Reference numeral 85 denotes a rejected banknote counter, which counts the number of rejected banknotes by counting up with a signal from the detector 74 in response to a signal from the banknote discrimination section 83. Reference numeral 86 denotes a genuine banknote conveyance path counter, which receives a signal from the detector 71 to indicate when the count is over! By doing so, the number of banknotes conveyed on the genuine banknote conveyance path 40 is counted. Reference numeral 87 denotes a rejected banknote conveyance path counter, which counts up the number of banknotes conveyed in the rejected banknote conveyance path 41 by counting up in response to a signal from the detector 22.

Reference numeral 88 denotes a control section, which controls the entire system, and includes a register 89 for the number of banknotes requested to be discharged, a save register 90 for the number of banknotes required to be discharged, and the like.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when a customer wants to receive payment by following the operating instructions on the CRT display 4, he or she inserts his/her ID card, enters his/her PIN number, and enters the payment amount, for example, 110,000 yen (of which 10,000 yen is a thousand yen bill). shall be keyed in. Then, the control unit 88 causes the registers 119 and 911 to store the number of coins to be paid out: 10 million yen notes and 10 thousand yen notes. Then, when the control unit 88 drives the take-out mechanism 15, it takes out one banknote P from the first cash withdrawal box 13 and conveys it through the first conveyance path 27m. When the bill detector 18 detects the withdrawal, the bill counter 81 counts up.

When the rear end of the banknote P faces the banknote detector 18, the controller 88 drives the takeout mechanism 15 again based on the signal from the detector 18, thereby taking out the banknote P in the first cash withdrawal box 13. It is conveyed by the first conveyance path 171. When the bill detector 18 detects that the bill P is taken out, the bill detector 18 counts up the number of bills taken out. Thereafter, each time the rear end of the banknote P faces the banknote detector 18, a banknote P is taken out from the first payout box 13, and each time a banknote is detected by the banknote detector 18, the taken-out number counter 81 counts up. be done.

By the way, the count number of the taken-out sheet number counter 81 is supplied to the control section 88. As a result, the control section 88 uses the count number of the counter 81 and the contents of the register 89, that is, "1".
0'', and when they match, the removal of banknotes P from the first cash withdrawal box 13 is prohibited.

Further, the banknotes P that are transported along the first transport path lr& are transported via the common transport path 1111. At this time, when the banknote P passes through the banknote detector 20, thickness detection, magnetism detection, etc. are performed, and the banknote discrimination section 83 determines whether the banknote is a genuine banknote or a rejected banknote. If the discrimination result is a genuine banknote, a genuine banknote signal from the banknote discrimination section 8s is supplied to the genuine banknote counter 84, so that the counter #4 is transferred to the banknote detector 74.
If the discrimination result is a rejected banknote, the rejected banknote signal from the banknote discriminator 83 is supplied to the rejected banknote counter 85, so that the counter 85 is counted up by the signal from the banknote detector 74. It will be counted up.

Thereafter, when the discrimination of the banknotes P taken out from the first cash withdrawal box 13 is completed, the control unit 88 controls the rejected banknote counter 85
When the content is not "0", the count content is stored in the register 89, and the withdrawal operation from the first cash withdrawal box 13 is performed in accordance with the stored content in the same manner as the withdrawal operation described above. This operation is repeated 9 times until the content of the banknote counter 85 becomes "0". However, when the number of times of withdrawal exceeds a predetermined number of times, the withdrawal is stopped and processing in the event of an error is performed. Further, the control unit 88 controls the rejected banknote counter, and the content of the banknote counter 86 is "0".
”, register 90. The contents of genuine bill counter 84 and counter 86 are compared.

Next, the banknotes that have passed through the banknote detector 74 are further transported by the common transport path 17e and are transported from the first banknote transport section 29 to the second unit fff Jjb side. The banknotes P which are sequentially conveyed to the second unit, tote M, and 12b sides are taken into the take-in conveyance path 31 from the banknote receiving section 35 and conveyed, and the leading edge of the banknote P is detected by the zero banknote detector 39. If the banknote is a genuine banknote P with no overlap, the controller 8
At step 8, the first sorting machine y-toss is tilted to the left and the banknote P is fed into the genuine banknote transport path ioK. At this time, as the conveyance of the banknote P is detected by the banknote detector 71, the genuine banknote conveyance path counter 86 is counted up. Then, it is conveyed to the temporary accumulation section 51 via the impellers io and go, and is transferred to the separation station/462. ! 52, it is separated from the impellers so and go, falls downward, and is accumulated on a conveyor belt 53, 61 which is running in the counter-dispensing direction and is used for both dispensing and collecting.

Further, when the leading edge of the banknote P is detected by the paper/banknote detector 39, if it is a stacked banknote P, the control unit 8
8 tilts the first sorting y-toss to the right side and sends the banknote P to the reso-extract storage 70 via the rejected banknote conveyance path 41. At this time, the conveyance of the banknote P is detected by the banknote detector 12. As a result, the counted contents of the rejected banknote conveyance path counter 81 are updated.

Accordingly, the control unit 88 calculates the sum of the count contents of the genuine banknote counter 84 and the rejected banknote counter 85 as the counter 116.
117, it is determined that the withdrawal of ten thousand yen banknotes from the first cash withdrawal box 13 is complete. Also,
When the sum of the count contents of the counters 84 and 85 does not match the sum of the count contents of the counters sg and sy even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the last banknote P taken out was detected by the banknote detector 14. , the control unit 88 performs processing at the time of death. Also, when the removal of ten thousand yen bills from the first cash withdrawal box 13 is completed, each counter is set to reset, toshi, and second cash withdrawal box 14. The mechanism 15 for removing thousand yen banknotes from the bank is driven until the content of the takeout counter 82 reaches "10", and thereafter the thousand yen banknotes are removed using the same control means as in the case of taking out ten thousand yen banknotes. Do the following.

Then, when the removal of the 1,000 yen banknotes is completed, the separation stop 4j29111 rotates to transfer the banknotes P accumulated in the temporary stacking section 51 to the conveyor belt ss, 5str, which serves both for dispensing and collecting the banknotes.
While pressing c, the conveyor belts tts and ss run in the payout direction, and the banknotes P... temporarily accumulated in the stacking section 51 are taken out all at once and conveyed to the payout port 10 side.

When the bill detector 65 detects the leading edge of the bill p, the control unit 81 and the solenoid 3 are driven to open the shutter 64, and the bill detector 62 detects the rear end of the bill p. When it is detected, the control unit 88 stops the conveying operation, and the front end of the banknote P... is in the state where the JIIC protrudes from the dispensing port 1 (JIIC) or the state where the rear end side is pinched by the conveyor belts ss, sx and the pinch roller 6o. Payment is made to the customer.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the edge of the bill taken out from the withdrawal safe reaches the bill detector for detecting withdrawal, 1
Although the next bill is taken out from the withdrawal safe, the next bill can be taken out by detecting the passage C of the bill at any position between the withdrawal safe and the bill detector. In addition, the 1,000 yen bill was taken out after the 10,000 yen bill had been taken out, but if a genuine banknote counter and a rejected banknote counter were provided for each 10,000 yen banknote and 1,000 yen banknote, it would be possible to remove the 10,000 yen banknote. , 1,000 yen bills may be taken out continuously, and then taken out again according to the value of each rejected ticket counter. If so, the two types of banknotes can be ejected without mixing. Furthermore, although it has two types of withdrawal safes for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes, it is also possible to implement withdrawal safes for storing two or more types of banknotes. Effects of the Invention As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to discharge the requested number of bills to be discharged at a higher speed than before, and the time required for one payment operation can be shortened. equipment can be provided.
