After passing the turn sensor 72, the banknote 14 reaches the stack sensor 73 in step S9, sampling of the stack data is started in step S10, and the overlap of the banknote 14 is detected, and the banknote 14 is completely removed. When the bill 14 passes through the bill sensor 73, the rear end of the bill 14 is
In step S11, the conveyance control circuit 70 stops the drive signal to the sending motor 63, and the operation of the sending motor 63 is stopped. Next, the transport control circuit 70 determines whether or not the banknote 14 has completely passed the turn sensor 72 in step S12 and the turn sensor 72 has been turned off. Ends the sampling of the ticket length data. When the conveyance sensor 74 is turned on in step S14, sampling of the multi-sheet data is terminated in step S15. The transport control circuit 70
In step S16, the ticket length is checked from the output of the turn sensor 72, and if the bill 14 has a predetermined length, the process proceeds to step S17, and if not, the process proceeds to step S18. In step S17, the transport control circuit 70 checks the output from the photoelectric sensor 72b to check whether or not the banknotes 14 are being transported in an overlapped state. If so, the process proceeds to step S18. In step 18, the transport control circuit 70 sends a drive signal to the actuator 27 to rotate the switching lever 26 upward, thereby switching the transport path 24 from the discharge path 24a to the recovery path 24b. For this reason, the bills 14
4 to the collection passage 24b and, as shown in FIG. 9, the drive gear is connected to the planetary gear 30 and the take-up gear 54 is rotating. The bill 14 is conveyed into the storage room 8. When the rear end of the bill 14 completely passes through the transport sensor 74,
When the transport sensor 74 is turned off in step S19, the transport control circuit 70 drives the transport motor 23 with a constant pulse in step S20, and then returns to step S2.
After the transport motor 23 is turned off in step 1,
Proceed to 28. When the bills 14 have a predetermined length in step 16 and the bills 14 do not overlap in step 17, the actuator 27 does not operate, so the switching lever 26 connects the transport path 24 to the discharge path 24a. Therefore, the bill 14 passing through the transport passage 24 is discharged from the outlet 1a through the discharge sensor 60. The transport control circuit 70 determines whether the discharge sensor 60 is on and whether the transport sensor 74 is off in steps S22 and S23. When the discharge sensor 60 is turned on and the conveyance sensor 74 is turned off, the conveyance control circuit 70 outputs a payout signal (FIG. 10) in step S24, and then drives the conveyance motor 23 with a constant pulse. Turn off. In this way, the banknotes 14 stored in the storage box 2 are discharged to the outside of the storage box 2 from the outlet 2a by the rotation of the delivery roller device 5, and the banknotes 14 discharged from the storage box 2 are collected by the transport device 3. It is conveyed toward the outlet 1a. The transport control circuit 70 determines whether or not the discharge sensor 60 has been turned off in step S27, and if it has been turned off, jumps to step S3. As described above, in the present invention, the storage box 2 for storing a plurality of banknotes 14 is provided.
Is accommodated in the case 1 so as to be able to be taken out, and the unusual bills 14 are accommodated in the storage room 8 of the storage box 2 by the take-in roller device 7, so that the paper sheet dispensing device can be manufactured in a small size. In other words, when an abnormal payout occurs, the size of the apparatus can be reduced and the price can be reduced by directly collecting the abnormal payout in the storage box 2 instead of separately providing a collecting unit for collecting the abnormal payout. Various changes can be made to the embodiment of the present invention. For example, an optical sensor or a magnetic sensor for bill discrimination can be used as the checker 4 instead of the multi-sheet sensor 73. By detecting the optical or magnetic characteristics of the bill 14 passing through the checker 4 by such an optical sensor or a magnetic sensor, it can be determined whether or not the bill 14 is in a normal state. When the banknote 14 is determined to be in the normal state by the checker 4, the banknote 14 is discharged from the outlet 1 a through the switching device 9. When the checker 4 determines that the banknote 14 is not in the normal state, the banknote 14 is sent to the entrance 2 b through the switching device 9. It is stored in the storage room 8 by the roller device 7.

As described above, according to the present invention, a storage box for storing a plurality of paper sheets is removably accommodated in a case, and the unusual paper sheets are stored in a storage room of the storage box by a take-in roller device. Since it is accommodated, the paper sheet dispensing apparatus can be manufactured in a small size.

The bills 14 discharged from the outlet 2a of the storage box 2 to the transport device 3 are transported toward the outlet 1a by the transport belt 21 along the transport path 24 along the guide 22. The bill 14 is sent out by the deflecting device 6 and pressed against the roller device 5.
4 can be smoothly supplied to the transport device 3 from the outlet 2a of the storage box 2. At this time, since the transport motor 23 is driven, the pinion 23a, the first gear 41 to the fourth gear 44, the sun gear 29, and the other drive roller 20b are rotated, so that the transport belt 21 is rotated. . The bill 14 sandwiched between the roller 80b and the guide 22 passes through the turn sensor 72 and rotates the check lever 72a, so that the photoelectric sensor 72b gives an output to the transport control circuit 70 (Step S7). The transport control circuit 70 samples the ticket length data in step S8,
The length of the bill 14 is detected based on the pulse width from the photoelectric sensor 72b. After passing the turn sensor 72, the banknote 14 reaches the stack sensor 73 in step S9, sampling of the stack data is started in step S10, and the overlap of the banknotes 14 is detected.
Is completely separated from the roller 80b when the banknote 14 completely passes the stack sensor 73, the step S11 is executed.
The transport control circuit 70 stops the drive signal to the sending motor 63, and the operation of the sending motor 63 is stopped.

Next, the transport control circuit 70 executes step S1.
In 2, it is determined whether or not the banknote 14 has completely passed the turn sensor 72 and the turn sensor 72 has been turned off.
When the turn sensor 72 is turned off, the sampling of the note length data is terminated in step S13. Also, when the transport sensor 74 is turned on in step S14,
In step S15, sampling of the multi-sheet data is completed. The transport control circuit 70 checks the note length from the output of the turn sensor 72 in step S16, and proceeds to step S17 when the bill 14 has a predetermined length, and proceeds to step S18 when the bill 14 does not have the predetermined length. Proceed to. In step S17, the transport control circuit 70 checks the output from the photoelectric sensor 72b to determine whether or not the bills 14 are being transported in an overlapping state.
When does not overlap, the process proceeds to step S23, and when overlaps, the process proceeds to step S18. In step 18,
The transport control circuit 70 sends a drive signal to the actuator 27 to rotate the switching lever 26 upward,
Is switched from the discharge passage 24a to the recovery passage 24b. For this reason, the bill 14 moves from the transport passage 24 to the collection passage 24b and, as shown in FIG. 9, is driven and connected to the planetary gear 30 so that the take-in gear 54 is rotated. The bill 14 is sandwiched between the rollers 56 and
