The operation of the present invention with the above configuration will be explained.

First, the deposit operation will be explained. The shutter 28 is opened by the customer's deposit request operation, and when the customer inserts banknotes into the deposit slot 27, this is detected and the shutter 28 is closed again. Next, the suppression plate 30 in the retracted position presses the banknotes against the separating section 29, and the separating section 29 separates and feeds out the banknotes one by one.

The separated input banknotes are classified into authenticity, fitness, and denomination in the discrimination section 31, and accepted banknotes that have been accepted for deposit are led to the temporary pool section 41 by switching blades 51a, 51b, and 51e and temporarily stored.

In addition, rejected banknotes that cannot be deposited are transferred to the banknote discharge port 44 by switching blades 51a, 51b, and 51e.

On the other hand, when the deposited banknotes temporarily stored in the temporary pool section 41 are approved by the customer, the deposited banknotes are separated one by one by the separating section 38 as deposited banknotes and then returned to the discriminating section 38.
Go to 1.

Here, the discriminating unit 31 identifies the fitness and denomination of the separated deposited banknotes, and among them, the deposited banknotes to be withdrawn are of the denomination to be withdrawn and are not damaged bills and can be reused for withdrawal.
, 51b or 51a.

51d, they are stored in the turnaround stackers 32 and 33, respectively. Further, the stages 39 and 40 push up the top surface of banknotes to a certain position and then lower them one by one according to the number of stored banknotes.

Deposited banknotes that are identified by the discrimination unit 31 as unfit notes and denominations that are not eligible for withdrawal are transferred to the switching blades 51m, 51d, and 5.
1e is stored in the storage section 48a.

Further, if the deposited banknotes temporarily stored in the temporary pool section 41 are not approved by the customer and the deposit is canceled, the banknotes are separated one by one by the separating section 38 as returned banknotes, and the switching blade 51a separates the received banknotes one by one as returned banknotes.

The portions 51d and 51e are separated by the bill ejection port 44 by the guiding operation.
It is all released and returned to the customer's box by opening the shutter 47. If the customer forgets to take the returned banknotes, the bottom plate 45 is retracted in the direction of arrow C, and the banknotes in the banknote discharge port 44 are taken into the storage section 48b all at once.

Next, the withdrawal operation will be explained.

First, when operating the apparatus, the staff fills the turnaround stackers 32 and 33 with dispensing forms fl in advance.

The filling operation is as follows.

First, the staff member inserts banknotes into the deposit slot 27 in the same way as deposited banknotes. The separating section 29 separates the bills one by one and sends them to the discriminating section 31, which identifies whether the bills are fair or defective and the denomination, and converts the bills that are valid and to be withdrawn into grade 5 as filled bills.
1a, 51b or 51a, 51d are stored in each turnaround stacker 32, 33 according to denomination. In addition, banknotes that are not eligible for filling and that have been identified by the discrimination unit 31 as unfit bills or all banks that are not eligible for withdrawal are displayed on the switching plate 5.
The banknotes are separated into 1a, 51d, and 51e, stacked in the banknote outlet 44, and returned to the clerk.

This completes the filling of bills for withdrawal. The following is the withdrawal operation.

Based on the customer's withdrawal request operation, in the turnaround stacker 32, 33, the stored banknotes are separated one by one by the separating units 37 and 38, and the discriminating unit 31 detects abnormalities such as heavy running or skewing of the separated and fed banknotes. While identifying the presence or absence of dispensing rejected banknotes, all the banknotes are removed from the banknote discharging port 4.
4, and if no rejected banknotes are mixed in the collected banknotes for withdrawal, the shutter 47 is opened and the banknotes are delivered to the customer. If it is determined that rejected banknotes are mixed in with the accumulated banknotes, the bottom plate 45 is retracted, the banknotes are taken into the storage section 48b, and the banknotes are transferred again from the turnaround stacker 32, 33 to the amount specified by the customer. Corresponding banknotes are separated one by one in the separating sections 37 and 38, and then passed to the discriminating section 3.
1 and is discharged to the bill discharge port 44. The above-mentioned operations are repeated until a feed-out failure such as one run no longer occurs.

The above is the deposit/withdrawal operation of this embodiment.

Also, during equipment operation, turnaround stacker 32.3
When the amount of banknotes stored in step 3 becomes small, the staff fills the banknote storage for withdrawal into the deposit slot 27 and replenishes the banknotes stored in the same manner as when filling banknotes for withdrawal at the start of operation.

To collect banknotes inside the device after the end of business, etc., the banknotes stored in the turnaround stacker 32.33 are separated one by one by the separation unit 37.38, and the switching blade 5
1a, 51d, and 51c to the storage section 48 of the safe section 48.
All items are taken out to step a, and the safe section 48 is removed from the main body of the device.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing this embodiment, and in the figure, 52 indicates the deposit port 27, the banknote conveyance path 50, and 52, as described above. Switching grades 51a, 51b.

51c, 51d, 51e, a control unit that controls the operation of each part of the banknote discharge port 44, and determines whether the banknote is genuine or not, whether it is good or bad, whether it is double denomination, abnormal running, etc. based on information from the discrimination unit 31. It is.

In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the banknotes to be deposited are of multiple denominations (for example, 10,000 yen notes, 5,000 yen notes, 1,000 yen notes, and 500 yen notes), and the banknotes to be withdrawn are Although the configuration is made with two denominations (for example, 10,000 yen notes and 1,000 yen notes), the invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in the second embodiment in FIG. 3, the withdrawal target can be limited to one denomination. It is also possible to simplify the device and make it smaller and cheaper.

In addition, the banknotes collected in the safe as described above can be easily sorted by denomination and fitness, counted, bundled, etc. using a banknote counting machine normally installed at financial institutions. Therefore, there is no particular increase in the burden due to mixed storage of banknotes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, in a circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine that automatically deposits and withdraws money and circulates deposited bills that can be reused for withdrawal, A temporary pool section is provided to temporarily store the banknotes that have been identified as acceptable until the transaction is approved, and this temporary pool section is integrated with the banknote storage section for withdrawal. The bill separating section in the banknote storage section is also used as the bill separating section in the temporary pool section, greatly reducing the number of separating sections and storage sections in the device, which greatly reduces the incidence of bill jams. It has the effect of being possible.

In addition, there is one safe that can be attached and removed from the main body of the device, so that all banknotes in the device can be collected into this safe, and the staff can count all the banknotes in the device in this safe. This has the effect of significantly reducing the operational burden on staff when counting banknotes after serving appetizers.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, the banknote storage unit other than the banknotes to be stored in the withdrawal banknote storage unit has been combined into a safe unit, and the separating unit and storage unit have been largely omitted. ,
While achieving the above effects, the device can also be made smaller and lower in price.

Further, according to the configuration of the present invention, it is possible to fill with bills for withdrawal by inserting the bills from the deposit slot without taking out the bill storing section for withdrawal from the device. This has the effect of significantly reducing the operational burden placed on the system, such as concerns about staff counting banknotes, and reductions in operating efficiency due to suspension of operation of the device.
