Here, "front side" in this specification means a side near the front side of the financial instrument.

As described above, since the second space is located behind the first space, when the medium is introduced into the first space or the medium is discharged, the visibility of the medium located in the first space is lowered for the customer who is on the wheelchair. Particularly, when a small number of media are located in the first space, visibility is further reduced. In this case, there may arise a problem that the customer has not received the medium of the first space. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to improve the visibility, the medium may be introduced into the second space S2 or the medium may be emitted in the second mode.

The media processing apparatus 100 further includes a first pickup roller 151 for picking up a medium in the first space S1 and a second pick-up roller 151 for picking up a medium picked up in the first space S1, A first feed roller 161 and a first gate roller 162 for transporting the medium on the first path 19 to the first space S1 or for transporting the medium on the first path 19 to the first space S1. ).

When the guiders 110 and 120 and the pushers 130 and 140 are in the return waiting state, the shutter 180 is opened and the customer can take out the returned medium. In the return-waiting state, the media M1 separated and the rejected medium R1 are separated by the pressing portions 130 and 140. However, since the pressing portions 130 and 140 are in contact with each other, The customer can receive the rejected medium R1 together with the non-separated medium M1.

If the customer has not received the returned media or the customer has entered a re-deposit order, the returned media may be re-deposited.

Referring to FIG. 10, the front guider 110 and the first pressing unit 130 move toward the first pickup roller 151 to be placed in a pickup standby position for re-depositing the returned medium. In addition, the rear guider 120 and the second pressing portion 140 move toward the second pickup roller 162 and are placed in the pickup standby position.

That is, not only the guiders 110 and 120 move away from each other, but also the pressers 130 and 140 move away from each other.

The medium M1 of the first space S1 is picked up by the first pickup roller 151 and the medium R1 of the second space S2 is picked up by the second pick- . The medium M1 picked up by the first pick-up roller 151 is conveyed to the first path 191 by the first feed roller 161 and the first gate roller 162, The medium R1 picked up by the first feed roller 152 and the second feed roller 163 is conveyed to the second path 192 by the second feed roller 163 and the second gate roller 164 (see arrow D). At this time, after the pickup of any one of the first space S1 and the second space S2 is completed, the pickup of the medium of the other space may be performed.

Referring to FIG. 17, when a media identification error occurs or a damaged medium is deposited as a result of discrimination of a medium inserted for depositing, the medium R1 passing through the discrimination unit 20 is transferred to the first path 191 To the first space S1 (see arrow B). Alternatively, if a deposit cancel command is input while the medium is temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 30, the medium may be rejected and integrated into the first space S1.

Next, referring to FIG. 18, each of the guiders 110 and 120 and the pressurizing units 130 and 140 returns to the return waiting state to return the rejected medium. That is, each of the front guider 110 and the rear guider 120 moves from the pickup standby position to the return reference position. In Fig. 18, each of the guiders 110 and 120 moves in a direction approaching each other.

Also, the pressing portions 130 and 140 move to the return waiting position. In FIG. 18, each of the pressing portions 130 and 140 moves in a direction approaching each other. At this time, the pressing portions 130 and 140 can contact each other.

In this embodiment, the deposit reference position of each guider 110, 120 may be the same as or different from the return reference position.

When the guiders 110 and 120 and the pushers 130 and 140 are in the return waiting state, the shutter 180 is opened and the customer can take out the returned medium. In the return-waiting state, the media M1 separated and the rejected medium R1 are separated by the pressing portions 130 and 140. However, since the pressing portions 130 and 140 are in contact with each other, The customer can receive the rejected medium R1 together with the non-separated medium M1.

If the customer has not received the returned media or the customer has entered a re-deposit order, the returned media may be re-deposited.

Referring to FIG. 19, the front guider 110 and the first pressing unit 130 move toward the first pickup roller 151 to be placed in a pickup standby position for re-depositing the returned medium. In addition, the rear guider 120 and the second pressing portion 140 move toward the second pickup roller 162 and are placed in the pickup standby position.

That is, not only the guiders 110 and 120 move away from each other, but also the pressers 130 and 140 move away from each other.

The medium R1 of the first space S1 is picked up by the first pickup roller 151 and the medium M1 of the second space S2 is picked up by the second pick- . The medium R1 picked up by the first pick-up roller 151 is conveyed to the first path 191 by the first feed roller 161 and the first gate roller 162 (see arrow D) The medium M1 picked up by the second pick-up roller 152 is conveyed to the second path 192 by the second feed roller 163 and the second gate roller 164 (see arrow D). At this time, after the pickup of any one of the first space S1 and the second space S2 is completed, the pickup of the medium of the other space may be performed.

The media transported along the respective paths 191 and 192 may be transported to the third collection box 54 after passing through the distinguishing unit 20 and stored.

FIGS. 20 and 21 are diagrams showing a process of withdrawing media in the second mode.

20, for withdrawal of the medium, the rear guider 120 moves to the accumulation standby position, and the second presser 140 moves to a position spaced from the rear guider 110 by a predetermined distance do. The reason for this is to secure a second space S2 of a certain size for positioning the medium to be withdrawn.

The first pressing portion 130 and the front guider 110 are moved to the withdrawal reference position. At this time, the first pressing portion 130 can be kept in contact with the front guider 110.

Then, after the medium M2 stored in the medium storage box 40 is taken out from the medium storage box 40, the medium M2 is passed through the discrimination unit 20. [ Then, the medium M2 is transferred to the second space S2 through the second path 192 and accumulated in the first space S2. When the transfer of the medium M2 is completed, the second pressing portion 140 and the rear guider 120 move to the withdrawal reference position. Referring to FIG. 21, the rear guider 120 and the second pressing portion 140 move toward the front guider 110.

In the present embodiment, a state in which each of the guider and the pressing portion are located at the withdrawal reference position is referred to as a withdrawal waiting state. In the withdrawal waiting state, the shutter is opened so that the customer can take out the medium.

If the customer has taken out the withdrawn medium, it can be re-deposited through the same process as described in FIG. 196.

According to the present invention, since the position of the space for deposit and withdrawal can be varied according to the customer, not only a general customer but also a customer wearing a wheelchair can conveniently take out a medium or take out a discharged medium, It is possible to prevent the medium from being neglected.

In the above embodiment, the support surface for supporting the medium is described as being horizontally disposed. However, the support surface may be inclined with respect to the horizontal surface so as to improve the visibility of the medium. At this time, the support surface may be arranged to be inclined upward from the front guider toward the rear guider.
