box 235 accommodating the denomination-type coins are operated.
The denomination-type coins are taken out from and are collected in the storage unit 209 via the collecting and conveying path 208. It should be noted that the number of coins of each coin type taken out from the storage box 235 of each type by the recovery process is counted by the first counting means 238 provided at the upper end of the dispensing chute 236, and the replenishment / replenishment is performed every time the recovery process is performed. It is stored in the corresponding replenishment / collection number division storage area (1) BM, ..., (n) BM in the collection number storage area MB. In addition, the number of denomination-type coins that have been collected is subtracted from the theoretical number storage area ME, and this value is stored.

FIG. 13 (d) is an explanatory diagram showing a coin transportation route in the replenishment process, and an arrow indicated by a solid line is a replenishment route from the storage unit 209 to the denomination-based storage box 235. Gold type storage box 2
When the coin type coins stored in 35 are reduced to a predetermined amount and a replenishment signal is output from the reduction amount detecting means 241, or when a replenishment switch 282 on the clerk operation unit 280 is operated by a clerk operation. , 7th conveyor belt 2
The coins stored in the storage unit 209 are transferred to the third opening from the delivery opening 251B by driving the 52 and the sixth conveyance number regulation roller 253.
Are discharged onto the transport belt 224 of the. The released coins are replenished in the denomination-specific storage box 235 via the coin inspection unit 231 and the outer shape selection unit 234 as in the case of depositing. The number of denomination-type coins replenished in the denomination-type storage box 235 by the replenishment process is stored in the replenishment / collection number storage area MB based on the information relating to the denomination and the number of coins detected by the electronic inspection section 231. . This storage is performed for the corresponding supplementary / recovered sheet number divided storage areas (1) BM, ..., (n) BM in the supplementary / recovered sheet number storage area MB every time the supplementary processing is performed similarly to the recovery processing. In this way, the coins to be supplied for the replenishment process are conveyed so as to merge with the receiving and conveying path 204, and are then counted and replenished in the same manner as the receiving process, so that the number of replenishment coins and the denomination can be surely guaranteed. As a result, the inconvenience of replenishing from the front side coin inlet or outlet or directly replenishing a predetermined number of coins sorted according to denomination to the denomination storing box is eliminated. Further, the number of denomination-type coins that have been replenished is added to the theoretical number memory area ME and this value is stored.

As is clear from the above description of the collection process and the replenishment process, in the coin processing unit 200, when the collection signal is output, the coins stored in the denomination-based storage box 235 can be collected in the storage unit 209, Moreover, when the replenishment signal is output, the coins stored in the storage unit 209 can be replenished in the denomination-based storage box 235, so that the recycling efficiency of the coins in the unit 200 can improve the operation efficiency of the unit.

The loading process is performed by the clerk pressing the loading switch 281 on the clerk operation unit 280, and the coin inserted by the clerk from the introduction opening 251A before the start of the business is the first.
It is carried out by being transported along the replenishment route shown in FIG. 13D and being accommodated in the denomination-specific accommodation box 235. The number of loaded coins of each denomination is based on the information related to the denomination and the number of coins detected by the electronic coin checking section 231, and the loaded coin number storage area MA
Are stored for each denomination.

Next, the overall operation of the coin processing unit 200 will be described with a focus on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b).

First, it is determined whether it is a clerk operation, if it is a clerk operation, it is determined whether it is a loading process, if it is not a loading process, it is determined whether it is loaded, and if it is a loading process, it is a recovery process. If it is not a collection process, it is determined whether it is a replenishment process, if it is not a replenishment process, it is determined whether it is a scrutiny process, and if it is not a scrutiny process, it is determined whether it is an inventory confirmation process. If it is not a confirmation process, it is returned to the original.

If it is a loading process, it is judged whether or not it has been scrutinized.
It is determined whether all the storage areas shown in the figure have been cleared, and the loading process is accepted only when the inspection has been completed. After the loading process is accepted, the staff will
The staff member code number of the staff member is entered through the ten keys 286 shown in the figure. The control unit 90 collates and judges whether the inputted staff code number matches the staff code number registered in advance, and if the collation coincides, executes the designated loading process. Gives an alarm. Although the content of the loading process is as described above, the number of denomination-type coins loaded in the denomination-specific storage box 235 is the number of loaded denomination storage area MA.
The theoretical number memory area ME for storing the theoretical number of coins of coins of this type stored in this unit.
Is also memorized. At the same time, the staff code number of the staff is also stored. After that, the input / output processing based on the user's operation becomes practically possible.

When the collection process is selected by the clerk, the clerk's clerk code number is first entered by the clerk via the ten-key pad 286 shown in FIG. 11 as described above. The control unit 90 collates and judges whether the inputted staff code number matches the staff code number registered in advance, and executes the collection process designated by pressing the collection switch 283 only when the collation coincides. To do. Although the content of the collecting process is as described above, the number of coins of the denominations collected in the storage unit 209 corresponds to the corresponding divided storage area of the replenishment / collection number storage area MB (replenishment / collection number processing is the first time. If there is, a negative value is stored in the supplemental / collected number of sheets divided storage area (1) MB, (1) MB, ..., (n) MB, and the staff code number of the staff is also stored. At the same time, the number of denominations stored in the replenishment / recovery number storage area MB is the theoretical number storage area ME.
The subtraction process is performed from the number of coins stored in.

When the replenishment process is selected by the clerk, the clerk's clerk code number is first input by the clerk via the ten-key pad 286 shown in FIG. 11 as described above. The control unit 90 executes the replenishment process designated by pressing the replenishment switch 282 only when it matches the inputted clerk code number. The content of the replenishment process is as described above. First, the number of sheets stored in all the divided areas of the replenishment / collection number storage area MB is accumulated for each denomination, and when the accumulated value is a negative value (collection process The number of coins of the denomination is less than that value. The number of denomination-type coins replenished in the denomination-specific storage box 235 is the corresponding divided storage area of the replenishment / collection number storage area MB (replenishment / collection number division storage area (2 if replenishment / collection processing is the second time ) MB) (1) MB,
, (N) MB is stored as a positive value, and the number of denominations is added to the number of denominations stored in the theoretical number storage area ME.

When the scrutinizing process is selected by the clerk, the clerk's clerk code number is first input by the clerk via the ten-key pad 286 shown in FIG. 11 as described above. The control unit 90 collates and judges whether the inputted staff code number matches the staff code number registered in advance, and executes the detailed examination processing designated by pressing the detailed examination switch 284 only in the case where they match. To do. The details of the scrutinizing process are as follows. The coins are collected in the storage unit 209 through the same route as described with reference to FIG. 13 (c), and at that time, the number-of-coins and theoretical number storage area counted by the first counting unit 238. If it matches with the number of denominations stored in ME, it is judged that all denominations match, "Seisa OK" is printed out, and if they do not match, "Seisa NG" does not match And print out. After printing out, all the storage areas shown in FIG. 12 are cleared.

Since the above-mentioned collection processing, replenishment processing, loading processing, and scrutiny processing by the clerk are executed only when the inputted clerk code numbers match, it is possible to avoid unnecessary trouble in managing the money and the processing. Moreover, even if the results of the detailed examination are inconsistent, it is possible to smoothly investigate the staff.

No. 12 if the attendance checker selects the presence check processing
All stored contents in the storage area shown in the figure are printed out. Note that the printout is the same as in the case of the detailed examination process described above, but the printout is not printed on the roll paper 53 in the card passbook processing unit 10, but is performed by a staff member.
It will be done on a single slip inserted from the rear of 10 (collection box 60 side). In this way, in the presence confirmation process, the supplemental / collected number of sheets divided storage area (1) shown in FIG.
Since all the memory contents stored in MB, ..., (n) MB are printed out with the contents of each replenishment process and recovery process, the history of replenishment process and recovery process can be traced. As a result, it becomes possible to easily and surely investigate the cause of the disagreement inconsistency which occurs when the collected coins are taken out to another device.

In the flow chart shown in FIG. 14 (a), when it is determined that the operation is not the attendant operation, that is, the customer operation, the flow proceeds to the flow shown in FIG. 14 (b).

The transaction selection by the user is one of depositing with banknotes and coins, depositing only with banknotes, depositing with only coins or payment, and the selection is the instruction unit 76A, 76 shown in FIG. 9 (d).
This is done by pressing B, 76C, 76D.

When depositing by banknotes and coins is selected, passbook insertion, passbook check, coin opening / closing 202, coin insertion, coin inlet / outlet 202 closing, banknote inlet / outlet 4 opening, banknote insertion, banknote inlet / outlet 4 closing, banknote counting, Operations such as coin counting, amount display, amount confirmation, passbook printing, and passbook ejection are sequentially performed and processed. In the process of this processing, first open the coin door 214A, and after the coin is inserted, the coin door 214A is closed, and then the bill door 12
Banknote door open / close mechanism 120 and coin door open / close mechanism so that 3 is opened
Since 214 are controlled, it is possible to reliably prevent coins from being inserted into the bill inlet / outlet 4 and bills from being inserted into the coin inlet / outlet 202. Further, since the coin inlet / outlet 202 also serves as a coin inlet / outlet, the user does not need to bend when taking out coins as in the conventional case, and can insert and take out coins in the same posture.

When depositing with only banknotes is selected, operations such as bankbook insertion, bankbook check, banknote doorway 4 open, banknote insertion, banknote doorway 4 closed, banknote counting, amount display, amount confirmation, communication, passbook printing, passbook discharge Are sequentially performed and processed.

When depositing by coins only is selected, passbook insertion, passbook check, coin opening / closing 202, coin insertion, coin opening / closing 202, coin counting, amount display, amount confirmation, communication, passbook printing, passbook ejection, etc. Are sequentially performed and processed.

When payment is selected, card insertion, password input, password verification, amount input, communication, banknote processing unit operation, coin processing unit operation, slip printing / issue, banknote opening / closing, banknote withdrawing, banknote opening / closing, coin The operations such as opening the door, removing the coin, timing the coin, closing the door, and ejecting the card are sequentially performed and processed.

In addition, the collection process and the replenishment process are automatically performed even when the customer can select a transaction. These processes are performed when the transaction selection by the user is not accessed to the coin processing unit 200 or the bill processing unit 9. The recovery process at this time is the first storage amount detecting means 24.
This is performed when the collection signal is output from 0, and the number of coins of the denominations collected is stored in the replenishment / collection number storage area MB at the same time as the collection processing by the clerk, and simultaneously in the theoretical number storage area ME. On the other hand, the subtraction process is performed. Since the collection at this time is automatic, the clerk code number is not stored but the code number indicating the automatic collection is stored instead. Further, the replenishment process at this time is performed when the replenishment signal is output from the decrease amount detecting means 241, and the number of replenished denomination-type coins is the same as the replenishment process by the clerk. It is stored in the MB, and at the same time, an addition process is performed on the theoretical number storage area ME. Since the replenishment process at this time is automatic, the clerk code number is not stored, but instead, the code number indicating automatic replenishment is stored. Note that the replenishment process is performed for coins of a predetermined denomination, but since the coins for replenishment are carried by mixed denominations, coins other than the replenishment denominations pass through the denomination storage box 235 and are then stored again. The processing is returned to 209, and the replenishment process is completed by replenishing a predetermined number of the replenishment denomination coins.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. The second
The banknote detection sensor 142 is an example of a detection unit that counts a predetermined number of rejected tickets for stopping the drive of the device, and is not limited to this, and the inspection unit 20 counts the number of rejected tickets and sets a predetermined number. The drive of the apparatus may be stopped and controlled when the time is reached. Further, the present invention is not limited to the one in which the paper sheet input port and the paper sheet exit port are common, and at least the paper sheet delivery transport path passes through a part of the paper sheet intake transport path. This has the significance of stopping the drive of the device.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the delivery transport path for delivering the paper sheets to the outside from the rejected paper sheet stacking means passes through a part of the paper sheet intake transport path. However, even when the number of rejected paper sheets reaches a predetermined number, the drive of the device is stopped and the remaining rejected paper sheets are returned to change the capacity of the rejected paper sheet stacking means. It is possible to provide a paper sheet conveying apparatus that can achieve downsizing of the apparatus without increasing the size. Moreover, by configuring the rejected paper sheet stacking means as an intermittent transfer means for sequentially stacking and stacking by shifting the transporting tips of the paper sheets, the stacked paper sheets can be reasonably transported at high speed, and the impeller etc. The size of the device can be reduced as compared with the accumulating means.
