Next, we will explain the operation of i5! in such a configuration. I will clarify. For example, now, the operator welfare motor designation switch 21 is set to sort mode, and the 100-sheet sorting key 2a is pressed down.

Accordingly, the control unit 100 lights up the 100-sheet sorting key 28.

Next, the banknotes P are put into the slot 6 in a standing position with their directions aligned, and the counting start key 2S is pressed. Then,
The control section 100 drives the mechanism control section 104 and lights up the counting start key 2J. Accordingly, the banknote P is conveyed to the detection unit 15 on the longitudinal conveyance path 9, and the detection unit 15 detects the denomination and authenticity of the banknote P that has been conveyed.

Detects damage, etc. As a result, the banknotes P are sorted into separate temporary stacking sections 111, -=-, for each denomination, according to the result of the amount determination. The control unit 100 also controls the temporary accumulation unit 111.
．． . . . The number of coins of each denomination sorted and accumulated is counted, and the 100-sheet detector 10B indicates the number of stitches, and the counted number is displayed on the corresponding number display 4Ja.

Take out the banknotes P from the temporary stacking section where 0 bills are stacked. At this point, the control unit 100 detects whether the banknotes P in the temporary stacking section where 100 bills have been stacked are correctly removed using the residual detector 90@,
Judgment is made based on the detection signal from 902.90m*904. For example, when 100 banknotes of 10,000 rolls are stacked in the temporary stacking section 111 and the stacked banknotes P are removed from the temporary stacking section 111, the residual detection signal from the residual detector 9ol is no longer output. Accordingly, the control unit 1001

≧・/: 1・90m, if the residual detection signal from 904 is output but not above, the control unit 100 determines that the correct extraction has been performed, and clears the counting contents.

In addition, when 100 sheets of 10,000 volumes are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 111, temporary accumulation sections 1 other than the temporary accumulation section 111
When the stacked banknotes P are removed from 11, the residual detector 90 of the temporary stacking section 111 that should not be removed. The residual detection signal is no longer output. As a result, the control unit 100
determines that the WA accumulation has been removed, flashes the sheet number display 41b corresponding to the temporary accumulation section 113, and causes the printer 102 to issue a journal in which the erroneous extraction code, for example r8501J, is printed. Note that when the banknotes P stored in the other temporary stacking units 11s and 114 are mistakenly removed, and when the banknotes P are removed from the other temporary stacking units 11s and 114,

When 100 banknotes P are stacked at 11@, 11', and the banknotes P stored in other temporary stacking sections are mistakenly pulled out, the control unit 100 also prevents them from being pulled out by mistake. The sheet number display corresponding to the temporary accumulation section is flashed, and the printer 102 is made to issue a shanal with the 1-picked code printed thereon.

B, if the 234 banknotes P are correctly taken out,
By pressing the counting start key 23 again, the mechanism control section 10.4 is activated, and thereafter operates in the same manner as described above. When the number of sheets has been sorted, the operator inserts the return key 2j and returns the temporary stacking section 111. Take out the banknotes P.

Then, the control unit 100 causes the printer 102 to issue a number-of-sheets classification journal.

Next, the operator turned on the mode designation switch, but it is possible to perform the same operation with other numbers of sheets.

Further, as a withdrawal detector, an optical sensor may be provided in the withdrawal direction of the temporary stacking section, and this sensor may detect whether one bill or a bill has been withdrawn when a finger is inserted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a very convenient cash sorting and tallying machine that can sort a predetermined number of coins for each denomination and prevent erroneous operations.
