Next, the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in detail.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart 17-1 for explaining the counting and bundling operations in the deposit organizing unit 100.

J3, these two operations can be performed in parallel, as described below.

When the device is in a standby state, when one of the denomination switches on the operation section 25 of the deposit processing unit 100 is pressed (step 1002), the corresponding denomination flag in the RAM is set (1004).

After that, when the Clear Star 1 switch on the operation section 25 is pressed (1012), the bank counter in the RAM is cleared (1014), the batch memory is cleared, and the manipulative department 107
After confirming with sensor S5 that there are no banknotes in (
1016), proceed to step 1020. If the clear start switch is not pressed but the restart switch is pressed (1013), the process immediately proceeds to step 1020.

The dispensed banknotes are identified one by one by the identification unit 103 (10
24>. As a result of the identification, if abnormal thickness, skew, chain, counterfeit notes, etc. are detected and need to be eliminated (1026),
This banknote is guided to the reject unit 105 (1028), and as a result of the identification, if it does not need to be rejected and is a designated banknote (1060), it is stored in the batch memory as "+1".
” and then count the banknotes (1062), and place the banknotes in the front and back arrangement unit 104.
, and process based on the judgment result of heads or tails according to step 6 (
1064). In other words, the reversing force passes through the reversing path f (1066), and the reversing +! If there is no passage,
Pass c. If the denomination is any other denomination, it will be sorted to the temporary holding sections 201 to 203 of the storage and dispensing unit 200 (1
068).

Incidentally, all of the liquid may be discharged to the discharge section 106 without being sorted.

Next, the count value stored in the batch memory is 1-100.
It is determined whether or not J has been reached (1042). If not yet, then check whether there are any bills in the feeding section.1044. ), the process returns to step 1024. If not, the feeding is stopped 1046), an E number alarm is generated 1048), and the operation is ended.

When the learning value reaches rioo, + (1042), stop feeding (1050) and clear the batch memory.
1052), and the fij banknotes are transferred to the bundling unit 108 (1054). When this transfer is completed, the banknote bundle is held by a holding plate (not shown) as described later, and the binding operation of the binding unit mechanism starts (1055). On the other hand, in the counting section, if there are still banknotes in the receiving section 101, (1056)
, and returns to step 1020 to restart counting. When there are no more banknotes in the receiving section (1056), the operation ends.

Next, the bundled banknote classification and storage process will be explained with reference to FIG. 4.

When the bundle of banknotes is completed in the bundling section 108 (2002), the bundled banknotes are transferred downward to the lift conveyance section 110, conveyed by the belt conveyance section 111 to the storage and payout unit l-200 side, and then transferred to the bundled banknote delivery port 112. (2004). The sent bundled banknotes are classified and stored in the bundled banknote storage and take-out parts 214 to 216 for each scale (2006). When a sensor (not shown) detects the full state of each storage/takeout section (2008),
The denomination is displayed on the display unit (2010), and the denomination flag storing the denomination to be bundled is reset (2012).

Note that if the bundling is not completed (2002), and the bundling mode is not turned off, it is still bundling, so the process returns to step 2002 and waits for the bundling to be completed, and the bundling mode is turned off. In this case, there is no need for binding, so the process ends.

When changing the denomination, the operator can specify the denomination when taking in banknotes from the receiving section 101, or
It is possible to memorize all denominations to be bundled using flags when taking in banknotes using 04 to 206, and to switch sequentially so that each storage and extraction part 204 to 206 becomes full. .

Next, the process of not dispensing the bundled banknotes stored in this manner will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5.

Press the key for the denomination desired to be dispensed 3002) Input the number of bundled banknotes using the numeric keypad (3004). As a result, the quantity is displayed on the display section (3006). If you cannot approve the operator horn after seeing this display (3008),
Press clear key CE 3010), step 3004
Return to

If you approve the input of several meters, and then input other denominations (3012), return to step 3002, and if there are no other denominations to input, press the completion key (3014). ). When this completion key is pressed, the total payout amount is displayed (3016). If the operator sees this amount and does not approve, press the cancel key (302
0), return to step 3002. On the other hand, if approved, release starts (3022). That is, the input number of bundled banknotes is sequentially released. In other words, the bundled banknote storage and extraction section 21
4 to 216, respectively, bundled banknotes of previously designated denominations of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen are taken out one bundle at a time by takeout members 217 to 219, and are then taken out one by one by belt conveyance section 213 and payout belt 220. The bundled banknotes are paid out to the banknote payout port 221. Each time a bundle of banknotes is released, the quantity of the corresponding denomination in the memory is decreased by one. If an abnormality occurs before the discharge ends (3024), abnormality processing is performed (3026).

Once the discharging is completed normally, the person in charge will take out the bundled banknotes.30
28), when all the bundled banknotes are taken out (3030),
Each memory is cleared (3032) and the process ends. .

Further, the deposit processing is performed as follows with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, clerk n operates the operation section 25 of the deposit sorting units 1 to 100 and enters the deposit amount or denomination J3 and the number of coins using the numeric keypad.
Alternatively, if J is entered on the denomination key and numeric keypad, the deposited amount memory NKM or the deposited amount type number memory 1000ONMM shown in FIG.

This data is stored in 500ONMM and 1000NMM. Next, when the clerk inserts the banknotes into the receiving unit 101, the sensor S1 detects this (4002), and the banknotes are taken into the interior one by one by the receiving roller 102 (4004>
.

The bills taken in one by one are graded by the bill identifying section 103 (4006). If abnormal thickness, skew, chain, or counterfeit notes are identified (4008)
, the lever G1 that switches between the conveyance path C and the conveyance path C is switched, and the materials are sent to the conveyance path C, and are collectively delivered to the 92191 part 105 (
4010). If it is identified as normal, the deposit ml
ltsu memory 010000K, 5000KMM, 1010
“+1” is added to the corresponding denomination of 00K (40
12).

When the banknote identification unit 103 identifies the upper side as the large side (4014), the deformation is reversed when passing through the front and back arrangement unit 10/l (4016). If the bill is identified as an unfit note (4018), the bill cannot be used as a withdrawal bill, so it is stored in the discharge section 106 (4020>.If the bill is a good bill, it is separated by denomination. ,
Temporary storage section 20 for the corresponding denomination in the storage/discharge unit 200
1 to 203 (4022).

Thereafter, the fetching operation continues while the sensor S1 detects the next banknote (4024>).

When all the banknotes have been taken in, the staff member will check the number of bills by denomination and total amount (taken and counted) displayed on the display section 27 of the deposit sorting unit, and manually before processing the deposit. Compare with the withdrawal amount or number of coins by denomination. Then, when these match, operate the authorization key (
4026).

If some bills are sent to the reject section 105 or the discharge section 106 and you want to stop the deposit process because the manually input value and the value displayed on the display section do not match, the return key is operated and the memory is cleared ( 4028.4030>.In this case, the clerk manually pulls out the temporary holding unit and takes out the bill (4032).

Note that the taken-out banknotes may be thrown in again from the taking-in section 101, or additionally thrown in when they are split into pieces.

When the approval key is operated, each temporary holding section 201 to 203
The banknotes held in the banknotes are stored in each storage/removal section 204 to 206 by the operation of a holding piece (not shown).
4034). And total deposit amount memory GKM, deposit counting memory 1010000K, 5000KMM, 101
000K is cleared (4036).

7(a) and (b) are flowcharts of the withdrawal process. When the clerk operates the operation unit 25, the withdrawal amount is stored in the withdrawal amount memory SKM shown in FIG. 8. Then, the CPU
determines the denomination required for withdrawal, sets "1" to the withdrawal general flags MFL to SFL in FIG.
Stored in 03MM to 10008MM.

First, it is determined whether the flags for the denominations required for depositing are set to "1" in the order of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen (
5002, 5004.5006).

For example, if the flag MFL for 10,000 yen is "1", withdrawal of 10,000 yen is started. That is, the banknotes in the storage and takeout section 204 for 10,000 yen are taken out by a takeout mechanism (not shown), and 1
The sheets are sent out one by one to the conveyance path q (5008). The above operation is the same for 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen (5010 yen).
．． 501'2).

In addition, all of the withdrawal denomination flags MFL-8FL are set to “1”.
” is not set, an abnormality is displayed on the display (5014).

The dispensing identification unit 208 detects skew feeding.

(5016), when the discharge gate switching detection unit G2 consisting of a sensor (not shown) detects that the oblique bill has reached the front of the conveyance path S (5018),
6 is operated for a predetermined time (5020) and collects the skewed banknotes into the reject banknote collection box 20A (5026).

Further, the bills taken out one by one by the takeout mechanism are subjected to low grade identification by the payout identification unit 208 (5022). Also, when it is identified that there is an abnormal banknote (5024),
The banknotes are stored in the reject banknote collection box 207 via the l1fl feeding path S (5026).

Also, when it is determined that the banknote is a different denomination, for example, when it is a 1,000 yen bill even though it was taken out from the 10,000 yen storage/removal unit 204 (5028>), the banknote (1,000 yen bill) is It is sent to the temporary holding unit 203 of the corresponding denomination (5030).

When the banknote is a proper banknote (normal banknote), "+1" is added and counted to the takeout number memory TMM in FIG. 8 (5032),
The banknotes are sent to the payout temporary holding section 209. The above operation is based on the value of the withdrawal number memory 10000SM and the value of the withdrawal number memory T.
This is repeated until the values of MM match (5034). When a match is made, the flag for that denomination is MFL.
The rOJ is read 1~, and the number of sheets to be taken out is stored in memory 1~
is also cleared (5036).

Next, it is determined whether the flags for other denominations (5,000 yen, 1,000 yen) are set to "1", and the banknotes of the next denomination are taken out (5038).

When all the removal processes l111 are completed, the staff member displays the display unit 2.
