S, if the friction coefficient between bills is μB and the pushing force of the pushing plate 309 pushing the bill A against the elastic rising force of the backup 310 is W, the force F for pulling out the ticket A ″. ₁ is at most F ₁ = (μS + μB) W.

On the other hand, when a high friction member (rubber plate) 345 is attached to the pressing plate 309 as in the present invention, the high friction member 34
5 and the friction coefficient between the paper money A and .mu.r, considering similar to the above, Choro decene A "to pull Nuku force F ₂ is the maximum _{F 2 = (μR + μB)} W. Preparative These F _1, F ₂ If it is not greater than the clamping force R at the insertion roller 304, the choro ticket A ″ cannot be pulled out. The clamping force R is determined by the fact that a part of the take-out roller 304, the gate roller 306, the pickup roller 307, etc. are generally made of high friction rubber,
Considering that the gap between 4 and the gate roller 306 is small, the force is relatively large depending on the degree of protrusion of the choro.

Considering that the pressing plate 309 is made of metal or plastic, the friction coefficient generally satisfies μR >>μB>μS> 0. Thus, the force F ₁ and F ₂ withdrawing becomes F ₂ >> F _1. Therefore, by sticking the high friction member 345 to the pushing plate 309, the force for pulling out the choro ticket A "can be increased, and no slip occurs between the pushing plate 309 and the choro ticket A" at the time of pushing. Thus, the pull-out operation can be reliably performed, and the operation of returning to the start can be stably performed.

Fig. 18 shows the stacking stopper guide as a stacking guide member
It shows 350 configurations. Stacking stopper guide 350
Is provided with a hole 350a and a long hole 350b, which are flapper 31
The fifth pin 315a and the pin 353a of the disk 353 are supported. The flapper 315 rotates about a shaft 315b, and the disk 353 is rotatable about a fulcrum 353b.
The link 352 is a link connecting the fulcrum 315c of the flapper 315 and the fulcrum 353c of the disk 353. With the above configuration, if the flapper 315 is rotated about the shaft 315b, the accumulation stopper guide 350 moves in conjunction with the rotation.

Normally, the rotating force is transmitted to the flapper shaft 315b by a spring 359 (see FIG. 1) built in the safe cassette 16, and the flapper 315 is moved out of the storage chamber 301 as shown in FIG. Is out. At this time, the accumulation stopper guide 350
The guide end face 350d is substantially flush with the extraction floor 316.

In FIG. 18 (b), a rotational force in the opposite direction to the rotational force of the above-mentioned spring is transmitted to the flapper shaft 315b from a drive source (not shown) outside the safe cassette 16, and the flapper 315 is moved from the inner wall surface of the take-out side floor 316. This shows a protruding state. The flapper 315 stops at a predetermined position when its stopper portion 315d hits the outer wall surface of the take-out side floor 316.

At this time, the guide end face 350d of the accumulation stopper guide 350
Is projected from the inner wall surface of the take-out side floor 316 by the dimension C to guide the end face of the bill A, and the upper end 350c is nested with the take-out roller 304 so that the bill A is between the take-out roller 304 and the gate roller 306. Not to enter.

When the stored banknotes A are being pressed in this state, the stored banknotes A push up the banknote supporting portion 315e of the flapper 315 by the lifting force of the backup body 310.
15 can keep the state of protruding into the storage section 301 even if no rotational force is applied from the drive source, and can reliably hold and hold the stored banknotes A.

FIG. 19 shows the function of the stacking stopper guide 350. FIG. 19 (a) shows the state when the banknotes A are stacked.
FIG. 19 (b) shows a state of being pushed by the pushing plate 309, FIG. 19 (c).
FIG. 19 (d) shows a state in which the stored banknotes A are taken out.

That is, the stacking banknotes A shown in FIG. 19 (a) are stacked by being guided by the stacking stopper guide 350 having the guide end face 350d protruding by the dimension C from the inner wall surface of the pick-up side floor 316. The bills A are aligned and stacked without the leading end of the bill A entering the gap with the roller 306.

Here, when the width of the storage unit 301 is H and the width of the bill A is L, the protrusion amount C of the accumulation stopper guide 350 is C = H−
L, so that the stacked banknotes A are aligned and stacked to a width substantially equal to the banknote width L while maintaining the gap C between the banknotes A and the inner wall surface of the take-out floor 316. When the banknotes A thus accumulated are pushed in and stored, the stored banknotes A are arranged approximately in a width L and with a clearance C between the banknotes A and the inner wall surface of the take-out floor 316 as shown in FIG. 19 (c). Is stored.

In bill curling favorite phrase is attached, the tip of the paper money A ₂ to integrated while floating above the tip of Fig. 19 take-out roller 304 hits the integrated stopper arm 350 as shown in (a) and the gate roller 306 Without falling into this gap, it falls along the accumulation stopper guide 350 and is horizontally accumulated on the upper portions of the flappers 315. Thus the progress of the bill A ₃ entering the next, without disturbing the integrated, while being properly Seii the bill A is integrated.

In addition, since the bill stopper guide 350 operates in conjunction with the flapper 315, the stacking stopper guide 350 is always used when the stacking state is formed by the flapper 315 during stacking.
Can be nested with the take-out roller 304, and can travel on a business trip to align the accumulated bills, and can realize highly reliable accumulation without malfunction.

The rear end side of the stored banknote A is in contact with the inner wall surface of the entrance side floor 318 of the storage unit 301 and the banknote A is stored in the storage unit 3.
When moving up and down within 01, resistance effect occurs,
This resistance is smaller than the resistance of the banknote A stored in the misaligned state, and the rate of increase due to the increase in the amount of the banknote A is almost constant. Therefore, when taking out the banknotes A stored in this way, the frictional resistance received by the banknotes A from the inner wall of the storage unit 301 is significantly small as shown in FIG. By raising the banknote A with an appropriate backup force in order to maintain a stable size, the pressing force between the take-out roller 304 and the banknote A can be kept substantially constant. In addition, even when the number of banknotes A is large, the stored banknotes A can generate the same pressing force in a state where they are hardly different from those set by the attendant, so that even a large number of banknotes A can be stably taken out. Becomes possible.

Also, during the accumulation shown in FIG.
Since the flapper 315 is in a locked state via the stored banknote A by pressing 0, the flapper 315 does not move.
The accumulation stopper guide 350 does not move, and the nest of the accumulation stopper guide 350 is not released during accumulation.

After the storing operation shown in FIG. 19 (c), the banknote A is reliably pushed up by the backup body 310, and there is no gap between the banknote A and the flappers 315, 315. Sometimes, the bill A does not enter the gap to cause a stacking failure.

Further, the push plate 309 temporarily stops at the positions of the flappers 315, 315 during the storage shown in FIG.
The bills A do not destroy the flappers 315,315.

Further, during the dispensing preparation operation, when the banknote A in the storage unit 301 is moved to the takeout roller 304 side, the backup body 310
Is temporarily stopped, only the pushing plate 309 is raised, the pressing of the banknote A on the backup body 310 is released, and the spring 370 (No.
(See FIG. 20 (c).) The bill A is lifted only by the urging force, and the backup body 310 is pushed up at a stroke by using inertial force. Thus, even when the storage amount of the bill A is large and the contact resistance force is large, the bill A does not stop on the way and is reliably brought into contact with the take-out roller 304.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent troubles such as unloading or unloading in a skew state, and maintain a stable unloading function.

At the time of withdrawal, as shown in FIG. 19 (d), the stacking stopper guide 350 is retracted from the take-out roller 304 so that the nest is released and does not interfere with the bill A to be taken out. It is taken out from the gap between 304 and the gate roller 306.

FIG. 20A shows the appearance of the safe cassette 16 and the flapper operating mechanism 360. The metal cassette 16 has a stacking roller 302 and a part of the outer periphery of the take-out roller 304 exposed from the safe cover 344 so that the upper part thereof forms a conveyance path. It is supposed to.

Also, guide rollers so that a part protrudes from the upper surface
342 are provided, and the rollers 3 provided in the transport unit 30

The flapper operating mechanism 360 pushes up the guide rollers 371, 371 attached to the free ends of the flapper operating levers 370, 370 on the upper surface of the upper horizontal portion 372a of the drive plate 372, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B. It has a configuration. The drive plate 372 is vertically guided by a plurality of rollers 374 attached to a frame 373 of the apparatus main body 2 so as to be able to move up and down.
Are formed, and the guide roller 377 attached to the free end of the drive plate operating lever 376 is engaged. Further, a plunger solenoid 378 is connected to a pivot end side of the drive plate operation lever 376.

When the plunger solenoid 378 is in the "OFF" state, the drive plate 372 is not raised to rotate the flapper operation levers 370, 370 and the flappers 315, 315 are opened (vertical state) as shown in FIG. 20A. Become. When the plunger solenoid 378 is in the “ON” state, the drive plate 372 rises and the flapper operating levers 370, 370 are rotated to rotate the flapper 3 as shown in FIG. 20B.
15,315 is closed (horizontal state).

FIG. 20c shows the moving mechanism 379 of the pushing plate 309 and the moving mechanism 380 of the backup body 310. First, the pushing plate moving mechanism 379 will be described. In the figure, reference numeral 308 denotes a slide shaft provided in a vertical state.
A push plate stay 367 is attached to 308 via a linear ball bearing 381 so as to automatically move up and down. A push plate 309 is rotatably attached to the distal end side of the push plate stay 367 via a fixture 382.

The board side of the pushing plate 367 is connected to an endless timing belt 391 stretched via a timing pulley 389 and an idle pulley 390. A driven gear 392 and a spring reversing pulley 393 are integrated with the timing pulley 389.
The driven gear 392 meshes with a drive gear 395 attached to a drive shaft of a push plate driving pulse motor 394 provided on the apparatus main body 2 side. Further, one end of a pressing plate return spring 396 is connected to the substrate portion of the pressing plate stay 367, and the pressing plate 309
Is always urged upward. The other end of the pressing plate return spring 396 is wound around a spring reversing pulley 393 and turned downward to be fixed to a spring retaining pin 397 provided near the idle pulley 390.

Then, by driving the pressing plate driving pulse motor 394, the pressing plate 309 is lowered against the urging force of the pressing plate return spring 396, and the bill A is pushed into the storage portion 301, and the motor 394 is driven. Is deactivated, the pressing plate 309 is configured to return to the upper home position by the urging force of the spring 396.

Next, the backup body moving mechanism 380 will be described. A backup body stay 368 is attached to the slide shaft 308 via a linear ball bearing 381 so as to be vertically movable. The backup body 310 is attached to the leading end side of the backup body stay 368 in two directions (3

The substrate side of 310 is an endless timing belt 402 stretched via a timing pulley 400 and an idle pulley 401.
It is connected to. The timing pulley 400 is integrally provided with a gear 403 and a spring reversing pulley 404, and the driven 403 is attached to an output shaft of a backup body control electromagnetic brake 405 as backup body holding means provided on the apparatus main body 2 side. The gear 406 is engaged with the worn gear 406. Further, one end of a backup body return spring 407 is connected to the substrate portion of the backup body stay 368, and the backup 310 is always urged upward. The other end of the backup body return spring 407 is wound around a spring reversing pulley 404 and is folded downward and is fixed to a spring retaining pin 408.

Then, the backup body 310 is lowered against the urging force of the backup body return spring 407 along with the pressing operation of the pressing plate 309, and the electromagnetic brake 405 is turned “on” so that the backup body 310 is turned on by the urging force of the spring 407. It can be held in that position in opposition. When the electromagnetic brake 405 is turned off, the backup body 310 moves upward at a stretch by the urging force of the spring 407.

The pushing plate stay 367 and the backup body stay 3
A magnet 410 is attached to the substrate portion 68, and reed switches 411 (only one portion is shown) are arranged on the apparatus main body 2 side, and the positions of the push plate 309 and the backup body 310 are detected. It has become.

Next, the storing operation of the safe cassette 16 configured as described above will be described.

First, during standby, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), the flappers 315, 315 are held in a closed state protruding into the storage portion 301, and the banknotes A stacked below the flappers 315, 315 are arranged. The bill A is elastically pressed by the backup body 310 from below. Then
When the banknotes A are stacked, the banknotes A are sequentially taken in by the stacking roller 302 and the beater wheel 303, the stacking state is regulated by the stacking stopper guide 350, and the banknotes A are temporarily stacked in the stacking space 301a above the flappers 315, 315. See FIG. 21 (b)].

 When the taking in of the bill A is completed, the storing operation is performed.

 This operation will be described with reference to FIG.

The push plate 309 is lowered, and the bill A in the stacking space (temporary storage unit) 301a is pushed up together with the flappers 315, 315 and the backup body 310 and moves to a specified storage position [FIG. 22 (Step 1)]. Thereafter, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 405 of the backup body moving mechanism 380 is turned “on” to fix the back amplifier 310 [FIG. 21 (c)] [FIG. 22 (step 2)]. Here, the remaining check of the bill A in the stacking space 301a is performed by the bill presence / absence detector 320 [FIG. 22 (step 3)].
With the backup body 310 fixed, only the pushing plate 309 is raised and stopped at the positions of the flappers 315, 315 [FIG. 22 (step 4)]. Thereafter, the flappers 315, 315 are closed by turning on the solenoid 378 [FIG. 22 (d)] [FIG. 22 (step 5)], and thereafter, in this state, the electromagnetic brake as backup body holding means is held.
By turning off 405, the backup body 310 and the banknote A are raised [FIG. 21 (e)]. As a result, the banknotes A are locked by the flappers 315 and 315, and are held in an accumulated state below the flapper 315 [FIG. 22 (step 6)].

Also, the pushing plate 309 is raised and returned to the standby position [21st.
FIG. (F)] [FIG. 22 (step 7)].

On the other hand, in FIG. 22 (step 3), when the residual is detected, that is, when the bill presence / absence detector 320 is “dark”, the pushing plate 3 is fixed with the backup body 310 fixed.
09 is raised and returned to the standby position [FIG. 22 (step 8)].

Thereafter, the backup body 310 is raised by turning off the electromagnetic brake 404 (FIG. 22 (step 9)), and the above-described accumulation and storage process is repeated again.

On the other hand, the operation at the time of taking out the bill A will be described with reference to FIG. 23 and FIG. From the standby state shown in FIG. 23 (a), the push plate 309 is lowered and the flappers 315, 315 are opened, and the accumulation stopper guide 350 retreats from the take-out roller 304,
The push plate 309 hits the upper surface of the bill A [FIG. 23 (b)].
[FIG. 24 (Step 1)]. Thereafter, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 404 is turned on to fix the backup body 310 [FIG. 24 (step 2)]. Later push plate 30
Raise only 9 and return to the standby position [Fig. 23 (c)]
[FIG. 24 (Step 3)]. In this state, the backup 310 and the banknote A are raised by the electromagnetic brake 404 [ON] and returned to the standby position, and the banknote A comes into contact with the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [FIG. 23 (d)] [FIG. twenty four
Figure (Step 4)]. Then, in this state, take out roller 30
4 and the feed roller 305
When the banknotes A are sequentially taken out via the rubber surface 304a of the banknote A, and when a predetermined number of banknotes are taken out, the rubber surface 304a does not come out on the conveying path of the banknote A by the signal of the take-in timing detection switch 323, and The take-out roller 304 stops while maintaining the position where it does not come into contact with the bill A remaining inside [FIG. 23 (e)].

By the way, the bill A is taken out on the rubber surface 3 of the take-out roller 304.
04a is performed only when the banknote A comes into contact with the banknote A, so that the leading edge of the other banknote A except for the banknote A being taken out is stored in the storage unit 30.
Although it should have stopped at a position flush with the take-out side floor 316, however, the banknotes A are usually
May be guided to the position of the gate roller 306, or the leading edge of the bill A may reach the position of the pickup roller 307 due to a timing of taking out the sheet for some reason.

However, when the banknotes A are stacked and stored, as shown in FIG.
Since the stacking space 301a must be formed above the flappers 315 and 315 by pushing the bills A below the flappers 315, 315, the bills A (hereinafter, referred to as choro bills A ″) whose leading edges protrude from the take-out side floor 316 as described above. Then, when the choro ticket A "is pressed by the push-in plate 309, the leading edge of the choro ticket A" may be broken, and it may not be possible to take out the choro ticket A ". It is necessary to pull it back to a position where it is flush with.

Therefore, when the banknotes A are sequentially taken out and the leading edge of the banknotes A protrudes up to the pickup roller 307 at the time when the predetermined number of banknotes A have been taken out, this is detected by the takeout detector 317 and this detection is performed. , The bill A is taken out as it is as a rejected ticket and stored in a reject box.

Next, when there is a "choro-ticket A" in which the leading edge of the bill A projects to the gate roller 306, that is,
Operation when extraction detector 317 is “bright” Fig. 25,
This will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the pushing plate 309 is lowered. At this time, the high friction member 345 of the push-in plate 309 is securely pulled back from the gate roller 306 while contacting and pressing the choro ticket A ″ [FIG. 25 (a)] [FIG. 26 (step 1)]. The bill A accumulated on the choro issue ticket A ″ and the backup body 310 is pressed by the pushing plate 309 to move downward together with the backup body 310.

Then, at the point where it has moved to a certain position, the electromagnetic brake 40
4 is turned on to fix the backup body 310 [FIG. 26 (step 2)], and in this state, only the pushing plate 309 is raised and returned to the standby position [FIG. 25 (b)] [ 26 (Step 3)] In response to this, the pressing against the bill A is released on the backup body 310. Thereafter, in this state, the backup body 310 is raised by the "off" of the electromagnetic brake 404. [FIG. 25 (c)] [FIG. 26 (step 4)].

At this time, since the pressing of the bill A on the backup body 310 is released, the choro ticket A ″ located at the uppermost layer moves freely by friction with the take-out side floor 316 and is aligned.

Here, the pushing plate 309 is lowered again to push the bill A downward (FIG. 26 (step 5)). Thereafter, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 404 is turned on to turn on the backup body 310.
Is fixed [FIG. 26 (step 6). Here, the remaining banknote A in the upper stacking space 301a is detected by the banknote presence / absence detector 320 [FIG. 26 (Step 7)].
If 0 is "dark", it means that the positioning of the choro ticket A "is not sufficient, and the push-in plate 8)] with the backup body 310 fixed, and then the electromagnetic brake 404 is set to" The above-mentioned positioning operation of turning off and raising the backup body 310 is repeated [FIG. 26 (step 9)]. Also,
If the banknote presence / absence detector 320 is "bright" in FIG. 26 (step 7), it means that the alignment of the choro ticket A "has been completed, and only the pushing plate 309 is raised with the backup body 310 fixed. And stop at the positions of the flappers 315, 315 [26th
Figure (Step 10)]. Thereafter, the flappers 315, 315 are tilted down via the solenoid [FIG. 26 (d)] [FIG. 26 (step 11)].
The backup body 310 and the banknote A are raised by [OFF], and the banknote A is held below these flappers 315, 315 [FIG. 25 (e)] [FIG. 26 (step 12)]. Further, the push plate 309 is raised and returned to the standby position [FIG. 25 (f)].
[FIG. 26 (Step 13)].

On the other hand, at the time of taking out the banknote A, when all the banknotes A in the storage unit 301 are taken out, as shown in FIG.
The take-out detector 317 becomes "bright" for a certain period of time, and accordingly, the banknote presence / absence detector 320 is turned "on", and the backup body 310 is pressed by the push plate 309 to push the push plate
It descends integrally with 309 [FIG. 27 (b)]. Then, when the backup body 310 passes through the portion where the flappers 315, 315 are disposed, the flappers 315, 315 are closed by the “on” of the solenoid 378 of the flapper operating mechanism 360, and these flappers 3
15,315 locks the backup 310 and push plate 3
09 rises and returns to the standby position [FIG. 27 (c)].

At this time, the light emitted from the bill presence / absence detector 320 is transmitted through the transmission holes 309a, 30
9b, the emitted light is directed obliquely to the moving (downward) direction of the pressing plate 309 and the backup body 310, and thus the emitted light relatively moves in accordance with the movement of the pressing plate 309 and the backup body 310. The outgoing light sequentially transitions from one end to the other end of the transmitted light 309a, 310a, and therefore, a wide area S on the upper surface of the backup body 310 [FIG.
Ref.] Can be detected, and even if a banknote A such as a habit ticket has a folded ticket on the backup body 310, it can be accurately detected without overlooking it.

FIG. 28 is for explaining an electric circuit. That is, the main control unit 450 controls the entire system, and the depositing and dispensing mechanism control unit 451 transmits a signal from the main control unit 450 to the inspection control unit.

Then, after the user puts the bill bundle A into the stacking unit 154 as the bill receiving unit in a batch and three-dimensional state by mixing the denominations front and back, when the shutter 115 is closed, the shutter closing detector 119 detects that the shutter 115 is closed. Detect.

Next, the floor drive motor 111 rotates at high speed, and in response to this, the first floor 107 at the bottom of the stacking unit 154 vibrates up and down, and the banknote A is aligned by the vibration. At this time, when the detection failure of the bill A is detected by the detector 157, the main control unit 450 opens the shutter 115 and guides the guide display unit 10 to "reinsert the bill correctly and close the door". Shutter 11
When the position 5 is closed, the positioning operation is performed again, and the detector 15
After detection of 7,151, the main control unit 450 determines that the banknote A has been correctly deposited in the stacking unit 154,
One by one is taken in from the foremost one via 103. The taken banknote A is conveyed through the taking conveyance path 38a (see FIG. 3). At this time, the banknote A is detected by the banknote passage detector 40a, and the main control unit 450 counts the number of the banknotes based on the detection signal. In addition, when the bill A passes through the inspection unit 35, “shorter length”, “longer length”, “magnetic pattern matching”, “color separation of transmitted light”, “division matching of minute parts by reflected light” By performing such detections, “ticket type determination”, “authentication determination”, “front / back determination”, “new / old ticket determination” is performed,
The result is supplied to the main control unit 450. Thereby, main controller 450 counts the inspection result by a counter (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 450 removes the banknote A that is “false” in the authenticity determination from the deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12 if the banknote A cannot be recognized as a correct banknote due to being stacked, significantly skewed, or damaged. Output a signal. Thereby, when the leading end of the bill A reaches the bill passage detector 40f, the third
Of the fourth distribution gate 39d is turned leftward. Then, the bills A are temporarily accumulated in the dispensing temporary accumulation section 36.

On the other hand, when the bill is determined to be “true” in the true / false determination and is determined to be “back” in the front / back determination, the main control unit 450 outputs a signal to the deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12. Thereby, the bill A
Are distributed by the distribution gates 39c and 39d, and are accumulated in the deposit temporary accumulation unit 37 via the left transport path. The banknotes A determined to be “true” in the authenticity determination and “front” in the front / back determination are sorted by the sorting gate 39c, and are stacked in the depositing temporary stacking unit 37 via the right conveyance path. You.

When the inspection result is an old ticket, the deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12 turns on the plunger solenoid 236, and the accumulation guide 234 moves to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 12 (a) to increase the accumulation width. Once "on", the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 12 maintains the "on" state until the capture process is completed.

On the other hand, when the detector 151 detects that there is no bill in the stacking unit 154, the rotation of the take-in roller 103 is stopped, and the take-in process ends.

Next, when the rejected banknotes A are accumulated in the withdrawal temporary accumulating unit 36, the arm (not shown) moves downward, and the rejected banknotes A are sandwiched between the transport belts 180 and 181 to collectively. And transported to the stacking section 154 [see FIG. 11 (a)].
The rejected banknote A that has been returned to the stacking unit 154 in this manner and is stacked
Is again taken in and conveyed, and a deposit processing is performed.

In this way, after the inserted gold bills A are accumulated, they are counted and collated. That is, among the genuine bills determined by the inspection unit 35, the discrimination number of 10,000 yen banknotes, the discrimination number of 5,000 yen banknotes and the discrimination number of 1,000 yen banknotes, and the passage detector 40i on the transport path to the deposit temporary accumulation unit 37, The respective counts of 40h are collated by the main control unit 450, and counting is guaranteed by double checking.

Then, after the counting and collation as described above, the main control unit 45
0 indicates the number of ticket types and the total deposit amount in the guidance display section 1 of the operation panel section 3.
It is displayed as 0, and prompts the customer to confirm the inserted amount and the number of ticket types. When the customer presses the confirmation button, the deposit is temporarily accepted when the acceptance becomes “OK” after the online communication.
Banknote A is transported to the stacking unit 154 of the banknote take-in / out device 15. That is, the tamping belt of the deposit temporary accumulation section 37
205 is lowered, and the receiving table 220 is retracted below the conveyor belt 214. For this reason, the bills A stacked on the receiving table 220 are conveyed from the accumulating unit 230 while being sandwiched between the timing belt 205 and the conveying belt 214 [see FIG. 13 (C)].

Next, the backup 10
2 and the front panel 101 move to the opposite side of the take-in roller 103, the movable portion 145 of the backup 102 opens outward, and accepts the banknote A transported from the deposit temporary accumulation portion 37 via the discharge roller 127, and accumulates and accumulates the banknote A. Will be integrated.

Further, the take-in roller 103 is rotated to take in the bills A one by one. The taken banknote A is conveyed through the taking conveyance path 38a. At this time, the bill A is a bill passage detector
Capture detection is performed by 40a, and the main control unit 450 counts the number of captures based on the detection signal. When the bill A passes through the inspection unit 35, the “short length”, “long length”, “magnetic pattern matching”, “color separation of transmitted light”, and “decomposition matching of minute parts by reflected light” are performed again. , Etc., a "class type determination", a "true / false determination", and a "good / bad" determination are performed, and the result is transmitted to the main control unit 45.
Supplied to 0. Thereby, main controller 450 counts the inspection result by a counter (not shown). The main controller 45
0 outputs a rejection signal to the deposit / withdrawal mechanism 12 when the banknote A which has been determined to be "false" in the authenticity determination cannot be confirmed as a correct banknote due to heavy take-up, significant skew, or damage. . Thus, when the leading end of the bill suction A reaches the bill passage detector 40j, the seventh sorting gate 39g is rotated leftward. Then, the bill A is accumulated in the 5,000 yen / excluded ticket / collected bill storage unit 22.

On the other hand, in the case of the 5,000-yen banknote A determined to be “true” in the authenticity determination, the main control unit 450 outputs the signal to the depositing / dispensing mechanism 12. As a result, the bills A are sorted by the sorting gate 39g and are stacked in the third safe cassette 18. At this time,
In the safe cassette 18, the flappers 315 and 315 are stored in the storage section 22 (301).
It is held in a closed state protruding inward, and a stacking space 301a is formed above the flappers 315, 315, and the bills A are satisfactorily stacked through the stacking roller 302, the hitting wheel 303, and the stacking stopper 350.

On the other hand, in the case of 1,000 yen bills and 10,000 yen bills,
Stack space 301 for the first and second safe cassettes 16 and 17, respectively.
accumulated in a. During the above integration operation, the passage detectors 40k, 40
m, 40o detection signal, the main control unit 450, 5,000 yen, 1,000 yen,
The number of stacked 10,000-yen bills is counted by a counter (not shown).

On the other hand, when the absence of bills in the stacking unit 154 is detected by the bill presence / absence detector 151, the rotation of the take-in drive motor 104 is stopped, and the take-in process ends.

When the take-in is completed, the banknote storing operation shown in FIG. 22 is performed, and the taken-in banknotes A are locked by the flappers 315, 315 and held in an accumulated state below them (see FIG. 21 (f)).

Next, when a transaction type is selected, when the operation button 8 corresponding to withdrawal is turned on, the main control unit 450 displays a guidance character saying "Press the amount with a button and finally press the yen button." Display with 10. Then, the user enters the amount by operating the operation button 8 according to the guidance. By inputting the amount, the main control unit 450 causes the guidance display unit 10 to display a guide character such as "Press the confirmation button if the amount is acceptable or the correction button if the exchange button is different." By pressing this button, the main controller 45
In the case of “0”, the guidance characters “Communication is in progress. Please wait for a while.” Are displayed on the guidance display unit 10. At this time, the main control unit 450 performs online communication and outputs a withdrawal command to the deposit / withdrawal device 12. This allows the deposit / withdrawal device 12
Takes out the banknotes A corresponding to the above-mentioned amounts from the first and second safe cassettes 16 and 17 and accumulates them in the dispensing temporary accumulating section 36.

That is, from the standby state shown in FIG. 23 (a), the dispensing preparation operation shown in FIG.
23 (d)], and in this state, the banknotes A are sequentially taken out through the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 by the operation of the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305. When the take-out of the number of sheets is completed, the take-out roller 304 stops in a state where the rubber surface 304a does not come out of the transport path surface of the bill A and keeps a position where the rubber surface 304a does not contact the bill A remaining in the storage unit 301 [2nd.
3 (e)]. The banknotes A thus taken out are sorted by the sorting gates 39a, 39b, 39c, 39d, 39e, 39f, 39g, 39h, 39i and are accumulated in the dispensing temporary accumulating section 36. At this time, the banknote A taken out from the first safe cassette 16 for 10,000 yen is detected to be taken out by the banknote passage detector 40n, and the main control unit 450 counts the number of sheets taken out based on the detection signal. The banknote A taken out from the second safe cassette 17 for 1,000 yen is detected by the banknote passage detector 40l, and the main control unit 450 counts the number of sheets to be taken out based on the detection signal. Further, when the extracted banknote A passes through the inspection unit 35, “note type discrimination” and the like are performed, and the result is transmitted to the main control unit 450.
Supplied to Thereby, main controller 450 counts the inspection result by a counter (not shown). Further, the banknotes A to be stacked in the withdrawal temporary stacking section 36 are subjected to stacking detection by the banknote passage detector 40g, and the main control section 45 is detected by the detection signal.
0 is a coefficient of the number of stacked sheets.

Then, when the number of sheets to be taken out by the banknote passage detectors 40n and 40l reaches the set number, the main control unit 450
The removal of the bill A from the second safe cassettes 16 and 17 is terminated. Further, the main control unit 450 performs the number collation based on whether the added number of the 1000-yen banknote and the 10,000-yen banknote according to the inspection result matches the number of stacks.

At this time, the extracted banknote A passes through the inspection unit 35,
Safe cassette 16, 17 corresponding to each ticket by "ticket type identification"
It is reconfirmed that the ticket type has been taken out. In this “ticket type discrimination”, it is not usually necessary to reconsider, but it is best to reconfirm because there is no setting error when the staff sets the shortage.

Regarding the “judgment of damage”, it is determined whether or not the distribution based on the damage is necessary according to the operation mode at the time of payment. In other words, any kind of dirt, tear, cellophane tape-fixed ticket or the like can be accepted as long as the bill type can be determined with the "true" bill. They are stored in a first safe cassette 16 for 10,000 yen and a second safe cassette 17 for 1000 yen for withdrawal, or stored in a third safe cassette 18 for five-yen / excluded / collected bills. In the former case, it is necessary to judge whether the money is paid out, and in the latter case, it is not particularly necessary.

In any case, bad bills must be avoided as bills paid out to customers.

In the case of performing the damage classification control, the damaged paper is an abnormal conveyance ticket with heavy take-up, remarkable skew, and a pitcher error exceeding the specified value that occurred during normal bill removal, and was excluded from being discriminated by the inspection unit 35. As with banknotes, a third safe cassette
Guided to 18 and stored. When a rejected ticket is generated, the sorting gate 39a is rotated to the right, and is collected and stored in the third safe cassette 18 as it is. It is possible to switch to a rejected banknote stacking section for the storage location of the rejected banknotes.

When the rejected banknotes are generated as described above, additional removal is performed to replenish the designated number of sheets.

Thus, the dispensed bills A accumulated in the dispensing temporary accumulating portion 36 are collectively sent out by the mechanism shown in FIG. 11, and are accumulated in the accumulating portion 154 facing the deposit and withdrawal port 7. afterwards,
After the online communication, when the transaction is "permitted", the deposit / withdrawal port 7 is opened, the banknote A is handed over to the customer, and the process ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the bills fed into the stacking space during the stacking operation are prevented from entering the picking up means by the picking up means and the stacking guide member in the nested state, It is possible to accumulate banknotes having curl habits while aligning them, to prevent occurrence of jams and accumulation errors, and to securely store and remove banknotes. In addition, a safe cassette that can operate the stacking stopper guide in conjunction with the movement of the partitioning means, does not require a dedicated drive source, can prevent malfunction, and can securely store and remove bills is provided. This has the effect of providing an automatic transaction device.
