Reference numeral 50 in the figure is a door body that opens and closes the deposit/withdrawal lower.The handle 50& of this door body 5o is located at a position lower than the top surface of the horizontal operation panel 3b, and the door body 5o is opened and closed by the customer's baggage such as a hand pack. The movement is not obstructed.

Further, a banknote storage chamber 51 is formed below the deposit/withdrawal lower which is opened and closed by the door body 5o.

The banknote storage chamber 51 has a bottom formed by a guide plate 52, and both sides formed by mutually opposing surfaces of the first conveyor belt 53 of the take-in mechanism 15a and the second conveyor belt 54 of the take-out mechanism 15b.

Further, the take-in mechanism 15a has a structure similar to that of a crawler. 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. The take-in roller 57 is formed to have a slightly larger diameter than the pulley 55 so as to protrude from the surface of the first conveyor belt 53 stretched around the pulley 55.
The lower end of 7 is in contact with a reversing brake belt 58 as means for preventing multiple sheets from being taken in.

On the other hand, a back-up body 59 is provided nested in the second conveyor belt 54 . This backup body 5
9 is attached to the guide shaft 6 through a linear bearing 60, and the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are first conveyed by a spring force using the guide shaft 61 as a guide by a packer body actuation mechanism (not shown). When pressed against the belt 53 side, it is configured to be able to move to a position lower than the second conveyor belt 54 in order to escape from the banknote storage chamber 51.

Further, 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 boo 963 integrated with a pulley (not shown) around which the third conveyor belt 62 is wrapped.
It is hung around a pulley 64 provided above. The temporary stacking section 38 of the banknote conveyance path R is formed by the mutually opposing parts of the third conveyance belt 62 and the fourth conveyance belt 66, which is stretched around a pulley 65 disposed at the bottom of the banknote storage chamber 51. A carry-out section R1 is formed to carry out the banknotes A... from the banknote storage section 5.

The pulley 64 is swingable about the support shaft 68 of the lower pulley 63, and the arm 71 is always urged by a spring 69 to a position where it abuts against the stock 70.
It is attached to the free end side of.

This arm 71 is configured to be able to rotate about a support shaft 68 as a fulcrum against the biasing force of a spring 69 by means of an arm operating frame 72 . That is, a plunger 73 of a plunger type magnet 73 is attached to the pivot end side of the arm 71.

The structure is such that it can be rotated clockwise against the biasing force of the spring 69.

Also, banknotes A taken in by the taking-in roller 57
... are fed by a guide plate 76 between conveyor belts 77 and 78 forming a part of the take-in conveyance section R2 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 41h and 41b that detect the presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51, the upper banknote presence/absence detector 41'b detects the largest size banknote, ie, the ten thousand yen banknote A. When the banknote A is securely stored in the banknote storage chamber 51, there is a certain distance between the upper end of the banknote A and the optical axis, so that a "bright" signal can be obtained. . In addition, the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a detects the banknote A.
When the upper end of the banknote A protrudes from the deposit/withdrawal lower during withdrawal or deposit return operations, there is a gap between the lower end of the banknote A and the optical axis. It is now possible to get a "light" signal.

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 depositing and dispensing lower part 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 take-in roller 57, which has rubber with a high friction coefficient baked onto a part of its circumference, also begins to rotate. On the other hand, at the same time, the backup body 59 moves rightward in the drawing by a not-shown pickup mechanism and presses the banknote bundle A to the right as shown in FIG. 1 onto the conveyor belt 53 of No. 1. At this time, the back-up body 59 is configured to be pressed through a spring (not shown) in between, so that it can be pressed reliably regardless of the thickness of the banknote bundle A, and also prevents any strain from being applied to the pull-up mechanism. There is no.

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 the conveyor belts 77 and 78.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the operation of transferring the 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 back-up body 59 moves to the left in the figure and retreats from the banknote storage chamber 51, and the conveyor belts 62 and 6
The tips of the banknotes A..., which are fed in at once through the carry-in section R1 formed by There is.

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

In addition, when the banknotes are automatically returned at the time of deposit or paid banknotes at the time of withdrawal, the banknotes are directly returned to the customer without being 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 in a state of moving to the left in the figure, and once the conveyance operation of the banknote A is stopped, the plunger type magnet 73 is sucked and the second conveyance is carried out. The arm 71 to which the pulley 64 with the belt 54 is attached is rotated clockwise about the support shaft 68. Then, the banknote bundle A in the banknote storage chamber 51 is sandwiched between the first conveyor belt 53 and the second conveyor belt 54.

Thereafter, the door body 50 is opened, and the second conveyor belt 54 on the left is run in the direction of the arrow at a slow conveyance speed that is 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed, and at the same time the first conveyor belt 54 on the right 53 is similarly speeded down and rotated in the direction of the arrow. Then, the banknote bundle A... is fed upward, and the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a is set to "bright".
Both conveyor belts 53 and 54 are rotated until the distance is reached, 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.

Furthermore, since it is firmly held by the biasing force of the spring 75, it will not fall or be blown away by the wind.

On the other hand, when it is detected that the customer has removed the banknote bundle A by changing the signal of the upper banknote presence/absence detector 41b to "bright", the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed by the door body 50 and the magnet 73 is released, the arm 71 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 1 bright even after a predetermined period of time has passed, the banknote A
It is determined that the person has forgotten to remove the... and begins collection operations. At this time, the operation is as follows: First, while holding the banknote A..., the first banknote. Second
The conveyance belts 53 and 54 are run in the direction opposite to the arrow at a low speed of 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed, and the banknotes are taken in when the upper bill presence/absence detector 41b changes to "bright". When the color changes to "light", all the banknotes A have been completely taken into the banknote storage chamber 5, so the suction bow 1 of the magnet 73 is released and the second
The arm 71 to which the pulley 64, around which the conveyor belt 54 is wrapped, is attached is returned to its original position, and the deposit/disburse lower is closed by the door body 50.

The remote monitor 175 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, a display 17B that blinks to indicate the near end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 and a lit light to indicate the end; a display 179 that blinks to indicate the near end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22; and a display 179 that indicates the end of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22; an indicator 180 that indicates the near end of section 2o by blinking and indicates the end by lighting;
It is composed of a display section 177 that displays the smartness, operation steps, and operation status code, and displays the number of loaded or inspected 10,000 yen banknotes, a number button 176, and the like.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, first, 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. Thereby, the main control unit 150 checks the validity of the card. If the card is valid, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display unit 10 to display the operation guide ``Please enter your PIN. Then, the main control unit 150 checks whether the password read from the card and the password input using the operation button 8 match or are related.If they match, or if the relationship satisfies predefined rules. , the main control unit 150 displays on the CRT display unit 10 the message "Please select a transaction type" and also displays the selection button instructions for 1-Deposit, Withdrawal, Transfer, Balance Inquiry.

When the operation button 8 corresponding to deposit is pressed when selecting a transaction item, the main control unit 150 enters a deposit acceptance state and outputs a deposit instruction to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Accordingly, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 opens the door body 50 of the deposit/withdrawal lower. Next, when the customer inserts the bundle of banknotes A into the banknote storage chamber 51 in an upright position with mixed denominations and backs, and then closes the door body 5o, a detector (not shown) detects that the door body 5o is closed. .

In addition, the main control unit 15
0 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 taken-in banknote A is conveyed via the taking-in conveyance path R2. At this time, banknote A
Input is detected by the bill passing detector 40a, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of accepted bills based on the detection signal. In addition, when the banknote A passes through the inspection section 36, the "short side length", "long side length", and "magnetic pattern matching" are performed.
, ``color separation of transmitted light,'' ``division and matching of fine parts using reflected light,'' and other methods to ``distinguish banknote types,'' ``authenticity determination,'' ``good/damage determination,'' and ``distinguish front and back.''
is performed, and the results are supplied to the main control section 150.

Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). If the main control unit 150 still cannot recognize the banknote A1 as a valid banknote due to overlapping, extremely skewed, or damaged banknotes, the main control unit 150 sends a rejection signal to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Output. This causes the tip of the banknote A to pass through the banknote passage detector 40.
When reaching point b, in the first distribution, the gate 39h is rotated to the right. Then, the banknotes A are temporarily stacked in the temporary stacking section 38 via the conveyance path R3.

On the other hand, it is determined as "true" in the authenticity discrimination, and "true" in the front/back discrimination.
In the case of a round yen bill that is determined to be "back", the main control unit 150 outputs the signal to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Accordingly, the banknotes A are sorted by the gates 39a and 39b and conveyed to the front-back reversing section 37. The banknotes A that have been reversed by the front/back reversing unit 37 are transported via a transport path R4, sorted by a gate 39d, and transported via a transport path R5. are accumulated in the temporary storage section 32 of.

At this time, in each storage section 20, 21.22, the separator mechanism 2B, 29.30 is in the deposit initial position, and both the upper and lower flaps and the claws 132a of 132, 133...

133a... are in a state of holding down banknotes A (see Fig. 8), and temporary storage sections 32, 33, 34 are formed in front of each stacking/retrieval device 24, 25° 26, The banknote A guided by the impeller 100 is moved to a movable body 108 driven by a 79 rus motor 110 around a support shaft 109.
is moved to the left (see Fig. 8), the movable body 108
The impeller 100 collides with the guide portion 108b of the
deviate from At this time, by rotating the rotary body 106, a part of which is made of a high friction body and has holes, in the clockwise direction, the stopper portion 10 of the rotary body 10B is
Since the banknote 8b blocks the banknote outlet 112, the banknotes A that have come off the impeller 100 are aligned and stacked one by one downward. Further, the longitudinal direction of the banknotes A is aligned by alignment guide plates 144 and 144 that are moved by means not shown.
It is carried out at the time when it is removed 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. Even banknotes that are determined to be "true" in the above-mentioned authenticity determination and "face" in the front/back determination are stored in the temporary storage units 32, 33, . 34
are accumulated in At the time of the above accumulation, the passing detector was 40m.

Based on the detection signals 40n and 40o, the main control unit 150 counts the number of accumulated yen, thousand yen, and ten thousand yen banknotes using a counter (not shown).

On the other hand, when the detector 41a r 4 J b detects that there is no bill in the bill storage chamber 51, the rotation of the take-in roller 57 is stopped and the take-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 sandwiched between the conveyor belts 82 and 62, and are collectively conveyed through the conveyance path R1. and transported to the banknote storage chamber 51. (See Figure 7). The rejected bills thus returned to the banknote storage chamber 51 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,
The count is verified. Temporary storage unit 32 corresponding to the number of 10,000 yen banknotes, the number of egg yen banknotes, and the number of 1,000 yen banknotes among the genuine notes determined by the tsumashi inspection unit 36 and each type of note.
Passage detectors 40m, 40 on conveyance path R5 to ~34
The number of sheets counted by n and 40o is determined by the main control unit 1.
50, and counting is guaranteed by double checking.

After the counts are verified in this way, the main control unit 15
0 indicates the number of roll types and total deposit amount on the CRT of operation panel 3 $
-'; Display it on the capital 10 and send it to the customer 7. Encourage them to confirm the amount and number of ticket types.

When the customer presses the confirmation button, after online communication,
When the acceptance is "OK", the pulse motor 136 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is driven to flash the flash e13:z, xs.
Rotate s to open it vertically. In this way, the banknote group A stored in each tier can be removed by the back-up body 145 of each tier.
is pushed forward by the pressing spring 146 and moves forward into the temporary storage section 3
Together with banknotes A of 2.33.34, they come into contact with the stacking/retrieval device 24, 25, and 26 and stop.

Thereafter, the separator mechanism 28, 29. so is moved forward, the pulse motor 136 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the banknote A is supported at the flanges 132 and 133 (see Fig. 12).

Due to the above mechanism operation, each temporary accumulation section 32, 33.

34 tickets are stored in the storage sections 20, 21, and 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 units 34 , 33 .

The 32 banknotes A are taken in in the order of 10,000 yen banknotes, 1,000 yen banknotes, and egg yen banknotes, and are accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38.

That is, by first turning off the excitation of each VR tie f-pulse motor 136 that drives the seven crater mechanisms 2B and 29.30 in the horizontal direction, both the upper and lower flat/'? 132,1
33 is pushed together with the stacked banknotes A by the force of the spring 146 by the back-up body 145, and the temporary storage section 32.3
3. 34 banknotes A... are pressed in the direction of the impeller 100. Next, by rotating the rotating body 1.08 to the right, the temporary storage sections 32 and 33 are opened.

34 banknotes A to 7 rattupa J 32. , , Insert between the claws 132a..., 133a... of J 33 (
(See Figure 13). Next, when a vacuum pump (not shown) is driven and the rotating body 106 starts rotating, the shaft 10 communicates with the opening 106a of the rotating body 106 and the vacuum chamber.
When the banknotes A are aligned with the opening 107a of No. 7 (opened by 45 degrees in the rotating direction of the rotating body), the banknote A is sucked and withdrawal is started. At the point when the rotary body 106 rotates 45 degrees, the suction in the opening 106a of the rotary body 106 stops, and the tip of the banknote A is drawn between the rotary body 106 and the belt 119.

Note that stacking of banknotes A is prevented by suctioning the banknotes A with a double-sheet prevention roller 113, which is hollow in the center and connected to a vacuum chamber, and has an opening on the side facing the banknote A.

The suction of the banknote A by the two-sheet prevention row 2113 continues until the lower end of the banknote A is supported by the seven flaps 133 after the withdrawal is completed, so that the banknote A is prevented from falling from the takeout port 112.

The timing at which the intake operation of each stage ends is determined by the separator mechanism 2B.
, 29.30 is retracted to the deposit initial position and the banknote presence/absence detector 4 J a l 4 if .

It is determined that the process is finished when 41g changes to "bright".

When all the deposited banknotes are temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38, the banknote A is transferred to the banknote storage chamber 51-! Transport in bulk. (See Figure 7). Thereafter, all of 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 150
The CRT display unit 10 displays the message ``We will return the deposited banknotes.'' In this way, “
The flow of banknotes is as shown in Figure 20.

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 5.
1, all the deposited banknotes are returned to the customer by the banknote discharging mechanism (pop-up mechanism) shown in FIG. In other words, the returned banknotes are not inspected at all. The discrimination function is exactly the same as when depositing, but dare to
The reason why the discrimination function is not used is that if the count at the time of deposit and the count at the time of return do not match, the means of recovery will be extremely complicated, and it will be difficult to verify the count due to overlapping, etc. that occurs when taking out the banknote at the time of return. This is because it may not be possible to remove the

However, depending on the arrangement of each part of the principal withdrawal mechanism, it is mechanically possible to recover by trying.

Next, when the transaction type is selected, when the operation button 8 corresponding to withdrawal is pressed, the main control unit 150 displays a message on the CRT display that says ``Please press the button for the amount and finally press the yen button.'' Display it as 10. Next, the customer inserts the spiritual amount using the operation button 8 according to the instructions. By inputting this amount, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display unit 10 to display a guide message saying, ``If the amount is correct, press the confirmation button, or if you want to change the exchange button, press the correction button.''

By pressing this button, the main control unit 150 displays the guidance text "Communication in progress. Please wait for a while."
It is displayed on the T display section 10.

At this time, the main control unit 150 performs an online father's message and outputs a withdrawal command to the deposit/withdrawal device 12. Thereby, the deposit/withdrawal device 12 takes out banknotes corresponding to the above-mentioned amount from the banknote storage sections 21 and 22, and causes them to be accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38. That is, first, the flappers 1.32 and 133 of the separator mechanisms 30, 29 of the 10,000 yen bill storage section 22 and the 1,000 yen bill storage section 21 are opened by operating the noggle smoke 136. Next, the pulse motor 110 is operated to rotate the movable body 10B in the right direction. In this way, the gap between the rotating body 106 for taking out and the banknote A is 0.5 to 1.5 ta.
I can. (See Figure 14).

First, operate the vacuum pump to take out banknotes A from the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 32 to increase the degree of vacuum in the shaft loZ, then rotate the conveyor belt 119 forming the conveyance path R6, and rotate the rotating body 106 as a takeout mechanism. Removal begins by starting rotation. The bills taken out in this manner are distributed to gates 39d, 39e, and 39f.

39g and 39h, are conveyed via the conveyance path R41R2rR3, and are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38. At this time, the bills taken out from the ten thousand yen bill storage section 22 are detected by the bill passing detector 40r, and the main control section 150 counts the number of bills taken out based on the detection signal. Further, the banknotes taken out from the thousand 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. When the removed banknote passes through the inspection unit 36, “bill type discrimination” and the like are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control unit 150.

Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). Further, the banknotes to be 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 banknotes stacked 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.

Further, the main control unit 150 performs a number verification based on whether the added number of thousand yen banknotes and ten thousand yen banknotes according to the cup appreciation result matches the accumulated number of banknotes.

At this time, the taken out banknote A passes through the inspection section 36 and is
Bill storage section 22.21 corresponding to each volume according to "Bill Type Discrimination"
It is reconfirmed that this is the type of ticket taken out. Normally, old tickets are not required for this "distinguishing the ticket type," but it is best to double-check as it is impossible to say that there are no mistakes made 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.

These are used for withdrawal in the 10,000 yen storage section 22 and the 1,000 yen storage section 21.
Alternatively, they may be stored in the round yen/elimination ticket storage section 20; in the former case, a fitness check is required at the time of withdrawal, but in the latter case, it is not particularly necessary.

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

When carrying out fitness/failure classification control, unfit bills are those that are overlapping that occurs when normal bills are dispensed, have significant skidding, or have a pitch exceeding the standard, that is, are abnormally conveyed bills, and cannot be identified by the validation section 36. Same as excluded banknotes, round dried yen/excluded ticket storage section 2
0, and are collected and stored. In addition, when a rejected ticket is generated, the first case 39a is rotated to the left and the ticket is accumulated and stored in the round dried 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.

When eliminated tickets are generated in this way, additional withdrawals are made to replenish the number of tickets for the specified number of schools.

Therefore, the paid bills accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 are
The bills are sent out in batches 9 by the mechanism shown in FIG. 7 and accumulated in the bill storage chamber 51. After that, 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 71 and waits for the banknote A to be dispensed and removed by the customer.

In addition, if the transaction becomes "unacceptable" at the end of online communication, the paid bills accumulated in the bill storage chamber 51 can be recovered by taking in the bills one by one and discriminating them in the same way as when depositing. Each winding type is stored in the storage section 22°21. In this way, by employing a parallel operation in which banknote withdrawal is started at the same time as communication begins, processing time per transaction can be significantly shortened and efficiency can be increased. 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 "light" and 41a is "dark", the tab and banknotes have been completely pulled back and taken into the banknote storage chamber 51, so the attraction of the magnet 73 is released and the second The arm 71 attached to the pulley 64 around which the conveyor belt 54 is wrapped is returned to its original position, and the door body 5o 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 processing is carried out in an operation mode in which the collection/loaded banknote storage section 23 is continued until it is full, an operation mode in which no correspondence is made between collected transactions and collected banknotes, and an operation mode in which correspondence is established, that is, the first collection. The bills are stored in the collected/loaded bill storage section 23, the second collected bills are kept in the temporary storage section 35 separated by the separator mechanism 31, and the third collected bills are kept in the bill storage chamber 51. Operation is possible and collection processing can be performed up to the third time without stopping the device.

In the above explanation, the collected banknotes are taken directly into the collected/loaded banknote storage unit 23 without passing through the inspection unit 36, but in order to sort the banknotes, the cart 39g is tilted upward and the collected banknotes are passed through the inspection unit 36. After identifying and counting the banknotes and accumulating them in the temporary stacking section 38, they are returned to the banknote storage chamber 51 all at once, and this time, the gate 39g is pushed down, the gate 39g is moved downward, and the banknotes are taken in again and collected/loaded into the banknote storage section 23. It is also mechanically possible to insert it.

In addition, the collected banknotes can be inspected and counted in the same manner as deposits, and can be sorted and put into the banknote storage sections 20, 21, and 22 for each type of banknote.

Next, regarding the banknote loading process, Fig. 23 (a) (b)
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in (C) 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. (STl). By pressing down this loading button 160, the main control unit 150 activates the detector 41 e +' 41

Temporary storage section 32, 33, by the detection signal from ,...
34. Check to see if there are any bills remaining on the temporary stacking section 38, bill storage chamber 51, and each conveyance path R.ST?
), 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 generated. (ST, 9). This alarm causes the clerk to remove the banknote from the banknote storage section 21,22.

(ST4). At this time, when the replenishment button 163 is pressed down (ST22), 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 main control unit 150 checks whether or not there are banknotes in the loading banknote storage section 23 based on the detection signal from the detector 41h (5T5), and if there are no banknotes, the internal monitor 1 displays a message to that effect.
The operation status display section 161 of No. 3 displays an error code to generate an alarm, and the collection/loading display 174 notifies that there are no loaded bills. (ST6). According to this report, 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. (ST7).

In addition, the main control unit 150 checks whether or not there are any bills remaining in the thousand yen bill storage section 21 and ten thousand yen bill storage section 22 based on the detection signals from the detectors 41 t and 41 g 5T23
), if any banknotes remain, an error code is displayed on the operating status display section 161 of the internal monitor 13 to notify the user of this fact. (ST2'4). Upon this notification, the staff member removes the remaining banknotes from the thousand yen bill storage section 21 and the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22, or presses the loading button 160. (
Si20). At this time, since the loading button 160 is pressed down, the process advances to the next step (ST9). (ST8
). 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 and there are no banknotes remaining at all locations, the main control unit 150 directs the gate 39a to the right for distribution, the gate 39b to the right for distribution, and the gate 39g for distribution to the bottom. Rotate to

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-day banknotes are accumulated in the respective temporary storage sections 34 and 33. (Sr1). and,
When either the 10,000 yen temporary storage unit 34 or the 1,000 yen temporary storage unit 33 reaches 100 banknotes, 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 banknotes are stored in the thousand yen banknote storage section 21. When this storage operation is completed, the banknote retrieval from the banknote storage section 23 is started, and when the temporary storage section 33, 34 reaches 100 sheets, the retrieval operation is temporarily stopped and the 100 banknotes are handled. Store it in the storage compartment. (STIO).

This operation is carried out until there are no more bills left, that is, until the empty detector 42 detects that there are no bills in the bill storage section 23 and the detector 41h becomes "bright". (ST11). After the last banknote is conveyed and accumulated in the temporary storage sections 33 and 34, the main control section 150 detects that no banknote remains in the conveyance path R of each section using the detector 40a... and starts each section. Make it stop. At this time, the main control section 150 causes the rejected tickets accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38 to be conveyed all at once to the banknote storage chamber 51.

(See Figure 7). (ST12). Next, bill storage room 5
The banknotes No. 1 are taken out one by one and accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 in the same manner as the collection operation described above, and then stored in the banknote storage section 23 upon detection of no remaining banknotes.

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 Fig. 5, the number of ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills for each roll type and the total pot amount are printed, and the number of ten thousand yen bills and one thousand yen bills are displayed on the number display section 164 of the internal monitor 13. Display the number of sheets for each species.

(ST13). 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 staff member checks and confirms the number of each ticket type and amount that he or she initially set based on the number of tickets, the contents printed on the glossy paper, and the contents displayed on the internal monitor 13. At the time of this confirmation, the staff member presses down the storage button 166 on the internal monitor 13. (ST24). In this way, the temporary storage section 33'+3
The last bill stacked in banknotes 4 is stored in each storage section 21 and 22 to complete the loading process.

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, all the loaded banknotes in the 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknote storage sections 22 and 23 and the valley temporary storage section 34 and 33 are processed in the same way as the withdrawal operation when withdrawing money. The sheets are taken out one by one in the transport path R.
6 and is transported to the inspection section 36. Assignment is gate 3
9a is rotated to the right and 39h is rotated to the left in advance, and the banknotes that have passed through the inspection section 36 are sorted out.
Following the direction of a, it passes through the conveyance path R3, and the distribution follows the direction of the gate 39h and enters the conveyance path R7. After that, the banknotes are conveyed from the conveyance path R7 through the conveyance path R2, and the dirt 39g is rotated downward for sorting, and the banknotes enter the conveyance path R5 and are accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 of the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23. and stored. This action is also 10 like when loading.
By repeating the intermittent operation every 0 sheets, each storage section 22.21 and temporary storage section 34.33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1000 yen banknotes become empty,
The process continues until there are no banknotes left on the conveyance path.

(ST15). The flow of banknotes in the return processing at the time of loading is as shown in FIG.

Next, regarding midway replenishment of banknotes, see Figure 23(a).

This will be explained with reference to the flow of banknotes shown in the figure. First, the clerk presses the replenishment button 163 on the internal monitor 13 and sets the number of replenishable coins for each denomination using the keyboard 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 15
0 is displayed on the CRT display section 1o. [Loading in progress, please wait for a while.] ” will be displayed.

Next, the main control unit 150 checks whether or not there are banknotes in the loading banknote storage section 23 based on the detection signal from the detector 41b (ST, 5), and if there are no banknotes, the operation status display section of the internal monitor 13 displays a message to that effect. 161 will generate an alarm by displaying an error code, and will also collect/collect unloaded banknotes.
The loading indicator 174 notifies you. (STf5).

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
'T7).

In addition, the main control unit 150 operates the 1,000 yen bill storage section 21 and the 10,000 yen bill storage section 2 based on detection signals from the detectors 41L and 41g.
Check whether there are any banknotes left in 2 ST23
If L banknotes remain, an error code is displayed on the operation status display section 161 of the internal monitor 13 to notify the user of this fact. (S'T 24'). Upon this notification, the staff member removes the remaining banknotes from the thousand yen bill storage section 21 and the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22, or presses the replenishment button 163. (ST
, T5).

At this time, since the replenishment button 163 is pressed down,
Proceed to the next step (ST16).

(ST8). However, if there are collected banknotes, they are removed and then the banknotes for loading are stored.

If there are banknotes for loading and there are no remaining banknotes,
The main control unit 150 rotates the gate 39a to the right for distribution, rotates the gate 39h to the right for distribution, and rotates the dart 39g downward for distribution. As a result, the banknotes in the banknote storage section 23 are taken out one by one in the same way as the above-mentioned takeout operation at the time of withdrawal.
It is transported to the inspection section 36 by the transport path R6. Then,
The inspection section 36 discriminates the banknotes and sends the result of the classification to the main control section 1.
Output to 50. Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the number of thousand yen banknotes and the number of ten thousand yen banknotes. &f section 36 above
The banknotes that have passed through are operated in the same manner as during the deposit processing, and the rejected tickets are accumulated in the temporary storage section 38, and the 10,000 yen banknotes and the 1,000 yen banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage units 34' and 33, respectively.

(STJ6). At this time, the main control unit 150 controls the 1,000 yen bill,
It is checked whether the number of each ten thousand yen banknote to be discriminated and the set number of banknotes match. 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 the verified ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes matches the set number, the banknotes at the time of the match are conveyed and accumulated in the temporary storage sections 33 and 34, and then the main control unit 150 The detector 4CIa... detects that no banknotes remain in the transport path R, and each part is stopped. At this time, the main control section 150 collectively sends the rejected tickets accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 to the banknote storage chamber 51. (See Figure 7). (ST27). Next, the banknotes in the banknote storage chamber 51 are taken out one by one in the same manner as the collection operation described above, and after being accumulated in the temporary storage section 35, they are stored in the banknote storage section 23 after detecting whether there are any remaining banknotes. .

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).

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 sheets for each effort and the amount that he or she initially set based on this number of sheets, the contents printed on the journal, and the contents displayed on the internal monitor 13. At the time of this confirmation, the staff member presses the storage button 166 on the internal monitor 13. (
ST19).

In this way, the last bill accumulated in the temporary storage section 33.34 is stored in the valley storage section 21.22, and the loading process is completed. (ST, ? (1). At this time, the main control unit 15υ adds the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and one thousand yen banknotes stored in the banknote storage units 22', 21 by the number of replenishing banknotes.

If the banknotes cannot be verified due to a calculation error or the like at the time of setting by the staff, the return button 167 on the internal monitor 13 is pressed. When this button is pressed, all the loaded banknotes in the storage units 2;', 23 and temporary storage units 34 and 33 for 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes will be processed in the same manner as when withdrawing money. The sheets are taken out one by one in the transport path R6.
and is transported to the inspection section 36. Sorting is at gate 39
a is pre-rotated to the right, 39h is pre-rotated to the left,
The banknotes that have passed through the inspection section 36 are sorted according to the direction of the gate 39a, passed through the conveyance path R3, and then sorted through the gate 39h.
Follow the direction and enter the transport path R7. After this, conveyance path R
The banknotes are conveyed from 7 through the conveyance path R2, and are sorted by rotating the dirt 39g downward, entering the conveyance path R5, and being accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 of the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23. and stored.

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 3'4.33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes are emptied, and the paper is removed from the conveyance path. This continues until there are no more banknotes left, and the game is complete. (ST2)).

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 are near the 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 a number of sheets other than those required during the business hours for a short period of time, and it is possible to reduce wasted time due to loading.

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, in the loading process, stacking and storing are repeated intermittently every 100 bills of each type, so during the process,
Even if banknotes jam in the takeout section, transport section, stacking section, etc., the banknotes stored up to that point are guaranteed to be counted.
Leave the banknotes in the storage section 22.21 for 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes as they are, remove only the temporary storage section 34.33 and the banknotes that are being transported or taken out, and after resetting the banknotes, press the loading button 16.
You can continue by pressing 0.

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 the front and back sides of the banknotes arranged and are in good condition. As for the inspection function, all the functions of ``distinguishing the type'', ``distinguishing fronts and backs'', ``distinguishing integrity'', and ``distinguishing authenticity'' are utilized, just like when depositing money.

In the case of replenishment loading using the fourth safe cassette 19, the replenishment button 163 is enabled in the customer standby state9, and when the loading process is started, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT display section 10, and when the loading process is completed, it is automatically displayed. It is set to return. However, depending on the user's specifications, it is also possible to execute transactions other than deposit/withdrawal transactions even during this replenishment, or even to accept/receive card passbook media when selecting personal withdrawal transactions. When it is fully loaded, the processing time is long because the clerk only processes it first thing in the morning and there are a large number of bills, so it would be wise to suspend handling as an automatic transaction loading box, and it would be better for customers to do so. good.

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 front customer service section and turns it on 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 loading using the operation button 8. Then, the main control unit 150 enters the loaded banknote acceptance state and outputs a deposit command to the cash withdrawal mechanism 12,
The CRT display unit 1O displays a message saying, ``Please insert the banknotes to be loaded into the cash withdrawal area.''

Accordingly, 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 5, the door body 50 is closed. Thereafter, the banknotes are taken out one by one from the banknote storage chamber 51 by performing the same operation as the above-described deposit operation, and the banknotes are taken out one by one from the banknote storage chamber 51.
The denominations are accumulated in the temporary storage section 32, 33, 34 of the corresponding denomination via the denomination. When the above operations are completed, the main control section 150 causes the CRT display section 10 to display the number of denominations of each denomination accumulated in each temporary storage section, and also causes the "storage" and "return" buttons to be displayed and designated. It's the vagina, at this time.
The main control unit 150 issues a glossary in which the numbers of each type of banknote, such as 10,000 yen banknotes, 1000 yen banknotes, 1000 yen banknotes, and excluded rolls, are printed as shown in FIG. 27 in the same manner as in the replenishment loading process described above. Thereby, the staff member confirms the loading contents and, if they match, presses the operation button 8 corresponding to storage. Then, the temporary storage units 32 and 33.

Thirty-four banknotes are stored in the banknote storage sections 20, 21 and 22, respectively. 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, detailed examination processing for settling transactions on day - will be explained with reference to the 70-chart shown in FIG. 28 and the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. 29.

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. (S
i20). The staff member then presses down the locking button 168 on the internal monitor 13.

(Si32). By pressing this locking button 168,
When the main control unit 15.0 is in the scrutiny state, it outputs a scrutiny command to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. At this time, the main control section 15v checks whether or not there are any bills left in the bill storage section 23 based on the detection signal from the detector 41b (5T33), and if there are any bills left, the operation status of the internal monitor 13 is displayed. Display section 161
The alarm will be displayed in a sheller code and an alarm will be generated. (
5T34). In response to this alarm, the staff member
Either remove the bill from the banknote or press the storage button 166. (Si35).

Accordingly, the main control unit 1sti transfers the banknotes to the banknote storage unit 20 in the same manner as in the withdrawal process. ．． 21 and 22 and accumulated in the temporary storage section 34. That is, first, the 10,000 yen bill storage section 2
2 separator mechanism 3° wrapper 132.133)
and the pulse motor 136 to open it. Next, the arrow motor 11θ is operated to rotate the movable body 10J9 in the right direction. In this way, the gap between the rotating body 106 for taking out and the bill A can be narrowed by 0.5 to 1.5. (See Figure 14)
Next, the vacuum pump that takes out the banknote A from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22 is operated to increase the degree of vacuum inside the shaft 107, and then the conveyor belt 1.19 forming the conveyance path R6 is rotated and taken out. Removal begins by starting the rotation of the rotating body 106 as a mechanism. The bills taken out in this way are sorted through gates 39e and 39f + 39.
Sorted by a +39h and 39g, conveyance path R5 + R4
・Transported via R3, R7, and R2, and temporarily stored in the storage section 34
are accumulated in At this time, the banknotes taken out from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 22 are detected by the banknote passage detector 40f, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal. Further, when the taken-out banknote passes through the inspection unit 36, “bill type discrimination J, etc. is performed, and the result is supplied to the main control unit 150.
Reference numeral 50 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown).

Further, the banknotes stacked in the temporary storage section 34 are detected by a banknote passage detector 40), and the main control unit 150 counts the number of banknotes stacked based on the detection signal.

Then, when the number of bills accumulated by the passage detector 40 reaches 100, the main controller 15θ temporarily stops taking out the bills from the bill storage section 22, and stores the 100 bills into the bill storage section 23. 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 continued 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".

In addition, a thousand yen bill storage section 21, a round dried yen/exclusion ticket storage section 20
The paper is also operated in the same manner as when it is stored in the banknote storage unit 23 from the 10,000 yen banknote storage unit 22. (
ST36).

When the banknote storage section 23 becomes full during the above inspection (
sr37), the main control unit 150 issues a printout of the details of banknote inspection up to the middle to the journal 1,000 by a printing unit (not shown) in the card/slip processing unit device 11, and also performs an operation indicating replacement of the loading safe. The status code is displayed on the display section 161 of the internal monitor 13 and the remote monitor 17.
．． 5 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 ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes for each type of banknote, and the number of banknotes stored in each banknote stacking section. (S
T, 98).

The staff member receives this journal and also places it in the banknote storage section 2.
Replace 3 with an empty cassette. (5Ts9).

Then, by pressing down the tightening button 166 again (ST32), the inspection is performed again. Also, the empty banknote detector 42 detects that there are no banknotes in the banknote storage section 22, 21, 20, and the detector 41g.

Examination is performed until 41f and 41e become "bright". Then, after the last banknote has been conveyed and accumulated in the temporary storage section 35, the main control section 150 detects by the detector 40 that no banknote remains in the conveyance path R of each section, Stop each part.

At this time, the main control unit 150 displays the respective numbers of ten thousand yen bills, one thousand yen bills, and one thousand yen bills stored in the collected/loaded bill storage section 23 on the number display section 164 of the internal monitor 13. . Also, at this time, the main control unit 150 controls the card
A printing section (not shown) in the slip processing unit 11 prints all the numbers of bills to be inspected, that is, the number of bills for each bill type, as shown in FIG. 30, on the glossary.

(ST40). The clerk pulls out the fourth safe cassette 19 and compares the contents of the journal with the contents. (ST47)
.

However, the rejected tickets that occurred during the above inspection will be sorted out)3
9a and 39h, the bills are temporarily stacked in the temporary stacking 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 returned to the bill storage chamber 51 all at once. , the banknotes are taken out one by one and accumulated in the temporary stock pipe section 35 for collected/loaded banknotes. At this time, each banknote that has been inspected is in 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 at the time of withdrawal, that is, the number of banknotes to be withdrawn from the number of banknotes inserted into the banknote storage unit 20r21. The number of deposited tickets is added to the result, and the number of tickets inspected at the time of examination is subtracted from this addition result to calculate the number of tickets to be retracted. It is calculated by adding the number of tickets collected in the rejected ticket stacking section 49 and the number of redirected tickets to the temporary stacking section 38. As a result, at the time of checkout, the journal contains the number of loaded sheets for each denomination type, the number of partially loaded sheets, and the total number of loaded sheets, 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 banknote occurs during inspection, it will be stopped immediately.For the banknotes that have entered the storage section 23, which is stored in 100-sheet increments and has a divider, the contents will be shown by journal output at that time. There is no need to re-examine the stored banknotes. In other words, it is only necessary to continue to closely examine only the banknotes currently being accumulated in the temporary storage unit 35 and the banknotes that are being taken out and transported.

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. (8T51). Then, the clerk presses the inquiry button l'69 on the internal monitor 13, and uses the keyboard 173 to set the number of partially inspected coins for each denomination.

(5T52).

At this time, the main control unit 150 stores the number of inspected sheets in a memory (not shown) for each gold plate. The main control unit 150 still checks that the operating state is not in a standby state or is not in the process of depositing or withdrawing money, and even if a portion of the predetermined number of bills is scrutinized, 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). (ST5,1).

When the above conditions are satisfied, the main control unit 150 gives a command to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 to examine a portion of a predetermined number of coins. Also, at this time, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display unit 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 41a (5T54), and if there are banknotes, the operation status display unit 16 of the internal monitor 13 displays a message to that effect. An alarm is generated by displaying an error code. (Si55). In response to this alarm, the clerk removes the bill from the bill storage section 23 or presses the storage button 166.

(Si56). As a result, the main control unit 150 takes out the banknotes from the banknote storage units 2o, 21+22 and accumulates them in the temporary storage unit 34 in the same manner as in the withdrawal process.

(Si57). That is, first, the flappers 132 and 133 of the separator mechanism 30 of the ten thousand yen bill storage section 22 are opened by operating the pulse Tanabata 136.

Next, the pulse motor 210 is operated to move the movable body 10 to the right.
Rotate 8. In this way, the gap between the rotating body 106 for taking out and the bill A can be 0.5 to 1.5 tran.

(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 of the waste begins. The bills taken out in this way are sorted into boxes 39e and 39.
f, 39a, 39h, and 39g, and transport path R5
+ R4+ R3+ R7.

It is transported via R2 and accumulated in the temporary storage section 34.

At this time, the bills taken out from the 10,000 yen bill storage section 22 are detected by the bill passing detector 40r, and the main control section 150 counts the number of bills taken out based on the detection signal. In addition, when the removed banknote passes through the inspection section 36,
``Ticket type discrimination'' is performed, and the results are sent to the main control unit 150.
supplied to Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the result of the jealousy using a counter (not shown). Furthermore, the banknotes to be accumulated in the temporary storage section 34 are detected to be accumulated by the banknote passage detector 4ad, and the main control unit 1
50 counts the number of stacked sheets.

When the number of ten thousand yen bills collected by the passage detector 40Δ matches the set number (Si58), the main control unit 150 stops taking out bills from the bill storage section 22, and subsequently removes the bills from the bill storage section 21. Starts taking out 1,000 yen banknotes. (Si20). And temporary storage section 3
When the main control unit 150 determines that the number of 4,000 yen belts has reached the set number (Si20), the operation of taking out the banknotes from the banknote storage unit 2 is stopped and the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage unit 23. (Si
61). At this time, the main control unit 150 controls the internal monitor 13
The number of 90,000 yen bills and 1,000 yen bills stored in the bill storage section 23 is displayed on the number display section 164. Also, at this time, the main control section 150 controls the card/slip processing unit device 1.
As shown in FIG. 32, the number of ten-thousand-yen banknotes and thousand-yen banknotes is recorded on the journal by a printing unit (not shown) in the journal.

(Sr1.?). The staff member checks the contents of the journal and the contents accumulated in the safe cassette 19.

(Sr63).

Note that even if the inquiry button 169 is pressed, if the device is on standby or the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 is in operation, or if the set number of 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen bills has been examined, When the main control unit 150 determines that any of the yen banknotes is in the end or near-end state, it prints the total gator as inquiry data and issues a journal in which a part of the banknotes cannot be scrutinized.

Furthermore, when the safe of a certain type of bill becomes full, the full state can be released by checking a portion of the predetermined number of bills from the safe in the same manner as described above and storing them in the bill 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 lO.
Click to display a message that says, ``Please enter the denomination and number of coins to be examined.'' Based on this guidance, the clerk uses the operation button 8 to set the denomination and number of denominations to be inspected. Accordingly, 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 it is possible to take out the required banknotes, and if possible, specifies the number of required bills using the operation button 8. Then, the main control unit 150 displays the designated denomination and number of denominations on the CRT display unit 10, and
The user is guided to "Please check the displayed content and press the confirmation button or correction button." Based on this guide,
When the clerk 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 aforementioned withdrawal operation, and the specified number of bills are deposited in the bill storage section 22.23.
The banknotes are taken out, identified, and temporarily accumulated in the banknote stacking section 38, and then stored in the banknote storage chamber 51 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, withdrawal processing is performed in clerk mode, and online transaction communication is 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, it is necessary to insert the banknotes taken out from the deposit/withdrawal lower into the deposit/withdrawal slots of other automatic transaction machines that have run out of bills, and replenish the deposit/withdrawal slots as described above. Banknotes traded in the group of transaction devices can be effectively utilized.

In the embodiment described above, the remaining banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal storage section at the start of the loading process are notified by the internal monitor, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the notification may be made by a remote monitor.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to check whether currency remains in the storage section in which the currency to be traded is stored during loading, and it is possible to provide a button device loaded in the storage section.
