Reference numeral 50 in the figure is a door body that opens and closes the deposit/withdrawal lower. The handle 50a of this door body 50 is located at a lower position than the top surface of the horizontal operation panel 3b, and the door body bO is Opening/closing operations are not obstructed.

Further, a banknote storage chamber 51 is formed below the depositing and dispensing lower which is opened and closed by the door body 50.

This banknote storage chamber, q1, has a bottom section by a side plate 52, and both side sections are connected to the first conveyor belt 53 of the take-in mechanism 15a and the second conveyor belt 54 of the take-out mechanism 15b.
It is formed by mutually opposing surface parts of.

Further, the take-in mechanism 15a has a structure similar to that of a follow-up. That is, of the pulleys 55 and 56 around which the first conveyor belt 53 is stretched, a take-in roller 57 is provided coaxially with the pulley 55 located below. This take-in roller 57 is formed with a slightly larger diameter than the pulley 55 so that it protrudes from the surface of the first conveyor belt 3, which is stretched around the pulley 55, and this take-in roller 257
The lower end of is in contact with a reversing plagier belt 58 as means for preventing multiple sheets from being taken in.

On the other hand, a back-up body 59 is provided on the second conveyor bell (i4) and the nested extension. This back-up body 59 is attached to a guide shaft 61 via a linear bearing 60, and uses a back-up body operating mechanism (not shown) to guide the guide shaft 61 and apply a spring force to the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51. When pressed against the first conveyor belt 53, it can be moved to a position lower than the second conveyor belt 54 in order to escape from the banknote storage chamber 51.

The above-mentioned take-out mechanism 15b has the following configuration. That is, the second conveyor belt 54 is arranged to face the take-in roller 57 and has a pulley 63 integrated with a pulley (not shown) around which the third conveyor belt 62 is wrapped.
A buckle 1 is passed to a pulley 64 provided above this.

The mutually opposing portions of this third conveyor belt 62 and a fourth conveyor belt 66 arranged at the bottom of the banknote storage chamber 51 and wrapped around the banknote conveyor belt 66 form the banknote conveyance path R.
A carry-out part R1 is formed to carry out the banknotes A from the temporary loading part 38 to the banknote storage part 51.

The above pulley 64 is attached to the free end side of the arm 7, which is swingable around the spindle 68 of the lower pulley 63 and is biased by a spring 69 to a position where it is always in optical contact with the nutopper 70. There is.

This arm 71 is configured to be able to rotate about a support shaft 68 as a fulcrum against the urging force of a spring 69 by an arm actuation mechanism 72. That is, on the pivot end side of the arm 71, there is a plunger 7J of the sylanger type magnet 73.
One end of the spring 75 is connected to a, and the other end of the spring 75, which has a stronger urging force than the spring 69 whose middle part is connected to the guide pulley 74, is connected to the spring 75. 69 is configured to rotate clockwise against the biasing force of the banknote A taken in by the taking-in roller 67.
... are fed by the guide plate 26 between the conveyor belts 77 and 78 forming a part of the take-in conveyance section R1 of the banknote conveyance path R. Note that the driven roller around which the conveyor belt 77 is stretched is rotatably attached to a shaft to which a pulley around which the reverse brake belt 58 is stretched is attached.

Note that among the two banknote presence/absence detectors 41 a + 4 l b for detecting the presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51, the upper banknote presence/absence detector 41b is the largest size banknote. When the yen banknote A is securely stored in the banknote storage chamber 51, a certain distance exists between the upper end of the banknote A and the optical axis, and a "bright" signal is obtained. It looks like this. In addition, the lower banknote presence/absence detector 411
L is the distance between the lower end of banknote A and the optical axis when the upper end of banknote A is in a state of protruding from the deposit/withdrawal lower during withdrawal operation, deposit return operation, etc. The state is such that a "bright" signal can be obtained.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the operation at the bill insertion timing during deposit will be described.

At the timing of depositing money, the door body 50 is pulled to the right by a motor (not shown) to open the cash withdrawal port 7 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. At this time, since the back-up body 59 is in the position shown in FIG. 3, the customer transfers the banknote bundle A with mixed denominations and front and back sides from the deposit/withdrawal lower to the banknote storage chamber 51.
can be added all at once while standing. After inserting the banknotes, the door body 50 is moved to the left in the figure via the handle 50h as a signal that the banknote insertion is complete, and the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed. This is detected by a detector (not shown) and the retrieval operation begins.

That is, first, the first conveyor belt 53 on the right side of the figure runs in the direction of the arrow. Along with this, the pick-up roller 57, which has rubber with a high friction coefficient baked on a part of its circumference, also begins to rotate. Meanwhile, at the same time, the back-up body 59 is moved to the right in the figure by a back-up body operating mechanism (not shown) and presses the banknote bundle A to the right as shown in FIG.
It is pressed against the take-in roller 57 and the first conveyor belt 53.

At this time, the back-up body 59 is configured to be pressed through an intermediate spring (not shown), so that it can be pressed reliably regardless of the thickness of the banknote bundle A, and no strain is placed on the backup operating mechanism. .

As the take-in roller 57 rotates, the banknote A at the end is taken in, and at this time, the reversing brake belt 58, which is rotating in the opposite direction to the take-in direction of the banknote A, takes in the second and subsequent banknotes. The banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are blocked from being taken in, and the banknotes A...
The sheets are taken in one by one and fed between 77 and 78 by the conveyor belt.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the operation of transferring returned banknotes A returned to the deposit/withdrawal lower side to the banknote storage chamber 51. First, the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed by the door body 50, the knock-up body 59 moves to the left in the figure and retreats from the banknote storage chamber 51, and the carry-in section R1 formed by the conveyor belts 62 and 66 from below. The leading ends of the banknotes A, which are fed all at once, can enter between the mutually opposing surfaces of the second conveyor belt 54 and the first conveyor belt 53.

After the delivery of banknotes A is completed in this way, the banknotes that must be read again, such as the rejected banknotes at the time of deposit, are explained with reference to FIG. 4 while the door body 50 is closed. Repeat the import operation.

In addition, when the banknotes are automatically returned at the time of deposit or the banknotes are paid at the time of withdrawal, the banknotes are returned directly to the customer without having to be read again, and the banknotes are paid out and removed by the customer as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the back-up body 59 remains moved to the left in the figure, and the plunger-shaped magnet 7 is moved while the conveyance operation of the banknote A is once stopped.
3 is sucked, and the pulley 64 around which the second conveyor belt 54 is wound rotates the arm 21, which has been bent several times, clockwise about the support shaft 68. Then, the banknote bundles A, .

After that, the door body 50 is opened, and the second conveyor belt on the left side and the first conveyor belt on the right side are run in the direction of the arrow at a slow conveyance speed that is 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed. Similarly, the belt 53 is also speeded down and rotated in the direction of the arrow. And banknote bundle A...
* is fed upward, and both conveyance belts 53 and 54 are rotated until the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41m becomes "bright", and then the conveyance is stopped.

At this time, since more than half of the banknote bundle A is stopped in a state protruding from the deposit/withdrawal lower, the customer can easily pull out the banknote bundle A'-.

In addition, since the tip is held in place by the biasing force of the Nupling 75, it will not fall or be blown away by the wind.

On the other hand, when it is detected that the customer has pulled out the banknote bundle A... by the signal of the banknote presence/absence detector 41b above changing to "bright", the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed by the door body 5o and the magnet 73 is released, the arm 7 returns to its original position, and the back-up body 59 located on the left returns to the position shown in FIG. 3, allowing the next step to proceed.

If the signal of the banknote presence/absence detector 41b does not change to "bright" even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the banknote A...
・It is determined that you have forgotten to remove it, and the system begins to collect it. At this time, the operation is as follows: First, while holding the banknote A..., the first banknote. The second conveyor bell) 53 and 54 are run in the opposite direction of the arrow at a low speed of 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed to take in paper and banknotes above until the presence/absence detector 41b changes to "bright". When the color changes to "bright", all the banknotes A have been completely taken into the banknote storage chamber 51, so the attraction of the magnet 73 is released and the pulley 64 around which the second conveyor belt 64 is The attached arm 21 is returned to its original position and the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed by the door body 50.

An indicator 171 that blinks to indicate the near end of the thousand yen bill storage section 21 and lights up the end, and a face yen/exclusion ticket storage section 2o.
It is comprised of a display 172 that flashes to indicate the near end of the machine and lights up to indicate the end, a display 124 that indicates collection and loading, and a keyboard 173 that includes a numeric keypad and denomination keys.

The remote monitor 175 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the display 128 indicates the near end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 by blinking and indicates the end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 by blinking, the display 179 indicates the near end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 by blinking and the end by lighting, and the yen/exclusion ticket storage section. an indicator 180 that indicates the near end of 20 by flashing and indicates the end by lighting;
It is composed of a display section J77 that displays subjects, operation steps, and operation status codes, a display section J77 that displays the number of loaded or inspected 10,000 yen banknotes, and 1000 yen banknotes, and a number button 176.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, first of all, a customer (customer) inserts a card into the card insertion slot 5 after seeing the operation guide "Please insert your card or bankbook" displayed on the CRT display section 10. Then, the data on the magnetic stripe of the card is read by a reading section (not shown) and supplied to the main control section 150. Accordingly, the main control unit 150 checks the validity of the card. Then, if the card is valid, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display lθ to display an operation guide saying ``Please enter your PIN number.''Then, the customer inputs the PIN number using the operation button 8. Then, the main control unit 150 inputs the password read from the card and the operation button 8.
Checks whether it matches or is related to the entered PIN. If they match, or if the relationship satisfies predefined rules, the main control unit 150 controls the CRT.
The display unit 10 displays the message ``Please select transaction type J'' and also displays the instruction to select the ``deposit, withdrawal, transfer, balance inquiry'' selection button.

When the operation button 8 corresponding to deposit is pressed when selecting a transaction item, the main control section 750 enters the deposit acceptance state and outputs a deposit instruction to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Accordingly, the door body 50 of the depositing and dispensing lower part of the depositing and dispensing mechanism 12 is opened. Next, when the customer inserts the bundle of banknotes A into the banknote storage room 5) in a standing position with mixed denominations (front and back), and then closes the door body 50, a detector (not shown) detects that the door body 50 is closed. do.

In addition, the main control unit 1
50 determines that the banknotes have been correctly deposited into the banknote storage chamber 51, the banknotes A are taken in one by one via the take-in roller 57 starting from the frontmost one. This captured banknote A
is conveyed via the intake conveyance path R2. At this time, the banknote A is detected to be taken in by the banknote pass detector 40m,
The main control unit 150 is counting the number of accepted bills based on the detection signal. Also, when the banknote A passes through the inspection unit 36,
Detection of "short length", "longitudinal length", "magnetic pattern matching", "color separation of one transparent light", and "division matching of minute parts using reflected light" is performed. "
``Bill type discrimination'', ``authenticity discrimination'', ``goodness/damage discrimination'', and ``front/back discrimination'' are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control unit 150.

At this time, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 150 controls the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 if the banknote A1 is found to be "false" in the authenticity determination and cannot be recognized as a valid banknote because it has been stacked, has been significantly skimmed, or has been damaged. Outputs an exclusion signal. Accordingly, the tip of the banknote A is connected to the banknote passage detector 40.
When reaching point b, in the first distribution, the gate 39a is rotated to the right. Then, the banknotes A are temporarily stacked in the temporary stacking section 38 via the conveyance path Rx.

On the other hand, it is determined as "true" in the authenticity discrimination, and "true" in the front/back discrimination.
In the case of an egg yen bill that is determined to be "reverse", the main control unit 160 outputs its balance to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Accordingly, the banknote A is sorted into groups 39a and 39b,
The paper is transported to the front-back reversing section 37. The banknotes A that have been reversed by the front/back reversing unit 31 are transported via a transport path R4, sorted by a gate 39d, and transported via a transport path R6, and then transferred to the first stacking/retrieving device 24. It is accumulated in the first temporary storage section 32.

At this time, in each storage section 20, 21.22, the separator mechanism 28, 29, 30 is in the deposit initial position, and the claws of both the upper and lower flap knobs 32, 133 are in the state where the separator mechanism 28, 29, 30 is located at the deposit initial position. 2 a...

1331L°... is holding banknote A (see Figure 8)
It takes 24.2 seconds for each stacking/retrieving device.

With the temporary storage sections 32 , 3J , , 94 formed on the front side of the banknotes 26 , the banknotes A guided by the impeller 100 are moved by the movable body 108 driven by the pulse motor 110 around the spindle 109 . In the state of moving leftward (see FIG. 8), the movable body 108 comes off from the impeller 100 by colliding with the guide portion 108b of the movable body 108. At this time, by rotating the rotary body lθ6, a part of which is made of a high-friction body and has a hole, in the clockwise direction, the stopper portion 108b of the rotary body JOB can also close the banknote ejection port 112. The banknotes A that have come off the impeller 100 due to the blocking are stacked downward one by one. In addition, the longitudinal alignment of the banknotes is carried out by means not shown in the drawings.
This is performed at the time when the impeller 1oo is removed from the impeller 1oo and accumulated.

On the other hand, 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes operate in the same manner and are accumulated in the second and third temporary storage sections 33 and 34, respectively. Also, banknotes that are determined to be "true" in the above-mentioned authenticity determination and "front" in the front/back determination are stored in the temporary storage section 92 , which corresponds to each denomination, without going through the reverse side reversing section 37 . 3,
? , 34. At the time of the above accumulation, passing detector 4
Based on the detection signals of 0m +4On and 40o, the main control unit 15θ counts the accumulated number of yen, 1000 yen, and -10,000 yen bills using various counters as shown in the figure.Meanwhile, the detectors 41a and 41b By banknote storage room, 51
When it is detected that there are no banknotes, the rotation of the taking-in roller 57 is stopped and the taking-in process is ended.

Next, when the rejected tickets are accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38, the arm 92 moves to the left, the rejected tickets are placed on the conveyor belts 82 and 62, and are collectively conveyed through the conveyance path R+. The banknotes are transported to the banknote storage chamber 51 (see FIG. 7). The rejected bills thus returned to the banknote storage chamber 5 and accumulated are taken in and conveyed again, and a deposit process is performed.

In this way, after all the inserted banknotes have been accumulated,
Arguments are matched. Temporary storage unit 32 corresponding to each note scale and the number of 10,000 yen bills, 5,000 yen bills, and 1,000 yen bills among the genuine bills determined by the tsumushi inspection unit 36
Passage detector 40m on conveyance path R6 to ~34.

The number of sheets counted by 40n and 40o is checked by the main control unit 150, and the count is guaranteed by checking 2M.

After the counts are verified in this way, the main control unit 15
0 displays the number of tickets per slot and the total amount deposited on the CRT display section 10 of the operation panel section 3, prompting the customer to confirm the deposited amount and the number of tickets per slot.

When the customer presses the confirmation button, after online communication,
If the acceptance is "Acceptable", No. 4 shown in Figures 10 and 11 will be displayed.
Furano+1.92 by driving Lunu motor 136
, 1.93 to open vertically. In this way, the group A of banknotes stored in each tier is pushed forward by the back-up body 145 of each tier and is pushed forward by the suppression spring 146, together with the banknotes A of the temporary storage section 92, 3J, J4. Then, it comes into contact with the stacking/retrieving devices 24, 25, and 26 and stops. Thereafter, the parnu motor 138 is operated to advance the senogulator mechanism 28, 29, 30, and the nosol motor 136 is rotated in the opposite direction to move the senogulator mechanism 28, 29, 30 forward.

Due to the above mechanism operation, each temporary accumulation part, 92°33, .
? , 4 are stored in storage sections 2o, 21.degree. 22 of each roll. The flow of banknotes in such a deposit processing operation is as shown in FIG. 19.

If the customer presses the cancel button when confirming the deposited amount, or if the result of online communication becomes "unacceptable", the main control unit 150 enters the return state and outputs a return command to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. As a result, the temporary storage section takes in the banknotes A of 94 degrees and 9.9132 in the order of 10,000 yen banknotes, 1,000 yen banknotes, and 5,000 yen banknotes, and the temporary storage section,
98. That is, first, the center mechanism 2
By turning off the excitation of each VR type arm lun motor 136 that drives B, 29, and 30 in the horizontal direction, both the upper and lower flannel 4132't 133 are transferred to the back-up body 7'45 for each banknote A... Spring 14

Insert between the claws 132a, 133, and 13.9a (see Fig. 13). Next, when the vacuum pump (not shown) is driven and the rotating body 1060 starts rotating, the opening 106a of the rotating body 106 and the opening 1oya of the shaft 107 that communicates with the vacuum chamber (the rotational force of the rotating body 45 When the banknotes A are opened and the banknotes are open, the banknote A is sucked in just in case and ejection is started.

From the time when the rotary body 106 rotates 45 degrees, the suction of the opening 106a of the rotary body 106 stops and the tip of the banknote A reaches the rotary body 10.
6 and the belt 119.

Note that stacking of banknotes A is prevented by suctioning banknotes A with a roll plate 13, which is hollow in the center and connected to a vacuum chamber, and has an opening on the side facing banknote A. Do it.

The adsorption of banknotes A by the two-sheet prevention roller 113 is continued until the lower end of the banknote A is supported by the seven flaps 133 after the end of ejecting, so that the banknote A is even prevented from falling from the ejecting port 112.

The timing at which the intake operation of each stage ends is determined by the separator mechanism 2B.
, 29.30 is retracted at the deposit initial position O, and the banknote presence/absence detector 41d.

It is determined that the process has ended when 41f and 41g change to "bright".

When all the deposited banknotes are temporarily accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38, the banknotes are conveyed all at once to the banknote A' (H banknote storage chamber 5) (see FIG. 7). Thereafter, all the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are made to protrude from the deposit/withdrawal lower by the aforementioned banknote discharging mechanism (pop-up mechanism), thereby prompting the customer to remove the deposited banknotes. At this time, the main control unit 15θ
displays on the CRT display section 10 the following message: ``We will return the deposited banknotes.'' The flow of banknotes in such a deposit return processing operation is as shown in FIG.

All banknotes in the automatic return operation are temporarily accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38 under any conditions, and are collectively stored in the banknote storage chamber,
51, all the deposited banknotes are returned to the customer by the banknote discharging mechanism (bono abutment mechanism) shown in FIG. No inspection of returned banknotes will be conducted. The discrimination function is exactly the same as when depositing, but not using the discrimination function makes the recovery method very complicated in the event that the count at the time of deposit and the count at the time of return do not match. This is because counting verification may not be possible due to overlaps, etc. that occur during the operation of taking out banknotes at the time of return.

However, due to the arrangement of each part of the principal withdrawal mechanism, it is mechanically possible to use the IJ) method for withdrawal.

Next, when selecting a transaction slot, when the button 8 is inserted to perform an operation corresponding to a withdrawal, the main control unit 150 displays the guidance text "Press the button to select the amount and finally press the yen button." It is displayed on the CRT display section 10. The customer then inserts the amount using the operation button 8 according to the instructions. When inserting this amount, the main control unit 1so displays the guide text "Amount 75: If you agree, please press the confirmation button or the correction button if you wish to change the exchange button."
It is displayed on the display unit 10.

By pressing this button, the main control unit 150 displays the guidance text 'ff that is communicating. Please wait for a while.'
:Display on CRT display unit 10O At this time, main control unit 150 performs online communication and outputs a withdrawal command to deposit/withdrawal device 12. In addition, deposit/withdrawal device 1
2 takes out banknotes corresponding to the above amount from the banknote storage sections 21 and 22 and stacks them in the temporary stacking section 38. That is,
The separator mechanism of the 10,000 yen bill storage section 22 and the 1,000 yen bill storage section 2? 0, 29 francs) 4132,
I made a 133fi Luss motor 136"ctJJ and opened it.

Next, operate the i+lunu motor 110 to move the movable body 1 in the right direction.
Rotate 08. In this way, the rotating body for removal)0
6 and the banknote A is 0.5 to 1.5 mm. (1st
(See Figure 4).

First, the vacuum pump that takes out the banknotes A from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 92 is operated to increase the degree of vacuum inside the shaft 107, and then the conveyor belt 119 forming the conveyance path R6 is rotated.
By starting the rotation of the rotary body 1060 serving as the take-out mechanism, the take-out begins. The bills taken out in this manner are distributed to gates 39d, 9e, and 39f.

, 'l 9 g , , 99 h and are distributed to the transport path R
4* Rt+R8, and accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38. At this time, the banknotes taken out from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22 are detected by the banknote passage detector 40r, and based on the detection signal, the main controller 150 counts the number of banknotes taken out. The banknotes taken out from the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 21 are detected by the banknote passage detector 40q, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal. In addition, the Inspection Department, w6
When passing through, "bill type discrimination" etc. 75 is performed, and the result is supplied to the main control section 150. Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). Further, the banknotes stacked in the temporary stacking unit 38 are detected by a banknote passage detector 40f, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of stacked banknotes based on the detection signal.

Then, when the number of bills taken out by the passage detectors 40r and 40q reaches the set number, the main control section 150 ends the taking out of bills from the corresponding bill storage section 22.21.

In addition, the main control section 95θ performs a total number of bill comparisons depending on whether the added number of thousand yen banknotes and ten thousand yen banknotes according to the inspection result matches the accumulated number.

At this time, the taken out banknote A passes through the inspection section 36 and is
Banknote storage sections 22, 21 corresponding to each volume of υ according to ``bill type discrimination''
It is reconfirmed that the ticket is of the same type as the one that was removed. this"
Normally, there is no need to re-record the ticket type J, but it is a good idea to double-check as it cannot be said that there are no errors when the clerk sets the missing amount.

Regarding "determination of fitness and loss", depending on the operation mode at the time of deposit,
It will be determined whether classification based on fitness or loss is necessary. Tsumashi,
For deposits, we will accept any ticket, no matter how dirty, torn, or repaired with cellophane tape, as long as it is a ``true'' bill and the type of bill can be determined.

They may be stored in the 10,000 yen storage unit 22, 1,000 yen storage unit 2, or in the face yen/elimination ticket storage unit 20 for withdrawal, and in the former case, the fitness and loss judgment at the time of withdrawal is The latter is necessary, but Fi is not particularly necessary.

In any case, unfit notes must be avoided as banknotes to be paid out to customers.

When carrying out fitness/damage sorting control, unfit bills are those that are overlapping, which occurs when normal banknotes are taken out, have significant skidding, or have abnormal pitches that exceed the standard, and cannot be identified by the inspection unit 36. Similar to the excluded banknotes, the face yen/excluded ticket storage section 2
0, and are collected and stored. In addition, when a rejected ticket is generated, the first goo (39m) is rotated to the left and is directly accumulated and stored in the 1 egg yen/rejected ticket storage section 20 without passing through the front-back reversing section 37. The storage location for rejected tickets can be switched to the rejected ticket accumulation section 49.

Note that the flow of banknotes in the above-described withdrawal processing operation is as shown in FIG.

In this way, the shelves on which rejected tickets have been generated are additionally taken out in order to replenish the number of designated schools.

Therefore, the paid bills accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 are
The bills are sent out in batches by the mechanism shown in FIG. 7 and accumulated in the bill storage section 61. Later, after communicating online,
When the transaction is ``permitted,'' the banknote discharging mechanism shown in FIG. 6 inserts and lifts the banknote A between the arms 2 and waits for it to be dispensed and removed by the customer.

In addition, if the transaction becomes ``unacceptable'' after online communication, the payout banknotes accumulated in the banknote storage room 5 will be taken in one by one in the same way as when depositing and will be verified. Each ticket type is stored in the storage section 22°2. In this way, by employing a parallel operation in which the withdrawal of banknotes is started at the same time as communication begins, the processing time for the transaction can be significantly shortened and efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, even if the frequency of transactions becoming "unacceptable" decreases, there is no problem because the removed banknotes can be returned to the original storage section.

Next, the banknote is lifted by the banknote discharging mechanism shown in Fig. 6, and the banknote is discharged waiting for the customer to take it out, the banknote is discharged when the deposit is automatically returned, and the banknote is discharged when a customer operation timeout occurs when the deposit exclusion ticket is discharged. The operation for collecting forgotten banknotes will be explained with reference to the flow of banknotes in FIG. 22.

In the discharge mechanism shown in FIG.
On the contrary, the banknote bundle A that has been pushed out while being sandwiched between the second conveyor belt 54 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow by a drive source (not shown) and is returned into the banknote storage chamber 51. Banknote detector 4
When 1b is [bright J, 41 & is "dark", that is, the banknote has been completely pulled back and taken into the banknote storage chamber 51, so the attraction of the magnet 73 is released and the second transport is carried out. The arm 7 attached to the nori 64 over which the belt 54 is stretched is returned to its original position, and the door body 50 is automatically closed to close the deposit/withdrawal lower. Thereafter, this banknote bundle A is successively taken in one by one through the above-described normal deposit receiving sequence shown in FIG. At this time, the dart 39g is tilted downward, and the banknotes taken in one by one are passed through the conveyance path R2 to the collected/loaded banknote storage section 2.
3 and stored in the temporary storage unit 35 after processing is completed.

This collection process is continued until the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23 is full, i.e., an operation mode in which no correspondence is made between collected transactions and collected banknotes, and an operation mode in which correspondence is established, i.e., the first collected banknote is The banknotes collected for the second time are stored in the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23, and are stored in the temporary storage section 35 separated by a separator mechanism 31.
The banknotes collected for the first time can be kept in the banknote storage chamber 51, and the collection process can be performed for the third time without stopping the device.

In the above description, the collected banknotes are taken directly into the collected/loaded banknote storage unit 23 without passing through the inspection unit 36, but for sorting, the dart 39g is tilted upward and the collected banknotes are passed through the inspection unit 36 for identification. After counting and accumulating them in the next accumulating section 38, they are returned to the banknote storage chamber 5), and this time, for sorting, the darts 39g are tilted downward and taken in again to be collected/collected.
Mechanically, it is also possible to put the banknotes into the loaded banknote storage section 23.

In addition, collected banknotes can be inspected and counted in the same manner as deposits, and can be sorted and stored in the banknote storage units 20, 21, and 221C for each type of banknote.

Next, FIG. 23(, ) shows the banknote loading process.

This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in (b) and the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. First, first thing in the morning, the clerk mixes the 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes needed for the day and stores them in the banknote storage section 23 of the fourth safe cassette 19, and then
Set to .

The staff member then presses the loading button 160 on the internal monitor 13. (ST1). By pressing this loading button 160, the main control unit 150 activates the detectors 41e, 41f, 41g.
+41c+41b.

40a, . . . temporary storage section 32.
33.34, Check if there are any banknotes remaining in the temporary stacking section 38, banknote storage chamber 51, and each conveyance path R5.
T2), an error code is displayed on the operating status display section 161 of the internal monitor 13 to indicate that the error remains, and an alarm is issued. (ST, 9). This alarm causes the clerk to remove the banknote from the banknote storage section 21,22. 4 (ST4).

At this time, when the replenishment button 163 is pressed (8T2
2) Replenishment loading, which will be described later, is performed. At this time, the main control unit 150 displays a message on the CRT display unit 10 saying, ``Loading is in progress, so please wait for a while.''

Next, the detection signal from the main control unit 1soJd detector 41h checks whether or not there are banknotes in the loading banknote storage unit 23 (5T5), and if there are no banknotes, the operation status display unit 161 of the internal monitor 13 Displays an error code and generates an alarm. (ST6). In response to this alarm, the clerk mixes ten thousand yen banknotes and one thousand yen banknotes and stores them in the banknote storage section 23 of the fourth safe case (19). (ST78 At this time, the load button 160 is pressed down, so the next step (
ST! Proceed to 9). (ST8).

Then, if there are banknotes to be loaded and there are no banknotes remaining at all locations, the main control unit 150 rotates the gate 39a to the right for distribution, the gate 39h to the right for distribution, and the gate 39g for distribution downward. Make it move.

As a result, the banknotes in the banknote storage section 23 are taken out one by one in the same manner as in the above-described takeout operation at the time of withdrawal, and are transported to the inspection section 36 by the transport path R6. Then, the inspection section 36 discriminates the banknote and outputs the discrimination result to the main control section 150. Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the number of thousand yen banknotes and the number of ten thousand yen banknotes. The banknotes that have passed through the inspection section 36 operate in the same manner as during the deposit processing, and the rejected tickets are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38, and the 10,000 yen banknotes and the 1,000 yen banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage sections 34 and 3.9, respectively. . (ST!9). When either the 10,000 yen temporary storage unit 34 or the 1,000 yen temporary storage unit 33 reaches 100 bills, the removal of banknotes from the banknote storage unit 23 is temporarily stopped, and the 100 banknotes are transferred to the 10,000 yen banknote storage unit. 22 or the thousand yen bill storage section 21. When this storage operation is completed, the banknote storage section 23
When the number of banknotes in the temporary storage section 33 and 34 reaches 100, the withdrawal operation is temporarily stopped and the number of banknotes is 100.
The accumulated banknotes are stored in the corresponding storage section. (ST
10). Take out this operation and hold the tab 9 until the banknote runs out.
The empty banknote detector 42 detects that there is no banknote in the banknote storage section 23,
And continue until the detector 41h becomes "bright". (ST11
). The last banknote is transported and temporarily stored in the storage section 33.3.
4, the main control unit 150 uses the detectors 40a to detect that no banknotes remain in the transport path R of each part, and stops each part. At this time, the main control section 15θ causes the rejected tickets accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 to be conveyed all at once to the banknote storage chamber 51.

(See Figure 7). (ST1.?,). Next, the banknotes in the banknote storage chamber 51 are taken out one by one in the same way as in the above-described collection operation, and after being accumulated in the temporary storage section 35, they are stored in the banknote storage section 23 after detecting whether any banknotes remain. .

In this way, when a series of loading operations is completed, the main control unit 1
Reference numeral 50 indicates a second banknote loading contents tab on a journal by a printing section (not shown) in the card/slip processing unit device 1.
As shown in FIG. 5, the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes for each type of banknote and the total amount are printed, and the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and one thousand yen banknotes are displayed on the number display section 164 of the internal monitor 13. The number of tickets for each type of ticket is displayed.

(STJs). Furthermore, if there is a rejected ticket and it has been returned, the main control unit 150 displays the collection/loading indicator 17 to notify the staff.

Thereby, the clerk pulls out the fourth safe cassette 19, takes out the bills returned to the bill storage section 23, and counts the number of bills. The clerk collates and confirms the number of each type of ticket and the amount that he or she initially set based on this number, the contents printed in the journal, and the contents displayed on the internal monitor 3. At the time of this confirmation, the staff member presses down the storage button 166 on the internal monitor 13. (ST14). In this way, the last banknotes accumulated in the temporary storages 33, 34 are stored in each storage section 21, 22, and the loading process is completed.

If verification cannot be made due to an excess or shortage of banknotes at the stage of setting by the staff member or an error in calculation by the staff member, the return button 167 on the internal monitor 13 is pressed. When this button is pressed down,
All the loaded banknotes in the storage units 22, 23 and temporary storage units 34, 33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes are taken out one by one in the same process as the removal operation at the time of withdrawal, and then transferred to the conveyance path R6.
and is transported to the inspection section 36. Sorting is at gate 39
, a is to the right, 39h is to the left, and the banknotes that have passed through the inspection section 36 are sorted according to the direction of the gate 39a, pass through the conveyance path R3, and are sorted again)
Follow the direction of 39h and enter the conveyance path R7. Thereafter, the banknotes are conveyed from the conveyance path R7 through the conveyance path R2, and the gate 39g is rotated downward to be sorted, and the banknotes enter the temporary storage section 35 of the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23 into the conveyance path R5. are collected and stored. This action is also 100, same as when loading.
The intermittent operation is repeated for each sheet, and continues until the storage sections 22, 21 and the temporary storage section 34, 33 for the 10,000 yen banknote and 1,000 yen banknote are emptied, and the banknotes disappear from the conveyance path. (
ST15). The flow of banknotes in the return process at the time of loading is the second
'& as shown in Figure 6.

Next, regarding midway replenishment of banknotes, see Figure 23(a).
(b) This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in (c) and the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. First, the staff member presses the replenishment button 163 on the internal monitor 13 and presses the key ? - Set the replenishment number of coins for each denomination in the code 173. (ST22). At this time, the main control unit 150 stores the replenishment number of coins for each denomination in a memory (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display unit 10 to display a message saying, “Loading is in progress, please wait for a while.”

Next, the main control unit 50 checks whether or not there are banknotes in the loading banknote storage section 23 based on the detection signal from the detector 41b (5T5), and if there are no banknotes, the internal monitor 13 indicates that there is no banknote.
An alarm is generated by displaying an error code on the operation status display section 16, and the collection/loading display 174 indicates that there are no loaded banknotes. (ST6').

In response to this alarm, the clerk mixes ten thousand yen banknotes and one thousand yen banknotes and stores them in the banknote storage section 23 of the fourth safe cassette 19. (S
r1).

At this time, since the replenishment butane 163 is pressed down,
Proceed to the next step (STI6).

(Sr8). However, if there are banknotes to be collected, they are removed and then the banknotes for loading are stored.

If there are banknotes to be loaded, the main control unit 150 will sort the gate 39a to the right, the gate 39h to the right,
For distribution, the gate 39g is rotated downward. Thereby, the banknotes in the banknote storage section 23 are sequentially taken out one by one in the same way as in the above-described takeout operation at the time of withdrawal, and are transported to the inspection section 36 by the transport path R6. Then, the inspection section 36 discriminates the banknote and outputs the discrimination result to the main control section 150. Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the number of thousand yen banknotes and the number of ten thousand yen banknotes. The banknotes that have passed the inspection section 36 are
It operates in the same way as when processing deposits, and the rejected tickets are temporarily accumulated in section 3.
8. Ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes are stored in their respective temporary storage sections 34.
It is accumulated in 33. (ST16). At this time, the main control unit 150 checks whether the number of 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes matches the set number of banknotes. When the number of ten thousand yen banknotes or one thousand yen banknotes matches, and the banknote corresponding to the matched banknote is discriminated, the banknote is stacked in the temporary stacking section 38 as a rejected ticket. When the number of verified bills of the 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes matches the set number, the banknotes at the time of the match are transported, and the temporary storage unit 33.34
After the banknotes are accumulated, the main control unit 150 detects with the detector 40a that no banknotes remain on the transport path R of each part, and stops each part. At this time, the main control section 5θ causes the rejected tickets accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 to be conveyed all at once to the banknote storage chamber 5. (See Figure 7). (ST17
). Next, the banknotes in the banknote storage chamber 51 are taken out one by one in the same way as in the collection operation described above, and after being accumulated in the temporary storage section 35, they are stored in the banknote storage section 23 when it is detected that no banknotes remain.

In this way, when a series of loading operations is completed, the main control unit 1
Reference numeral 50 indicates the banknote loading contents, that is, the second
As shown in Figure 7, the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes for each type of banknote is printed, and the internal monitor 1
The number display section 164 of No. 3 displays the number of each type of 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes. (ST19').

Further, the main control unit 150 causes the collection/loading indicator 17 to be displayed to notify the staff if the rejected ticket has been returned. Thereby, the clerk pulls out the M4 safe cassette 19, takes out the bills returned to the bill storage section 23, and counts the number of bills.

The clerk collates and confirms the number of each ticket type and amount that he or she initially set based on this number, the contents printed in the journal, and the contents displayed on the internal monitor 13. At the time of this confirmation, the staff member presses down the storage button 166 of the internal monitor 13. (
ST19).

In this way, the last banknotes accumulated in the temporary storages 33, 34 are stored in each storage section 21, 22, and the loading process is completed. (ST20). At this time, the main control unit 150 adds the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and one thousand yen banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit 22.21 with the number of replenishment-loaded banknotes.

If verification is not possible due to an excess or shortage of banknotes at the stage of setting by the staff member or a calculation error by the staff member, the return button 167 on the internal monitor 13 is pressed. When this button is pressed, all the loaded banknotes in each storage section 22, 23 and each temporary storage section 34, 33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes will be removed in the same process as the withdrawal operation when withdrawing money. The sheets are taken out one by one and conveyed to the inspection section 36 through the conveyance path R6. Sorting is at gate 39a
is rotated to the right and 39h is rotated to the left in advance, and the bills that have passed through the inspection section 36 are sorted in the direction of the gate 39a, passing through the conveyance path R3, and are sorted in the direction of the gate 39h. Enter the secondary conveyance path R7. After this, conveyance path R7
The banknotes are conveyed from the bank via the conveyance path R2, and the gate 39g is rotated downward for sorting, and the banknotes enter the conveyance path R.
The banknotes are accumulated and stored in the temporary storage section 35 of the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23.

This operation is repeated intermittently every 100 sheets in the same way as when loading, and each storage section 22.21 and temporary storage section 34.33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes are empty and no banknotes are removed from the conveyance path. It continues until there are no more, and it is completed. (ST21). The flow of banknotes in the replenishment return process is shown in FIG. 26.

As described above, when the number of stored banknotes such as 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes is low, for example, when the banknotes reach a near-end, a predetermined number of banknotes can be loaded. As a result, when it is near the end of business hours, it is possible to load the required number of sheets during the short business hours, and the time wasted due to loading can be reduced.

Although the above loading process and replenishment loading process were performed for both 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes, the same operations can be performed for either one of the banknotes.

As mentioned above, the loading process is performed intermittently for every 100 bills of each type, and stacking and storage are repeated, so even if a bill jams in the takeout section, transport section, stacking section, etc. during processing, The banknotes stored up to that point are guaranteed to be counted, and the banknotes in the storage section 22.21 for 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes are left as they are, and are stored in the temporary storage section 34.33 and the banknotes that are being transported or taken out. After removing only the banknotes and resetting them, press the loading button 160.
You can continue by pressing .

In this way, it is easy for the staff to perform a repair process when a problem occurs.

In addition, for both full loading and supplementary loading, it is common knowledge for banks to set banknotes that have both front and back banknotes sorted and are normal, but in order to handle cases where both front and back and normal and defective banknotes are mixed,
As for the inspection function, all the functions of ``distinguishing the type of bill'', ``distinguishing front and back'', ``determining whether it is good or bad'', and ``determining authenticity'' are utilized as in the case of deposit.

In the case of replenishment using the fourth safe cassette 19, the replenishment button 163 is enabled in the customer standby state, and when the reloading process is started, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT display unit 10, and when the reloading process is completed, it automatically returns. It looks like this. However, depending on the user's specifications, it is possible to execute transactions other than personal withdrawal transactions even during this replenishment, or even to accept and accept card passbook media even when selecting personal withdrawal transactions. . When it is fully loaded, the processing time is long because the staff is only processing it first thing in the morning and there are a lot of bills, so it is wise to suspend operation as an automatic transaction device, and it is better for customers.

Next, replenishment from the operation panel section 3 will be explained with reference to the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. 23. First, the staff member confirms that the device is in a standby state, then inserts the staff key into the staff key switch provided in the customer service section at the front and turns it on to turn on the staff key switch. Then, the main control unit 150 changes to the attendant mode and causes the CRT-display unit 10 to display a message "Please specify the process." Based on this guidance, the staff member selects loading using the refill button 8. Then, the main control unit 150 enters the loaded banknote acceptance state, outputs a deposit command to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12, and displays a message on the CRT display unit 10, ``Please insert the banknotes to be loaded into the first banknote to be withdrawn.'' is displayed. Thereby, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 opens the door body 50 of the deposit/withdrawal lower. Next, after the clerk puts the banknote bundle A in a standing position into the banknote storage chamber 51, the door body 50 is closed. Thereafter, by operating in the same manner as the above-described deposit operation, the banknote storage chamber 5
The banknotes from No. 1 are taken out one by one and accumulated in the temporary storage sections 32, 33, and 34 of the corresponding denomination via the inspection section 36. Then, when the above operation is completed, the main control unit 150
causes the CRT display to display the number of denominations of each denomination accumulated in each temporary storage section, and to specify the display of each button for "storage" and "return". Also, at this time, the main control unit 1
Similarly to the above-described replenishment loading process, 5θ causes a journal in which the number of each type of banknote is printed, such as 10,000 yen banknotes, 1,000 yen banknotes, egg yen banknotes, and rejected tickets, as shown in FIG. 27, to be issued. Thereby, the staff member confirms the loading contents and, if they match, presses down the operation button 8 corresponding to storage. Then, temporary storage section 3
2, 33° and 34 banknotes are placed in the banknote storage sections 20 and 21, respectively.
It is stored at ゜22. At this time, replenishment loading processing (deposit processing) is performed in the attendant mode, and online transaction communication is prohibited. As a result, the main control unit 150 updates the cumulative number of sheets data with the details of the deposit processing. Further, when the operation button 8 corresponding to the return is pressed, all the banknotes inserted into the deposit/withdrawal lower are returned by the same operation as the deposit return process.

Next, we will discuss the second part regarding the scrutiny process for settling transactions on -day.
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 and the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. First, at the end of the day's transactions or first thing the next morning, the clerk sets the safe cassette for inspection into the banknote storage section 23. (ST31). The staff member then presses down the locking button 168 on the internal monitor 13.

(ST,?,?). By pressing this on-line button 168, the main control unit 150 enters the inspection state, and the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12
Outputs inspection instructions to. At this time, the main control unit 160 checks whether or not banknotes remain in the banknote storage section 23 based on the detection signal from the detector 41h (ST33), and if there is a banknote, it monitors the internal monitor to that effect. 13 operating status display section 1
Displays the 2-code at 6 and generates an alarm. (ST3().In response to this alarm, the staff member should
3, or press the storage button 166. (ST, ?5).

As a result, the main control unit 150 takes out the banknotes from the banknote storage units 2θ, 21.22 and temporarily stores them in the temporary storage unit 3.
It is accumulated in 4. That is, the pulse motor 136 is operated to open the flaps, holes 132, 133 of the separator mechanism 3° of the 10,000 yen bill storage section 22 without being shuffled. Next, the pulse motor 11
0 to rotate the movable body 10B to the right. In this way, the gap between the rotating body 106 for taking out and the bill A can be 0.5 to 1.5 times. (See Figure 14). Then,
The vacuum pump that takes out banknotes A from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22 is operated to increase the degree of vacuum inside the shaft 1o7, and then the conveyor belt 119 forming the conveyance path R6 is rotated, and the rotating body 106 as a take-out mechanism is operated. By starting the rotation of the 9, the removal starts. The bills taken out in this manner are distributed to gates 39e, 39f, and 39m.

39h, 39g, conveyance path R11+R4+
It is transported via R31R71R2 and accumulated in the temporary storage section 34. At this time, the banknotes taken out from the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 22 are detected by the banknote passage detector 407, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal. Furthermore, when the taken-out banknote passes through the inspection section 36, "bill type discrimination" and the like are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control section 150. Then, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). Furthermore, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage section 34 are detected by a banknote passage detector 4.
0. , l performs accumulation detection, and the detection signal p
The main control unit 150 counts the number of stacked sheets.

When the number of bills accumulated by the passage detector 40 reaches 100, the main control unit 150 temporarily stops taking out the bills from the bill storage section 22 and stores the 100 bills into the bill storage section 22. urge When this storage operation is completed, the banknote removal from the banknote storage section 22 is started,
Further, when the temporary storage section 34 reaches 100 bills, the take-out operation is temporarily stopped and the 100 accumulated bills are stored in the bill storage section 23. If the number does not reach 100 at the end,
It will be stored at this stage. This operation is performed until there are no more 10,000 yen banknotes, that is, until the empty banknotes in the banknote storage section 22 are detected by the empty detector 42 and the detector 41g becomes "bright". Further, the banknotes in the 1,000 yen bill storage section 21 and the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 21 and the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 20 operate in the same manner as when they are stored in the banknote storage section 23 from the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 22. (S
i36).

When the banknote storage section 23 becomes full during the above inspection (
ST, +7), the main control unit 150 issues a printout of the details of banknote inspection up to the middle on a journal by a printing unit (not shown) in the card/slip processing unit device 1, and also indicates the replacement of the loading safe. The operating status code is displayed on the display section 161 of the internal monitor 13 and the remote monitor 1.
75 on the display section 177 and wait for the staff to replace the safe. As shown in Fig. 30, the details of banknote inspection up to the middle of the journal include the number of each type of banknote, 10,000 yen banknote and 1,000 yen banknote, and the number of banknotes stored in each banknote stacking section 22, 21, 20. . (STJ8). The clerk receives this journal and replaces the banknote storage section 23 with an empty cassette. (Si20). And tighten it again? By pressing down on the button 166 p (S +32), scanning is performed again. In addition, empty banknotes in the banknote storage sections 22, 21 and 20 are detected by the empty detector 42, and the detectors 41g and 41f
, 41e becomes "bright". Then, after the last banknote is conveyed and accumulated in the temporary storage section 35, the main control section 150 uses the detectors 40a to detect that no banknote remains in the conveyance path R of each section, and Stop each part. At this time, the main control unit 150 displays the number of each of the ten thousand yen banknotes, egg yen banknotes, and thousand yen banknotes stored in the collected/loaded banknote storage unit 23 on the number display unit 16 of the internal monitor 13.
4 will be displayed. At this time, the main control section 150 causes the printing section (not shown) in the card/slip processing unit device 11 to print all the number of sheets to be inspected, that is, the number of sheets for each ticket type as shown in FIG. 30, on the journal. . (
ST4o). The clerk pulls out the fourth safe cassette 19 and compares the contents of the journal with the contents. (Si41).

However, the rejected tickets generated during the above inspection will be sent to the sorting gate 3.
'9&, 39h, the bills are temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38, and after all the bills in the bill storage section 23 are ejected and stored in the corresponding storage section, the rejected bills are collectively stored in the bill storage chamber 51.
Then, the banknotes are taken out one by one and accumulated in a temporary storage area 35 for collected/loaded banknotes. At this time, each banknote that has been inspected enters the storage section and can be distinguished from the banknotes that could not be inspected because they are separated by a separator mechanism. At this time, the main control unit 150 subtracts the number of rejected banknotes to be withdrawn from the number of banknotes inserted into the banknote storage units 20, 21, and 22 when the number of rejected banknotes accumulated in the rejected banknote stacking unit 49 at the time of withdrawal is rOJ, The number of deposited tickets is added to the result of the above calculation, and the number of rejected tickets is calculated by subtracting the number of tickets inspected at the time of inspection from this addition result, and when the number of rejected tickets accumulated by the rejected ticket accumulation unit 49 is other than "0", the number of rejected tickets is calculated as the number of rejected tickets. The number of tickets to be rejected is calculated as the sum of the number of tickets collected in the rejected ticket stacking unit 49 and the number of tickets to be transferred to the temporary stacking unit 38. As a result, at the time of payment, the journal contains the number of loaded coins for each denomination, the number of partially loaded coins, and the total number of loaded coins, as shown in Figure 30.
The number of deposited bills, the number of withdrawn bills, the number of bills examined, the number of bills stored in the bill storage section 23, and the number of billed bills accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 are printed.

Furthermore, if a problem such as a jam occurs during inspection, the system will be stopped immediately, and the contents of the banknotes stored in the compartment 23, which is stored in units of 100 banknotes and separated, will be output to a journal at that point. Therefore, there is no need to re-examine the stored banknotes. It is sufficient to continue to closely examine only the banknotes that are being accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 and the banknotes that are being taken out and conveyed.

Next, partial scrutiny during the deposit/withdrawal operation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 31 and the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. 29.

First, the staff member sets a safe cassette for inspection into the banknote storage section 23. (ST51). Then, the staff member presses the inquiry button 169 on the internal monitor 13 and uses the keyboard 173 to set the number of partially inspected coins for each denomination. (
ST52).

At this time, the main control unit 150 stores the number of inspected coins for each denomination in a memory (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 150 checks that the operating state is not in a standby state or in the process of depositing and withdrawing money, and even if a portion of the predetermined number of bills is inspected, the 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes do not reach the end or near-end state. This is determined using sheet number data stored in a memory (not shown). (STB3).

When the above conditions are satisfied, the main control unit 15θ gives a command to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 to inspect a predetermined number of coins. Also, at this time, the main control section 150 causes the CRT display section 10 to display a message saying "Please wait for a while as the examination is in progress."

Next, the main control unit 150 checks whether or not there are banknotes in the banknote storage unit 23 for inspection based on the detection signal from the detector 41 & 5T54), and if there is a banknote, it displays the operating status of the internal monitor 13 to that effect. The display of the error code by the section 161 causes an alarm to be generated. (ST55). In response to this alarm, the clerk either removes the bill from the bill storage section 23 or presses the storage button 166. (ST56). As a result, the main control unit 150 takes out the banknotes from the banknote storage units 20, 21, 22, and accumulates them in the temporary storage unit 34 in the same way as at the withdrawal station. (ST57) That is, first, the seven flaps 132 and 133 of the separator mechanism 30 of the ten thousand yen bill storage section 22 are opened by operating the pulse motor 136. Next, the pulse motor 110 is operated to rotate the movable body 108 in the right direction.

In this way, a gap of 065 to 1.5 m can be created between the rotating body 106 for taking out and the bill A. (See Figure 14). Next, the vacuum pump that takes out banknotes A from the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 22 is operated to increase the degree of vacuum inside the shaft 107, and then the conveyor belt 119 that forms the conveyance path R6 is rotated, and the rotating body serving as a take-out mechanism is rotated. By starting the rotation of 106, the removal starts.

The bills taken out in this way are sorted through gate 39e.
39f, 39h, 39h, and 39g, transported via transport paths R5+R4+R3+R7+R2, and accumulated in the temporary storage section 34. At this time, the bill taken out from the ten thousand yen bill storage section 22 is detected by the bill passing detector 40r, and the main control section 1
50 is counting the number of sheets taken out. Furthermore, when the taken-out banknote passes through the inspection section 36, "bill type discrimination" and the like are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control section 150. Accordingly, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter shown in the figure. Further, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage section 34 are detected by a banknote passage detector 401t,
Based on the detection signal, the υ main control unit 150 counts the number of stacked sheets.

Then, when the number of ten thousand yen bills collected by the passage detector 40 matches the set number (ST58), the main control unit 150 stops taking out the bills from the bill storage section 22, and then stops the bill storage section 22. The banknote extraction of 1,000 yen banknotes is started from .

(ST59). Then, when the main control unit 150 determines that the number of thousand yen bills in the temporary storage unit 34 has reached the set number (ST
6(7), stopping the operation of taking out the banknotes from the banknote storage section 21;
The banknotes are stored in the banknote storage section 23.

(ST61). At this time, the main control section 150 causes the number display section 164 of the internal monitor 130 to display the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes stored in the banknote storage section 23. At this time, the main control unit 150 prints on the journal a part of the detailed information using the unillustrated printing unit in the card/slip processing unit device 11.1) As shown in FIG. The number of yen banknotes examined is recorded. (ST62).

The staff member checks the contents of the journal and the contents accumulated in the safe cassette 19. (ST63).

Note that even if the inquiry button 169 is pressed down, if the device is on standby or the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 is in operation,
When the above set number of 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes is examined, if the main control unit 150 determines that either the 10,000 yen or 1,000 yen banknote is in the end or near-end state, the cumulative data is sent as inquiry data. At the same time, a journal with a printout stating that some parts cannot be examined will be published.

In addition, when the safe of a certain type of bill becomes full, the full state can be released by partially examining a predetermined number of bills from the safe in the same manner as described above and storing them in the banknote storage section 23. , it is possible to continue accepting deposit transactions.

Next, partial inspection from the operation panel section 3 will be explained with reference to the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. First, the staff member confirms that the device is in a standby state, and then inserts and rotates the staff key into the staff key switch provided in the customer service section at the front to turn on the staff key switch. Then, the main control section 150 changes to the attendant mode, and causes the CRT display section 10 to display a message "Please specify the process." Based on this guidance, the staff member selects scrutiny using the operation button 8. Then, the main control section 150 controls the CRT display section 10.
Displays a message that says ``Please enter the denomination and number of coins to be examined.'' According to this guidance, the staff member presses the operation button 8.
Set the denomination and number of coins to be scrutinized. As a result, the main control section 150 causes the CRT display section 10 to display the number of stored ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes. Based on this display, the clerk determines whether or not the required banknotes can be taken out, and if possible, specifies the number of required banknotes using the operation button 8. Then, the main control unit 150 displays the specified denomination and number of denominations on the CRT display unit 10, and also provides guidance such as ``Please check the displayed contents and press the Confirm? button or Correction? button.'' Based on this guidance, when the staff member presses the confirmation button,
The main control unit 150 outputs the above-mentioned withdrawal command to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 .

As a result, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 operates in the same manner as the above-described withdrawal operation, so that the specified number of bills are taken out from the bill storage section 22.23, identified, and temporarily stacked in the temporary accumulation section 38.
After that, they are stored in the banknote storage chamber 5 all at once. Next, the door body 5o of the deposit/withdrawal lower is opened, and the banknote bundle A is lifted by the above-mentioned discharge mechanism and waits for the clerk to take it out. In this case, the withdrawal process will be performed in attendant mode,
Online transactional communications are prohibited. At this time, the main control section 150 updates the cumulative number of coins data with the contents of the above-mentioned withdrawal processing, and causes the printing section in the card/slip processing unit device 1 to print the contents of the withdrawal processing in the clerk mode on a journal.

Therefore, by inserting banknotes taken out from the deposit/withdrawal lower into the deposit/withdrawal slots of other automatic transaction machines that have run out of banknotes and replenish the deposit/withdrawal slots as described above, multiple automatic transaction machine groups can transaction banknotes can be used effectively.

As described above, the number of banknotes stored in the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22 and the thousand yen banknote storage section 21 is determined by the main control unit 150.
When waiting for a transaction, the main control unit 15
0 is displayed on the number display section 164 of the internal monitor 13,
Operation switch 176 for displaying the number of sheets on the remote monitor 175
By pressing , it is displayed on the display section 177. This provides a monitoring function that displays the number of stored banknotes. The above internal monitor 13 and remote monitor 1
The status of each safe, that is, near end, end, near full,
The staff can tell the full status by looking at the number of sheets.

In addition, since the number of sheets is displayed, the status of the safe can be grasped before the notification is made, and advance processing by the staff is possible, which improves the operating efficiency of the device.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, an automatic transaction device is provided that can load, check, inspect, and collect currency using one storage section, simplify the structure, and improve operability. can.
