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 41a and 41b that detect the presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51, the upper banknote presence/absence detector 41b detects that the largest size banknote, 10,000 yen banknote A, is a banknote. When the banknote A is securely stored in the storage chamber 5, 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. Moreover, the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a is a banknote A...
・When the upper end protrudes from the deposit/withdrawal lower during withdrawal or deposit return operations, there is a gap between the lower end of bill A and the optical axis. hand,
Now you can 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, the backup body 59 is
In the position shown in the figure, the customer can input banknote bundles A of mixed denominations and front and back sides into the banknote storage chamber 51 from the deposit/withdrawal lower in a standing position. After inserting the banknotes, the door body 50 is moved to the left in the figure via the handle 5.0a as a signal that the banknotes have been inserted, and the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed. This is detected by a detector (not shown) and the depositing 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 intake row 257, 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 actuating mechanism (not shown) to the fourth position.
As shown in the figure, the banknote bundle A... is pressed to the right and pressed against the take-in row 257 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 taking-in row 257 rotates, the banknote A at the end is taken in, and at this time, the reversing brake belt 58, which is rotating in a direction opposite to the taking-in direction of the banknote A, allows the second and subsequent banknotes to be taken in. The banknotes A are prevented from being placed in the banknote storage chamber 51, and the banknotes A... are sequentially stacked one by one starting from the endmost one.
The sheets are taken in one by one and sent between 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

Then, the banknote bundle A... is fed upward, and after rotating both conveyor belts 53 and 54 in the trench where the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a becomes "bright", 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.

Moreover, 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 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 50. The magnet 73 is released and 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 to move to the next step.

If the signal of the banknote presence/absence detector 47b does not change to "bright" even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the banknote A...
・The mechanism determines that it has been forgotten and begins collection operations. At this time, the operation was carried out while holding the banknotes A... The second 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 until 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 51, so the attraction of the magnet 73 is released and the second conveyor belt 54 is wrapped around it. While returning the arm 7 to which the pulley 64 is attached to its original position, the door body 50

After inserting the banknotes into the bank, the door body 5 is pressed as a signal that the banknotes have been inserted.
Slide 0 to close the deposit/withdrawal lower. As described above with reference to FIG. 4, the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are taken in one by one through the take-in row 257 starting from the endmost banknote. The taken-in banknotes A... are counted by the first banknote passage detector 40a while being sinted, and sent to the inspection section 36.

Here, banknote identification is performed using a method that is completely different from the conventional identification method that captures partial characteristics.In other words, the "short length" and "longitudinal length" of the entire banknote A, "magnetic pattern matching", and "transparent "Color separation of light" and "division matching of fine parts using reflected light" are performed, and "bill type discrimination" is performed.
, "authenticity determination", "goodness/damage determination", and "front/back determination" are performed while passing through the inspection section 30.

As a result, if there is a banknote A that is found to be "false" in the authenticity determination, that is, a banknote that has been overlapped, severely skimmed, or damaged and cannot be recognized as the correct banknote A, , the first sorting gate 39a is rotated to the right when its tip reaches the bill passage detector 40b. The banknotes are then stacked in the temporary stacking section 38 as rejected bills. The rejected tickets A are accumulated in the banknote temporary stacking section 38 until the loading of the deposited banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal lower is completed. And bill storage room 51
The banknote presence/absence detector 41a indicates that all the banknotes A have been taken in.

At this time, the backup 59 is moved to the left by a drive means (not shown). The rejected banknotes A accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 51 in this manner are taken in and conveyed again to be re-inspected.

On the other hand, among the banknotes A that were determined to be "true" in the authenticity determination, genuine bills are transferred to the second distribution by rotating the dart 39b to the left and turned into front bills by the front-back reversing unit 37, and the front bills are The banknotes are directly guided to the banknote stacking section.

In other words, the egg yen banknote A is transferred to the egg yen/excluded banknote temporary storage section 32 via the gate 39C for the third distribution, and the ten thousand yen banknote A is transferred to the fourth distribution through the gate 39C. The 1,000 yen banknote A is guided to the 1,000 yen note temporary storage section 33 via the dirt 39d, and the 1,000 yen banknote A is guided to the 1,000 yen note temporary storage section 34 via the dart 39e.

At this time, in each storage section 20, 21.22, the separator mechanism 2B, 29.30 is located at the deposit initial position, and the claws 132a =..., 133g- of both the upper and lower flannel 4132, 133 hold down the banknote A. (see Figure 8), and each stacking/retrieving device 24
, 25, 26 with temporary storage sections 32, 33, 34 formed on the front sides thereof, the banknote A guided by the impeller 100 is moved to the movable body 108 driven by the pulse motor 110 around the shaft 109. is moving to the left (see Figure 8),
It comes off from the impeller 100 without hitting the guide portion 108b of the movable body 108. At this time, by rotating the rotary body 106, a part of which is made of a high-friction material and has holes, in a clockwise direction, the stopper portion J08b of the rotary body 10B blocks the banknote outlet 112. Therefore, the banknotes A whose impeller 100 has also come off are stacked one by one in an aligned position downward. Further, the alignment of the banknotes A in the longitudinal direction is carried out at the time when the banknotes A are removed from the impeller 1oo and stacked by alignment guide plates 144, 144 which are moved by means not shown. In addition, if an abnormality occurs in the accumulation of any special banknote type, the banknote type will be stored in a separate safe 16 such as egg yen/excluded banknote storage section 20.
mixed accumulation, Also, withdrawals from the safe 16 for that ticket type are also stopped.

Note that unfit bills at the time of deposit are stored in the collected banknote storage section 23.

Next, referring to FIG. 17, temporary storage sections 32, 33.
It is accumulated in 34. The automatic return operation of deposited banknotes A will be explained. First, by turning off the excitation of each vR type pulse motor 138 that drives the separator mechanisms 2B, 29, 30 in the horizontal direction, both the upper and lower flaps A132, 133 are moved by the backup body 145 to stack banknotes A... Each spring 1460 force pushes the temporary storage section 32, 33.
34 banknotes A... are pressed in the direction of the impeller 100.

Next, by rotating the rotating body JOB in the right direction, the banknotes A in the temporary storage section 32, 33° 34 are flattened A132, 13.
Insert it between the claws 132a..., 133a... (as shown in Figure 13). Next, when a vacuum pump (not shown) is driven and the rotating body 1θ6 starts rotating, the opening 106m of the rotating body 106 and the opening 107th of the shaft 107 communicating with the vacuum chamber (in the rotating direction of the rotating body 4
When the paper money (opened by 5°) matches, the banknote A is sucked and withdrawal is started.

From the point at which the rotating body 106 has rotated 45°, the suction in the opening 106a of the rotating body 106 stops, and the tip of the vinegar A stops on the rotating body 10.
At the same time as the bill A is removed from the belt 119, folds and wrinkles at the tip of the bill A are not corrected by a roller 121 made of foam that is coaxial with the roller 118 on which the belt 120 rests and has a larger diameter than the roller 118. (12o) and is pulled into the belt 117. At this time, the opening 1 of the rotating body 106
06a... is a rotary body 106 that gradually closes up.
The force to attract banknote A is gradually weaker than Sievert 119 (
12o) and the retraction by the belt 117 give good results.

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

The suction of the banknote A by the two-sheet prevention roller 113 continues 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 prevented from falling through the ejection opening 112.

Thus, the banknotes A in the temporary storage units 32, 33, and 34 are taken in in the order of 10,000 yen banknotes, egg yen banknotes, and 1,000 yen banknotes, and are accumulated in the temporary stacking unit 38, and then transported all at once to the banknote storage unit 51. do. At the end timing of each stage's loading operation, the separator mechanism 28, 29, 30 is moved back to the deposit initial position, and the banknote presence/absence detector 41dr41e+41f is
When it changes to "bright", it is judged as finished and moves on to the next operation.

Next, Figures 8, 10, and 11 show how to store deposited banknotes.
This will be explained with reference to FIGS.

When the banknote presence/absence detector 41a of the banknote storage section 51 changes to "bright" after the loading is completed, the confirmation step is entered. At this time, when confirmation is pressed and the result of 0N-LINE communication is "Acceptable", the /f luer motor 136 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is driven to rotate the flappers 132 and 133 to open them in the vertical direction. In this way, each stage of the backup body 145,1
45. Banknote groups A and A stored in each row of 145
, A are pushed forward by the suppression springs 146, 146, 146, and come into contact with the stacking/retrieval devices 24, 25', 26 together with the banknotes A in the temporary storage sections 32, 33, 34 and stop. After that, the pulse motor 138 is operated to move the separator mechanism 28, 29, 30 forward, and the pulse motor 138 is rotated in the opposite direction to move the flapper 132, 133.
Support the banknote A with (see Figure 12).

Next, the case of withdrawal will be explained with reference to FIG.

After the denomination, amount, etc. of banknotes A to be paid out are specified using the operation unit 9, the balance of the account is confirmed by communicating with the user on LINE. If the payment specification is within the range of the balance, preparation for withdrawal will begin. First, the pulse motor 138 is operated to open the flappers 132, 133 of the separator mechanisms 30, 29 of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 and the 10,000 yen bill storage section 2.

Next, the pulse motor 110 is operated to move the movable body 10 to the right.
Rotate 8. In this way, the rotating body 106 for taking out the
There is a gap of 0.5 to 1.5 between banknote A and banknote A.

First, take out 9 bills A from the 10,000 yen bill storage section 21. The vacuum I pump is operated to increase the degree of vacuum inside the shaft 107, and then the conveyor belts 119 (120) and l, which form the discharge path R6,
ID extraction begins by rotating L7 and starting rotation of the rotating body 106 as an extraction mechanism. When the designated number of sheets υ is detected, the one-turn clutch rotating the rotating body 106 is de-energized. While the banknote A thus taken out passes through the banknote inspection section 36, it is subjected to "bill type determination", "authenticity determination", "fitness determination", and "front/back determination". Regarding the above-mentioned "ticket type determination", it is not necessary for the tickets that have been inspected at the time of deposit, but the clerk may set the missing amount, so it cannot be said that there are no mistakes in setting, so it is necessary to re-appraise the ticket at the time of withdrawal.

For the same reason, it is necessary to re-examine the "authenticity determination" at the time of withdrawal. Also, stacking of bills will be treated in the same way as counterfeit bills. Regarding the ``fitness determination'', we will accept deposits no matter how dirty, torn, or even a ticket that has been repaired with cellophane chips, as long as it is a genuine banknote and can be determined to be accurate. However, it is determined by software whether the money is to be stored in the 1,000 yen storage section 22 for withdrawal, the 10,000 yen storage section 21, or the 5,000 yen/excluded bill storage section 20. In any case, it is absolutely necessary to avoid using damaged banknotes to pay K to the customer.Therefore, when withdrawing money, the entire banknote A must be inspected and those defined as damaged banknotes must be excluded.

These rejected banknotes are guided and accumulated in the egg yen/rejected banknote storage section 20.

Next, the case of forgetting to collect the item will be explained with reference to FIG. 19.

If the banknote A is left behind in the banknote storage chamber 51, that is, if the banknote presence/absence detector 41b does not become "bright" even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, it is determined that the banknote A has been forgotten, and the deposit/withdrawal lower Close. After that, the banknotes A are taken in one by one and re-inspected, and the banknotes A that are determined to be "genuine banknotes" as a result of the re-inspection are conveyed as indicated by the bold solid line arrows and stored in the collected banknote storage section 23. It is accumulated in the temporary storage section 35.

On the other hand, banknotes A that could not be inspected and determined at the time of re-inspection are once accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38/C, and then returned to the banknote storage section 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal lower and inspected again. In addition, the forgotten banknotes A are accumulated in the temporary storage unit 35 of the collected banknote storage unit 23, and by the time the banknotes A are next forgotten and taken in, they are not merged with the previous banknotes by the separator mechanism 31 as a partitioning means and are separated. If a customer notices that he or she has forgotten to remove the item and immediately comes to collect it, the customer can easily deal with the situation.

Next, we will explain the operation during the close inspection following the end of the transaction in the second section.
This will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, unless there are banknotes in the safe cassette 19 for storing banknotes for collection, the cassette is left empty. Next, the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 22 is set to the payout time state (see FIG. 16), and the conveyance belt that rotationally forms the conveyance path R is run. Then, in order to prevent collisions between the bills A to be taken out, a number of bills R equal to or less than the number of bills arranged at a certain pitch on the thick solid line conveyance path R (conveyance path length/conveyance pitch of bills) is arranged. Once taken out, the taking out of several bills is stopped, only the conveyance path is rotated, the number of bills is checked through the inspection section 36, and the bills are accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 of the collected bill storage section. When the same operation was repeated until the accumulation capacity of the temporary storage section 35 was reached, the separator mechanism 31 was operated to bring it inside the separator mechanism 31, emptying the temporary storage section 35 and making it ready for accumulation, as explained at the time of joining. After that, the same operation is repeated until there are no more banknotes A in the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 22, and the number of 1,000 yen banknotes is counted. In addition, at that time
are stored in the egg yen/excluded banknote storage section 2o.

The same operation is performed for the 10,000 yen banknotes to complete the automatic scrutiny. Note that the banknotes A in the egg yen/excluded banknote storage section 2° are manually counted and compared with the detailed data.

If the banknotes A after inspection are to be used as they are for the next transaction, the banknotes A taken into the Ukin safe may be taken out and stored in the safes 17 and 18 of each denomination in sequence.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in a deposit/withdrawal device having a deposit function and a withdrawal function, when depositing money, if a stacking abnormality occurs in a designated banknote storage section, the designated banknote storage section mixes and stacks the banknotes in another banknote storage section. With this configuration, even if an abnormality occurs during the accumulation of deposited banknotes, weiring can be continued, the operating rate can be increased, and the customer is not made to feel uncomfortable or anxious.
