Next, the depositing operation will be explained with reference to FIG. 2 and FIGS. 6 to 8, and the withdrawal operation will be explained with reference to FIG. 9.

First, the temporary deposit accumulation operation and removal operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 6. First, the banknote bundle A is placed in the banknote input unit 7.
Up to 400 pieces of ... can be set at once, with mixed denominations on both sides. At this time, the banknote bundle A... is the backup body 3
8 is pressed against the intake row 236 with an appropriate force.

Next, each conveyor belt constituting the banknote conveyance path 32 rotates by pressing down the start butane 9 of the operation unit 10, and after these conveyor belts reach a constant rotation speed, the take-in roller 36 is rotated by connection of an electromagnetic clutch (not shown). Then, start taking in one sheet per rotation starting from the one at the forefront. At this time, the first distribution -),? , 9 m is the intake conveyance section, 1
2a, the banknotes A are transferred to the central conveyance section 32.
It is switched to lead to the b side. The taken banknotes A are counted by the first banknote presence/absence detector 34h, the second banknote presence/absence detector 34b, 3'4e while shifting the passage of the banknotes, and then sent to the inspection section 30. It is sent.

Here, banknote discrimination is performed using a completely different method from the conventional discrimination method that captures partial characteristics. In other words, the "shorter length" and "longer length" of the entire banknote A [magnetic! ``evening matching'', ``color separation of transmitted light'', ``division matching of minute parts using reflected light'', etc. are carried out, and 4 types of discrimination are performed: ``distinguishing the ticket type,'' ``distinguishing authenticity,'' ``distinguishing whether it is good or bad,'' and ``distinguishing front and back.'' A functional inspection is performed while passing through the inspection section 30.

As a result, if there is a banknote A1 that is found to be "false" in the authenticity determination, that is, a banknote A that is overlapped, severely skewed, or damaged, and cannot be recognized as the correct banknote A, When the tip of the fourth banknote passing detector 54dK reaches the second sorting gate ssb, the second sorting gate ssb is rotated to the left. Then, the rejected banknote A that has reached the terminal end of the central conveyance section 32b is moved to the rear conveyance section 32c as shown by the broken line arrow.
The banknotes are conveyed through the banknotes to the banknote exit section 8 side.

At this time, an impeller 40.40 is rotating at a low speed in the banknote exit section 8, and the rejected banknote A, which has been conveyed at high speed, is once decelerated by this impeller 40.40, and the speed is significantly reduced. When they are sequentially stacked neatly on the pedestal 40,
Become.

On the other hand, the banknote A determined as "true" in the authenticity determination is guided to the front conveyance section JJd by the second oscillator 5sbK as shown by the solid arrow, and then the 5,000 yen banknote A is transferred to the third sorting 1')' 5.9 (l to the lower branch branch conveying section 32m leading to the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section J4, and the 10,000 yen bill A is transferred via the fourth sorting gate 33d. Ten thousand yen bill storage section!
The thousand yen banknotes A are transferred to the middle branch transfer section 32f leading to the bank 5, and the thousand yen banknotes A are transferred to the thousand yen banknote storage section I6 via the fifth sorting gate JJsi.
They are respectively guided to the upper branch branch conveyance section 32g. At this time, in each storage section 14, 15° 16, the Celsy 2 mechanism 24, 25, 26 is in the initial position, and both the upper and lower flies y''92&H92b*92C are holding the banknote A... There is a temporary storage section 27°28. in front of each stacking/retrieval device 21, 22.

Therefore, the banknotes A, which have been conveyed by the branch conveyance sections 32e, 32t, and 32g, that is, the conveyance belts 71, 72.73, and 76°77.78, are
Accumulation/removal device 21.22.2 as described above with reference to the figures.
They are accumulated in the temporary storage section 27, 28, 29 via the impellers 55, 56 rotating at low speed.

Next, when the bill presence/absence detector 35& detects that all the bills A in the bill input section 7 have been taken in, the bill presence/absence detector 34f detects whether or not there are bills A in the bill outlet section 8. , if there is banknote A, a message is displayed on the display section 13 to prompt it to be re-inserted. If there is no banknote A, the machine enters a confirmation step, and the temporarily stored banknote A... is stored in each storage section 14.1B, 16.
It is determined whether to store the banknotes A to be accumulated together with the banknotes A or to automatically return the banknotes A and return them to the banknote exit section 8.

Next, referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, the temporary storage section 21

Furthermore, since the detector 34f is installed at the position shown in the figure, the specified number of sheets is detected by the detector 341, counted, and taken in immediately, and even if the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 79 is turned off, one extra sheet will come out and be rejected. Fund efficiency will deteriorate.

Therefore, the detector 34f continuously rotates the rotating rotor until the designated number of bills minus 1 is counted, and then extracts the bills until the designated number of bills minus 1 is counted.After that, the rotating rotor is driven half a rotation to detect that bills have been taken out. When detected by the device 341, all capture ends.

That is, if one sheet of paper is to be dispensed, the rotors 60 and 67 serving as the extracting mechanism are rotated only half a rotation regardless of the detector 341. The banknote A... taken out in this way passes through the same banknote inspection section 3° as the banknote that was used for depositing, and then undergoes "bill type determination".
``Authority determination'', ``fitness determination'', and ``face/reverse determination'' are performed.

Regarding the above-mentioned "ticket type determination", it is not necessary for the tickets that have been inspected at the time of deposit, but the clerk may set the missing amount, so it cannot be said that there are no mistakes in setting, so it is necessary to re-appraise the ticket at the time of withdrawal.

For the same reason, it is necessary to re-examine the "authenticity determination" at the time of withdrawal. Also, since the characteristics of banknote A cannot be obtained by normal stacking, the banknotes are treated in the same way as counterfeit banknotes.

Regarding ``determination of fitness'', it is desirable to accept as much as possible deposits, no matter how dirty, as long as the banknotes are genuine and the type of banknote can be determined. These are called damaged banknotes and are returned to Shirogane and disposed of.

In order to pay customers, Totori must absolutely avoid using these damaged banknotes. For this reason, the entire banknote A must be inspected for damage at the time of withdrawal, and those that are defined as damaged banknotes, such as stains, tears, repairs with cellophane tape, and bent corners, must be rejected. These damaged banknotes that have been determined to be discarded are sent to the rotary (not shown) through the sorting gate 33b to the right when the tip of the banknote A reaches the detector 94d, as shown by the two-dot chain arrow in FIG. It is rotated by a solenoid and guided to the front conveyance section 32d for distribution)
3.1 e, while taking out banknote A, the solenoid is energized in the right direction and guides it to the 5,000 yen/rejected banknote storage section 14 □.

and accumulated.
1, that is, 5,000 yen/The excluded ticket bill storage section 15 is 5 when depositing.
Only 1,000 yen banknotes are accepted and accumulated, but when withdrawing, the banknotes that are judged to be unsuitable for payment as a result of the withdrawal process (the rejected banknotes are those determined to be damaged banknotes as described above) are accepted and accumulated. Become. In the normal payment operation, the payment is stopped once at the specified number of coins - 1, and the rotating rotor 60, 61 equipped with the extraction tips 60m, 61*, 60b, 61b is rotated an additional half turn to withdraw the predetermined number of coins. If there are any rejected banknotes, the rejected banknotes will not be counted and the withdrawal operation will continue.

Now, when the deposited banknotes A are set in the banknote slot 7, they are usually front and back, forward and reverse, and of mixed denominations, but at financial institution counters, when withdrawing money, they are always aligned with the front side. Therefore, the genuine banknote A rotates the distribution 'r'-Fssb to the left and enters the rear conveyance section 32e, but the banknote A is determined to be two sides by the inspection section 30 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. When the front end of the banknote A is determined to be a reverse side banknote and the tip of the banknote A reaches the detector 34h, the sorting gate 33f is rotated to the right and the banknote A is temporarily stacked on the pedestal 41 of the front/back reversing unit 3.

The impeller 39 is used for stacking in the front/back reversing section 31 in the same way as in the banknote outlet section 8. The banknotes A on the front side are not guided to the front-back reversing unit 31, but are stacked straight at the banknote outlet unit 8 as shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. After all the designated number of 10,000 yen banknotes have been accumulated in the banknote outlet section 8 or the front/back reversing section 3, the banknotes A... in the front/back reversing section 31 are moved by the pinch roller (not shown). are operated by a magnet, clamped by a belt, and conveyed all at once to the banknote outlet section 8. The impeller 40 at the banknote exit section normally has the function of slowing down the speed and gently guiding and accumulating banknotes that enter one by one at high speed, but it also has the ability to guide banknotes in a batch within a predetermined number. However, if this number is exceeded, they will fly out from the impeller 40 and cause stacking failure.

For this reason, during the operation of taking out banknotes A, the number of back banknotes A... from the inspection section 30 is counted, and even if the number of sheets taken in is within the specified number, once the number of back banknotes A... reaches the specified value, once the number of back banknotes A... After interrupting the stacking operation and transferring the genuine banknotes A from the front/back reversing part 31 to the banknote outlet part 8, the taking-out operation is continued again up to the specified number of bills.

In this way, the 10,000 yen bill A from the 10,000 yen bill storage section 15
When the loading is completed, repeat the same operation in the 1,000 yen bill storage section 16.
I will follow the 1,000 yen bill AK from. Then, the 1000 yen banknotes A... are stacked on top of the 10000 yen banknotes A..., and when all of the banknotes have been taken in, the conveyor belts 71172, 73, 76...
77.7 FJ and the vacuum pump are stopped. When the detector 35a detects that the teller has emptied this banknote A... and each motor 95 of the rotor mechanism 26.25
is rotated to advance the separator mechanism 26.25 until it is detected by the forward position detectors 101, 101, and then the rotary solenoid 93.94 is turned off.
F, set the flappers 92m, 92b, and 92c vertically, reverse the motor 95 again, and connect them via the wire 99.
4v l mechanism 26 * 25 is pulled back until it is detected by the initial position detectors 100, 100. Then, the state shown in FIG. 2 is established.

Regarding the 5,000 yen banknote storage section 14, if there is a Renoect banknote A, use exactly the same operation as the deposit accumulation operation to level the flat/4'92a, 92b, 92e and move the separator mechanism 24 forward. Tekara Furano Taira 9ff&
, 92b, 92e and return the separator mechanism 24 to its original initial position using the mall', it is possible to stack the deposited 5,000 yen banknotes A and the withdrawn banknotes A together. When a banknote A is taken out by the rotating rotor eo, 61 as a take-out mechanism, the banknote A is squeezed by the brake belt 89, 89 to prevent double taking and taken in one by one. The tip is stopped at a position slightly removed from 16. Therefore, if the operation of turning off the rotary solenoids 93 and 93 for raising the upper and lower flappers 92m, 92b, and 92c was performed immediately after loading, all banknotes A would be returned to the original position 1 (which cannot be pulled back). For this reason, after only the main shaft 50 holding the rotary rotor 60, 61 serving as a take-out mechanism is completed, it is reversed for a short time.

In this way, the brake belt to prevent double removal/j9,8
9 and extraction tip 60a, 61h or 60b, 61
Banknote A, whose head was slightly protruding from being sandwiched between the banknotes b, also returns completely to its original storage compartment. After this state, I applied 92 colors including the upper and lower furano.

92b, 92cf, all banknotes A... can be returned to the initial state K by using the flyer 92a H92b H92c.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, an explanation was given of an application to an automatic banknote circulation type deposit/withdrawal device, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to other paper sheets other than banknotes. Of course.

The extraction mechanism has been explained using a vacuum pump as an example, but the extraction tips 60a, 61h,
If the particles 60b and 61b are made of high friction material, it is possible to sufficiently take in banknotes using only the frictional force of the rubber take-up tip without using a vacuum.

In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes rotatably disposing an impeller for accumulating paper sheets and a pulley around which a conveyor belt for accumulating paper sheets is wrapped around the same shaft, and Since we have provided a take-out mechanism that rotates with the rotation of this shaft to take out paper sheets, the structure can be simplified and smaller compared to the conventional structure in which stacking and take-out are performed independently. This is particularly useful in devices where the size of the device is limited.
