One upper bank storage unit 310 ″ and one lower bank storage unit 350 ″ are installed in a vertically stacked structure, and the pair of upper and lower bank storage units installed in such a stacked structure is connected to an upper portion of another pair of neighboring ones. And spaced apart from each other with a space between the lower bank and the storage.

The upper space is connected to the second transport path 420 in the spaced apart space, and the lower side is connected to the upper bank storage unit 300a "; 310", 320 ", 330", 340 "and the lower bank storage unit 300b"; 350 Sixth conveying paths 460a and 460b connected to both the left and right sides of the “360”, 370 ”, and 380” are provided in the vertical direction.

Hereinafter, a bill processing method by a bill processing apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

- Deposit process -

11 is a view showing a transfer path of bills when depositing the count in the bill processing apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention, Figure 12 is a transfer of bills when deposit rejected in a bill processing apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention Figure 13 is a view showing a path, the banknote processing apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention when the deposit cancellation return and withdrawal when showing the transfer path of the bill.

When depositing a banknote by a customer or a cashier in the first space 110 of the deposit and withdrawal unit 100, the normal right of the banknotes is the first transport path 410 → the discrimination unit 200 → the second transport path 420. The bills are sequentially stored in the banknote storage unit 300 ″ for each type (see FIG. 11, the deposit counting process).

If the discrimination result occurs in the discrimination unit 200, the reject right is sequentially loaded through the second transport path 420 and the third transport path 430 and then loaded in the second space 120. (See Figure 12, deposit rejection process).

Banknotes stored in any one of the bill storage unit 300 "by the deposit counting process, when the user requests to cancel the deposit in this state bills stored in the bill storage unit 300" is the second transport path 420, It is stored in the second space 120 via the discrimination unit 200, the first transport path 410, the fourth transport path 440 (see Fig. 13, the deposit cancellation return process).

- Withdrawal process -

Since the transfer path of banknotes when withdrawing is the same as the banknote transfer path when the deposit is canceled and returned, when a user or a cashier requests a withdrawal, the banknotes stored inside the banknote storage unit 300 "are separated into sheets and the second transfer path 420 ), The discrimination unit 200, the first transport path 410, the fourth transport path 440 and the third branch point 403 is stored in the second space 120 (see Fig. 13, withdrawal process).

Supplementary Course

Since the transfer path of banknotes at the time of replenishment of bills is the same as the transfer path of banknotes at the time of deposit, when the accountant puts the banknotes into the first space 110 for replenishment of the banknotes, the banknotes are separated into sheets and the first transport path 410, After passing through the discriminating unit 200 and the second conveying path 420 sequentially, the bills are separately stored in each bill type in the bill storage unit 300 ″ (see FIG. 11, a bill supplement process).

-Counting and banding process-

In the counting mode and the paper sorting mode, the conveying path of the bill is the same as the conveying path of the bill shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, so that the accountants insert the bill into the first space 110 of the deposit and withdrawal unit 100 for bill counting When the bills are separated, the bills are separated and transferred to the discriminating unit 200, and as a result of the discrimination in the discriminating unit 200, the normal ticket is stored in the bill storing unit 300 " See FIG. 11).

In this case, the banknote discriminated by the discrimination unit 200 as the reject ticket is stored in the second space 120 via the second upper conveyance path 420a, the second branch point 402, and the third conveyance path 430. The clerk will then receive it (see Figure 12).

After that, the normal ticket stored in each bill type in the banknote storage part 300 ″ is separated into pieces again, and the second transport path 420, the discrimination unit 200, the first transport path 410, the first branch point 401, and the like. It is stored in the second space 120 via the fourth transport path 440 (see FIG. 13, counting process).

On the other hand, if you look at the process of separating the kind, when the cashier puts the bill into the first space 110 of the deposit and withdrawal unit 100 is separated into pieces to be transferred to the discriminating unit 200, the discrimination result in the discriminating unit 200 The bills are classified and stored in a plurality of bill storage units 310 ", 320 ", 330 ", 340 ", 350 ", 360 ", 380 " (see FIG. 11).

Banknotes stored in each bill type in the bill storing unit 310 ″, 320 ″, 330 ″, 340 ″, 350 ″, 360 ″, 370 ″, and 380 ″ are separated in sequence in the order of the set sorts, and the second transport path ( 420, the discrimination unit 200, the first transport path 410, the first junction 401 and the fourth transport path 440 is received in the second space 120 when received in the second space 120 is separated by the classmate process This ends (see FIG. 13).
