Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out device installed in a financial institution such as a bank. The present invention relates to a recirculating banknote pay-in / pay-out device.

[Conventional technology]

In a financial institution such as a bank, an automatic transaction device equipped with a deposit / withdrawal device that performs deposit / withdrawal processing of bills (cash) for customers is installed at a store or the like, which greatly contributes to improvement of transaction processing.

In recent years, as such a cash-receipt-and-disbursement device, a recirculation-type cash-receipt-and-disbursement device integrating a depositing function and a dispensing function has been put into practical use, and the processing of a depositing and dispensing transaction is performed as follows.

First, in the case of a deposit transaction, bills batch-input by the customer from the deposit port are separated one by one and conveyed to the discriminating section, and the discriminating section discriminates the authenticity, denomination, damage, etc. of the banknotes, and , 2
Detects and counts the presence or absence of abnormal conveyance such as double conveyance, chaining, and skew.

Here, the banknote discriminated from the counterfeit note, the banknote whose denomination is unknown, or the banknote in which abnormal conveyance is detected are sent to a dispensing port provided separately from or integrated with the depositing port and returned to the customer.

On the other hand, a bill discriminated from a genuine bill and abnormal transport is not detected, based on the denomination discrimination result and the damage discrimination result, a recycle banknote to be used for a withdrawal transaction, and is not used for a withdrawal transaction. It is divided into non-returnable banknotes, and the recycled banknotes are sorted by denomination into a temporary holding unit corresponding to a denomination storage provided for each denomination handling denomination (for example, 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen). The non-recycled banknotes are collected and collectively stored in a temporary storage unit corresponding to the deposit-only storage.

The non-refundable banknote not used in the withdrawal transaction is, for example, 500 yen that is not a recycle target if the device withdraws three kinds of banknotes of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, and 5,000 yen as described above. It is a banknote that has been discriminated from a yen banknote as an unfit unfit for dispensing.

When all the genuine bills are accumulated in each of the temporary holding units, the amount of money that can be deposited, that is, the total amount of genuine bills is displayed on a display means such as a CRT provided in the automatic transaction device, and the customer displays this. When confirmed, the recirculated banknotes are stored in the denomination storage, and in the non-recycled banknote deposit storage.

Next, in the case of the withdrawal transaction, when the customer specifies and inputs the data of the denomination and the amount of money to be paid by the input means comprising various keys provided in the automatic transaction apparatus, the denomination is stored accordingly. Banknotes are sequentially fed out of the storage and conveyed to the discrimination section, where discrimination, detection, and counting are performed in the same manner as in the payment transaction.

As a result, banknotes of different denominations and banknotes in which abnormal transport was detected are stored in the reject storage as rejected banknotes, but only banknotes of the specified denomination and in which abnormal transport was not detected are counted and dispensed. When the bills are conveyed to the mouth and accumulated, and the banknotes of the denomination and the amount designated by the customer are prepared, the bills are collectively paid to the customer from the dispensing port.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional banknote pay-in / pay-out device,
As described above, at the time of the deposit transaction, a non-return banknote not used for the withdrawal transaction is temporarily stored separately from the recycle banknote used for the withdrawal transaction, and thereafter, a dedicated deposit unit for storing the non-recycle banknote. Since the storages and the associated mechanisms are provided, there is a problem that the size of the apparatus is increased, the configuration is complicated, and the cost is high.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and aims to reduce the size, simplify the configuration, and reduce the price by omitting a temporary holding section dedicated to non-return bills, a storage dedicated to depositing money, and the like. It is an object of the present invention to realize a banknote pay-in / pay-out device that can perform the above operations.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a deposit processing function of storing, in a denomination storage, a banknote that has been discriminated from a genuine bill that can be deposited by a discriminating unit, among banknotes inserted by a customer, and According to the denomination and the amount of money, the banknote is fed out from the above-mentioned denomination storage, the discriminating unit counts, and has a dispensing function for paying to the customer. At the time of dispensing transaction, abnormal conveyance such as double conveyance is detected. In a recirculating banknote pay-in / pay-out device provided with a reject storage for collecting collected banknotes, the banknotes for temporarily accumulating and holding the banknotes that have been discriminated from genuine bills that can be deposited by the discrimination unit during a deposit transaction. One to one for each type of storage
A temporary holding unit provided to correspond to the above, and at the time of a deposit transaction, the banknotes discriminated from the genuine bill by the discrimination unit are held in the respective temporary holding units by denomination, and the banknotes discriminated from the genuine bill. Of the denominations denominated banknotes that are not used for withdrawal transactions are held in the temporary storage unit corresponding to the predetermined denomination storage of the denomination storage, and thereafter, when confirmation by the customer is performed The banknotes of the respective temporary holding units are stored in the respective denomination storages, and at the time of withdrawal transaction, the banknotes identified as genuine and applicable by the discriminating unit are withdrawn to the customer as recycle banknotes. And a bill processing control unit for controlling the banknotes discriminated from the denomination-target denominated banknotes to be stored in the reject storage as non-recycled banknotes.

(Operation)

The present invention having the above-described configuration, at the time of the deposit transaction, while holding the banknotes discriminated as genuine bills in the discriminating unit in each temporary holding unit by denomination, and in the withdrawal transaction among the banknotes discriminated from the genuine bills The banknotes of the denominated non-returnable denominations are held in a temporary holding unit corresponding to a predetermined denomination storage among the denomination storages, and thereafter, when the customer confirms, the bills in each of the temporary storage units are stored. Is controlled by the banknote processing control means so as to be stored in each of the denomination storages.

At the time of the withdrawal transaction, the banknotes discriminated by the discriminating unit as being genuine and applicable are denominated to the customer as recirculated banknotes, and the banknotes discriminated from non-returnable denominations are non-recycled banknotes. The bill processing control means controls the bill processing control means to store the bill in the reject storage.

Therefore, according to this, it is possible to dispense with a dedicated temporary holding unit for temporarily holding the non-recycled bill separately from the recirculated bill, and a dedicated depository for storing the non-recycled bill thereafter and a mechanism attached thereto. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size and the configuration of the apparatus and to reduce the cost.

In the batch storage section 17 of the batch cassette 15, banknotes of respective denominations required for transactions in the original form, that is, 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen notes are collectively stored in predetermined batches. .

After setting, the staff closes the door 52 of CCAD2, and the internal operation unit 6
A bill loading instruction is input using the operation keys of.

Upon receiving this input, the control unit 7 sends a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the loading operation. When the CCAD 2 receives the command for starting the loading operation, the CCAD 2 switches the internal state to the loading mode, and It is confirmed that the end detector 25a has not detected the end, that is, that the banknote to be loaded is stored in the collective storage unit 17.

Here, if the end is detected, a response is returned with the inoperable data added, and this process is stopped.However, if it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the CCAD 2 enters the stage of the denomination cassette 33 to 35. The banknote loading operation is started by raising 36 to 38 to a predetermined position.

 Hereinafter, the operation of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

The bill feeding section 22 is operated to separate the bills stacked on the stage 18 one by one from the top and feed them out. Then, the bills are transported by the transport path 51 as shown by arrows in FIG.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates the sent bills sequentially for authenticity, denomination, and damage, detects the presence or absence of abnormal conveyance, and sends the bills backward.

Of the banknotes sent out, the banknotes that can be loaded for withdrawal with a 1,000 yen note are sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 39 by operating the switching blade 14h, and the stage of the banknote cassette 33
Accumulate directly on 36.

Similarly, banknotes that can be loaded for withdrawal with a 5,000 yen ticket are sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 40 by operating the switching blade 14i, directly stacked on the stage 37 of the denomination cassette 34, and further with a 10,000 yen ticket for withdrawal. The banknotes that can be loaded as are sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 41 by operating the switching blade 14j, and are directly stacked on the stage 38 of the denomination cassette 35.

This operation is repeated until the bills set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects them, but the number of stacked sheets of any one of the stages 36, 37, and 38 reaches the hold allowable value (for example, 100). In this case, the operation of the bill feeding section 22 is interrupted, the stage of the cassette that has reached the hold allowance is lowered by a motor (not shown) corresponding to the hold allowance, and when the stage is lowered, the bill is lowered. The feeding unit 22 is operated again to repeat the bill loading operation.

The bills on stage 18 of batch cassette 15 are gone,
When the end detector 25a detects the end, the bill feeding unit 22
Is stopped, and when the last banknote arrives at the denomination cassette, the transport operation by the transport path 51 also stops.

Finally, stages 36,37,38 of cassettes 33,34,35 by denomination
All at once, and the bills accumulated on the stages 36, 37, 38 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35, and the bill loading operation ends.

Note that the bill discriminated from the denomination by the identification unit 13 or the bill that has been detected as being abnormally transported is replaced by the switching blade 14.
Activate d, 14f to load / replenish reject banknote stacking unit 24
And loaded in the loading / replenishment reject banknote storage unit 23.

In addition, when all of the full detectors 48c, 49c, 50c of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 detect full during the bill loading operation, the switching blades 14d, 14e are operated to cause the collected bill stacking unit 21 to operate. It is fed and collected on the partition plate 19.

Then, the banknote pay-out section 22 of the batch cassette is stopped, and when all the banknotes on the transport path 51 are accumulated on the partition plate 19, the transport operation by the transport path 51 also stops, and the loading operation ends.

The CCAD 2 adds the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination to the response of the bill loading end and returns it to the control unit 7, and the control unit 7 stores the counted number data of the denomination in a predetermined storage unit.

In addition, since the processing result of the bill loading is displayed to the attendant by the display unit of the internal operation unit 6, the attendant confirms the completion of the loading, and closes the rear door 1a to check that the transaction is possible with the customer. I do.

<Payment Transaction> When the customer presses the receipt transaction key of the customer operation display section 5 and inserts a card (not shown) into the card insertion slot or the passbook insertion slot, the control section 7 of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 and the center (not shown) are connected. When predetermined communication is performed between the devices and it is confirmed that the transaction is possible, the control unit 7 transmits a command for starting a deposit processing to the CCAD 2.

Upon receiving the deposit processing start command, the CCAD 2 switches the internal state to the deposit mode, and the shutter 11 shown in FIG.
And waits for the customer to set the bill between the bill guides 9 of the customer service section 8.

At this time, the bill guide 9 is in the deposit / withdrawal position shown in FIG. 5 (a), and the bill temporary holding plates 42 to 44 are located immediately above the denomination cassettes 33 to 35, respectively.

When the customer sets a bill and the bill is detected by a sensor (not shown), the shutter 11 is closed, and data indicating that the bill is present is returned to the state sense command periodically transmitted from the control unit 7 and a response is returned. I do.

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a CCAD2 deposit counting command to instruct the counting of the bills set between the bill guides 9.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

The customer service section 8 is driven by a motor not shown in FIG.
Then, the bills between the bill guides 9 are sent one by one into the transport path 51 by the separation mechanism 10 and sequentially transported to the discriminating section 13 by the transport path 51.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates the authenticity and denomination of the conveyed banknotes, detects the presence or absence of abnormal conveyance, and sends the banknotes backward.

The bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 from the genuine bill is sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 by operating the switching blade 14c.

Of the banknotes sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53, the one-thousand-yen note is sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 39 by operating the switching blade 14h, and is stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 42.

Similarly, the 5,000 yen note is sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 40 by operating the switching blade 14i, and is stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 43.

In addition, banknotes of denominations that are not eligible for recycle (for example, five hundred yen notes)
It is accumulated together with the 5,000-yen ticket, which is the least used in the withdrawal transaction described later. Therefore, the banknotes of the denomination subject to recirculation are also sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 40 by operating the switching blade 14i, and are stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 43.

Further, the ten-thousand-yen note is sent to the banknote stacking mechanism 41 by operating the switching blade 14j, and is stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 44.

On the other hand, bills discriminated from counterfeit bills or bills in which abnormal conveyance has been detected are conveyed to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 by the conveyance path 51 and are stacked one by one.

At this time, the customer service unit 8 is changed to the receiving position shown in FIG. 5C by a motor (not shown) and is on standby. When the deposit counting process of the bills set by the customer between the bill guides 9 of the customer service unit 8 is completed. Then, the bills accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are fed between the bill guides 9 of the customer service section 8.

Then, the customer service opening 8 is returned to the deposit / withdrawal position, the shutter 11 is opened, and the bill between the bill guides 9 is returned to the customer, and then the shutter 11 is closed.

After that, the CCAD 2 returns the response of the payment counting end to the control unit 7 with the number data counted for each denomination added.

The control unit 7 receives this data, calculates the amount of the denomination and the total amount, displays the amount on the display unit of the customer operation display unit 5, counts this data as a deposit count, and stores it in the RAM 84 shown in FIG. Remember.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the display unit and presses a confirmation key on the customer operation display unit 5, the CCAD 2 controls the control unit 7.
, The banknote temporary holding plates 42, 43, 44 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 are simultaneously retracted in the direction of arrow J, and the banknotes accumulated on the banknote temporary holding plates 42, 43, 44 are They are stored in the type cassettes 33, 34, 35, respectively.

Then, the card and the passbook on which the details of the transaction are printed are returned to the customer, and the processing of the deposit transaction is terminated.

When a transaction is made using only a card, a receipt on which the details of the transaction are printed is issued.

<Withdrawal Transaction> After the customer presses the withdrawal transaction key on the customer operation display unit 5, inserts the card into the card slot, and enters a password, a predetermined communication between the control unit 7 and the center is established. When it is confirmed that the transaction is possible, the control unit 7 sends a command for starting the dispensing process to the CCAD 2.

When CCAD2 receives the command for starting the dispensing process, it switches the internal state to the dispensing mode and waits for the instruction of the denomination and the number of bills to be dispensed.

Here, when the customer inputs, for example, 59,000, an end detector 48 of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 first.
Check whether c, 49c, 50c has detected the end.

At this time, if any one of the end detectors 48c, 49c, and 50c has detected the end, the CCAD 2 returns a response to the control unit 7 by adding data indicating that withdrawal is impossible, thereby 7 displays a message indicating that transaction is not possible on the display unit of the customer operation display unit 5, and returns the card to the customer to stop the transaction.

Then, a notifying unit (not shown) prompts the attendant to replenish the missing bill. The replenishment of the bill will be described later.

However, if only the end detector 48c of the denomination cassette 34 for the 5,000-yen ticket detects the end in the above-mentioned end detection, it is possible to pay out with the 1,000-yen ticket.

If the above-mentioned end detection does not apply, a dispensing process is performed.

 Hereinafter, this dispensing processing operation will be described with reference to FIG.

First, CCAD2 is sent from the control unit 7 based on the customer's input.
With instructions for withdrawal counting, 5 10,000 yen coupons, 5000 yen coupons 1
When data designating four sheets and four thousand yen notes is sent, the bill separating mechanism 47 is activated and five five-yen notes are paid out from the denomination cassette 35, and the fed-out bills are indicated by arrows in FIG. As shown, the sheet is conveyed to the discrimination unit 13 by the conveyance path 51.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates the denomination, front and back, and damage, and detects the presence or absence of abnormal transport. If no abnormal transport is detected for the genuine denomination of the denomination as specified, the switching gate 14c is operated, and the transport path is performed. It is transported to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 by 51.

Then, the switching blade 14a is operated based on the result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 13 to collect the front and back one by one, and is integrated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12.

On the other hand, the bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 from the damaged bill is sent to the reject bill stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 16 by operating the switching blades 14c and 14g as a non-recycled bill, and is accumulated in the reject bill storing unit 28.

In addition, the bills detected as abnormal conveyance by the discrimination unit 13 are rejected bills in the same manner as described above with the switching blades 14c and 14c.
g is actuated and sent to the reject banknote stacking unit 30 of the reject cassette 16 to be stacked in the reject banknote storage unit 28.

In this manner, the dispensing, discrimination and accumulation of the ten thousand yen ticket are repeated until the required number of sheets is accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12.

When the required number (five in this example) of ten thousand yen notes is accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, then the bill separating mechanism 46 is operated to feed out one 5,000 yen note from the denomination cassette 34, and It is conveyed to the discriminating unit 13 in the same manner as the ten thousand yen ticket, and the same processing is performed. However, as described in the deposit transaction, the denomination-specific cassette 34 stores a five-hundred-yen note that is not a recycle target. Therefore, when a five-hundred-yen note is paid out, the five-hundred-yen note is also converted to a non-return bill. And is accumulated in the reject bill storage unit 28.

Then, when the required number of 5,000 yen tickets (one in this example) is accumulated in the front and back assortment mechanism 12, then the denomination cassette
A similar processing is performed by dispensing a 1,000-yen ticket from 33.

When the designated denomination and designated number of bills are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the customer service section 8 is changed to a receiving position by a motor (not shown), and the bills and transaction contents accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are printed. The received receipt is sent between the bill guides 9 of the customer service section 8.

Thereafter, the customer service section 8 is changed to a deposit / withdrawal position by a motor (not shown), the shutter 11 is opened, a bill is paid to the customer together with the receipt, and the shutter 11 is closed.

Then, the card is returned to the customer, and the processing of the withdrawal transaction ends.

When the dispensing process is completed in this way, the CCAD 2 responds to the process completion response with data on the dispensing type and the number of the dispensed money and the rejected bill storage unit of the reject cassette 16 as a non-recycled bill.
Data of the denominations and non-returnable bills accumulated in 28 and the number of denominations are added back to the control unit 7, and the control unit 7 receives the data and counts them as a withdrawal count and a reject count. It is stored in a predetermined storage unit (not shown).

If the customer forgets to take the bill, the separating mechanism 10
The forgotten banknotes are re-separated and sent one by one to the transport path 51, and further, the switching blades 14c, 14d, 14g are operated, and are sent to the forgotten banknote stacking unit 29 of the reject cassette 16 to be forgotten. To accumulate.

<Bill replenishment> The end is detected by the end detector 48a, 49a, 50a provided in CCAD2, or the near-end detector 48b, 4
The near end is detected by 9,50b, and based on this, when the clerk is notified from the automatic transaction apparatus 1 to replenish bills, the clerk replenishes bills.

This banknote replenishment processing operation is performed in the same manner as the banknote loading operation described with reference to FIG. 7, and therefore the description of the replenishment processing operation itself is omitted here. , Or 35 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

First, in FIG. 7, when the full detectors 48c, 49, and 50c of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 detect the full state, the bills that have been separated and fed one by one by the bill feeding unit 22 and passed through the discrimination unit 13 By operating the switching blade 14e, it is sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21, and is stacked on the partition plate 19.

At this time, the discriminating unit 13 counts the banknotes stacked on the partition plate 19 and sets a predetermined stacking allowable value (for example, 100 sheets).
Is reached, the bill feeding unit 22 is stopped once.

Next, the clamp lever 20 is rotated by a motor (not shown) so as to close from the position A to the position B, and the bills accumulated on the partition plate 19 are clamped.

Next, the bill is lifted by raising the clamp lever 20 from the position B to the position C by the motor.

As a result, the banknotes can be fed again onto the partition plate 19, so that the banknote payout unit 22 feeds out the banknotes on the stage 18 one by one again, and passes through the discrimination unit 13 until the banknotes reach the accumulation allowable value. It is accumulated on the plate 19.

Then, at the time when the stacking allowable value is reached, the bill feeding unit again
22 is stopped, and the clamp lever 20 at the position C is rotated by the motor so as to be opened by the motor to the position D, so that the bills clamped and lifted as described above Drop on top.

Subsequently, the clamp lever 20 at the position D is lowered by the motor and returned to the position A.
Is rotated so as to close from the position B to the position B, thereby re-clamping the banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 19, and then raising the clamp lever 20 again from the position B to the position C to place it on the partition plate 19. , And the bill is fed by the bill feeding unit 22.

The above operation is repeated until the end detector 25a of the collective storage unit 17 detects the end of the bill.

When the end detector 25a detects the end of the bill, the bill feeding unit 22 is stopped, the clamp lever 20 clamps and lifts the bill to the position C, and the stage 18 is rotated from the position E to the position F by a motor (not shown). Then, the motor is lowered from the F position to the G position by a motor (not shown).

Next, the stage 18 is rotated from the G position to the H position by the motor.

Here, when the clamp lever 20 is rotated and opened from the position C to the position D by the motor, the bills lifted by the clamp lever 20 are placed on the stage 18.

Thereafter, the stage 18 is raised from the H position to the I position (home position) by the motor to lift the bill.

By the above operation, the banknotes fed from the collective storage section 17 can be stored again in the collective storage section 17 via the discrimination section 13.

If necessary, this bill will be used later in the denomination cassette 33,34,
Replenished to 35.

<Bill collection> When a clerk opens the back door 1 of the automatic transaction device 1 and inputs a collection instruction with the operation keys of the internal operation unit 6 at the time of close inspection, the control unit 7 receives this input and starts the collection operation to the CCAD 2. Send the command to instruct.

When CCAD 2 receives the command to start the collection operation, it switches the internal state to the collection mode, and the cassettes 33, 34, 35 for each denomination
Is not detected at the end, that is, it is confirmed that the bill to be collected exists in any of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35.

When all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 have been detected as end, the CCAD 2 adds inoperable data to the response and returns it to the control unit 7, and the process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the denomination cassettes, CCAD2 starts the collecting operation.

Hereinafter, the bill collecting operation will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the banknote separation mechanism 47 is operated, and the denomination cassette 35 is operated.
The bills stored in the banknotes are separated and fed out one by one in order from the upper side, and are conveyed to the discriminating section 13 through the conveying path 51 as shown by arrows in FIG.

The discrimination unit 13 discriminates the denomination of the conveyed banknotes, detects the presence or absence of abnormal conveyance, and sends out the banknotes backward.

Then, the bills detected as abnormal transport by the discrimination section 13 are sent to the reject bill accumulation section 30 by operating the switching blade 14g and are accumulated in the reject bill storage section 28.

As a result of the discrimination, normal bills are sent to the collected bill accumulating section 21 by operating the switching blade 14e, and are sequentially accumulated on the partition plate 19.

This operation is repeated until there are no more banknotes set in the denomination cassette 35.However, if the number of stacked sheets on the partition plate 19 reaches the allowable stacking value in the middle, the operation of the banknote separation mechanism 47 is interrupted and replenished. The operation of FIG. 6 described at the time of operation is performed.

When the end detector 50a of the denomination cassette 35 detects the end, next, the stored banknotes are fed out from the denomination cassette 34 and sequentially stacked on the reject banknote storage unit 28 or the partition plate 19 in the same manner as described above.

Similarly, when the end detector 49a of the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, subsequently, the stored banknotes are paid out from the denomination cassette 33, and the rejected banknote storage unit 28 or the partition plate 19
Accumulate sequentially on top.

In this way, the 100,000-note banknotes in each of the denomination cassettes 35, 34, 33
The 5,000-yen note banknotes and the 1,000-yen note banknotes are sequentially counted and accumulated on the partition plate 19 of the collective storage unit 17.

During the above-mentioned collection operation, the discriminating unit 13 always counts the bills sent to the collective storage unit 17 and when the storage allowable amount is reached,
The collection operation is interrupted, and the counted number data is returned to the control unit 7.

The control unit 7 receives this and displays “Batch cassette full” on the display unit of the internal operation unit 6 to instruct collection of the banknotes stored in the batch cassette.

Note that the allowable storage amount of collected banknotes in the collective storage unit 17 varies depending on the amount of stacked banknotes on the stage 18. Therefore, prior to the banknote collection process, the stage 18 is detected by a detector (not shown).
Of the banknotes on the stage 18 is calculated by the calculating means of the control unit 7.
This is subtracted from the storage amount of the banknote to obtain the storage allowable amount of the collected bills.

When the batch storage unit 17 becomes full, the attendant opens the door 52 on the rear surface of the CCAD 2 to pull out the batch cassette 15, opens the cover of the batch cassette 15 using the audit key, and takes out all the banknotes in the batch storage unit 17.

Then, the lid is closed again, and the batch cassette 15 is
Then, the cassette is again placed in the tray 2, the lid 52 is closed, and the collecting operation is restarted.

As described above, the collecting operation is performed until all of the denomination cassettes 35, 34, and 33 detect the end, and when the last banknote arrives at the collective storage unit 17, the conveying operation by the conveying path 51 is stopped, and the collecting operation is performed. finish.

The CCAD 2 that has completed the above processing adds the counted number data collected for each denomination to the response to the end of collection and returns it to the control unit 7. In response to this, the control unit 7 counts the number of collected items and stores it in a storage (not shown). Store in the department.

When the banknote collection process of CCAD2 is completed as described above, the attendant opens the door 52 of CCAD2, pulls out the batch cassette 15 and the reject cassette 16, and transports them to the original side for closer inspection.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention provides a deposit processing function of storing banknotes discriminated from genuine bills that can be deposited by the discriminating unit in a denomination storage among bills input by a customer, and a denomination designated by the customer. , Bills which are fed out from the denomination storage in accordance with the amount of money, have a dispensing function of counting by the discriminating section and paying to the customer, and detecting abnormal conveyance such as double conveyance during the dispensing transaction. In the recirculation type banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus provided with a reject storage for collecting the bills, the denomination storage is used to temporarily accumulate and hold bills that have been discriminated from genuine bills that can be deposited by the discrimination unit during a deposit transaction. A temporary holding unit provided so as to correspond to the warehouse one-on-one, and at the time of a deposit transaction, a banknote discriminated as a genuine bill by the discriminating unit is held in each of the temporary holding units by denomination, For withdrawal transactions among bills identified as genuine The banknotes of non-returnable denominations that are not used are held in a temporary storage unit corresponding to a predetermined denomination storage among the denomination storages, and thereafter, when confirmation is performed by a customer, each of the temporary storage units is The banknotes are stored in the respective denomination storages, and at the time of withdrawal transaction, the banknotes that have been discriminated by the discriminating unit as genuine and applicable are denominated to the customer as recirculated banknotes, and denominated non-refundable denominations And a bill processing control means for controlling the bills discriminated from the reject storage as non-recirculated bills.

Therefore, according to this, it is possible to dispense with a dedicated temporary holding unit for temporarily holding the non-recycled bill separately from the recirculated bill, and a dedicated depository for storing the non-recycled bill thereafter and a mechanism attached thereto. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size and simplification of the configuration of the device, and also to achieve an effect that the price can be reduced.
