The route is changed by the seventh sorting gate 39g via the, and the sheets are accumulated in the accumulating section 301c of the safe 18 as a 5,000-yen store and pushed into each accumulating and accommodating section.

Further, the bill A, which is discriminated as one to be rejected by the inspection section 36 at the time of loading, is sorted upward by the first sorting gate 39a and passed through the second and third sorting gates 39b and 39c. It is returned to the loading safe 19 or accumulated in the temporary withdrawal accumulation unit 37.

When the coins are accumulated in the temporary withdrawal accumulating unit 37, the ticket (replacement ticket) that has been taken out of the loading box 19 and passed through the second distribution gate 39b and the reject ticket are the second distribution gate 39b and the third distribution gate 39b. In some cases, when a reject ticket is generated, the removal is immediately stopped, and the reject ticket is removed again after passing through the transport path R4. Or a removed ticket (replacement ticket) and a reject ticket are conveyed in an overlapped state and accumulated in the temporary withdrawal accumulation section 37 as they are.

When the bills A in the loading storage 19 are exhausted, the loading operation ends.

When a reject ticket is generated,
The reject ticket is stored in the banknote storage chamber 4 from the temporary withdrawal collection unit 37.
After being conveyed to 54, picked up one by one by the take-in roller 403a, and again inspected by the inspecting section 36, the denomination-determined ticket is the first first sorting gate 39.
It is guided to the lower unit 14b by a and is stored in the safes 16, 17, 18 for each denomination.

Here, the ticket rejected again is the first
Is guided downward by the sorting gate 39a of No. 11 and is accumulated and stored in the collection box 29 of the reject storage 21 via the sixth sorting gate 39f, the tenth sorting gate 38j, the eleventh sorting gate 39k, and the twelfth sorting gate 39l. It

It is adapted to be collected and collected in the collection box 29 of the reject storage 21 via l.

Next, during the replenishment, the loading, or the allocation of the above-mentioned banknote A (the allocation is carried out by checking all the safes 16 to 18).
The process of counting when an error such as a banknote jam occurs in the process of counting the amount of money in the device) will be described.

As shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, when the banknote A conveyed along the conveying path R2 during loading or allocation is jammed in the conveying path R2 and the conveying abnormality occurs, the conveying drive motor 91 is turned off. It As a result, the transportation of the banknote A is stopped, but at this time, the timing of the operation of the gate or the like cannot be met in time, and the banknote A is transferred to the money-type safes 16 to 18.
May enter any of the. For example, if the banknote A enters the denomination-specific safe 17 due to a malfunction of the gate 39h, it is impossible to know how many denominations of banknotes have been inserted in the control, and the count of the denomination-specific safe 17 becomes uncertain. . However, at this time, the bill 40 that enters the denomination-specific safe 17 is detected by the detector 40x, and the detection signal is sent to the determination means 45, and the denomination-specific safe 17 is determined to be a safe that requires recounting. In this way, when it is determined that the money-type safe 17 is a safe that requires recounting, the fact is notified to the operator by a lamp (not shown) or the like.

On the other hand, since the bill A does not enter the other money-type safes 16 and 18, the bills A are not detected by the detectors 40w and 40y, and the discriminating means 45 judges that the recount is unnecessary, and The figures are fixed and guaranteed.

Therefore, the operator is the safe 16
It is only necessary to re-count only the safe 17 that is determined to be re-counted without re-counting about 18 to 18, and it is possible to greatly reduce the burden on the operator.

[0074]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When a conveyance error occurs during bill conveyance by the conveyance means,
It is determined that the storage unit in which the entry of the bill is detected by the detection unit is a storage unit that requires recounting, and the storage unit in which the entry of the bill is not detected by the detection unit is a storage unit that does not require recounting. Since it is equipped with a discriminating means for guaranteeing the counting, it is not necessary to re-count all the storage units as in the conventional case, and only the storage units that need to be re-counted can be re-counted. And the downtime of the device can be shortened.
