Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an automatic transaction device such as a deposit/withdrawal device that is installed, for example, in a mechanized corner of a bank and automatically deposits and withdraws banknotes. (Prior art) In recent years, automated teller
An sMachine (ATM) is installed in a bank's mechanized corner and allows customers to automatically withdraw banknotes (withdrawals) or deposit (deposit) money using transaction media such as cards or passbooks. It is possible to do this, and it operates for extended hours even after bank counters close, and it is also used for unmanned operation by installing it inside department stores, supermarkets, etc., and it is predicted that the number of installed machines will increase in the future. be done. Against this background, improving the efficiency of operating funds for deposit and withdrawal devices, along with streamlining personnel efficiency, has become an important issue for financial institutions such as banks. In order to improve the efficiency of operating funds, which is one of the issues, automatic banknote circulation type deposit and withdrawal devices have been developed and put into practical use, in which banknotes that have been deposited are used as banknotes to be withdrawn. Typically, automatic transaction devices such as those described above use a portable safe cassette that is removable from the main body of the device and is used as a safe cassette to store banknotes used for cash withdrawals. A port is used to allow easy loading and unloading into and out of the equipment. Conventionally, in automatic transaction devices, the safe cassette only has a storage function, and the stacking means for stacking the bills conveyed one by one and the ejecting means for taking out the bills one by one are provided on the main body side where the safe cassette is set. The structure is as follows. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such conventional devices, since the accumulating means and the take-out means are provided on the main body side, the positional relationship between the main body and the safe cassette must be kept strictly constant. However, there was a serious problem in that stable takeout performance and integration performance could not be maintained. The present invention has been developed based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to maintain stable takeout performance and stacking performance even if the positional relationship between the main body and the safe cassette is not strictly constant, and to provide a safe cassette An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic transaction device that can prevent unauthorized withdrawal of banknotes from a bank. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a bill receiving section that receives deposit bills inserted by a customer, and a conveyance path that sequentially takes in and conveys the bills from the bill receiving section. a stacking means for stacking banknotes taken in and conveyed by the conveyance path; a storage section for storing the banknotes stacked by the stacking means; and a depositing banknote stored in the storage section for using as a dispensing banknote. The automatic transaction device is equipped with a retrieval means for taking out the transaction from the storage section, and the accumulation means, the storage section, and the retrieval means are assembled in a safe cassette that is removable from the main body of the device. In addition, the ejecting means is constituted by an ejecting roller that can rotate only when the safe cassette is attached to the main body of the device. (Function) That is, since the present invention incorporates the accumulating means and the ejecting means into the safe cassette, the positional relationship between the main body and the safe cassette cannot be strictly controlled unlike the conventional case where the accumulating means and the ejecting means are provided on the main body side. Stable takeout performance and stacking performance can be maintained even if the current is not kept constant. In addition, since the ejection means is composed of a take-out roller that can rotate only when the safe cassette is attached to the main body of the device, it is possible to reliably prevent unauthorized removal of banknotes from the safe cassette due to reverse rotation of the take-out roller.

Parts of the outer peripheries of the collecting roller 302 and the take-out roller 304 are exposed from the safe cover 344 so that their upper portions form a conveyance path. Note that guide rollers 342 . . . are disposed on the upper surface and are in rolling contact with rollers 345 . Next, the operation will be described. First, during standby, as shown in FIG. 13(a), the flappers 315, 315 are held in a closed state protruding into the storage section 20, and the banknotes A accumulated on the lower side of these flappers 315° 315 are held. is placed, and this banknote A is elastically pressed by the banknotes A, CUA, and f310 from below. Thus, when stacking banknotes A, the banknotes A are sequentially taken into the storage section 20 by the stacking roller 302 and the tapping wheel 303, and are temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage section 310a in the space above the flappers 315 and 315. [Figure 13 (b
)]. When the taking in of banknotes A is completed, the push plate 309 is lowered, and the banknotes A in the temporary storage section 301a are moved to the flapper 315.
, 315 and move to the specified storage position [FIG. 13(C)]. After this, the solenoid is turned on.
The flap A315°315 is closed [Fig. 13 (
d)) Also, the push plate 309 rises and returns to the timing position υ, and the bills A are retained by the flappers 315, 315 and held in a stacked state below them [Fig. 13(e)]. . Note that the push-in plate 309 is configured to be nested in the flappers 315, 315. It can be moved up and down regardless of the arrangement of A315, 315. In this way, the accumulation and storage of banknotes A in the storage section 20 is completed, but as shown in FIG.
The residual detection sensor 316VC performs 9 checks for remaining banknotes for 01a, and if residual is detected, and if the tab residual detection sensor 316 is dark, the above-mentioned accumulation and storage process is repeated again. On the other hand, when taking out a banknote A, the push plate 309 is lowered from the standby state shown in FIG.
09 is correct [Figure 14(b)]. After this, push plate 30
9 rises together with the banknote A pressed upward by the backup 310 and returns to the standby position, and the banknote A contacts the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [FIG. 14(C)]. In this state, the rubber surface 30 of the take-out roller 304 is
4a, and when a predetermined number of bills have been taken out, the taking-in timing detection switch 323
In response to the signal, the take-out roller 304 is stopped in a state where the rubber surface 304a is brought out onto the transport path surface of the banknote A and maintains a position where it does not come into contact with the banknote A remaining in the storage section 301.
Figure 4(d) E 0 By the way, since the bill A is taken out only when the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 comes into contact with the bill A,
The leading edge of the other banknotes, except for the banknote A that is being taken out, should have stopped at a position flush with the removal side floor 301A of the storage section 301. Since the pick-up is carried out by the pick-up roller 306, the leading edge of the bill A is usually guided to the pick-up roller 306 position, or the timing of take-out is shifted for some reason, and the leading edge of the bill A is guided to the pick-up roller 307 position. Sometimes it even reaches. However, when banknotes A are stored together, the method shown in FIG. 13 (
As shown in C), the banknote A in the storage section 20 is
? 315, 315, and flat 14325.
．． If the temporary storage section 301a as a stacking section is not formed above the banknote 315, the banknote A (hereinafter referred to as the exit banknote A') whose leading edge protrudes from the withdrawal side floor 301A as described above will not be removed. If there is, the leading edge of the Choro Depth A" may break when it is pressed by the push-in plate 309, making it impossible to take it out when it is taken out. 301.Therefore, when the bills A are taken out one by one and a predetermined number of bills have been taken out, if the leading edge of the bills A protrudes to the pickup roller 307, The banknote A is detected by the removal detection sensor 317, and after this detection, the banknote AI is taken out as a reject ticket and stored in the reject storage. When issuing a ticket A"), that is, when the takeout detection sensor 317 is bright, the push plate 309t is first lowered and the ticket is taken out. Pull back the exit ticket AI from the walk roller 306 [Fig.
# and banknotes A accumulated on the backup 310
is pressed by the pushing plate 309 and moved downward together with the backup 310. Then, when the electromagnetic brake 31 moves to a certain position,
1, and in this state, only the push plate 309 is raised and returned to the standby position [FIG. 15(b)]. Backup 310 accordingly
The suppression of the banknote A on top of the banknote A is released, and after this, the bank-up 310 is raised by turning off the electromagnetic brake 31 in this state [FIG. 15(C)]. At this time, since the pressure on the banknote A on the backup 310 is released, the topmost banknote y is moved freely by this friction on the take-out floor 301A and aligned. Here, the push plate 309 is lowered again to push the banknote A downward, and the residual detection sensor 316 detects the residual banknote A in the upper space.If the residual detection sensor 316 is dark, Since the alignment of the exit A1 is insufficient, the electromagnetic brake 311ftr is turned on to fix the backup at 7°3, the push plate 309 is returned to the standby position, and then the electromagnetic brake 31 is turned off. The above-described alignment operation of raising the backup 310 is repeated again, and if the residual detection sensor 316 is bright,
H. Since the alignment of the external AI has been completed, the push plate 30
After the banknote A is pushed downward by the flapper 9, the flaps /4315, 315t- are closed via the solenoid, and the banknote A is held below the flappers 315, 315 [FIG. 15(d)]. On the other hand, when taking out the banknote A, the banknote A in the storage section 20
When all are taken out, as shown in Figure 12 (,),
The extraction detection sensor 317 becomes bright for a certain period of time, and in response, all the detection sensors 320 become "on", and
The pack roller f310 is pressed by the pushing plate 309 and lowers together with the pushing plate 309 [FIG. 12(b)]. When the packa and f310 pass through the area where the flappers 315 and 315 are arranged, these flappers 4315 and 315
is closed by turning on the solenoid, and these flappers 3
15. The backup 310 is locked at 315, and the push plate 309 is raised again to return to the standby position [FIG. 12(C)]. At this time, the emitted light from all the detection sensors 320 is transmitted through the transmission hole 309h.
, 309b, but this emitted light passes through the push plate 3
09 and backup 310, the emitted light is relatively directed from one end side of the transmission hole 309 & +310 device to the other end side according to the movement of the push plate 309 and backup 310. This makes it possible to detect the entire wide area S on the top surface of the backup 310, so that even if there is a banknote A such as a folded ticket or a piece of string left on the backup 310, it can be detected without missing it. Can be accurately detected. FIG. 19 is for explaining the electric circuit. That is, the main control section 150 controls the entire system, and the storage section 152 is configured of, for example, a ROM (read-only memory) and stores control programs and the like. The deposit/withdrawal mechanism control section 151 is the main control section 150
The deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 is controlled in accordance with signals from the inspection control section 155 and from the inspection control section 155. The inspection control section 155 controls the inspection sections 3 and 6. The operation panel section/internal monitor device control section 153 controls the operation panel section 3 and the internal monitor device 13. The card/slip processing control device 154 controls the card/slip processing unit 11. The passbook reading/printing control unit 156 reads the magnetic stripe of the passbook inserted through the passbook insertion slot 4 and controls the passbook reading/printing device 157 that records transaction details in the passbook and journal. The main control section 150 controls each storage section 2 according to signals from each detector in the deposit/withdrawal device 12 and a signal from the inspection section 36.
It counts the number of sheets stored in 0, 21, 22, and 23, the number of sheets stored in denominations, the number of sheets loaded, the number of sheets examined, etc. Furthermore, the main control section 150 controls a remote monitor device R176'fr provided at a location remote from the deposit/withdrawal device by means of a remote monitor input/output control section 159. Further, the main control section 150 has a button so that a communication control section 158 performs data transmission with a central processing unit (not shown). As shown in FIG. 20, the internal monitor device 13 includes an operation progress status code display section 161, a reset button 162,
Loading is tongue 1601, replenishment detonation 163, number display section 164 that displays the number of transaction denominations or the number of loaded or inspected 10,000 yen banknotes, 1000 yen banknotes, storage is tongue 166, linear butane 168, verification Butane 169,

, a display section 177 that displays the number of loaded or inspected 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes, and a button 176 for displaying the number of banknotes. Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, first, a customer (customer) inserts a card into the card insertion slot 5 after seeing the operation guide "Please insert your card or bankbook" displayed on the CRT display section 10. Then, the data on the magnetic stripe of the card is read by a reading section (not shown) and supplied to the main control section ISO. Thereby, the main control unit 150 checks the validity of the card. If the card is valid, the main control section 150 causes the CR7 display section 10 to display an operation guide saying "Please enter your password." Then, when the first customer inserts the password into the operation button 8, the main control section 150 checks whether the password read from the card and the password input using the operation button 8 match or are related. If there is a match, or if the relationship satisfies a predefined rule, the main control unit 15
0 is "Please select transaction type" on CR7 display section 10.
along with instructions to select buttons for "deposit, withdrawal, transfer, balance inquiry". When a transaction item is selected and the operation button 8 corresponding to deposit is pressed, the main control section 150 enters a deposit acceptance state and outputs a deposit instruction to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Thereby, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 opens the door body 415 of the deposit/withdrawal lower. Next, when the customer inserts a bundle of banknotes into the banknote storage chamber 454 in a standing position, with mixed denominations and backs, and then closes the door body 415, the shutter closure detector 419 detects that the door body 415 is closed. do. Next, the floor drive motor 411 rotates at high speed, and the floor 407 vibrates up and down accordingly, and the Q banknotes A are aligned by this vibration. At this time, when the detector 457 detects a stacking failure of banknotes A, the main control unit 150 opens the door body 415 and prompts on the CR7 display unit 10, ``Please insert the banknotes correctly and close the door.'' When the door body 415 is closed, the alignment operation is performed again, and after the main control unit 150 determines that the banknote A has been correctly deposited into the banknote storage chamber 454 based on the detection by the detectors 457 and 451, the banknote A is transferred to the take-in roller. 4
03f, one sheet at a time is taken in starting from the frontmost one. This taken-in banknote A is conveyed via the taking-in conveyance path R2t'. At this time, the bill A is detected to be taken in by the bill passage detector I0a, and the main control section 150 counts the number of bills taken in based on the detection signal. In addition, when the banknote A passes through the inspection section 36, 1 "short side length", "long side length"
, [Magnetic pattern matching], "Color separation of transmitted light",
By detecting things such as ``division matching of minute parts by reflected light'', pl ``bill type discrimination'', ``authenticity discrimination'', ``front/back discrimination'', and ``new/old note discrimination'' are performed, and the results are is supplied to the main control section 150. Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). In addition, if the main control unit 150 cannot recognize the banknote A1 as a "false" banknote due to overlapping, extremely skewed, or damaged banknotes during the authenticity determination,
A rejection signal is output to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. As a result, when the leading edge of the banknote A reaches the banknote passage detector 40f, the gate 39d for the third distribution (r'-to' 39c) is rotated to the left, and the gate 39d is rotated to the left for the fourth distribution. . Then, the banknote A is temporarily accumulated in the temporary withdrawal accumulation section 37 button. On the other hand, it is determined as "true" in the authenticity discrimination, and "true" in the front/back discrimination.
In the case of a bill that is determined to be "back", the main control unit 150 outputs a signal to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. This is K, pl, that banknote A should be sorted out) 39 c r

In addition, banknotes A that are determined to be "true" in the above-mentioned authenticity determination and as "1-face" in the front/back determination are sorted by the dart 39c, and are accumulated in the deposit temporary accumulation section 38 via the right conveyance path. be done. Also, when the inspection result is an old note, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 uses a plunger solenoid, ? 's e'cr on' and the first

moves and expands the accumulation area. Once turned "on", the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 maintains the "on" state until the receiving process is completed. On the other hand, when the detector 451 detects that there is no bill in the bill storage chamber 454, the rotation of the take-in roller 403 is stopped and the take-in process is ended. Next, when the rejected banknotes A are accumulated in the temporary collection unit 37, the arm 92 moves downward, the rejected banknotes A are sandwiched between the conveyor belts 82 and 62, and the banknotes are collected all at once. It is transported to the storage chamber 454 (see FIG. 9). The rejected banknotes A thus returned to the banknote storage chamber 454 and stacked are taken in and conveyed again, and a deposit process is performed. In this way, after all the inserted banknotes A are accumulated, they are counted and verified. In other words, among the genuine bills judged by the inspection section 36, the number of 10,000 yen bills, the number of egg yen bills, and the number of 1,000 yen bills, and the passage detector 401.40b on the conveyance path to the deposit temporary accumulation section 38. The respective counted numbers are verified by the main control unit 150, and counting is guaranteed by double checking. After the counts are verified in this way, the main control unit 15
0 displays the number of ticket types and the total deposited amount on the CRT display section 10 of the operation panel section 3, prompting the customer to confirm the deposited amount and the number of ticket types. Customer confirmed? When the button is pressed, the banknotes A in the deposit temporary accumulation unit 38 are transferred to the accumulation unit 4 of the banknote loading/unloading device 15 when the acceptance is determined to be “acceptable” after online communication.
54. That is, the timing belt 205 of the deposit temporary accumulation section 38 is lowered, and the pedestal 220 is further retracted below the conveyor belt 214. For this reason, the pedestal 220
The banknotes A accumulated on the timing belt 205
and conveyor P/I, -) 214 and conveyed from the accumulation section 230 [see FIG. 11(c)]. Next, in the banknote loading/unloading device 15, the backup 402 and the z+ flannel 401 are the loading roller 40.

transported via. At this time, the bill A is detected to be taken in by the bill passage detector 40m, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of bills taken in based on the detection signal. In addition, when the banknote A passes through the inspection section 36, the "short side length"
By detecting things such as ``longitudinal length'', ``magnetic pattern matching'', ``color separation of transmitted light'', and ``division matching of fine parts using reflected light'', ``bill type discrimination'',
“Authenticity determination” and “fit/failure determination” are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control unit 150. As a result, the main control unit 15
0 counts the inspection results with a counter (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 150 determines whether the banknote A is “false” in the authenticity determination.
If the banknote cannot be recognized as a correct banknote because it is stacked, is significantly skewed, or damaged, a rejection signal is output to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. As a result, the banknote A
When the tip of the dart 39g reaches the bill passage detector 40j, the dart 39g is rotated to the left in the seventh distribution. Then, the banknotes A are accumulated in the egg yen/rejection ticket/collected banknote storage section 22. On the other hand, if the egg yen bill is determined to be "true" in the authenticity determination, the main control unit 150 outputs the signal to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 . As a result, the banknotes A are sorted by the dart 39g and accumulated in the temporary storage section 301a by the third accumulation/retrieval device 26. At this time, each storage section 20, 2
At 1.22, the flan A 315 is held in a closed state protruding into the storage section 20, and a space is formed above the flan A 315, and the banknotes A are accumulated by the accumulating roller 302 and the rattling wheel 303. On the other hand, in the case of 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes, the operation is similar, and the first. They are accumulated in second temporary storage sections 33 and 34. At the time of the above accumulation, the passage detector 40k. Based on the detection signals of 40m and 40o, the main control unit 150 counts the number of accumulated bills of egg yen, 1,000 yen, and -10,000 yen using a counter (not shown). On the other hand, when the detector 451 detects that there is no bill in the bill storage chamber 454, the rotation of the take-in roller 404 is stopped and the take-in process is ended. When the loading is completed, the pushing plate 309 is lowered and the banknotes in the temporary storage section 301a are released by the flapper 315.
It is pushed down together with the button and moves to the specified storage position [No. 13
See figure (C)]. After this, the Furano motherboard 315 is closed by turning the solenoid "on" [see Fig. 13(d)].
Further, the pushing plate 309 rises and returns to the standby position, whereby the banknotes A are locked to the flapper 315 and held in a stacked state below the flapper 315 (see FIG. 13(,)). Next, when selecting a transaction type, when the operation button 8 corresponding to withdrawal is pressed, the main control unit 150 displays the message ``Please press the amount button and finally press yen detan.'' ” are displayed on the CRT i receiving section 10. The customer then inserts the amount υ using the operation button 8 according to the instructions. By inputting this amount, the main control unit 150 causes the CRT display unit 10 to display a guide message saying, ``If the amount is correct, press the confirmation button, or if you want to change the exchange button, press the correction button.'' This is due to pressing down on the tongue.
The main control section 150 causes the CRT display section 10 to display the guide character-ii "Communication in progress. Please wait for a while." At this time, the main control unit 150 performs online communication and outputs a withdrawal command to the deposit/withdrawal device 12. Accordingly, the deposit/withdrawal device 12 takes out banknotes A corresponding to the above-mentioned amount from the banknote storage sections 21 and 22 and stacks them in the temporary withdrawal accumulation section 37. That is, from the standby state shown in FIG. 14(&), the push plate 309 is lowered and the flange
5 is opened, and the pushing plate 309 hits the upper surface of the banknote (FIG. 14(b)). After this, the pushing plate 309 rises together with the banknote A pressed upward by the backup 310 and returns to the standby position, and the banknote A comes into contact with the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [Fig. )
]. In this state, the bills A are sequentially taken out via the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 by the operation of the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305, and when a predetermined number of bills have been taken out, the rubber surface 304a The take-out roller 304 stops at a position where the banknotes A are exposed and do not come into contact with the banknotes A remaining in the storage section 301 [FIG. 14(d)]. The banknotes A taken out in this manner are sorted to gate 39h. 39b, 39c, 39d, 39e, 391.3
9g. 39b and 39i and are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 37. At this time, the bill A taken out from the 10,000 yen bill storage section 22 is detected by the bill passage detector 40n, and
Based on the detection signal, the main control section 150 counts the number of sheets taken out. Also, a banknote A was taken out from the 1,000 yen banknote storage unit 2.
The bill passing detector 401 detects the removal of bills, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of bills taken out based on the detection signal. Further, when the taken out banknote A passes through the inspection section 36, "bill type discrimination" etc. is performed, and the result is sent to the main control section 1.
50. Thereby, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). Furthermore, the banknotes A to be accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 37 are detected by a banknote passage detector 40.
Accumulation detection is performed by g, and the main control section 150 counts the number of accumulated sheets based on the detection signal. When the number of bills taken out by the passage detectors 40n and 401 reaches the set number, the main control section 150 ends the taking out of bills from the corresponding bill storage section 22.21. In addition, the main control department 150 checks the number of 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes according to the inspection result, depending on whether the number of banknotes matches the accumulated number of banknotes. , then ``
Bill storage section 22.21 corresponding to each volume by "bill type discrimination"
It is reconfirmed that this is the type of ticket taken out. Normally, this "ticket type determination" does not need to be re-recorded, but it is best to double-check as it cannot be said that there are no errors when the clerk sets the missing amount. Regarding "determination of fitness and loss", depending on the operation mode at the time of deposit,
It will be determined whether classification based on fitness or loss is necessary. In other words,
For deposits, we will accept any ``true'' banknotes, even if they are dirty, torn, or have been repaired with cellophane. They may be stored in the 10,000 yen storage unit 20, 1,000 yen storage unit 21 for withdrawal, or they may be stored in the egg yen/elimination/recovery banknote storage unit 22, and in the former case, fitness is determined at the time of withdrawal. is necessary, and the latter is not particularly necessary. In any case, unfit notes must be avoided as banknotes to be paid out to customers. When carrying out fit/failure classification control, unfit bills are the same as rejected bills that cannot be identified by the inspection unit 36 due to stacking, significant skew, pitch that exceeds the standard, or abnormal conveyance that occurs when normal bills are taken out. The coins are then guided to the egg yen/excluded/recovered banknote storage section 22, where they are accumulated and stored. In addition, when a rejected ticket is generated, the first dart 39a is rotated to the right, and the ticket is accumulated and stored in the egg yen/rejected/recovered banknote storage section 22 as it is. The storage location for rejected banknotes can be switched to the rejected banknote accumulation section. When rejected banknotes are generated in this manner, additional withdrawal is performed to replenish the specified number of banknotes. The payout banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 32 are fed all at once by the mechanism shown in FIG. 9, and are accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 454. After that, after online communication, if the transaction is "permitted", the deposit/withdrawal lower will be activated and the banknote A will be processed.
The process is completed by handing over to i-customer. Therefore, the collection roller 302 as a collection means and the take-out roller 304 as a take-out means are connected to the safe cassette 16,
17.18.19, it is possible to achieve stable takeout performance and stacking without having to maintain a strictly constant relationship between the main body and the safe cassette, unlike conventional systems in which the collecting means and taking out means are provided on the main body side. Performance can be maintained. Also,
There is no need for a window to open the surface of the banknote to bring the ejection means into contact with the conventional method, and there is no need for a door or a door opening/closing mechanism that opens and closes the door in conjunction with the operation of attaching the door to the main body. becomes possible. In addition, the take-out roller 3 is rotatable only when the safe cassette 16, 17, 18, 19 is attached to the main body of the device.
04, it is possible to reliably prevent the unauthorized removal of bills A from the safe cassettes 16, 17, 18, and 19 due to reverse rotation of the take-out roller 304. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist.

【Effect of the invention】

As explained above, according to the present invention, stable takeout performance and stacking performance can be maintained even if the positional relationship between the main body and the safe cassette is not strictly constant, and, moreover, unauthorized removal of banknotes from the safe cassette can be prevented. This has the advantage that it is possible to provide an automatic transaction device that can obtain the following information.
