Next, operation procedures of deposit transaction, withdrawal transaction, loading process, and collection process will be described with reference to the drawings.

10 to 13 are schematic side views showing the operation of the conventional example. FIG. 10 is a deposit transaction, FIG. 11 is a withdrawal transaction, FIG. 12 is a safe loading, and FIG. 13 is a safe recovery. It shows the operation.

<Deposit transaction> When the customer presses the deposit transaction key and inserts the card into the card insertion slot or the passbook insertion slot, communication is performed between the device and the center, and it is confirmed that there is no problem. The shutter is opened.

The processing procedure of the deposit / withdrawal device 105 will be described below with reference to FIG.

The banknotes set in the insertion slot 113 are taken into the inside of the apparatus one by one in order from the bottom by the operation of the deposit separation mechanism 115, and sent to the discrimination section 116 through the transport path.

The discriminating unit 116 discriminates the conveyed bills one by one in order, and discriminates whether the bills are genuine or not, whether they are right or wrong, and the front and back of the bills.

The true bill and the bill discriminated as the front face and the bill discriminated as the counterfeit bill by the discrimination unit 116 do not operate the switching gate 122 located at the entrance of the front and back sorting mechanism 117, and pass through the route (a). Go to switching gate 123.

If a bill that has been identified as a counterfeit bill arrives, the switching gate 123
Is activated, the paper is conveyed to the upper side, and the conveyance path 120
This route is conveyed from the rear to the front to reach the discharge port stacking unit 121.

In the outlet stacking unit 121, the conveyed banknotes are stacked in the outlet 114 one by one.

The banknotes accumulated in the outlet 114 are so-called deposit reject banknotes.

On the other hand, if a true bill and a bill discriminated from the front comes,
The switching gate 123 does not operate, and goes to the intermediate unit 111 through the route (C) downward.

In the discrimination section 116, in the case of a bill discriminated from a true bill and the back face, the switching gate 122 located at the entrance of the front and back sorting mechanism 117 is operated and sent to the route of (b),
By passing through the front and back sorting mechanism 117, the front end and the rear end of the bills being conveyed are reversed so that the bills are turned to the front side and sent out to the route of (c) and sent to the intermediate unit 111 through the conveyance path 119.

Both routes are set so that the time for passing the route (a) and the time for passing the route (b) are the same.

In the intermediate unit 111, the banknotes aligned on the surface are conveyed along the conveying path in the direction of the arrow.

Here, when a bill that can be reused as a withdrawal of a 5000-yen bill is conveyed, the 5000-yen ticket sorting gate 139 is activated to send it to the 5000-yen ticket accumulating unit 127, The 1,000-yen tickets are accumulated in the temporary holding section 131.

Similarly, in the case of a bill that can be reused as a withdrawal of a 1,000-yen bill, the 1,000-yen ticket separating gate 138 is activated to activate the 1,000-yen ticket accumulation unit 126.
In the case of banknotes that are sent to and temporarily stored in the 1,000-yen ticket temporary storage section 130 and can be reused for withdrawal of 10,000-yen tickets, the 10,000-yen ticket separating gate 137 is activated to operate the 10,000-yen ticket accumulation section 125. It is sent to and accumulated in the 10,000 yen ticket temporary holding unit 129.

In the case of unfit or non-payable bills (for example, 500-yen bills or bills before reprinting), they are accumulated in the batch / payment temporary holding section 128 as non-circulation target bills.

By the above operation, the deposit counting process of the bills set in the slot 113 is completed.

<Withdrawal transaction> The customer presses the withdrawal transaction key, inserts the card into the card insertion slot, inputs the personal identification number, and the customer inputs, for example, 1
The processing procedure when the amount of money of 1,000 is input will be described below with reference to FIG. 11. First, the take-out separation mechanism 148 is operated to take out one million yen ticket.

The banknotes fed out are conveyed along the conveying paths 151, 14 as shown by the arrows in FIG.
It passes through 1,118 and is sent to the discrimination section 116.

The discriminating unit 116 discriminates whether the bills are the designated bills, and if the bills are the designated bill, the switching gate 123 is operated to feed the bills to the transport path 120, and the bills that have reached the discharge port stacking unit 121 are stacked in the discharge port 114. .

If the discriminating unit 116 does not comply with the designation or discriminates the non-withdrawal ticket, the switching gate 123 is not operated,
The intermediate unit 111 is conveyed to the lower side, conveyed through the conveyance path 119 along the dotted line, and sent from the withdrawal reject bill dropping unit 40 to the reject bill storage 142.

Then, the payout from the 10,000-yen ticket storage 144 is performed again, and the discrimination and accumulation are repeated as many times as necessary.

When the 10,000-yen ticket has been released, one thousand-yen ticket is released from the 1,000-yen storage 145 in the same manner as the 10,000-yen ticket, and the operation of the withdrawal transaction is completed.

<Load Safe> Press the safe load key (not shown)
The end detector 157a of 143 does not detect the end,
That is, it is confirmed that the bills to be loaded are set in advance.

If the end is detected, this process is stopped.
When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the safe loading operation is started.

The operation of the deposit / withdrawal device 105 will be described below with reference to FIG.

Operate the take-out / separation mechanism 147 to collect / collect the deposit 143
The bills set in 1 are fed out one by one from the bottom side, and are fed to the discriminating section 116 through the conveying paths 151, 141, 118 as shown by arrows in FIG.

The discriminating section 116 discriminates the sent banknotes one by one in order for authenticity / damage / front / back, further detects the conveyance state, and sends the bills to the front / back sorting mechanism 117 located at the rear through the conveyance path.

The banknotes discriminated from the surface by the discriminating unit 116 do not operate the switching gate 122 located at the entrance of the front and back sorting mechanism 117, proceed toward the switching gate 123 along the transport path, and do not operate the switching gate 123 either. , Transport it downwards,
The conveyance path 119 leads to the intermediate unit 111.

In the case of a bill discriminated from the back side by the discriminating section 116, the switching gate 122 located at the entrance to the front and back collecting mechanism 117 is operated to send it to the front and back collecting mechanism 117, and the front side is conveyed toward the conveying path 119. Then, it is sent to the intermediate unit 111 by the transport path 119.

In the intermediate unit 111, the banknotes aligned on the surface are conveyed along the conveying path in the direction of the arrow.

Here, when a banknote that can be loaded as a withdrawal with a genuine 5000 yen ticket is conveyed, the 5000 yen ticket dividing gate 139 is activated to send it to the 5000 yen ticket accumulating unit 127, Collected in the 5000 yen temporary holding section 131.

Similarly, in the case of a genuine bill of 1,000 yen bills that can be loaded for withdrawal, the 1,000-yen ticket sorting gate 138 is activated to send it to the 1,000-yen ticket stacking unit 126, and is stacked in the 1,000-yen ticket temporary holding unit 130. However, in the case of bills that can be loaded for withdrawal as genuine 10,000-yen bills, the 10,000-yen ticket dividing gate 137 is activated to send it to the 10,000-yen ticket accumulation unit 125, and to the 10,000-yen ticket temporary holding unit 129. Accumulate.

The above operation is repeated until there are no banknotes set in the batch / payment storage 143.
When any one of 9,130,131 holds the hold limit value (for example, 100), the operation of the take-out separation mechanism 147 is interrupted, the temporary holding unit shutters 133,134,135 are simultaneously opened to the lower side, and Store the banknotes that have been reserved in 144, 145, 146.

When the storing operation is completed and the temporary storage shutters 133, 134, 135 return to the original state, the take-out separation mechanism 147 is operated again and the loading operation is repeated.

When the banknotes in the lump sum / payment storage 143 run out and the end is detected, the take-out separation mechanism 147 stops, and when the last banknote arrives at the temporary holding units 133, 134, 135 of the intermediate unit 111, the transfer operation by the transfer path also stops.

The banknotes in the temporary holding units 133, 134, 135 are stored in the storages 144, 145, 146, and the safe loading operation ends.

There are the following two methods for processing bills that have been discriminated by the discrimination unit 116 as unfit or non-loadable bills (for example, 500-yen bills and bills before reprinting).

The first method is the route (a) shown in FIG. 12, in which the batch / payment separating gate 136 is operated to carry out the batch / payment accumulation section 1
It is sent to 24 and accumulated in the batch / payment temporary holding section 128.
In this case, the operation of the batch / payment temporary holding section shutter 132 is different from the operation of the other temporary holding section shutters 133, 134, 135, and therefore has a different drive source (magnet).

In addition, after the safe loading operation is completed, the batch / deposit storage
It may be stored in 143, or the intermediate unit 111 may be unlocked and guided to the teller for removal.

This method has an advantage that it can be distinguished from a withdrawal reject banknote, and the intermediate unit 111 or the lump / deposit storage 143 can be pulled out and the non-loadable tickets can be counted immediately after the loading process.

The second method is the route (B) shown in FIG. 13, which is sent to the withdrawal reject banknote dropping unit 140 and stored in the reject banknote storage 142.

This method has an advantage that it does not need to be operated until the end of work since it is stored together with the withdrawal reject banknotes.

<Safety Replenishment> When a safe replenishment key (not shown) is pressed and the denomination and the number of replenishments are input, for example, when replenishing 5,000 yen notes, the end detector 157a of the batch / deposit storage 143 detects the end. Check that the bills to be refilled have not been set in advance.

When the end is detected, this process is stopped.
When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the safe refill operation is started.

Hereinafter, the operation of the deposit / withdrawal device 105 is performed in the same manner as the loading.

<Safe deposit collection> When you press the safe deposit key (not shown)
It is confirmed that all 4,145,146 are not end-detected, that is, the bills to be collected are present in any of the denomination-based storages 144, 145, 146.

If all the money type storages have detected the end, this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the storages, the safe collecting operation is started.

The operation of the deposit / withdrawal device 105 will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, the 5,000 yen take-out / separation mechanism 150 is operated to take out the banknotes stored in the 5,000 yen storage 146 one by one in order from the lower side, and as shown by the arrows in FIG. 14, the conveying paths 151, 141, 118.
And is sent to the discrimination section 116.

The discriminating section 116 discriminates the denominations, authenticity, and front and back of the fed banknotes one by one in order, detects the transport state, and sends the bills to the front and back sorting mechanism 117 located in the rear through the transport path.

Note that the bills stored in the respective cash storages 144, 145, and 146 are processed for front and back assembling at the time of storage, so basically, at this time, they are not sent to the front and back assembling mechanism 117, but toward the switching gate 123. The sheet is conveyed, and further, without switching the switching gate 123, the sheet is conveyed downward and is conveyed to the intermediate unit 111 by the conveying path 119.

In the intermediate unit 111, the bills are conveyed along the conveying path in the direction of the arrow as indicated by the solid line, and the batch / payment separation gate 13
6 is activated and sent to the batch / payment collection unit 124
It is accumulated in the temporary deposit holding unit 128.

The depositing / dispensing device 105 repeats the above operation while counting for each denomination, and when the 5000-yen storage 146 detects the end, next, it is withdrawn from the 1000-yen ticket storage 145 and executes the above-mentioned operation.

Further, when the 1,000-yen ticket storage 145 detects the end, it is fed out from the 10,000-yen ticket storage 144 and the same operation is executed.

In this way, the banknotes in each money type storage box are accumulated in the batch / payment storage box 143 in the order of 5,000 yen ticket, 1,000 yen ticket, and 10,000 yen ticket.

When the full detector 154a of the batch / payment storage 143 detects full during the collection operation, the collection operation is interrupted and the information is returned to the control unit 104. The control unit 104 displays this in the blank of the display unit 102 as “collective / payment storage full”,
Instruct to collect the banknotes stored in the lump sum / payment storage.

Use the audit key to open the front door of the lower unit 112,
Pull out the storage rack to the front, pull out the batch / deposited storage, and use the storage key to open the storage door and remove all banknotes.

When the door of the storage is closed and the storage is set by the reverse operation to the above and the lower unit 112 is completely set, the collecting operation is performed again.

Regarding the batch / payment temporary holding section 128, when the holding allowable number (for example, 100 pieces) is reached, the operation of the take-out separation mechanism from the money type storage is interrupted, and the batch / payment temporary holding section shutter 132 is moved to the lower side. Open and store in storage 143.

When the storing operation is completed, the batch / payment temporary holding section shutter 132
When the state returns to the original state, the take-out separation mechanism is operated again and the recovery operation is repeated.

Thus, when the 10,000-yen ticket storage 144 detects the end, the take-out separation mechanism 148 stops, and when the last banknote arrives at the batch / payment temporary holding unit 128, the transfer operation by the transfer path also stops.

Further, the banknotes in the batch / payment temporary holding section 128 are stored in the storage 143, and the safe collecting operation ends.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, the above-described conventional apparatus has the following problems because the collective storage cannot be attached or removed unless it is pulled out together with the denomination-based storage by the lower unit.

In other words, the lump-sum storage is used for storing rejected bills such as non-circulation targets and unfit bills during deposit transactions, so if bills need to be replenished during operation of the device, operation of the device will be suspended. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the batch storage inside the current device with another batch storage containing bills, and then to replace it with the original batch storage again after replenishment of bills. In addition to being extremely poor in performance, it takes a long time to replenish bills, and during that time it is not possible to carry out deposit and withdrawal transactions, which causes a problem that the operation efficiency of the device is significantly reduced.

In addition, when collecting banknotes, the batch storage box currently in the device must be replaced with an empty batch storage box, so that there is a problem that workability at the time of banknote collection is also poor.

Further, as described above, the collective storage is used for storing rejected reject banknotes such as non-circulation targets and unfit notes during the deposit transaction, so the collective storage must always be installed in the device. In addition to bill storage and bill collection, another batch storage is required.
There is also a problem that the batch storage of individual pieces is required, and the efficiency of use of the batch storage is poor.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, has good workability at the time of replenishing and collecting banknotes, can improve the operation efficiency of the device, and has one device per device. It is an object of the present invention to realize a banknote deposit / withdrawal device that requires only using a batch storage.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention sends a bill inserted by a customer to a discriminating means, accepts a bill discriminated as being depositable by the discriminating means, and carries out a deposit transaction, and the discrimination at the time of the deposit transaction. Of the banknotes that the means has identified as receivable, the circulation function that stores the recycle banknotes that are identified as reusable for withdrawal by denomination and stores them in the denomination storage box, and the denomination specified by the customer, Depending on the amount of money, bills are paid out from the denomination-based storage and sent to the discrimination means, and the discrimination means releases the banknotes that have been discriminated by the withdrawal function to the customer to perform a withdrawal transaction, and a batch storage function. Bills of plural denominations are fed out and sent to the discrimination means, based on the denominations discriminated by the discrimination means, loading and replenishment functions for loading and replenishing to each denomination storing box, and feeding out bills from each denomination storing box, Collective storage of banknotes that have passed the discrimination means In a bill depositing / withdrawing apparatus having a collecting function of storing and collecting, a deposit reject bill that stores deposit reject bills that are discriminated as non-reusable among bills that the discriminating means discriminates as depositable at the time of the deposit transaction. A storage unit and a withdrawal reject banknote storage unit for storing the withdrawal reject banknotes that the discrimination means discriminates as incapable of withdrawing during the withdrawal transaction, and the collective storage is
A banknote batch accommodating section for accommodating the banknotes to be loaded and replenished and a banknote to be recovered, and a banknote that has been discriminated as unusable for withdrawal by the discrimination means from among the banknotes delivered from the banknote batch accommodating section at the time of banknote loading and replenishment. As a structure in which a supplementary reject bill storage unit for storing supplementary reject bills is integrally formed, this collective storage is independently and detachably arranged on the maintenance surface of the apparatus.

[Action]

According to the present invention having such a configuration, at the time of loading and replenishing bills, the banknote storage unit in which the banknotes are stored in advance in the banknote batch storage unit is attached to the device, and the denomination safe is loaded and replenished.
At that time, loading that the discrimination means discriminated as unusable for withdrawal,
The replenishment reject bill is stored in the replenishment reject bill storage unit.

When collecting banknotes, an empty batch storage box is attached to the device to store banknotes from the denomination-based safe.

Furthermore, during deposit transactions or withdrawal transactions, regardless of whether or not the batch storage box is attached or detached, the transaction processing is performed by the money-type safe, and at that time, among the banknotes that the discrimination means discriminates that the deposit is possible, it cannot be reused. The received reject banknotes that have been discriminated as or the withdrawal reject banknotes that the discriminating means has determined to be unable to withdraw are stored in the deposited reject banknote storage unit or the dispensed reject storage unit.

Therefore, according to this, the collective storage can be independently attached and detached regardless of the denomination-based safe, and the deposit or withdrawal reject banknotes at the time of deposit and withdrawal transactions can be handled separately from the collective storage. Since it is stored in the deposit or withdrawal reject storage unit, the collective storage does not have to be used for deposit and withdrawal transactions.

Therefore, if it becomes necessary to replenish banknotes during operation of the device, it is possible to attach and detach the batch storage without stopping the operation of the device, and it is not necessary to replace the batch storage. In addition to improving the workability, the bill replenishment can be performed in a short time, and the influence on the deposit / withdrawal transaction is almost eliminated, so that the operation efficiency of the apparatus is improved.

In addition, since it is not necessary to replace the batch storage when collecting banknotes, workability during banknote collection is also improved.

Further, since it is not necessary to always mount the collective storage on the device, one collective storage can be used for bill replenishment and collection, so that the utilization efficiency of the collective storage is improved.

In addition, reject bills that are managed by the banker of the financial institution, that is, bills that are stored in the bill batch storage unit of the batch storage, that is, bills that are loaded, loaded at the time of replenishment, and rejected bills that are replenished are deposits and withdrawals managed by the device. Since it is separated from the deposit or withdrawal reject banknotes at the time of transaction and the loaded and supplemented reject banknotes are stored in the supplementary reject banknote storage unit of the batch storage box, the banknotes of the originator and the device can be strictly managed.

Furthermore, after loading and replenishing banknotes, the batch storage box can be immediately removed, and all banknotes in the batch storage box can be taken out and managed by the original party, so that the original banknotes are unnecessarily stored in the device. The financial efficiency will be improved without the need to do so.

5 to 8 are schematic side views showing the operation of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is a deposit transaction, FIG. 6 is a dispense transaction, FIG. 7 is a replenishing operation, and FIG. The time of collection operation is shown.

<Deposit transaction> When the customer presses the deposit transaction key and inserts the card into the card insertion slot or passbook insertion slot, communication is performed between the device and the center, and it is confirmed that there is no problem. The control unit 7 sends a command for starting the deposit process to CCAD2.

Upon receiving the deposit processing start command, CCAD2 switches to the internal deposit mode and waits for the customer to set the bill.

When it is detected that the customer has set the bill, the customer service shutter 11 is closed, and the information indicating that the deposit port bill is set is added to the status sense command which is periodically transmitted from the control unit 7 (hereinafter, referred to as a response message (hereinafter referred to as a response message). Called a response).

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a deposit count command to instruct counting of the banknotes set in the deposit / withdrawal port.

The processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), after the banknotes are set in the service port 8, the service port shutter 11 is closed, and the service port 8 is separated by a motor (not shown) as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Becomes

Then, the set banknotes are taken into the inside of the apparatus by the separating mechanism 10 one by one and sent to the discriminating unit 13 through the conveying path.

The discriminating section 13 discriminates the conveyed bills in order of authenticity, denomination, and damage, and further detects the conveying state and sends the bills backward.

The bills discriminated as counterfeit bills by the discriminating unit 13 and the bills for which conveyance abnormality is detected are conveyed to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 and accumulated one by one.

The customer service port 8 is set to the receiving position shown in FIG. 4C by a motor (not shown), and the banknotes accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are sent to the service station 8.

The bill sent to the customer service port 8 is a so-called deposit reject bill.

The deposited banknotes that have been discriminated from genuine bills by the discriminating unit 13 are sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 by operating the switching blade 14c.

Here, the 1,000-yen bills are sent to the bill stacking unit 39 by operating the switching blade 14g, and are stacked on the bill temporary storage plate 42. Similarly, the 10,000-yen bills are operated by the switching blade 14h. It is sent to the banknote stacking unit 40 and stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 43.

Banknotes that have been discriminated as unfit banknotes or 5,000 banknotes of non-circulation target denominations cannot be reused for withdrawal, so the switching blade 14i is operated as deposit reject banknotes and sent to the third-class reject banknote stacking unit 30, The bills are accumulated on the temporary holding plate 44.

By the above operation, when the deposit counting process of the banknote set by the customer in the service opening 8 is completed, the CCAD2 returns a response of the deposit counting end to the control unit 7, and as the data, the number of the counted bills for each cash type. Are separately added to the circulation bill and the non-circulation target bill.

Upon receiving this data, the control unit 7 calculates the amount of money and the total amount of money, displays it on a CRT (not shown), and counts and stores this data as a deposit count.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the CRT (not shown) and presses the confirmation button (not shown), CCAD2 retracts the banknote temporary storage plates 42, 43, 44 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 in the direction of arrow J and accumulates them. The deposited banknotes are stored in the denomination-based cassettes 33 and 34 and the third-class reject banknote cassette 29, respectively.

This completes the deposit transaction processing.

<Withdrawal transaction> The customer presses the withdrawal transaction key, inserts the card into the card insertion slot, and inputs the personal identification number.

The control unit 7 sends a command for starting withdrawal processing to CCAD2.

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

For example, if the customer inputs an amount of money of m ten thousand,
First, it is determined whether the end detector 49c of the denomination cassette 34 and the end detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 detect the end.

If either one of them has detected the end, it adds a non-withdrawal information and returns a response.

When the end is not detected, if the instruction for counting the withdrawal is m ten thousand yen bills n thousand yen bills n, the bill separating mechanism 46 is operated and m ten thousand yen bills are fed out from the denomination cassette 34. The bills thus fed are sent to the discriminating section 13 via the conveying path 51 as shown by the arrow in FIG.

The discriminating unit 13 discriminates whether or not the bill is the designated one, and discriminates between the front and back and whether the bill is normal or not, and if it is the designated one, a switching gate.
14d is operated and sent to the front and back collecting mechanism 12, and the switching blade 14a is operated according to the front and back discrimination result in the discrimination unit 13, and the front and back collecting mechanism is prepared by collecting the front and back one by one.
Collect in 12.

In addition, the banknote that is discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 as being incapable of being dispensed due to a conveyance error is a switching blade 14 as a dispensing reject banknote.
The d and 14c are operated to be sent to the second-type reject banknote stacking unit 28 and stacked in the second-class reject banknote cassette 27.

In this way, the payout, discrimination, and accumulation of 10,000-yen notes are repeated until the required number of sheets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12.

After paying out the 10,000-yen ticket, the next is cassette 33 by denomination.
In the same manner, the n pieces of 1,000-yen tickets are delivered.

When the specified number of sheets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the customer service entrance 8
To the receiving position by a motor not shown,
The dispensed banknotes accumulated in the front and back collecting mechanism 12 are sent to the customer service port 8.

The customer service port 8 is set to the withdrawal position by a motor (not shown), the customer service port shutter 11 is opened to pass the bill to the customer, and the customer service port shutter 11 is closed.

When the withdrawal of the designated number of sheets from the control unit 7 is completed, a completion response is returned, and the released denomination and its number are added as the data.

The control unit 7 receives this, counts it as the number of withdrawals, and stores it.

When the customer forgets to take the banknotes in the customer service port 8, the customer service port 8 is taken in and the forgotten banknote is taken in and stored in the storage unit.

This is the end of the withdrawal transaction process.

<Replenishment> When the employee presses the replenishment key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7
Receiving this input, sends a command instructing CCAD2 to start the refill operation.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the replenishment operation, it switches the internal state to the replenishment mode, and confirms that the end detector 25a of the banknote batch storage unit 17 has not detected the end, that is, there is a bill to be refilled. To do.

When the end is detected, the response is returned with the information indicating that the operation is not possible, and this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started.

The operation of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

The replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is operated, and the bills set on the stage 18 are sequentially fed out one by one from the upper side, conveyed as shown by an arrow in FIG. 7, and sent to the discrimination section 13.

In the discrimination section 13, the bills sent in are sequentially denomination, authenticity,
It discriminates whether it is normal or not, and further detects the transport state and sends it out to the rear.

If the bill is a 1,000-yen bill that can be loaded for withdrawal, the switching blade 14g is actuated to send it to the bill stacking unit 39, where it is directly stacked on the stage 36 of the denomination cassette 33.

In the case of bills that can be loaded for withdrawal in the form of genuine 10,000-yen bills, the switching blade 14h is operated to send the bills to the bill stacking unit 40 and directly stack them on the stage 37 of the denomination cassette 34.

This operation is repeated until the banknotes set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects it. However, one of the stages 36 and 37 reaches the stacking allowable value (for example, 100). In that case, the operation of the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette which has reached the stacking allowable value is lowered by the motor (not shown) by the amount corresponding to the stacking allowable value.

When the stage goes down, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is operated again, and the replenishment operation is repeated.

When the banknotes on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 39d detects the end, the replenishment banknote separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and when the last banknote arrives at the stage of the denomination type cassette, the transfer operation by the transfer path is also stopped.

Finally, the stages 36 and 37 of the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 are lowered all at once, the banknotes accumulated on the stages 36 and 37 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33 and 34, and the replenishment operation is completed.

Incidentally, the supplementary reject banknote that is discriminated as withdrawable by the discrimination unit 13 operates the switching blades 14e, 14f,
The bills are sent to the first-type reject bill stacking unit 24 and stacked in the first-type reject bill cassette 23.

In addition, the full detector 4
When 8c and 49c detect full, switching blade 14i
Is sent to the third-type reject banknote stacking unit 30 to be stacked on the stage 38 of the third-class reject banknote cassette 29.

When the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped and the conveying operation by the conveying path 51 is also stopped.

The CCAD2 returns a response of the end of replenishment to the control unit 7, and adds the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination as the data.

With that, the processing of the replenishing operation is completed.

<Loading> Before the start of work, the bank clerk is in charge of the banknote bill storage unit 17
A batch cassette in which banknotes are collectively set on stage 18 of
When 15 is attached to CCAD2 and the loading key of the internal operation unit 6 is pressed, the control unit 7 receives this input and transmits a command instructing the CCAD2 to start the loading operation.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the loading operation, it switches the internal state in the same manner as in the refilling mode and performs the loading operation similar to the refilling operation.

<Recovery> When the employee presses the recovery key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7
Receiving this input, sends a command to CCAD2 to start the collection operation.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the collecting operation, it switches the internal state to the collecting mode and all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29 have not detected the end, that is, the banknotes to be collected are money. It is confirmed that the cassette exists in one of the type cassettes 33 and 34 and the type 3 reject banknote cassette 29.

When all of the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 have detected the end, the information indicating inoperability is added, the response is returned, and this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the cassettes, the recovery operation is started.

The operation of CCAD2 will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, the banknote separating mechanism 47 is operated to take out the banknotes stored in the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 one by one in order from the upper side, and the discrimination section is passed through the transport path as shown by the arrow in FIG.
Send to 13.

The discrimination unit 13 sequentially discriminates the bills sent in, discriminates the authenticity, detects the traveling state, and sends the bills backward.

The banknotes in which the overrun or skew is detected by the discrimination unit 13 are sent to the first-type reject banknote cassette 23 by operating the switching blades 14e and 14f.

As a result of the discrimination, normal banknotes are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21 and sequentially stacked on the stage 18.

This operation is repeated until the banknotes set in the type 3 reject banknote cassette 29 are exhausted.
When the number of stacked 18 sheets reaches the stacking allowable value (for example, 100 sheets), the operation of the bill separating mechanism 47 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette which has reached the stacking allowable value is equivalent to the stacking allowable value by a motor not shown. Lower.

When the stage goes down, the bill separating mechanism 47 is operated again, and the collecting operation is repeated.

When the end detector 50a of the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 detects the end, the stored banknotes are fed out from the denomination type cassettes 34, 34.

If the result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 13 is overrun or skew, the switching blades 14e and 14f are actuated to send it to the first-type reject bill storage unit 23.

As a result of the discrimination, normal banknotes are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21 and sequentially stacked on the stage 18.

When the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, next, the stored bills are paid out from the denomination cassette 33.

Thus, the banknotes of the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 and the banknotes of the denomination cassettes 34 and 33 are collected and collected on the stage 19 of the banknote batch storing unit 17 in the order of the reject banknote, the 10,000-yen note, and the 1,000-yen note.

When the full detector 25c of the banknote batch storage unit 17 detects full, the collection operation is interrupted and the information is returned to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 displays "collective cassette full" on the display unit (not shown) to instruct the withdrawal of the banknotes stored in the banknote batch storage unit 17.

According to this instruction, the bank clerk opens the door 52 on the rear surface of the CCAD2, extracts the batch cassette 15, and uses the inspection key to open the batch cassette door and take out all the banknotes in the banknote batch storage unit 17.

When the batch cassette door is closed, the batch cassette 15 is set by the reverse operation to the above, and the door 52 is closed, the collecting operation is performed again.

As described above, the collecting operation is performed until the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 and the denomination-type cassettes 34 and 33 all detect the end, and when the last banknote arrives at the banknote batch storage unit 17, the banknote is conveyed by the conveyance path 51. The operation also stops and the collection operation ends.

The CCAD2, which has completed the above processing, returns a response indicating that collection has been completed, and adds the number of collected sheets for each denomination as the data.

In response to this, the control unit 7 counts and stores the number of collected sheets.

With that, the process of the collecting operation is completed.

Each processing described above is performed in the following processing procedure in actual operation.

Prior to the start of business, the banknote batch processing section of the batch cassette 15
Banknotes are collectively stored in 17 and are loaded into each denomination-type cassette by performing a loading process.

After entering the business, we carry out deposit transactions, withdrawal transactions, etc. at any time,
If the denomination cassette is near end or end, take out the batch cassette 15 from CCAD2, set the missing banknotes in the batch cassette 15, and then set the batch cassette 15 to CCAD2.
Set to to enable withdrawal transaction business to continue by replenishment processing.

When it is necessary to take out the batch cassette 15 in the above-mentioned filling / replenishing / collecting process, the door on the maintenance side of the automatic teller machine 1 is opened and the CC is left attached.
From the maintenance side of AD2, only the cassette 15 is pulled out to perform maintenance management.

Further, while the deposit transaction or the withdrawal transaction is being performed, the circulation reject banknote is the third-class reject banknote cassette 29.
Since the withdrawal reject banknotes are stored in the second-class reject banknote cassette 27, the replenishment / recovery unit 19 and the collective cassette 15 do not function at all.

Therefore, even if the batch cassette 15 is pulled out from the operating CCAD2, no inconvenience occurs in transaction processing.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention is a banknote deposit / withdrawal device having a deposit transaction function, a circulation function, a dispense transaction function, and a collection function, among the banknotes that the discrimination means has discriminated as depositable during the deposit transaction. A deposit reject banknote storage unit that stores the reject reject banknotes that have been identified as unusable, and a withdrawal reject banknote storage unit that stores the withdrawal reject banknotes that the identification means has determined to be incapable of withdrawing during withdrawal transactions In addition, the batch storage box includes a banknote batch storage section for storing the banknotes to be loaded and replenished and a banknote to be collected, and a banknote fed out from the banknote batch storage section at the time of loading and refilling the banknotes.
As a structure in which the discriminating means discriminates that the bill cannot be used for withdrawal, and a replenishment reject bill storage unit for storing replenishment reject bills is integrally formed, this collective storage is independently and detachably arranged on the maintenance surface of the device. It has been configured.

Therefore, according to this, the collective storage can be independently attached and detached regardless of the denomination-based safe, and the deposit or withdrawal reject banknotes at the time of deposit and withdrawal transactions can be handled separately from the collective storage. Since it is stored in the deposit or withdrawal reject storage unit, the collective storage does not have to be used for deposit and withdrawal transactions.

Therefore, if it becomes necessary to replenish banknotes during operation of the device, it is possible to attach and detach the batch storage without stopping the operation of the device, and there is no need to replace it with the batch storage. In addition to improving the workability, the bill replenishment can be performed in a short time and the influence on the deposit / withdrawal transaction is almost eliminated, so that the operation efficiency of the device is improved.

In addition, since there is no need to replace the batch storage when collecting banknotes, the workability during banknote recovery can be improved.

In addition, since it is not necessary to always install the collective storage in the device, it is possible to handle bill replenishment and collection with one collective storage, so that there is an effect that the utilization efficiency of the collective storage is improved. .

In addition, reject bills that are managed by the banker of the financial institution, that is, bills that are stored in the banknote batch storage unit of the batch storage, that is, bills that are loaded, loaded during replenishment, and rejected bills that are refilled Separately from the deposit or withdrawal reject banknotes at the time of transaction, and the loading and refilling reject banknotes are stored in the refilling reject banknote storage unit in the batch storage box, so that the banknotes of the originator and the device can be strictly managed. The effect is also obtained.

Furthermore, after loading and replenishing banknotes, the batch storage box can be immediately removed, and all banknotes in the batch storage box can be taken out and managed by the original party, so that the original banknotes are unnecessarily stored in the device. It is also possible to obtain the effect that the financial efficiency is improved.
