3, 74, 75, and 76.

Note that banknotes 2 of a predetermined denomination conveyed through the third conveyance path 10 are guided by a distribution plate 77 to impellers 27 of each accumulator 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, and 24.

The operation of the circulating deposit/withdrawal device 1 configured as described above will be described below.

When a customer opens the lid 15, inserts a bundle of banknotes 2 for deposit into the receiving chamber 16 through the receiving opening 14, and then closes the lid 15, a well-known detector (not shown) detects the banknotes 2. Detects and circulates deposit/withdrawal device 1
starts operating.

The banknotes 2 in the receiving chamber 16 are taken out by a roller 17.
The sheets are taken out one by one at predetermined intervals and conveyed to the detection section 4 through the first conveyance path 8, and the shape is detected by the regular shape detector 20 of this detection section 4.

If the detected shape of the banknote 2 is a predetermined one, the banknote 2 is conveyed to the discrimination unit 5 by the second conveyance path 9, and the authenticity and denomination of the banknote 2 are determined by the first discriminator 21 of the discrimination unit 5. It is determined.

When the determined banknote 2 is of a predetermined denomination, the banknote 2 is conveyed by the third conveyance path 10, and is transferred to the accumulators 23a, 23b, 23c of the predetermined denomination by a sorting plate 77 provided in the middle of the conveyance. , 23d or the accumulator 24, and are neatly stacked on the pool plate 26 by the impeller 27.

If the discriminated banknote 2 is of a denomination other than the predetermined denomination, the banknote 2 is sorted by the sorting plate 68 to the fourth conveyance path 11, and conveyed again to the discrimination section 5 by the fourth conveyance path 11, where the banknote 2 is Authenticity and denomination are again determined by the first sorter 21.

If the banknote 2 that has been determined again is of the predetermined denomination, the accumulators 23a, 23b, 23
c, 23d, and 24 respectively and are guided to the pool board 2.
7 is properly stacked on top. If the result of the second judgment is still a denomination other than the predetermined denomination, the banknote 2 is conveyed to the discharge section 7 by the fourth conveyance path 11,
The distributing plate 45 distributes the liquid to belts 44a and 44b, and the belts 44a and 44b transport the liquid to a discharge tray 47 that is already waiting at a first discharge position 49. This discharge tray 47 is the discharge port 46.
The product is then returned to the customer.

Further, if the shape of the banknote 2 detected by the above-mentioned detection unit 4 is other than the predetermined shape, the banknote 2 is distributed to the fifth conveyance path 12 by the distribution plate 71,
It is transported to the discharge section 7 by the fifth transport path 12 and the third transport path 10. The banknotes 2 conveyed to the discharge section 7 are distributed to the belts 43a, 43b by the distribution plate 45, and the belts 43a, 43b move the banknotes 2 to the impeller 50.
transported to. and already in the second ejection position 49
It is neatly stacked on the discharge tray 47 located at. The discharge tray 47 is then moved up to the discharge port 46 and returned to the customer.

The banknotes 2 of a predetermined denomination neatly stacked on the pool board 27 can be pressed by the customer using a return button (not shown).
When a return is requested, the pool plate 27 swings upward, and the stacked banknotes 2 are taken out by the return take-out roller 31 provided above, and are transferred by the belts 32, 33 and the third conveyance path 10. It is transported to the discharge section 7. The banknotes 2 conveyed to the discharge section 7 are distributed to the belts 44a, 44b by the distribution plate 45, and returned to the customer through the process described above.

When the deposit is completed, the banknotes 2 of the predetermined denomination neatly stacked on the pool board 27 are deposited on the pool board 27.
is guided by vertical guide rails 30, 30 and descends. This descent stops when the switch 38 detects the bottom of the storage tube 25 or the top of the stored banknotes. The pool board 27 is then guided by the horizontal guide rail 29 and removed from the storage cylinder 25, and the banknotes 2 on the pool board 27 are stored in the storage cylinder 25. When this operation is completed, the pool plate 27 returns to the upper part of the storage tube 25 again.

Then, the deposit operation of the circulating deposit/withdrawal device 1 ends.

When a customer inputs a withdrawal request into the circulating deposit/withdrawal device 1, the circulating deposit/withdrawal device 1
The operation of taking out the banknotes 2 stored in the bank according to the requested amount is started.

The banknotes 2 stored in the storage cylinder 25 are taken out one by one at predetermined intervals by a payment takeout roller 39, guided by a guide (not shown), and then conveyed to the sixth conveyance path 13 by belts 40a, 40b. At this time, the number of bills 2 taken out is counted by a detector 41 provided in the middle of the belts 40a, 40b, and an abnormality such as taking out two bills or taking out a chain is detected.

The taken out banknotes 2 are transferred to the discriminator 5 through the sixth conveyance path.
The denomination is determined by the second discriminator 22 of the discriminator 5.

If the determined denomination is a predetermined denomination, the banknote 2 is conveyed to the discharge section 7 by the third conveyance path 10, and is distributed to the belts 44a, 44b by the distribution plate 45.
The discharge tray 47 is already waiting at the discharge position 49 of
transported to.

If the determined denomination is a denomination other than the predetermined denomination, the bill 2 is sorted to the accumulator 24 by the sorting plate 77 while being conveyed through the third conveyance path 10, and then transferred to the storage tube 25 of the accumulator 24. It will be stored.

In addition, even if the removed banknotes 2 are taken out in duplicate or in a chain, the banknotes are transferred to the accumulator 2 in the above process.
It is stored in the storage cylinder 25 of No. 4.

The above-mentioned operation is continued until the total amount of banknotes 2 of each denomination transferred to the discharge tray becomes equal to the amount requested by the customer. When the amounts become the same, taking out the banknotes 2 stored in the storage tube 25 is stopped.

This causes the discharge tray to start rising and discharge the amount requested by the customer from its discharge port 46.
Then, the operation of the circulating deposit/withdrawal device 1 is stopped.

Note that although the circulating deposit/withdrawal device 1 in one embodiment uses a horizontal stacking type for banknotes, for example,
Other formats such as the vertical stack type described in Publication No. 73935 may also be used.

The first discriminator for inspecting deposited banknotes may be provided at the position of the second discriminator for inspecting disbursed banknotes, and one discriminator may be used for both inspections. At this time, only one discriminator is required, so it is economical.

Only banknotes of denominations other than the predetermined denominations may be collected, or all banknotes temporarily pooled may be collected.
