2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional automatic bill dispensing and dispensing apparatus, there is known a technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-022476. This type of equipment includes a denomination stacker for storing incoming and outgoing banknotes, a batch cassette for replenishing and collecting bills for the denomination stacker, and a discriminating unit that discriminates between authentic bills when dispensing. It is mainly equipped with a reject cassette for storing banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal even after the banknotes are dispensed (hereinafter referred to as “dirty banknotes”). The denomination stacker is generally
A plurality of units are provided in accordance with the types of money handled by the apparatus. For example, when the denominations of bills to be paid at the time of dispensing are 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen, two kinds of denomination stackers for 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen are provided. In addition, the reject cassette stores a 5,000-yen note in addition to the above-mentioned soiled banknote. Generally, 5,000-yen tickets have a small issue volume,
Even if the 5,000 yen ticket inserted at the time of deposit is stored in the reject cassette, the reject cassette does not become full immediately, and even if the 5,000 yen ticket is stored in the reject cassette at the time of deposit. This is because a thousand tickets can be substituted for withdrawal, which is preferable in terms of operation of the apparatus.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional automatic banknote pay-in / pay-out device, only a number of denomination cassettes are provided in accordance with a denomination to be handled, so that, for example, a new banknote is newly issued. As in the case, for example, when the number of denominations of the apparatus increases, there is a problem that the number of denomination stackers is insufficient and it is impossible to cope with dispensing. Further, as in the case of the conventional 5,000-yen ticket, if new banknotes are stored in the reject cassette at the time of payment, there is a problem that the storage amount of the reject cassette tends to be insufficient. In any case, there is a problem in that, as the number of denominations increases, restrictions such as dispensing with the device occur.

Features. This allows
Since the value of the banknotes in the batch cassette can be determined, even if banknotes such as new banknotes are stored in the batch cassette, deposit and withdrawal operations can be performed as in the case of the denomination stacker. .

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the bill automatic depositing and dispensing apparatus according to the first aspect, when replenishing the denomination stacker from the collective cassette, the bill rejected by the discriminating unit is rejected in the collective cassette. The configuration is characterized in that it is stored in the unit. This allows
When the device is, for example, the banknotes in the denomination stacker, the batch cassette and the reject cassette are to be managed, the banknotes rejected by the discrimination unit are stored separately from the banknotes to be managed in the rejection replenishment. Outside banknotes become clear.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the automatic bill dispensing and dispensing apparatus according to the first or fourth aspect, when dispensing from the batch cassette, the bill rejected by the discriminating unit is stored in the reject cassette. The feature of the configuration is that it is performed. Thereby, for example, when the device is to manage the banknotes in the denomination stacker, the batch cassette and the reject cassette, to store the banknotes rejected by the discrimination unit in the reject cassette separately from the banknotes to be unmanaged. In addition, the banknotes to be managed by the device become clear.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the bill automatic depositing and dispensing apparatus according to the first aspect, at the time of a deposit transaction, at least one denomination stacker is provided with a denominated banknote and a denomination other than the denomination. After the deposit transaction, the mixed bills are transported from the denomination stacker to the bill slot, and the denominated bills are transported to the denomination stacker.

The payment of the device is calculated by the following equation.

[Equation 1] (Amount in batch cassette determined by collection) + (Amount in reject cassette) = (Amount of replenishment) +
(Payment Amount)-(Payment Amount) FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the replenishment operation. First, when a banknote is loaded with replenishment bills in the lump cassette 41 and replenishment is instructed, the bills in the lump cassette 41 are separated by the separation and accumulation mechanism 26.
(See FIG. 1) and send out to the transport path. And
The 10,000 yen discriminated as normal by the discriminating unit 14 is stored in the denomination stacker 17a, and the 1,000 yen and the A yen are stored in the denomination stacker 17b. It is integrated in the storage part 51 (see FIG. 1) (FIG. 5).

Next, the A circle in the denomination stacker 17b is separated one by one by the separation and accumulation mechanism unit 20b and fed out to the transport path. The bills fed to the transport path are conveyed to the discrimination unit 14 and discriminated by the discrimination unit 14. The discriminated banknotes are stored in the stage 48 (see FIG. 1) in the batch cassette 41 by the separation and accumulation mechanism unit 26 (see FIG. 1). The banknotes that could not be discriminated by the discrimination unit 14 are stored in the third type reject banknote storage unit 43 of the reject cassette 33.
This is repeated until the A circle in the denomination stacker 17b is exhausted (FIG. 4).

When loading the batch cassette 41 at the time of replenishment, as shown in FIG. 4, the A circle is loaded without being mixed with 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen. According to the above-described embodiment, (1) the function of storing incoming and outgoing bills is provided in the batch cassette, so that the number of denomination stackers can be increased and the number of denominations of the apparatus can be increased without restricting transactions. it can.

(2) Since the transport route can be replenished from the collective cassette to the denomination stacker and can be directly dispensed from the collective cassette, a new bill can be issued.
Even when it becomes necessary to dispense the third denomination, the processing can be performed without increasing the dispensing processing time. (3) Replenish the transport route from the batch cassette to the denomination stacker,
On the other hand, since the conveyer can be conveyed in both directions so as to be collected from the denomination stacker to the batch cassette, the third denomination of the denomination in the batch cassette is once conveyed to the denomination stacker and returned. After replenishment from the batch cassette, the stacking of all stackers and banknotes in the batch cassette can be determined.

(4) The transport route is configured so that the rejected ticket when refilling the denomination stacker from the collective cassette and the storage destination of the rejected ticket generated when dispensing from the collective cassette are stored separately. The rejected ticket generated by the replenishment at the time can be clearly distinguished, and in the event of a cash miscalculation, the number of the first loaded, the number counted by the device and the actual rejected ticket are added,
Can be clarified.

(5) 3 bills to be stored independently
When the denomination is used, three temporary storage units are originally required. However, in the above embodiment, only two locations are used, and one location can be mixed. Can be provided at a low cost. In the above-described embodiment, a description has been given of the automatic banknote dispensing and dispensing apparatus installed in a financial institution such as a bank. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The same processing can be applied to the automatic bill dispensing and dispensing device to be used, and a description thereof will be omitted.

[0027]

As described above, according to the banknote automatic depositing / dispensing apparatus of the present invention, for example, even if a new banknote is newly issued, an effect can be easily obtained, and the reject cassette has insufficient storage capacity. Therefore, it is possible to expect an effect that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of restrictions such as dispensing withdrawal as a device.
