On the other hand, when the CPU 60 determines in the second step 62 that the inserted bill is a genuine bill, the CPU 60 moves to the next fourth step 64, and in this fourth step 64, the CPU 60 counts the number of genuine bills.

Next, in the fifth step 65, the CPU 60 drives and controls the deposited money temporary storage section 7 to temporarily store only the authentic bills after the discrimination into the peripheral section 7.

Next, in a sixth step 66, the CPU 60 determines whether or not all the inputted money has been paid out, and if it has not been finished, the process returns to the first step 61, while when it is finished, the series of processing for temporarily storing the inputted money is finished. do.

Next, the re-differentiation and sorting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In a first step 71, the CPU 60 drives and controls the temporary deposit storage section 7, and sequentially dispenses the real bills in the storage section 7 one by one.

One genuine bill taken out from the above-mentioned deposited money temporary storage section 7 is conveyed to the discrimination section 4 via the bill conveyance path 57.

Next, in a second step 72, the CPU 60 drives and controls a series of discrimination units 4 to determine whether the bill is a payment pass or a bill, and if the bill is invalid, the process proceeds to the next third step 73.

7. Next, in a third step 73, the CPU 60 drives and controls the unsuitable banknote receptacle 6 to collect unrecyclable unsuitable bills into the circumferential collecting unit 6.

On the other hand, - in the second step 72 described above, if the hole is a through hole, the CP
When U60 makes a determination, the process moves to the next fourth stave 74.

In this fourth step 74, the CPU 60 determines whether or not the denomination of the through hole is a thousand yen bill.
The process then proceeds to step 75 and, in the case of a million-yen hole, to another sixth step 76, respectively.

In the fifth step 75 described above, CP tJ 60 t,i
The first recycled bill storage section 8 is driven and controlled to store two circular holes in the same storage section 8.

Further, in the sixth step 76 described above, the CPU 60 drives and controls the second 10,000 yen bill storage section 9 to store -10,000 yen in the same storage section 9 .

Next, in the eighth step 78, the CF) U 60 determines whether all of the deposited money temporary store bills have been paid out or whether they are green.If not, the process returns to the first step 71, while when it is finished, the next The process moves to step 79.

In this ninth step 79, cpueo switches the second switch 2
Based on the detection output from step 2, it is determined whether or not the first 1,000 yen bill storage section 8 is full of thousand yen bills, and when it is full, the process moves to the next tenth step 80.

At the tenth step 80 described above, the CPU 60 performs a process of collecting surplus 1,000 yen bills based on a subroutine that will be described later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, if it is not full in the ninth step 79 mentioned above, CI'
) When LJ60 makes a decision, proceed to the next 11th step 8.
Move to 1.

In this eleventh step 81, the CPU 60 determines whether or not the 10,000 yen hole in the second recycled bill store section 9 is full based on the detection output from the fourth switch 24, and when it is full, the next The process moves to the twelfth step 82.

At this twelfth step 82, the CPLJ 60 performs a process of collecting surplus ten thousand yen bills based on a subroutine that will be described later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, if it is not full at the 11th step 81 mentioned above, the CP
When U60 makes a determination, the series of processing for re-differentiation and sorting is completed.

Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8, the surplus bill collection process corresponding to each step 80 and 82 described above will be described. Note that collection of thousand yen bills and collection of 10,000 yen bills can be performed in the same manner as 1111 using the same footplate 11 shown in the figure.

In a first step 91, the C11U 60 drives and controls the I-Nicle bill storage unit 8 or 9 on the side where the surplus bills are generated, and sequentially dispenses the surplus bills one by one.

One surplus bill is conveyed to the discrimination section 4 through the bill conveyance path 57.

Next, in a second step 92, the CPtJ60S activates the above-mentioned discrimination section 4! IJa and IJ are controlled to determine whether surplus bills can be normally dispensed, and when it is determined that there is an abnormal dispensing C due to overlapping bills, etc., the process moves to the next third step 93, while when normal dispensing, a different procedure is performed. The process moves to the fourth step 94.

In the third step 93 described above, the CP LJ 60 drives and controls the unsuitable bill collecting section 6 to collect the unsuitable bills due to the above-mentioned abnormal payout into the collecting section 6.

On the other hand, in the fourth step 94 described above, the CPU 60 controls the bundling unit 10 to drive 1111.

Next, in a fifth step 95, the CPU 60
The number of surplus holes stacked sequentially on 0 is 100, which is the management unit.
It is determined whether the number of sheets has reached 100, and if the number is less than 100, the process returns to the first step 91, while if the number has reached 100, the process moves to the next sixth step 96.

In this sixth step 96, the CPLI 60 gives a banding command to the above-mentioned banding unit 10, and bands a are applied to the 100 extra holes.

In this way, the band sealing hole A where the C band a is applied is a 1,000 yen bill, -
The 10,000 yen bill is transported according to its denomination, and then transferred to the next 7th step 9.
At step 7, the CPtJ60 controls the first or second band-sealing hole storage section 11, 12 corresponding to the above-mentioned denomination to drive the above-mentioned band-sealed tag into the magazine 25 (see Fig. 2). Store sequentially.

Next, in an eighth step 98, the CPU 60 switches the second switch 2
2. Determine whether or not there is a full detection output from the fourth switch 24, and when the switch is full, return to the first step 91 described above, while when the CPtJ 60 determines that there are no surplus bills when the switch is less than full, it returns to the process of collecting surplus bills. Finish the series of processing.

Next, 70-chi-! in Figure 9! - Refer to page 1 for withdrawal processing
Let's talk about.

In response to a customer's withdrawal operation, that is, a transaction, in a first step 101, the CPU 60 drives and controls at least one of the first and second recycled bill storage units 8.9 to transport recycled bills. The recycled bill J0 fed out to the lever path 57 is conveyed to the discrimination section 4 side via the above-mentioned bill conveyance path 57.

Next, in the second step 102, the CPU 60 controls the above-mentioned discrimination unit 4 to determine whether or not the 11-cycle bill for withdrawal has a withdrawal hole, and determines whether the bill is an unsuitable bill. If there is, the process moves to the next third step 103, and if it is a through hole, the process moves to another fourth step 104.

In the third step 103 described above, the CPLJ 60 drives the unsuitable hole receiving section 6, .
-(- The identified dispensing unsuitable hole is collected by the collection unit 6.

On the other hand, [in the fourth step 104 described above, CI) U 6
0 drives and controls the return U1 opening section 5 to withdraw money from the dispensing hole discriminated by the above-mentioned discriminating section 4 to a predetermined dispensing port of the return opening section 5.

Next, in the fifth stack 105, the CPU 60 determines whether or not the dispensing of a predetermined number of coins corresponding to the transaction has been completed.
When the feeding is not completed, the process returns to the first step 101 described above, while when the feeding is completed, the process moves to the next sixth step 106.

In this sixth step 106, the CPtJ60 determines whether there is a near-empty signal (No. 11, that is, a low remaining signal) output from the first switch 21, and the number of thousand yen bills held in the first recycled bill store section 8 is low. When the next 7th Sten 71
Move to 07.

In the seventh step 107 described above, C)) U 60 is the first
Referring to Figure 0, replenishment of thousand yen bills is carried out based on a subroutine to be described later.

On the other hand, in the sixth step 106 of (previous) E, if there is no remaining amount, C
When the PU 60 makes a determination, the process moves to the next eighth step 108.

At this eighth step 108, the CPtJ60 determines whether there is a near-empty signal 1 from the third switch 23, that is, whether the remaining output is low or not, and the second cloudy banknote storage section 9
When the remaining capacity of the 10,000 yen hole becomes insufficient, the process moves to the next ninth step 109.

At the ninth step 109 described above, the cr-' U 60 performs a replenishment process for the 10,000 yen hole based on a subroutine that will be described later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, in the eighth step 108 described above, if the balance is not low, the CP
When the LJ 60 makes a determination, it terminates the withdrawal processing of -.

Next, the replenishment process corresponding to each of the aforementioned steps 107 and 109 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. The replenishment of thousand yen bills and the replenishment of ten thousand yen holes can be performed in the same manner using the same flowchart 1 shown in FIG. 111.

In the first step 111, the CPU 60 selects the first or second band 1 that corresponds to the denomination for which the amount of banknotes held is low.

The banknote bundle from which band a has been cut is stored in the previous month's bill storage section 32 (see FIG. 2) by driving the opposing belts 28.36.

Next, in a third step 113, the CPLI 60 moves the suppression plate 44 in the pressing direction by 1'lT u via the third solenoid 49.
Along with the J control, the feeding loaf 50 is rotationally controlled in the feeding direction to sequentially take out the old bills in the storage section 32 mentioned above one by one.

The single issued banknote is sequentially transferred to the corresponding recycled banknote store section 8 or 9 via the banknote transport path 57,
It is stored in the same store section 8.9.

Next, in the fourth step 114, the CPU 60 determines whether or not there is a full detection signal from the second switch 22 and the fourth switch 24, and if it is less than full, the process returns to the first step 111 described above, while if it is full, it performs a series of replenishment processes. end.

In summary, when surplus bills occur in the first and second cycle bill slots 8 and 9, the output from the switches 22 and 24 sends the P U 60 to the bill conveyance path 57 and the bundling: 1
- Drive and control the unit 10 to manage surplus bills in the IR (1'/fU). For example, bind a medium number of 100 bills, and store the unbound bills △ in the first and second bill storage sections 11°. Store on 12th.
