Reference numeral 19 denotes a banknote reject store installed below the safe 16, and this banknote reject store 19 stores unfit bills and non-recycled bills through its opening 2o.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a bill transfer means for transferring a plurality of bills at once, and this bill transfer means 21 is movable in the front-rear direction and has a hand portion 22 that grips the bills. A rotating means 23 for imparting rotational motion to the hand section 22, a guide support means 24 for moving the hand section 22 in the vertical direction, and a driving screw 25.
It is composed of etc. This banknote transfer means 21 is used for depositing and taking out banknotes from the depositing sections 4, 5, 13 to 15, storing and taking out banknotes from the storage safe 16, and for depositing and taking out banknotes from the storage safe 16.
The driving method of the hand section 22 does not matter, as long as it can transport a plurality of banknotes in a block state, such as storage in the banknote 9.

The detailed structure of the banknote separating section 3 described above will be explained using FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, parts with the same symbols as in FIG. 1 are the same parts. The separation mechanism 3 is a banknote feeding roller 3
1. The delivery roller 32 is disposed opposite to the delivery roller 32, and the bills fed from the first stacking section 4 or the second stacking section 5 are collected by frictional force by the cooperative action of the delivery roller 31 and the delivery roller 32. A separation roller 33 is provided to separate the sheets one by one. The first depositing section 4 is normally kept empty, and one banknote is deposited only when a deposited banknote is carried in by the banknote transfer means 21. to the second depositing section 5 before starting transaction processing.

The banknote storage J is transferred by the hand portion 22 of the banknote transfer means 21.
Banknotes of one denomination in JL16 are taken out and deposited. A guide 131 is provided in the third deposition section 13 . Also the fourth. The fifth stacking section 111.degree. 15 is provided with banknote pushing plates 141, 151 and their springs 142, 152, respectively.

Next, the operation of one embodiment of the above-described apparatus of the present invention will be described.

First, when a deposit transaction request is made, the hand section 22 of the banknote transfer means 21 is located at the deposit/withdrawal port 2 as shown by the dotted line in FIG. At the deposit/withdrawal port, when the customer inserts the deposited banknote into the hand part 22 of the banknote transfer means 21, the hand part 22 of the banknote transfer means 21 receives the deposited banknote inserted by the customer and sets it in the first depositing part 4. Next, the feed roller 31 and the feed roller 32 of the separation mechanism 3 rotate clockwise in the drawing, and feed out the banknotes by the frictional force of a high friction member (for example, rubber) disposed on the circumferential surface of the banknote. The separated banknotes are separated one by one by frictional force.6 The separated banknotes pass through a conveyance path and are judged by a discrimination unit 7 to determine authenticity, denomination, and whether or not they can be reused (can be returned for payment). . Counterfeit bills and banknotes that cannot be separated are switched to the conveyance path 8 by the switching gate 11 and transferred to the third stacking section 13.
and is guided by the guide 131 and deposited there.

On the other hand, the switching gates 11 and 12 determine that the banknotes are genuine, for example, 10,000 yen banknotes that can be recycled are stored in the fourth stacking section 5, 1,000 yen banknotes that cannot be recycled, 5,000 yen banknotes that cannot be recycled, 5,000 yen banknotes, 5,000 yen banknotes, 100 yen bills and banknotes with significant damage are stored in the 5th deposit area]5
are guided and deposited one after another. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the fourth stacking section 14 transports and guides banknotes through a transport path 9 composed of a transport belt, and places the belt between a press plate 141 pressed by a spring 142 and the belt. The banknotes are sequentially fed and stacked by force. The same applies to the fifth deposition section 15.

When the rejected banknotes BR among the previously deposited banknotes are returned to the third depositing section 13 and deposited, the hand section 22 of the banknote transfer means 21 moves to remove the rejected banknotes B.
Five people grab R and carry it to withdrawal port 2, then return it to the customer.
If necessary, the banknotes with defects M (bent edges, etc.) corrected are received again and set in the first stacking section 4 by the above-described operation. Then, the rejected banknotes BR are separated and stacked to a Pt degree as described above.

After the rejected banknote BR has been processed and the customer confirms the amount, if the customer indicates 1, the 4th
The ten thousand yen paper layer B○ deposited in the depositing section 14 is grasped by the hand section 22 of the wc* transfer means 21, and then transferred to the storage safe 16.
It will be transferred to and stored there. In addition, the fifth crushing section 1
At the same time, the non-returnable tickets BE deposited in the bank 5 are transferred by the hand section 22 and stored in the resitech l-'i19.

On the other hand, if the customer does not request a deposit, the money will be returned to the deposit/withdrawal slot.

As described above, all the deposited banknotes set in the first depositing section 4 are stored in the storage safe 16 or transfer bank 1.
9 and the deposit transaction is completed. In this state, since no banknote remains in the first depositing section 4, it becomes possible to immediately respond to the next deposit transaction.

Next, at the time of bill payment operation, the operation is as follows.

At the time when the cash handling V & machine starts operating (the time when transactions can be made), the banknote transfer means 21 as shown in FIG.
is activated to take out an appropriate amount of banknotes, such as 10,000 yen banknotes, from the storage safe 16 and set them in the second depositing section 5 in advance.

Now, if there are no bills in the first depositing section 4 and a payment transaction is made, the second depositing section 5 moves! The banknotes enter the first stacking section 4 by mechanism a, and the banknotes on the second stacking section 5 are delivered to the payout roller 31. It is pressed against the delivery roller 32. Here, when both rollers 31 and 32 rotate clockwise in the drawing, the bill is sent out by the action of the friction roller disposed on its circumferential surface, and the bill is separated into pieces by the frictional force of the separating roller 33 in the same manner as described above. They are separated one by one. Here, the banknotes that have been correctly separated one by one pass through the sorting section 7 and are led to the third stacking section 13 via the conveying path 6 by the switching gate 11, and are deposited in this third stacking section 13. .

Banknotes in an abnormal banknote separation state, such as double feeding, are guided by the switching gate 11 to, for example, the fifth stacking section 15 and are deposited therein.

When the correct number of banknotes is deposited in the third depositing unit 13, the hand unit 22 transfers the banknotes to the deposit/withdrawal port 2 and hands them to the customer, as shown in FIG. The banknotes rejected by the depositing section 15 are stored in the storage safe 16 or the banknote 1li17 by the hand section 22.

Normally, when the separation mechanism 3 has good separation performance, there are no banknotes that are rejected and deposited in the fifth stacking section 15.
The fifth stacking section 14.15 is empty. Even as a result, it is possible to maintain a state in which deposit transactions can be accepted.

In the above embodiment, a frictional separation type using a feeding roller, a delivery roller, etc. as a banknote separation mechanism was explained. It goes without saying that similar effects can be obtained with a separation mechanism as well.

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, one separation mechanism is provided with a first stacking section for one deposited banknote, and above the first stacking section, this first stacking section is provided. By arranging the deposit for payment notes so as to be able to access the banknotes, the device can be kept ready at any time for payment and deposit transactions. As a result, the device can be made smaller and lower in cost compared to the conventional system which has separate complicated and expensive separating mechanisms for separating deposited banknotes and paying banknotes.

Furthermore, since a plurality of banknotes are conveyed all at once, the number of conveyance systems for conveying each banknote is reduced, and from this point of view as well, the apparatus can be made smaller and lower in cost. Furthermore, processing dead time is reduced and transaction time is significantly reduced. As a result, customer waiting time is reduced, serviceability is improved, and the number of transactions per day for the equipment can be increased, making it possible to significantly improve the financial efficiency and operational efficiency of the translation company. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to immediately respond to deposit and payment transaction requests, thereby reducing transaction processing time and improving service to customers.
