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

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating counting and bundling operations in the deposit organizing unit 100.

Note that, as described later, these two operations can be performed in parallel.

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 start switch of the operation unit 25 is pressed (1012), the banknote counting memory in the RAM,
Clear the batch memory (1014), confirm with sensor S5 that there are no banknotes in the manipulative department 107 (1014)
016), 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),
The banknote is guided to the reject section 105 (1028).

As a result of the identification, if there is no need to reject and the denomination is the specified denomination (1060), "+" is stored in the batch memory.
1" and then count the banknotes (1062), and place the banknotes in the front and back arrangement section 10.
4 and processed based on the determination result of heads or tails (1064'). In other words, when it is an inversion type, the inversion path f
1066), and if not inverted, pass through the passageway 1066). In addition, if the denomination is other, it will be taken separately in the temporary holding sections 201 to 203 of the storage and dispensing unit 200 (
1068).

Incidentally, all υ[ may be discharged to the discharge section 106 without being distributed.

Next, the count value stored in the batch memory is I' 100
The court determines whether J has been reached (1042). If the banknote has not been reached yet, it is then determined whether or not there is a banknote in the feeding section (1044), and if so, the process returns to step 1024.

If it is pressed, the feeding will be stopped (1046), a fractional alarm will be generated (1048), and the operation will be terminated.

When the count reaches NOOJ (1042), stop feeding (1050) and clear the batch memory (10).
52), transfer the counted banknotes to the bundling unit 108 (10
54). 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, the intake section 101
If there are still banknotes in G, t (1056), the process returns to step 1020 and counting is restarted. 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 unit 108 (2002), the bundled banknotes are transferred downward by the lift transport unit 110, transported to the storage and payout unit 200 side by the bell l-transport unit 111, and passed through the bundled banknote delivery port 112. and is sent to the Pel 1 to the transport unit 213 (2004). The sent bundled banknotes are sorted and stored in the bundled banknote storage/removal parts 214 to 216 for each denomination (<2006). When a C sensor (not shown) detects the full state of each storage/retrieval section (2008), the denomination is displayed on the display section (2010), and
The denomination flag storing the denomination to be bundled is reset (2012).

Note that if the bundling is not completed (2002>, the bundling mode is not OFF, the bundling is still in progress, so the process returns to step 2002 and the bundling is completed, and if the bundling mode is OFF) Since there is no need for binding, the process ends.

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

Next, the process of dispensing the bundled banknotes stored in this manner will be described with reference to flow ty-1- in FIG.

Press the key for the denomination desired to be dispensed 3002) Input the number of bundled banknotes, 8, using the numeric keypad (3004). As a result, the spread is displayed on the display unit (3006). If the operation input cannot be approved after viewing this display, <3008), press the clear key CE (3010), and return to step 3004.

If you approve the input of the quantity and then enter 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 cannot approve it, press the cancel key (3020).
, 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 214~
At 216, bundled banknotes of previously designated denominations of 10,000 yen, 5000 yen, and 1000 yen, respectively, are taken out one by one by take-out members 217 to 219, and the belt conveyance unit 213 and payout belt 220 bundle banknotes. It is paid out to the payout port 221. Each time a bundle of banknotes is released, the number of the corresponding denomination in the memory is decremented by one. If an abnormality occurs before the discharge ends (<3024), abnormality processing is performed (3026).

Once the discharge is completed normally, the staff member will take out the bundled banknotes30.
28), when all the bundled banknotes are taken out (3030)
, each memory is cleared (3032) and the process ends.

Further, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 6 of the deposit processing machine, the following procedure is carried out.

First, when the clerk operates the operation section 25 of the deposit sorting unit 100 and inputs the deposit amount, denomination, and number of coins using the numeric keypad, or the denomination key and the numeric keypad, the deposit amount memory NKM or the deposit type shown in FIG. Number of sheets memory 1000ONMM.

This data is stored in 500ONMM and 1000NMM. Next, when the clerk inserts 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, the material is sent to the conveyance path C, and is discharged to the reject section 105 (
4010). When it is identified as normal, the deposit counting memory 1010000K, 5000KMM, 10100
r-to1 J is made at the corresponding denomination of OK (4
012).

When the banknote identification unit 103 identifies the top side as the back side (4014), the front and back sides are reversed when passing through the front and back arrangement unit 104 (4016). When the bill is identified as an unfit bill (4018), the bill cannot be used as a bill for withdrawal, so it is stored in the discharge section 106 (4020). Genuine bills are sorted by denomination, and the temporary storage section 201 for the corresponding denomination in the storage/discharge unit 200
~203 (4022).

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

When all banknotes have been taken in, the clerk will check the number of banknotes by denomination and the total amount (
(counted at the time of withdrawal) and the amount withdrawn by person or number of coins by denomination manually entered before processing the deposit. and,
If these match, operate the approval key (40
26).

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 storage unit and takes out the banknotes (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 10000KMM, 5000KMM, 101
00OK is cleared (4036).

FIGS. 7(a) and 7(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. Then, the CPU
determines the denomination required for withdrawal, sets the withdrawal denomination flag MFL-8FL in FIG. 9 to "1", and
Determine the number of coins to be dispensed for each denomination, and store this in the withdrawal number memory 10.
Store in 10000S to 10003MM.

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).
．． 5012).

Further, when the flag "1" is not set in any of the withdrawal money type flags MFL-8FL, an abnormality is displayed on the display section (5014).

The payout identification unit 208 detects skew feeding (5016),
