As described above, the pressing member 610 positioned at the avoiding position is rotated by the elastic force of the elastic member 616 in the process of being linearly moved toward the second pick-up roller 34, And can press the medium in contact with the medium positioned at the end of the medium integrated in the support surface 26. [ At this time, the medium accumulated in the second space 22 in a state inclined by the support surface 26 and the support guide 39 is pressed by the pressing member 610 in the drawing, And may be in a state of being substantially perpendicular to the support surface 26 by rotating toward the entrance of the path 56.

The medium M2 conveyed to the take-out path 56 is conveyed along the first conveying path 51 and is again conveyed to the second conveying path 52 after passing through the discriminating part 25, And can be integrated in the storage section 40.

At this time, if the medium M2 is judged to be a defective medium after passing through the discriminating part 25 again, it can be recovered to the first recovering cassette 46 through the recovering path 57.

10 is a view showing media transportation in the withdrawal process of the medium.

Referring to FIG. 10, when a withdrawal instruction of a medium is received through the user interface 12, the medium and the number of media corresponding to the received withdrawal amount are released from the medium storage unit 40. The medium discharged from the medium storage unit 40 is conveyed along the second conveyance path 52 and then passes along the first conveyance path 51 and passes through the discrimination unit 25. [ Among the media passing through the discriminating unit 25, the normal medium is conveyed along the third conveyance path 53, and is drawn into the second space 22 through the withdrawal path 55. On the other hand, the defective medium in the medium passing through the distinguishing unit 25 can be recovered to the second recovery cassette 47 through the recovery path 57.

When the withdrawal of the medium for withdrawal to the second space 22 is completed, the shutter 24 is unlocked and / or opened so that the user can take out the medium located in the second space 22. In the withdrawal process, the second space 22 serves as a withdrawal space in which a medium for withdrawal is located.

When the medium integrated in the second space 22 is not received in the withdrawal process, the unreceived medium can be deposited or withdrawn, and the depositing process and the withdrawal process are the same as those described in FIGS. 8 and 9 Therefore, detailed description will be omitted.

According to the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

First, since the separating device for separating the medium into the second space in which the counted media is accumulated in the counting process is provided, there is an advantage that the depositing process can be performed immediately without taking out the medium from the second space after the counting.

Therefore, in the depositing process, since the medium passing through the discriminating unit is temporarily accumulated in the second space, when the user inputs the deposit canceling command, the medium located in the second space is not transferred to another module, So that the transaction time can be shortened and the structure of the financial apparatus can be simplified.

Furthermore, since the medium is temporarily accumulated in the second space, which is a withdrawal space accessible by the user, without having a separate temporary accumulation unit inside the financial apparatus, the structure of the financial apparatus is simplified.
