（５）紙葉類処理装置の第１の形態
　図５は、本発明の一実施形態に係る紙葉類処理装置２１０を左側面側から見た模式図である。紙葉類処理装置２１０は紙葉類入出ユニット１００と第１の収納ユニット１１０とを備える。紙葉類入出ユニット１００と第１の収納ユニット１１０とは、高さが互いに略等しくされている。 (5) First Form of Sheet Processing Device FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the sheet processing device 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the left side. The sheet processing apparatus 210 includes a sheet loading / unloading unit 100 and a first storage unit 110. The paper sheet loading and unloading unit 100 and the first storage unit 110 are approximately equal in height.
　紙葉類処理装置２１０において、搬送部１０５は、第１の入出部１０３及び第１の接続部１１３を介して、複数の第１の紙葉類収納部１１１に接続されている。よって、紙葉類投入部１０１から投入された紙幣は、搬送部１０５によって搬送されるとともに識別部１０６で識別された後、識別結果に従って、複数の第１の紙葉類収納部１１１のいずれかに収納される。また、第１の紙葉類収納部１１１に収納されている紙幣は、搬送部１０５によって搬送されるとともに、必要に応じて識別部１０６で識別された後、紙葉類排出部１０２から排出される。 In the sheet processing apparatus 210, the transport unit 105 is connected to the plurality of first sheet storage units 111 via the first input / output unit 103 and the first connection unit 113. Therefore, after being conveyed by the conveyance unit 105 and being recognized by the identification unit 106, the banknotes inserted from the paper sheet insertion unit 101 are any of the plurality of first paper sheets accommodation units 111 according to the identification result. Housed in In addition, the banknotes stored in the first paper sheet storage unit 111 are conveyed by the conveyance unit 105 and, after being identified by the identification unit 106 as needed, discharged from the paper sheet discharge unit 102 Ru.
　紙葉類処理装置２１０は、紙幣を収納するスペースとして、第１の収納ユニット１１０内の２つの第１の紙葉類収納部１１１を有している。それぞれの第１の紙葉類収納部１１１は２つの回転体を有しているので、真偽、正損、金種等の種類別に、最大で４種類に紙幣を物理的に区分けして収納することができる。１つの回転体に複数の種類の紙幣を巻き取るようにしてもよく、この場合は、５種類以上の紙幣を収納することができる。また、紙幣を収納した第１の紙葉類収納部１１１を紙葉類処理装置２１０から取り外すことで、紙葉類処理装置２１０から紙幣を回収することができる。また、紙幣を収納した第１の紙葉類収納部１１１を紙葉類処理装置２１０に取り付けることで、紙葉類処理装置２１０に紙幣を補充することができる。 The sheet processing apparatus 210 has two first sheet storage units 111 in the first storage unit 110 as a space for storing bills.
