Initialize the operation of BRM4 shown in Figure 1.

The examination of the initial set, payment, deposit, storage, and automatic banknote replenishment will be explained below.

Initial setting begins with the clerk loading banknotes into the safe 131. The staff member removes the safe 131 using the handle 100 attached to the safe 131. When the safe 131 is removed, the upper lid (not shown) of the safe 131 automatically closes and the lock (not shown) is removed. If you don't use the , the lid will not open. The clerk opens the lid using the key, lowers the push plate 133, and loads bills for payment (the push plate 133 is pushed upward by a spring not shown).

When loading banknotes, the clerk may load a mixture of denominations for reasons to be described later. When loading banknotes, the clerk records the loaded amount, and then uses the handle 100 of the safe 131. Next, the staff member uses the staff panel 8 shown in FIG. 3 to start the initial setting operation.

FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the operation at the time of initial setting of banknotes, and the following description will be made according to the flowchart of FIG. 5.

First, when the clerk instructs the initial setting operation using the clerk operation panel 8 (step 501), the safe 1
31 banknotes are fed out (step 502). Here, the banknotes loaded into the safe 131 by the staff are transferred to the push plate 1.
33 is pushed upward. At this time, the temporary deposit stacker 140 is moved upward or downward because it is not used for loading. Here, the pickup roller 135 is pressed onto the banknote. Pick-up roller 135 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 4 and feeds the bill toward feed roller 134.

The feed roller 134 separates the banknotes fed out by the pickup roller 135 one by one and sends them out to a conveyance path 139.The banknotes sent out to the conveyance path 139 join the conveyance path 169, and operate the switching gate 152. As a result, the bill passes through the bill validator 150 via the conveyance paths 168 and 167 (step 503). Banknote identification! 11
50 determines the denomination of the passing banknotes and classifies them into 10,000 yen notes, 1,000 yen notes, and other banknotes (steps 504 and 505).
).

The classification results are sent to the control unit 10, and the amounts are counted.

On the other hand, the bills that have passed through the bill validator 150 are stored in the thousand yen box 111 if they are 1,000 yen bills and in the 10,000 yen box 121 if they are 10,000 yen bills depending on the classification result (step 50
6,507). Now, if the classification result is a thousand yen bill, the switching gate 120 is operated and the pickup roller 1 on the thousand yen box 111 is guided to the impeller 112 for banknote accumulation.
15 is raised upward at this time. The impeller 112 is.

It rotates counterclockwise, and the 1,000 yen bills introduced therein are stacked one after another on the push plate 113.

Next, the ten thousand yen note is guided to the impeller 122 by switching the switching gate 130. This makes it similar to a 1,000 yen note.

Ten thousand yen notes are also stacked one after another on the push plate 123.

If the classification result is neither a 10,000 yen note nor a 1,000 yen note (steps 504, 505), or an unidentifiable note, the switching gate 154 is operated and the note is stored in the reject box 181 (step 508).

By repeating this operation, banknotes are taken out from the safe 131, 1,000 yen notes are taken out from the 1,000 yen box 111°, 10,000 yen notes are taken out from the 10,000 yen box 1219, and unidentifiable notes are removed from the eject box 18.
It is stored in 1. Eventually, all the banknotes are paid out, and the upper limit switch 137 of the safe 131 detects the upper end of the push plate 133, and when the safe is empty, the operation is stopped (steps 509 and 510).

Through the above operations, the mixed denomination banknotes loaded in the safe 131 are sorted into respective denominations, and the control unit IO counts the sorted amounts.

FIG. 6 shows an operational flowchart when inspecting the initial load. The process will be explained below according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the clerk fills the safe 131 with bills for payment (step 601), and when the safe 131 is set in the BRM 4 (step 602), the control unit 10 performs initial loading (step 603), and this initial loading ends. Then, the control unit 10 displays the result of amount counting on the display of the staff panel 8 (step 60).
4) The amount displayed here will be determined by the staff who deposits the banknotes into the safe 13.
The amount should match the amount you noted down when loading No. 3 (Step 605). If it does not match, there is an unidentifiable note stored in the reject box 181 (Step 606), so it will be rejected. The box 181 is removed, the banknotes stored in the box 181 are removed (step 607), and the displayed amount + the banknote amount in the reject box = the loaded (loaded) amount is carefully examined (step 60B) If the banknotes still do not match (step 609), it is possible that there was a counting error when the banknotes were loaded, so the storage operation described later is performed again and the count is performed again. That is, after collecting the banknotes in each box (step 610), removing the safe 131 (step 611), and checking the banknotes in the safe 131 (step 612), the process returns to step 602.

In this way, by having the staff carefully inspect the banknotes at the time of initial setting, it is possible to prevent discrepancies in the tally due to artificial banknote counting errors, and it is possible to manage banknotes within the apparatus. Further, if the displayed amount and the deposit amount match under the control of the control unit 10 in step 605, a payment transaction or a deposit transaction is performed (steps 613, 614), and after the transaction is completed, the banknotes are collected (step 615). . After that, the control unit 10 prints out the total (step 616).
, remove the safe 131 (step 617), or directly count and examine each banknote (step 618).

FIG. 7 shows an operation flowchart at the time of payment.

The explanation will be given below according to FIG.

Prior to the payment operation, the customer rotates the banknote deposit/withdrawal port 141 to the position 141a.First, the customer presses the operation button 3.
When the user presses the "Payment" button and specifies the payment amount (step 701), the following payment operation starts. First, pay out a 10,000 yen bill from the 10,000 yen box 121 (step 7
01). Pickup roller 12 of million yen box 121
5 is lowered onto the banknote and rotated counterclockwise to feed the banknote towards the feed roller 124. Feed roller 12
4 separates the banknotes one by one and sends them out to the feeding path 129.The ten thousand yen notes sent to the feeding path 129 are transferred to the feeding path 165.
, and is conveyed to the conveyance path 161, where it is passed through the banknote validator 150.
(step 703). The banknote validator 150 determines whether the passing banknote is a 10,000 yen note (step 704). If the banknote is a 2-sheet banknote or an unidentifiable banknote, after passing through the conveyance path 162, the banknote is passed through the switching gates 153, 154. The banknotes are operated, passed through the conveyance paths 163 and 164, and stored in the reject box 181 (step 705).On the other hand, the banknotes that were normally determined to be 10,000 yen bills are stored in the reject box 181 (step 705).

Operate the switching gates 153, 152, 151.

It is guided to the impeller 145 through the conveyance paths 169, 168, 166, and stacked on the temporary payment stacker 146 (step 706). When the specified number of 10,000 yen bills are stacked on the temporary payment stacker 146, the 10,000 yen box 12
The rotation of the pick-up roller 1250 of No. 1 is stopped, and the feeding of banknotes is stopped (step 707).

Next, to pay a 1,000 yen note, the pickup roller 115 of the 1,000 yen box 111 is lowered onto the banknote and rotated counterclockwise to feed the banknote toward the feed roller 114 (step 708). The feed roller 114 separates the banknotes one by one and sends them out to the conveyance path 119.
The 1,000 yen bill sent out joins the conveyance path 165 and passes through the banknote validator 150 from the conveyance path 161 (Step 7
09).

The bill validator 150 determines whether the bill is a thousand yen bill in the same way as a ten thousand yen bill (step 710), and stores it in the two-bill feed or unidentifiable bill ejection box 181 (step 7).
11). Temporary stacker 1 for paying only the specified number of 1,000 yen notes
46, the pickup roller 115 of the 1,000 yen box 111 stops rotating and the feeding of one bill is stopped (steps 712 and 713). When the bills are stacked on the temporary payment stacker 146, the bill stopper 147 that was stopping one bill is stopped. When the banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion slot 141 (step 714).

The banknote insertion slot 141 is rotated clockwise and returned to its original position.Next, the banknote insertion slot shutter 142 is opened and the customer is asked to remove the banknote (step 715).When the sensor 144 detects the banknote withdrawal (step 716) ), the insertion slot shutter 142 is closed and the payment operation is completed.If the zero bill is not removed forever (step 717), the following forgotten collection operation is performed as a removal timeout.

In the forgotten bill collection operation, first, the insertion slot shutter 142 is closed (step 718), and the feed roller 14 of the bill insertion slot is closed.
3 to separate the bills one by one and transfer them to the conveyance path 161.
(step 719).

The banknote sent out to the conveyance path 161 is passed through the banknote validator 150
, the transfer path 162, the switching gates 153, 154 are operated, the transfer path 163, 1.64 is passed, and the reject box 181 is stored (step 720).

This operation continues until there are no more banknotes in the banknote insertion slot 141 (step 721). When the sensor 144 for detecting the presence or absence of banknotes detects that there are no more banknotes, the feed roller 143 is stopped. At this time, the bill validator 150
At the same time as the judgment result is printed out, it is also recorded in the storage device 11 so that it can be printed out at any time.

FIG. 8 shows an operational flowchart at the time of deposit.

The explanation will be given below according to FIG.

When the transaction customer presses the deposit button of the operation button 3, a deposit transaction occurs (step 801), and the insertion slot shutter 142 of the bill insertion slot 141 opens (step 802). When the transaction customer inserts a deposited bill and the insertion is detected by the one-bill presence/absence sensor 144 (step 803), the insertion slot shutter 142 is closed (step 804). Next, feed roller 1
43 and sends out the banknotes one by one to the conveyance path 161 (step 805). The banknote sent to the conveyance path 161 passes through the banknote validator 150 (step 806).
.

This bill validator 150 recognizes 1,000 yen bills and 5,000 yen bills.

The 10,000 yen notes are classified into 9 and unidentifiable notes (step 807).

Banknotes classified as 1,000 yen notes, 5,000 yen notes, and 10,000 yen notes pass through conveyance paths 162, 169, and 170.

The banknotes that have passed through the conveyance path 170 are transferred to the conveyance path 1 by operating the switching gate 155 according to the judgment result of the banknote validator 150.
71 or 172 to align the front and back sides of all the bills (steps 809 and 810), guide them to the impeller 132, and stack them on the temporary deposit stacker 140 (step 811).

On the other hand, for unidentifiable tickets (step 807), switching gate 1
52, the banknotes are guided to the impeller 145 through the conveyance paths 168, 166, and stacked on the temporary payment stacker 146 (step 808).The results of classification and discrimination by the banknote validator 150 are sent to the control unit IO, and the deposited amount is Perform counting.

Bills are sequentially taken in from the bill insertion slot 141 and passed through the sensor 14.
When the absence of banknotes is detected in step 4 (step 812), the operation is temporarily stopped. Here, if unidentifiable bills are stacked on the temporary payment stacker 146 (step 813), the one-bill bill insertion slot 141 is rotated to the position 141a, and then,
Move the bill stopper 147 and insert the bill into the bill insertion slot 141.
a (step 814). If a banknote falls, the banknote insertion slot 141 is rotated to return it to its original position, and the feed roller 143 is rotated again to take in the banknote again.

This is an attempt at re-differentiation, as even if it is unidentifiable once, it is often possible to identify it the second time.
Step 815), As a result of re-identification, 1,000 yen note, 5,000 yen note,
If it is a 10,000 yen bill, it is stacked on the temporary deposit stacker 133 as in the -th time, whereas if it cannot be determined again, it is stacked on the temporary payment stacker 146 (step 808).

The sensor 14 detects that there are no more bills in the bill insertion slot 141.
When detected at 4, feeding is stopped. Here, if there are banknotes in the temporary payment stacker 146 again (step 813)
, -th time, the banknote is transferred to the banknote insertion slot 141 (step 814), and this time, the insertion slot shutter 142 is opened (step 816), and the customer withdraws the banknote.

When the transaction customer takes out the banknotes (step 817), the insertion slot shutter 142 is closed and the control unit 10 displays the total value of the banknotes taken in on the operation guidance display 2 (step 8
18). On the other hand, if the transaction customer does not take out the banknotes, the timer is detected as a timeout for taking out the banknotes (step 820), and the forgetting count operation begins. Unlike the payment operation, the operation of the forgotten number of times ends by stopping the operation of the device after closing the insertion port shutter 142 (step 821).

When all the deposited banknotes are stacked in the temporary deposit stack 140 and the transaction customer pulls out the unidentifiable banknote, the retrieval operation ends and the deposited amount is displayed on the operation guidance display (
step 818). here.

When the transaction customer confirms the amount (step 819), he presses the "Confirm" button among the operation buttons 3. When "Confirm" is pressed, the control unit 1O sends a message to the central processing unit I (not shown). and from the line control section 9.

The message is transmitted to the communication line 12 (step 822).

Central processing unit r! 1 (not shown), the customer file is updated with the transmitted message and the message is returned to the ATM. When the ATM receives this message, the ATM performs an operation of storing banknotes.

Next, the pickup roller 135 is lowered onto the banknotes in the temporary deposit stacker 140 and rotated counterclockwise to feed the banknotes toward the feed roller 134 (step 823
), the feed roller 134 separates the banknotes one by one,
The banknote sent out to the transport path 139 passes through the transport path 169, 168, 167, and the banknote validator 150 (step 824). This bill validator 150 determines whether the bill is damaged, normal, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 10,000 yen, or cannot be distinguished (for example, two bills are taken) (steps 825, 826, 827). . unfit notes,
5,000 yen note 2 unidentifiable note is on conveyance path 162, 163, 164
and is stored in the reject box 181 (step 830). Furthermore, even if the ticket is a 1,000 yen note or a 10,000 yen note (steps 826, 827), if the 1,000 yen box 111 or the 10,000 yen box 121 is full (steps 828, 829),
), and is stored in the reject box 181 (step 830). Normally, the 1,000-yen note is transported along the transport path 162°
63. Pass through 165, operate the switching gate 120,
Guided to the impeller 112, the push plate 1 of the 1,000 yen box 111
13 (step 831). The 10,000 yen note passes through the conveyance path 162, 163° 165, switches the switching gate 130, is guided to the impeller 122, and is stacked on the push plate 123 of the 10,000 yen box 121 (step 832).

This operation is repeated to distribute the banknotes on the temporary deposit stacker 140 to each denomination box.

When the limit switch 137 detects that the banknotes in the temporary deposit stacker 133 are gone (step 833),
The banknote storage operation ends.

On the other hand, when the transaction customer presses the "cancel" button when confirming the deposited amount (step 819), a cancellation/return operation begins.

The cancellation/return operation moves the banknotes stacked on the temporary deposit stacker 140 to the temporary payment stacker 146. First, the hip-up roller 135 is lowered onto the banknote and rotated clockwise to feed the banknote toward the feed roller 134 (step 834). Feed roller 134
separates the banknotes one by one and sends them out to the conveyance path 139.

The sent banknotes pass through conveyance paths 169, 168, 166, are guided by a vane wheel 145, and are transferred to a temporary payment stack 14.
6 (step 835).

FIG. 10 shows an operation flowchart during automatic banknote collection. The automatic bill collection according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

When the banknote box becomes nearly full during operation of the device, an automatic banknote collection operation is started (step tool);
First, when the limit switch 126 detects that the 10,000 yen box 121 is almost full during operation (step 1002), the transaction is not in progress (step 1003).
And when the customer sensor 13 detects that the user is not near the ATM, especially in front of it (step 1)
004).

Enters automatic collection operation. At this time, if a transaction is in progress (step 1003), the automatic collection operation will not begin until the transaction is completed, and even if the transaction is not in progress, the automatic collection operation will not begin as long as the customer sensor 13 detects that a user is present. When the automatic collection operation starts, the temporary deposit stacker 140 is first retracted upward. Next, the pickup roller 125 of the 10,000 yen box 121 is placed on top of the bill and rotated counterclockwise to feed the bill toward the feed roller 124 (step 10).
07), The feed roller 124 separates the banknotes one by one and sends them out to the conveyance path 129. The sent out banknotes pass through the conveyance paths 165 and 161, and pass through the banknote validator 150 (step 1008). Determination of the denomination, etc. is performed (step 1009). Only ten thousand yen bills whose denominations have been correctly determined are guided to the impeller 132 through the conveyance paths 162, 169, 170, 171 by operating the switching gates 153, 152, 155, and onto the push plate 133 of the safe 131. On the other hand, the banknotes that are deemed to be unidentifiable by the banknote validator 150 are stored in the reject box 181 through the conveyance paths 163 and 164 by switching the switching gate 153 (step 1010).
011), repeat this operation and collect a specified number of bills, for example one transaction, from the 10,000 yen box 121 into the safe 131, then stop feeding out the banknotes from the 10,000 yen box 121. If the operation button 3 for selection has been pressed (step 1013
), perform the selected transaction process. Note that the operation button 3 is not pressed and there is no user (step 10).
14) If the remaining amount of banknotes in the 10,000 yen box 121 is greater than the predetermined amount (step 1015
), the banknotes are fed out from the 10,000 yen box 121 again and the collection operation is performed. Note that if a deposit transaction is performed while the 10,000 yen box 121 is full (step 1002), (
Steps 1003 and 1005), only deposited 10,000 yen notes are stored in the reject box 181 (step 100
6).

In the present embodiment, automatic banknote collection was described when the 10000 yen box 121 was almost full, but even when the 1000 yen box 111 is almost full during operation, the single banknote collection operation is performed in the 10000 yen box 121. It is realized in the same way as . However, during the above explanation, the limit switch 126 connected to the million yen box 121. Pick up roller 125. Feed roller 1241 and bill conveyance path 129, respectively.

Limit switch 116. Pick up roller 115.
