Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention takes in and conveys input paper sheets from a storage section that serves as an input port and a delivery port for paper sheets, and also delivers the paper sheets to this storage section. The present invention relates to a paper sheet taking in and sending device.

[Technical Background of the Invention and its Problems] An example of this type of device is an automatic cash transaction device. When depositing money, the automatic cash transaction device sequentially takes out the banknotes loaded and housed in the input slot one by one and sends them out to the conveyance path. In the middle of this conveyance path, there is an inspection section that discriminates the banknotes, and a gate is driven based on the discrimination result of this inspection section, so that genuine bills are stored in the regular bill storage section and rejected bills are stored in the rejected bill storage section. They are designed to be accumulated. Furthermore, when dispensing money, among the bills taken out from the genuine bill storage section, those that are determined to be payable by the inspection section are sent out to the delivery port via the conveyance path.

In recent years, some automatic cash transaction devices of this type have a common banknote inlet and outlet in order to improve operability. In such an automatic cash transaction device, the banknote placement stand disposed at the input port and the output port has a width of 4 in the vertical direction.
It is fixed at a 5° tilt. When depositing money into such an inlet, the leading edge of the bill is aligned by its own weight, making it possible to perform the deposit operation smoothly. However, when dispensing money, the bill is delivered through a dispensing route different from the depositing route, so the leading edge of the bill collides with the surface of the placement table. In this way, it has not been possible to smoothly take in and send out banknotes. .

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to smoothly take in and send out paper sheets while using a common input port and delivery port for paper sheets. The purpose of this invention is to provide a paper sheet taking in and sending device that is capable of handling paper sheets.

In the second stacking and transporting section 21b, the bills are stacked together with the dispensing banknotes with the transporting tip shifted, and sent to the storage section 15.

■See also Figures 6(a') to 6(e) for details of the deposit processing, deposit exclusion ticket processing, and withdrawal banknote processing of 9 to the banknote processing unit 1 configured as above. In addition, I will explain.

First, the banknote deposit processing will be explained. When the banknote deposit mode is selected, the banknote entry/exit door motor 124 is driven under the drive control of the control unit 90, and the banknote entry/exit door 123 is opened by the action of the banknote door opening/closing mechanism 120.

The control unit 90 also controls the mounting table driving motor 140 . The press plate driving motor 132 is driven to move the mounting table 105. The pressing plate 107 is set to the state shown in FIG. 4(a). After this, the operator inserts the banknotes in a stacked state all at once through the banknote inlet/outlet 4. Then, the banknotes are interposed between the placing table 105 and the pressing plate 107 while remaining in a stacked state. Note that at this time, the banknote is not pressed by the suppression plate 107. Thereafter, the banknote entry/exit door motor 124 is driven to rotate in reverse, and the banknote door opening/closing mechanism 120 causes the banknote entry/exit door 123 to close the banknote entrance/exit 4 . Also, at this time, the plate-like member 127 moves along the plate-like cam 129 in conjunction with the closing movement of the banknote entry/exit door 123, and moves along the curved part of the plate-like cam 129 when the banknote entry/exit door 123 is closed. The bill stopper 126 is rotated by the biasing force of the coil spring 128, and the bill stopper 126 is projected as shown in FIG. 5(a). This banknote stopper 126 is connected to the above-mentioned placing table 105 and the pressing plate 10.
The banknotes are aligned by coming into contact with the end faces of the stacked banknotes interposed between the banknotes and the banknotes 7. After that, the control unit 90 controls the pressing surface driving solenoid 135 to energize the pressing surface 107.
4 (a) via spring-loaded hinges 134, 134.
) or in the direction B shown in FIG. 5(C) to press the stacked banknotes against the take-out roller 104. At this time, since an elastic member 180 with a reduced surface friction coefficient is attached to the banknote contacting surface side of the suppression surface 107a, the pressing force applied to the entire surface of the banknote is made uniform by the elasticity of the elastic member 180. be done. Thereafter, the control unit 90 controls the transport system drive motor 101 to drive the transport system of the banknote processing unit 9. Then, the take-out roller 104 and the feed-out roller 103 disposed ahead thereof receive the rotational driving force of the transport system drive motor 101 via the electromagnetic clutch 102, and are rotated together in synchronization. At this time, since the pressing force of the banknotes frictionally fed out by the take-out roller 104 is equalized by the elastic member 180, the banknotes are not conveyed in a skewed state, and are not conveyed in a skewed state. Paper jams or unreadability in the inspection section 20 that occur can be eliminated. The banknotes taken out by the takeout roller 104 are prevented from being fed two sheets by the feed roller 103 and the first number regulating roller 106, and one banknote at a time is sent to the other side one by one. The banknotes taken in and conveyed in this manner are sorted into the banknote storage units 16', 17, 18 according to the inspection results in the inspection unit 20 according to the flow shown in FIG. 3(b) as described above. Accumulated. Further, the bills that are identified as counterfeit by the inspection section 20 are sorted by the distribution gate 23a to the branch conveyance path 22 and accumulated in the first accumulation conveyance section 21a, as shown in FIG. 3(C). It turns out.

Here, the details of the processing of banknotes identified as counterfeit banknotes are shown in Figure 6 (
This will be explained with reference to a), (b), and (C). The banknotes conveyed through the branch conveyance path 22 are accumulated in the first accumulation conveyance section 21a in the following manner. That is, when the leading edge of a banknote conveyed along the branch conveyance path 222 blocks the first banknote detection sensor 141, the control unit 90 controls the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 to move the banknote over a distance shorter than the length of the banknote. For example, the intermittent conveyance driving motor 109 is rotated by the number of pulses corresponding to 5 mm to 1 Q mm.

In addition, since the first continuous conveyance solenoid 118 is not operated at this time, the branch conveyance path 22 and the second banknote conveyance belt 115 remain wedge-shaped so that the distance between them narrows in the conveyance direction. It is. Then, by rotating the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 by a predetermined amount, the leading edge of the first banknote is moved to the first banknote. Second banknote conveyance belt 114,1
The banknote is stopped in a state where it is clamped by 15. This operation is repeated each time a rejected bill, for example, a counterfeit bill, which occurs sequentially, hits the first bill detection sensor 141.

These banknotes, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. Second bill conveyor belt 114.11
5 and will be conveyed intermittently. Also,
1st. The banknotes held by the second banknote conveyance belts 114 and 115 are stacked as shown in FIG. 6(b'). That is, by intermittently driving the intermittent conveyance driving motor 109 by a predetermined amount, the bills are stacked with their conveying tips shifted. In this way, if counterfeit bills occur while the deposit processing continues, the counterfeit bills can be accumulated and held in the first accumulation and conveyance section 21a.

Furthermore, since the bills can be stacked while being held between the bill conveyance belts, there is no need for a complicated structure that would lead to an increase in the size of devices such as impellers. On the other hand, when a large number of counterfeit bills are generated during the deposit process, when the number of counterfeit bills reaches a predetermined value, the first bill stacked in the first stacking and conveying section 21a is detected by the second bill detection sensor. 142 will be blocked. In this case, the control unit 90 stops driving the entire device.

This is because, as described above, the banknotes sent out from the first accumulating and transporting section 21a are guided to the receiving transport path 22a, which is the depositing route where they are continuously transported, and are again taken and transported along the same route as the deposited banknotes. This is to prevent banknotes from being counted incorrectly. After stopping the drive of the device, the operator is notified of this by, for example, an alarm. At this time, the operator opens the banknote entry/exit door 123 to remove the banknotes on the mounting table 105, and continues processing the banknotes that are on the deposit route. Thereafter, the operator selects the counterfeit bill processing mode and performs the following processing. That is, based on the operation control of the control section 90, the first. Second continuous conveyance solenoid 118.1
19 is energized, and the second bill conveying belt 115 is moved as shown in FIG.
a) The fifth bill conveying belt 16 rotates in the direction shown in the figure.
1 in the direction E shown in Figure 4 (a) and rotate it in the direction shown in Figure 6 (C).
A conveyance system shown in is formed. At this time, the second. Due to the rotation of the fifth banknote transport bell l-115, 161, the first banknote transport bell l-115, 161 is rotated. The second stacking and transporting sections 21a and 21b are placed in a continuous transport mode by a gear meshed with a gear driven by the transport system drive motor 101. When the conveyance system drive motor 101 is driven in this state, the first accumulation conveyance section, 21
The banknotes stacked with the conveyance tip shifted in a are
As it is, the first one. The banknotes are continuously conveyed while being held between the second banknote conveyance belts 114 and 115, and sent out to the take-in conveyance path 22a, and branched by the distribution gate 23f to the output conveyance path 22.
(2), and is further continuously transported by the second accumulation transport section 21b and delivered to the storage section 15 (sixth
(See figure (C)). On the other hand, at this time, in the storage section 15, the mounting table driving motor 140 is driven based on the operation control of the control section 90, and the mounting table 105 is taken out from the roller 104 as shown in FIG. 6(C'). The banknotes are rotated so as to be separated, and the banknotes sent from the second accumulation/conveyance section 21b can be accepted. Further, the control unit 90 drives and controls the pressing plate driving motor 132 to move the suppressing plate 107 as shown in FIG.
a) While moving upward along the direction C in the figure, the pressing surface 107a is rotated back counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring-equipped hinge 134 (see FIG. 6(C)). In this way, the accommodating section 15 can receive banknotes from the second collecting and transporting section 21b. Furthermore, when the bill inlet/exit door 123 is closed, the bill stopper 12
6 protrudes across the mounting table 105. Therefore, the banknotes that are continuously conveyed in a stacked state with the conveyance tip shifted from the second accumulation and conveyance section 21b are placed on the placing table 105 in an aligned state with the end surfaces of the banknotes successively abutting the banknote stopper 126. will be accumulated in. After all the counterfeit bills are accumulated on the mounting table 105, the fourth bill detection sensor 1
Based on the detection of 44, the banknote entry/exit door 123 is opened and the loaded counterfeit banknotes can be taken out. Note that the process for removing counterfeit bills is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment; for example, the counterfeit bills accumulated in the first accumulation and transportation section 21a may be led to the second accumulation and transportation section 21b in the same manner as described above and temporarily held there. In this state, the remaining deposit processing is performed again, and the counterfeit bills generated at this stage are accumulated in the first accumulation and conveyance section 21a. After all deposit processing is completed, the first. Second accumulation conveyance section 21a, 21
It is also possible to continuously convey the counterfeit bills accumulated in b in the same manner as described above and guide them to the storage section 15.

Next, the details of the banknote withdrawal process are shown in FIG. 6(d).

This will be explained with reference to (e) as well. When the withdrawal mode is selected, the control unit 90 controls the placement table 105. The pressing plate 107 is driven and controlled in the same manner as in the counterfeit bill processing mode, so that the banknotes can be accepted from the second stacking and conveying section 21b.

The control unit 90 also controls the first continuous conveyance solenoid 11.
8, the second banknote conveyance belt 115 is rotated in the direction shown in FIG.
Set a to continuous transport mode. When the transport system drive motor 101 is driven in this state, the denominations designated for payment are taken out one by one from each banknote storage section 16, 17, and 18, following the path shown in FIG. 3(d). Continuously transported. Note that, since the first stacking and transporting section 21a is in the continuous transport mode, the banknotes are continuously transported without being stacked. Then, the first banknote determined to be payable is continuously conveyed along the path indicated by the dashed line shown in FIG. 143, the control unit 90 controls the operation of the intermittent conveyance drive motor 109 to rotate it by the number of pulses corresponding to a distance shorter than the length of the banknote. By repeating this operation every time a banknote obstructs the third banknote detection sensor 143, the banknotes are intermittently conveyed while being stacked with their conveyance tips shifted, as shown in FIG. 6(e). Then, the second accumulation conveyance section 21b
The banknotes that are carried out more intermittently are stacked on the mounting table 105 in the accommodating portion 15 in a state in which the end faces of the banknotes are brought into contact with the banknote stopper 126 one after another and aligned. Then, when the last bill to be conveyed among the bills to be dispensed blocks the third bill detection sensor 143, the slip issued in the card/passbook processing unit 10 is sent out from the slip output port 170, and the second bill is sent out. Accumulating conveyance section 21b
is supplied to When this slip obstructs the third bill detection sensor 143, it is intermittently conveyed in the same manner as the bill, and the slip is stacked with its conveying tip offset from the conveying tip of the final bill. Thereafter, the second continuous conveyance solenoid 118 is controlled to be energized to set the second accumulation conveyance section 21b in continuous conveyance mode, and continuously conveys banknotes and slips. As a result, the mounting table 105 in the storage section 15
On the top, bills are placed on the top layer and banknotes are arranged and stacked. After that, the fourth banknote detection sensor 14
Based on the detection of 4, the banknote inlet/outlet door 123 is opened, and the user can take out the banknotes through the banknote inlet/outlet 4.

In this way, it is possible to easily accumulate the bills to be dispensed without requiring a complicated structure such as an impeller, which can greatly contribute to miniaturization of the device. Furthermore, even when stacking a large number of bills, the bills held between the paper sheet conveyance belts are stacked with their conveying tips sequentially shifted, so regardless of the number of bills, the conveyor belt The thickness of the stacked banknotes is the same over the entire area.

Therefore, a large number of banknotes can be easily stacked, and they can be transported at high speed without any special measures. Furthermore, the storage section 15 can be selectively loaded with both incoming banknotes and outgoing banknotes, and the banknote stopper 12
6 can also be used as alignment means for both, further reducing the size of the device.

It is constituted by a theoretical sheet number storage area ME that stores MEs.

Next, the main configurations of the control section 90 and program memory 91, which are means for realizing various functions, will be described in detail, especially in relation to the coin processing unit 200.They are configured to realize the following functions.

[1] When the screen shown in FIG. 9(d) is displayed on the CRT 71 and the customer presses the first deposit instruction section 76B, the coin door 214A is first opened,
After the banknote door 123 is closed, the banknote door 123 is opened to prevent coins and banknotes from being mixed together.

[2] When a coin is inserted into the coin entrance/exit 202, the coin placement member 21 is moved through the second opening/closing drive member 216B.
6A in the direction of the arrow Y1 shown in FIG.
Unacceptable coins are sequentially returned onto the coin placement member 216A via the coin discharge port 212A before the coin acceptance determination is completed.

[3] Every time a coin for return or payment is placed on the coin placement member 216A, the second opening/closing driving member 216B is activated based on the output from the clocking means 90Δ, which constitutes an example of the taking-out determining means. is activated to perform an operation to collect the forgotten coin every time.

(4) By inputting a collection signal from the increase amount detection means 240, the denomination coins stored in the denomination-specific storage section 205 are collected into the storage section 209, and
By inputting a replenishment signal from the depletion amount detection means 241, the coins stored in the storage section 2.9 are refilled into the denomination storage section 205, thereby recycling the coins in the device.

(5) It is determined whether the staff code number input from the numeric keypad 286 by the staff operation matches the staff code number registered in advance, and if it does not match, at least the collection process by the staff is disabled.

Next, the operation of the coin processing unit 200 will be explained.

This unit performs a withdrawal process in which coins are paid to the customer based on user operations, and a deposit process in which coins inserted by the customer are deposited. Note that when the number of coins stored in the denomination-specific storage unit 205 reaches a predetermined amount at the stage when the deposit processing or withdrawal processing is performed, collection processing and replenishment processing are automatically performed. In addition, the above-mentioned loading processing, replenishment processing, collection processing, inspection processing,
Stock amount confirmation processing is performed.

FIG. 13(a) is an explanatory diagram showing the conveyance route of coins in the deposit processing, and the route shown by the solid line is the conveyance route until the coins inserted into the coin entrance/exit 201 are stored in the denomination storage box 235. , the route indicated by the broken line is the electronic coin verification section 231
Receiving the result of the determination is a route for returning coins that cannot be inserted to the input/removal coin introducing section 202. Input and withdrawal coin introduction section 2
02, the second opening/closing drive member 216
The coin placement member 216A is rotated in the direction of arrow Y1 through the arrow B, and the inserted coin is temporarily transferred to the coin holding portion 221A, and then the coin holding member 216A is returned to the horizontal state. After this state is achieved, the coin is sent to the electronic coin verification section 231 via the deposit conveyance path 204. The results of the discrimination in the electronic coin verification section 231 can be stored in storage boxes 2 for each denomination.
It is accommodated in 35. As a result of the determination, coins that cannot be accepted are returned to the input/output coin introducing section 202 via the withdrawal conveyance path 207. In this way, all of the inserted coins are temporarily transferred to the coin holding section 221A, so that unacceptable coins can be returned before all of the inserted coins reach the electronic coin verification section 231, making the coin deposit process more efficient. This makes it possible to do so. The number of coins of each denomination accommodated in the denomination storage box 235 through the deposit processing is stored in the deposited coin number storage area MC based on the detection signal from the electronic coin verification section 231.

FIG. 13(b) is an explanatory diagram showing the conveyance route of coins in the withdrawal process, and the route shown by the solid line is the forgotten coin storage unit 20 for coins left behind in the input/output coin introducing unit 202.
This is the route for recovery to 3.

Coins are withdrawn from the denomination-specific storage box 235 in the designated denomination if the customer specifies the denomination,
If no denomination is specified, the denomination will be calculated from the withdrawal amount (total payment amount) by applying the minimum number method. The withdrawal coins selected in this way are stored in the denomination storage box 2.
35 and fed into the input/output coin introducing section 202 via the withdrawal conveyance path 207. When coins for withdrawal are fed in, the coin door 214A is moved in the direction of arrow Z1, allowing the customer to take out the coins. When the customer's hand is inserted into the input/output coin introducing section 202, the user's hand is detected by the first optical sensor 217A or the second optical sensor 217A.
is detected by the optical sensor 217. The hand of the customer who grabbed the coin is removed from the coin introduction section 202 and the first optical sensor 217A and the second optical sensor 217
When it is no longer detected by B, the clocking means 90Δ is activated. If the customer's hand is not detected again until the time measured by the timer 90A reaches a predetermined time, for example 10 seconds, it is determined that the coin removal has been completed, and the coin 12 is
Close 14A. If the passenger's hand is detected again within 10 seconds, the time measured by the timer 90A is cleared, and the timer 90A clears the time measured by the timer 90A, and then the timer 90A clears the time measured by the timer 90A.
Activate 0A and repeat the same operation. By performing such an operation, it becomes possible to take out the coins in several parts. When the timer means 90A determines that the coin removal has been completed, the coin m214A
is closed, and the coin placement section 216A moves toward the arrow Y1.
The sliding gate portion IJ226A is rotated in the direction of the arrow x1 to recover the forgotten coins. If there is a coin left on the scratched coin several times member 216A, the forgotten coin storage box 227
It will be contained by falling. Since such a forgotten coin collection operation is performed each time without directly detecting the forgotten coin, the forgotten coin remains in the input/removal coin introducing section 202 and is transferred to the next customer. You can definitely prevent the unreasonable situation of putting things away. Note that the number of coins by denomination taken out from the denomination storage box 235 in the withdrawal process is calculated from the designated denomination and the total payment amount if the denomination is specified by the user, and if there is no denomination specified. is calculated based on the total payment amount by applying the minimum number of coins method, and the calculated number of coins for each denomination is stored in the withdrawal number storage area MD for each withdrawal process.

FIG. 13(C) is an explanatory diagram showing the conveyance route of coins in the collection process, and the solid arrow indicates the collection route up to the storage section 2.09. When the number of coins of each denomination stored in the denomination storage box 235 increases to a predetermined amount and a collection signal is output from the increase amount detection means 240, or when the collection switch on the staff operation unit 280 is activated by the operation of the staff. When 283 is operated, the storage area 235A of the denomination specific storage box 235 in which the denomination coin is stored.

The coins of the relevant denominations are taken out from 235B, 235C, 235D, and 235E and sent to the storage section 209 via the recovery conveyance path 208.
will be collected. Depending on the collection process, the denomination-specific storage box 23
The number of coins taken out from 5 by denomination is shown in the withdrawal chute 23.
Each time a collection process is performed, the corresponding replenishment/collection number division storage area (1) BM in the replenishment/recovery number storage area MB is counted by the first counting means 238 provided at the upper end of 6. ..., (n) Stored in BM.

Further, the number of collected coins by denomination is subtracted from the theoretical number storage area ME, and this value is stored.

FIG. 13(d) is an explanatory diagram showing the coin conveyance route in the replenishment process, and the solid arrow indicates the replenishment route from the storage section 209 to the denomination-specific storage box 235. When the number of denomination-specific coins stored in the denomination-specific storage box 235 decreases to a predetermined amount and a replenishment signal is output from the decrease detection means 241, or when the clerk operates the clerk operation unit 2.
When the replenishment switch 282 on the top 80 is operated, the seventh transport belt 252 and the sixth transport sheet number regulation roller 25
3 is driven, and the coins stored in the storage section 209 are transferred from the delivery opening 251B to the third conveyor belts 224-, h.
is released. The ejected coins are sent to the coin verification section 231. as in the case of deposit. The denomination storage box 235 is replenished via the external shape sorting section 234.

The number of coins by denomination replenished in the storage box 235 by denomination through the replenishment process is stored in the replenishment/recovery number storage area MB based on the information related to the number of coins of each denomination detected by the electronic coin verification unit 231. . This memory is stored in the corresponding replenishment/collection number division storage area (1) in the replenishment/collection number storage area MB, BM,
..., (n) Performed on BM. In this way, the coins used for the replenishment process are transported to join the deposit conveyance path 204, and are then counted and replenished by denomination in the same way as in the deposit process, so the number and denomination of the replenishment coins can be reliably guaranteed. ,
The conventional inconvenience of replenishing coins from the coin entrance on the front side or directly replenishing the denomination storage box with a predetermined number of coins sorted by denomination is eliminated. Further, the number of coins for each denomination that has been replenished is added to the theoretical number storage area ME, and this value is stored.

As is clear from the above description of the collection process and the replenishment process, the coin processing unit 200 can collect the coins stored in the denomination storage box 235 into the storage unit 209 when the collection signal is output. In addition, when the replenishment signal is output, the coins stored in the storage section 209 can be replenished into the denomination storage box 235, so that the operating efficiency of the unit can be improved by recycling the coins in the unit 200.

The loading process is carried out by the clerk pressing the loading switch 281 on the clerk operation unit 280, and the coins inserted from the introduction opening 251A by the clerk before the start of business are transferred to the replenishment path shown in FIG. 13(d). This is done by transporting the denominations along the same line and storing them in denomination-specific storage boxes 235. The number of loaded coins of each denomination is determined by the electronic coin verification section 23.
Based on the information related to the number of coins of one denomination detected in step 1, the information is stored for each denomination in the loaded number of coins storage area MA.

Next, the overall operation of the coin processing unit 200 will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 14(a) and 14(b).

First, it is determined whether the machine is being operated by a staff member, and if it is a staff member's operation, it is determined whether the loading process is being performed, and if it is not a loading process, it is determined whether it has been loaded. A determination is made, and if it is not a collection process, it is determined whether it is a replenishment process, if it is not a replenishment process, it is determined whether it is a scrutiny process, and if it is not a scrutiny process, it is determined whether it is an inventory confirmation process. If it is not a balance confirmation process, it will be returned to its original state.

If it is a loading process, it is determined whether the inspection has been completed, that is, the first
It is determined whether all the storage areas shown in Fig. 2 have been cleared, and loading processing is accepted only when the storage areas have been thoroughly examined. The staff code number of the staff member is input through the system. The control unit 90 compares and determines whether the input staff code number matches a pre-registered staff code number, and if they match, executes the designated loading process; will issue a warning. The content of the loading process is as described above, but the number of coins of each denomination loaded in the storage box 235 for each denomination is stored in the loaded number storage area MA, and the number of coins of each denomination loaded in the storage box 235 is stored in the storage area MA. It is also stored in the theoretical number of coins storage area ME that stores the number of coins in stock. At the same time, the staff code number of the staff member is also stored. After that, deposits and withdrawals can be made based on the customer's operations.

When the collection process is selected by the staff member, the staff member first inputs the staff code number of the staff member through the numeric keypad 286 shown in FIG. 11, as described above. Control unit 90
checks to see if the input staff code number matches a pre-registered staff code number, and executes the collection process specified by pressing the collection switch 283 only if they match. The contents of the collection process are as described above, but the number of coins of each denomination collected in the storage unit 209 is stored in the corresponding divided storage area of the replenishment/collection number storage area MB (even if the replenishment/recovery process is the first time). Replenishment/collection number division storage area (1) MB) (1) MB, -
, (n) are stored in the MB as a negative value, and the staff code number of the staff concerned is also stored. At the same time, the number of coins by denomination stored in the replenishment/collection number storage area MB is subtracted from the number of coins by denomination stored in the theoretical number storage area ME.

When the staff member selects the replenishment process, the staff member first inputs the staff code number of the staff member through the numeric keypad 286 shown in FIG. 11 in the same way as described above. Control unit 90
executes the replenishment process specified by pressing the replenishment switch 282 only when the number matches the input staff code number. The contents of the replenishment process are as described above, but first, the number of coins stored in all the divided areas of the replenishment/collection number storage area MB is totaled by denomination, and if the cumulative value is a negative value (the number of coins stored in the replenishment/collection number storage area MB is (meaning that there are coins of the same denomination). The number of coins by denomination replenished in the storage box 235 by denomination is stored in the replenishment/collection number storage area MB.
The corresponding divided storage area (replenishment/recovery number division storage area (2) M if it is the second time for replenishment/collection
B) (1) MB, . . . , (n) MB are stored as positive values, and the number of coins for each denomination is added to the number of coins for each denomination stored in the theoretical number of coins storage area ME.

When the inspection process is selected by the staff member, the staff member first enters the staff code number of the staff member through the numeric keypad 286 shown in FIG. 11, as described above. Control unit 90
checks to see if the input staff code number matches a pre-registered staff code number, and executes the scrutiny process specified by pressing the scrutiny switch 284 only if they match. The details of the scrutiny process are in the 13th section.
Coins are transferred to the storage unit 2 through the same route as explained in Figure (C).
09, and it is determined whether the number of coins by denomination counted by the first counting means 238 at that time matches the number of coins by denomination stored in the theoretical number storage area ME, and it is determined that they match for all denominations. In this case, print out ``Seisa OKJ'', and if there is a mismatch, print out ``Seisa NGJ'' and the mismatched state. After printing out, all the storage areas shown in FIG. 12 are cleared.

The collection process, replenishment process, loading process, and inspection process by the staff mentioned above are executed only when the input staff code numbers match, so you can avoid unnecessary troubles when managing money and the process. This can be avoided, and furthermore, even if the results of the scrutiny process do not match, the staff member can smoothly conduct the investigation.

If the presence confirmation process is selected by the staff, the first
All stored contents of the storage area shown in FIG. 2 are printed out. Note that the printout is not printed on the roll paper 53 in the card passbook processing unit 10, as in the case of the above-mentioned scrutiny process, but is inserted from the back of the unit 10 (on the collection box 60 side) by the staff member. This will be done on the single-ticket slips that have been submitted. In this way, in the stock amount confirmation process, - indicates that all the contents stored in the replenishment/recovery number division storage area (1) M'B, ..., (n) MB shown in FIG. The contents of each collection process are printed out, so you can replenish them.

The history of collection processing can be tracked. As a result, it becomes possible to easily and reliably investigate the cause of discrepancies in inspection that occur when, for example, coins that have been collected are taken to another device.

In the flowchart shown in FIG. 14(a), when it is determined that the operation is not an attendant's operation, that is, it is a customer's operation, the flow shifts to the flow shown in FIG. 14(b).

The transaction selection by the customer is to deposit with banknotes and coins, deposit with banknotes only, deposit or pay with coins only, and the selection is made by the instruction section 76A shown in FIG. 9(d).
, 76B, 76G, and 76D.

If depositing with banknotes and coins is selected, insert bankbook, check bankbook, open coin slot 202, insert coin, open coin slot 202, open banknote slot 4, insert banknote, close banknote slot 4, count banknotes, and coin. Operations such as counting, amount display, amount confirmation, passbook printing, and passbook ejection are sequentially performed and processed. During this process, first the coin door 214
A, and after inserting a coin, the coin door 214A is closed, and then the banknote 1i! Bill door opening/closing mechanism 1 so that 123 is opened
20 and the coin door opening/closing mechanism 214 are controlled, it is possible to reliably prevent coins from being inserted into the bill slot 4 and bills from being inserted into the coin slot 202. In addition, since the coin inlet/outlet 202 serves as a coin inlet and an outlet, the customer does not have to take out coins or sometimes bend down as in the conventional case, and can insert and take out coins in the same posture.

If depositing with banknotes only is selected, the following steps are required: inserting a banknote, checking the bankbook, opening the paper thickness slot 4, inserting banknotes, closing the banknote slot 4, counting banknotes, displaying the amount, confirming the amount, communicating, printing the bankbook, ejecting the bankbook, etc. Operations are performed and processed sequentially.

If depositing only with coins is selected, operations such as inserting a passbook, checking the passbook, opening the coin slot 202, inserting coins, opening the coin slot 202, counting coins, displaying the amount, confirming the amount, communicating, printing the passbook, and discharging the passbook. are performed sequentially and processed.

If payment is selected, card insertion, password input, proof verification, amount input, communication, bill processing unit operation, coin processing unit operation, slip printing/issuance, bill entry/exit opening, bill extraction, bill entry/exit opening, coin entry/exit Operations such as opening, coin extraction, time counting operation-1, opening of the coin entrance/exit, and card ejection are sequentially performed and processed.

Collection processing and replenishment processing are also automatically performed when a customer can select a transaction. These processes are performed when the coin processing unit I-200 and bill processing unit 9 are not accessed for transaction selection by the customer. The recovery process at this time is performed by the increase amount detection means 2.
40, and the number of collected coins of each denomination is stored in the replenishment/recovery number storage area MB in the same way as the collection processing by the clerk, and at the same time, it is stored in the theoretical number storage area ME. A subtraction process is performed for that. Note that since collection at this time is automatic, the staff code number is not stored, but instead a code number indicating automatic collection is stored. Further, the replenishment process at this time is performed when a replenishment signal is output from the decrease amount detection means 241, and the number of replenished coins by denomination is stored in the replenishment/collection number storage area in the same way as in the replenishment process by the staff. At the same time, addition processing is performed on the theoretical sheet number storage area ME. Since the replenishment process at this time is automatic, the attendant code number is not stored, but instead a code number indicating automatic replenishment is stored. Note that the replenishment process is performed on coins of a predetermined denomination, but since the replenishment coins are transported in mixed denominations, coins other than the replenishment denominations pass through the denomination-specific storage box 235 and are stored again. 209, and the replenishment process is completed by replenishing a predetermined number of the replenishment denomination coins.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. The paper sheet placement member 105 when sending out paper sheets does not have to rotate until it becomes parallel to the paper sheet delivery path, and at least the shape between the paper sheet placement member 105 and the paper sheet delivery path is It is only necessary to make the intersection angle smaller than when taking in the paper sheets to prevent the end faces of the paper sheets from colliding with the surface of the paper sheet placement member 105 and causing damage.

[Effects of the Invention J As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the paper sheet placement member is arranged between the delivery conveyance path and the take-in conveyance path in the storage section which also serves as the paper sheet input port and the paper sheet delivery port. By making the inclination angle variable so as to follow the above, it is possible to provide a sheet taking in and sending device that can smoothly take in and send out sheets.
