Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a banknote processing device such as a circulation type automatic depositing / dispensing machine and a dispensing machine, and in particular, a banknote stored in advance is fed out to normal / normal The present invention relates to a bill processing apparatus that identifies an abnormality and pays out only a bill that is identified as normal.

[Prior Art] As a bill processing device, for example, one described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-107194 is known. In this banknote handling apparatus, the banknotes stored by denomination are fed out one by one according to denomination, the denomination, authenticity, thickness, chain, etc. are identified by the identification unit, and only the banknotes identified as normal are identified. It is accumulated in the temporary holding section of the payout section, and is paid out after the accumulation of all necessary denominations is completed. On the other hand, a bill in which an abnormality such as falseness, thickness abnormality, or chain abnormality is found in the identification unit is sent to the collection cassette.

In such a banknote handling apparatus, the transport path for transporting the banknotes carried out from the identification section is branched into two in the middle thereof. One of the branched conveyance paths extends to the temporary holding section, and the other extends to the collection cassette. In addition, a switching unit for mechanically switching the transport path is provided at this branch point. Then, by switching the transport path by this switching unit, it is controlled whether the banknote transported from the identification unit is transported to the temporary storage unit or the collection cassette.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the conventional banknote handling apparatus as described above, the banknotes to be transported to the temporary storage unit are transported to the recovery cassette, or the banknotes to be transported to the recovery cassette are transported to the temporary storage unit. It had the drawback of being sometimes.

Such erroneous conveyance occurs, for example, due to an error in the timing when the conveyance path is switched by the above-mentioned switching unit. That is, when the banknotes transported to the temporary holding section and the banknotes transported to the collection cassette are conveyed close to each other, if the timing for switching the transport path at the switching section is misaligned, the normal banknotes are collected together with the abnormal banknotes in the recovery cassette. In some cases, the abnormal bills may be conveyed together with the normal bills to the temporary holding unit.

In addition, erroneous conveyance also occurs when the switching unit does not operate due to a mechanical failure of the switching unit or a failure of the control circuit of the switching unit. In this case, regardless of normal / abnormal,
All the bills will be conveyed to the temporary holding section or the collection cassette.

If such an erroneous conveyance occurs, the bills accumulated in the temporary holding section may be dispensed with an excess or deficiency of the payout amount, which may cause a trouble between the customer and the teller.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the conventional technology, and provides a banknote processing device capable of preventing an excess or deficiency of a payout amount when a banknote is paid out. To aim.

[Means for solving problems]

A banknote processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a storage cassette for storing banknotes, a feeding means for feeding out the banknotes stored in the storage cassette one by one, and an identification means for identifying normality / abnormality of the banknotes fed out by the feeding means. And a transporting unit that transports the banknotes that the identifying unit has identified as normal and accumulates the banknotes in the temporary holding unit, and also transports the banknotes that the identifying unit identifies as abnormal and collects them in the collection cassette. In the banknote processing apparatus, the normal banknote counting unit that counts the number of banknotes that the identifying unit has identified as normal, and the payout banknote counting unit that counts the number of banknotes transported by the transport unit to the temporary holding unit. , After the operation of accumulating the banknotes in the temporary holding section is completed, the count result of the normal banknote counting means and the count result of the payout banknote counting means are compared, and both count results match. If not, the banknotes stored in the temporary holding unit are collected in the collection cassette and the accumulation operation for the temporary holding unit is performed again, and after the accumulation operation, the normal banknote counting means counts the result. The counting result of the payout bill counting means is compared again, and when both counting results do not match again, a control means for prohibiting the bill takeout operation by the feeding means is provided.

[Action]

According to the present invention, the normal banknote counting unit counts the number of banknotes (that is, banknotes to be transported to the temporary storage unit) that the identification unit has identified as normal, and the banknotes transported to the temporary storage unit by the transportation unit ( That is, the number of bills that have actually reached the temporary holding unit) can be counted by the payout bill counting unit, and the counting results of these counting units can be compared by the control unit, so that between the identifying unit and the temporary holding unit. It is possible to determine whether or not erroneous conveyance has occurred in the provided conveying means. In addition, when erroneous conveyance occurs continuously, the control means
After that, the bill take-out operation by the feeding means is not performed. As a result, when the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit have an excess or deficiency in the amount, it is possible to prevent the payment from being performed, so that it is possible to prevent the deficiency in the amount to be paid from occurring.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an internal configuration diagram of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a circulation type automatic depositing / dispensing machine. In the following description of the drawings, the same elements are designated by the same reference numerals.

The circulation type automatic depositing / dispensing machine shown in FIG. 1 can be used by, for example, a teller or a general customer (hereinafter referred to as a customer) at a window of a bank. Then, the tellers machine and the circulation-type automatic depositing / dispensing machine are electrically connected to each other, and operate based on an instruction from the tellers machine operated by the teller or an operation input instruction operated by the customer. Deposits and withdrawals can be made in any of the departments.

The circulation-type automatic depositing / dispensing machine shown in FIG.
It is composed of a main body 100 for performing payment return, a front / back reversing unit 105 for reversing bills, and a storage unit 300 for storing inserted bills in a repaidable state.

Deposited banknotes 10 inserted from a slot 101a by a teller
2a is an intake mechanism 103a driven by a pulse motor TM1a.
Will be taken inside one by one. Then, the transport paths a and b
After that, it is sent to the banknote aligner section 104a and the banknote recognition section 104b. The banknote aligner unit 104a moves the banknotes conveyed for identification to one side of the conveyance path by rollers or the like.

On the other hand, the customer-side deposit / withdrawal section 101b is a state in which the shutters 107a, 107b are projected to the insertion / exit opening 109 (state shown by a broken line),
When the external shutter 107 (which is driven to open and close by the motor SHT) is opened, it is in a state of waiting for the deposit of banknotes. Then, when the customer inserts the bill 102b, the support plates with rollers 107d and 107e support the bill 102b, retract the shutter 107a, move the bill onto the shutter 107b, and close the shutter 107.
After that, the shutter 107b is retracted and the capture mechanism 103b captures the sheets one by one. In this way, the customer side deposit / withdrawal unit 10
Deposited banknotes 102b input from 1b are taken into the inside one by one by a take-in mechanism 103b driven by a pulse motor TM1b, and passed through conveyance paths r, n, o, b, and a banknote aligner unit 104a and a bill validator 104b. Sent to.

Here, the deposit banknotes 102a and 102b have different denominations,
Bad notes and the like are mixed, and the banknote identification unit 104b uses the banknote identification unit 104b to verify the authenticity, denomination, damage, front and back, thickness, skew (being conveyed in an oblique state), chain (a plurality of banknotes). Are connected) are identified (high-class identification). Then, the identified deposited banknotes are passed through the transport path c (front-back reversal) unit.
Sent to 105. However, when the deposited banknote is a counterfeit banknote, an abnormal thickness, skew, chain, etc., the banknote is not reversed and
It is sent to the ejection port 112 via the transfer paths n and z, or is sent to the input / output port 109 via the transfer paths d and q. The front / back reversing unit 105 has a front / back reversing function, and the bills identified as the front pass through as they are, and the bills identified as the back pass through a reversing passage (not shown) Sent out.

The banknotes whose front and back have been arranged by the front and back reversing unit 105 have the first, second, and third storage cassette units 30 for each denomination.
It is stored in 2,303,304.

The cassette units 302 to 305 are provided with temporary holding plates 312a to 315a. Then, when temporarily holding the deposited banknotes, these receiving plates 312a to 315a project into the cassette (state shown by a broken line) and hold the banknotes sent from the transport paths u, t, s, j. . On the other hand, when storing the temporarily held banknotes and when feeding out the stored banknotes, the receiving plates 312a to 31a
5a is retracted to the outside of the cassette and is in the state shown by the solid line.

In addition, inside the cassette units 302 to 305, there is a storage bill receiving plate.
302a to 305a are provided. These storage banknote receiving plates 30
2a to 305a are provided for receiving the banknotes stored in the cassette, and the temporary holding receiving plates 312a to 31a described above are provided.
When 5a projects into the cassette (that is, when depositing), it moves to the lowest position. On the other hand, when paying out bills for dispensing, these stored bill receiving plates 302a to 305a are raised to bring the topmost bills stacked and stored into contact with the feeding mechanisms 306 to 307.

In the reject unit 301, the first, second, and third storage cassette units 302, 303, 304, the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305, and the recovery-dedicated cassette unit 310, the sensors S22 to S25 detect that the banknotes are stored. . Further, the sensors S12 to S15 detect whether the banknotes stored in the cassette units 302 to 305 are full. Here, the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305,
The reject unit 301 and the collection-dedicated cassette unit 310 are configured so that they can be collectively withdrawn from the storage unit 300. The banknotes in each cassette are withdrawn after being stored in the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305. Can be collected.

At the time of withdrawal, the bills are taken out one by one by the feeding mechanisms 306, 307, 308 driven by the pulse motors TM2 to TM4,
The banknote aligner 1 is passed through the transport paths v, w, x, and f, g, h, p, respectively.
04a is sent to the bill validator 104b. In the bill identifying unit 104b, denominations, front and back, thickness, skew, and chain are identified and are conveyed to the outlet 112 via the conveying paths c, n, z, or to the outlet 109 via the conveying paths c, d, q. Sent. When the customer forgets to pick up the bill sent to the input / output port 109, the bill is collected in the forgotten collection box 110. This is not limited to the case of withdrawal, and is the same in the case of returning banknotes. The taking out of the banknotes from each cassette unit is detected by the sensors S17 to S20, and the number of taken out bills is counted based on the detection.

To replenish bills with a teller, there is a case where the storage unit 300 is pulled out and inserted into each of the cassette sections 302 to 304,
After inserting the unit 300 into the main body 100 by inserting it into the collection cassette unit 305, the cassette units 302 to 3 are automatically fed out one by one.
There is a case where it is stored in 04 and a case where it is replenished from the bill insertion slot 101a. In the latter two cases, the bill identifying unit 104b performs so-called low-grade identification, and the bills are stored in the storage cassette units 302 to 304. In addition, when replenishing from the bill insertion slot 101a, when each storage cassette unit becomes full, the bills of the corresponding denomination are stored in the replenishment / recovery cassette unit 305.

A payout identifying unit 108 is provided in the transport path h,
At the time of dispensing, the banknotes taken out by the feeding mechanisms 306, 307, 308, 309 are identified as skew, chain, back ticket, and abnormal thickness. The banknotes in which these are detected are transported through the transport paths i and k, and are stored in the reject box 301.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 111 denotes a counting reject port, which is used for sending out unidentifiable banknotes when the banknote processing device is simply used for counting purposes. That is, when the bill processing device is used for counting purposes, bills are inserted into the teller-side input port 101a and taken in one by one by the take-in mechanism 103a to obtain the transport paths a and b to obtain the bill aligner section 104a and bills. It is sent to the identification unit 104b. The bill identifying unit 104b identifies bills and counts the bills based on the identification. The banknotes that could be identified (that is, normal banknotes) are returned in the front-back reversing unit 10
5. After passing through the transport path n, further through the transport path z, it is sent out to the outlet 112. On the other hand, the banknotes that cannot be identified are sent to the counting reject port 111 after passing through the front / back reversing unit 105 and the transport path n, and further through the transport paths o and m. As a result, the teller can separately take out the unidentifiable bill and the distinguishable bill.

It may be provided in the tellers machine 405a or may be provided separately as needed.

Similar to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the storage contents of the RAM 404, showing a bill present flag and a full flag. Note that these may be provided in the tellers machine 405a as in FIG. 3, or may be provided separately as necessary.

The operation of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the entire operation.

First, when the device is operated, a transaction mode is designated by an operator (for example, a teller) (601), and a deposit transaction is instructed by the teller or a customer (602), deposit processing is performed (603). On the other hand, when the withdrawal transaction is not instructed but the withdrawal transaction is instructed (602, 604), the withdrawal process is executed (605). Also, if the teller does not command the transaction mode and the replenishment mode is instructed (601,606), the replenishment process is performed (607), and if the replenishment mode is not instructed and the recovery mode is instructed (606,608), the replenishment process is performed. It is executed (609).

6 (a) and 6 (b) show the details of the deposit processing 603 of FIG. First, a case where the teller performs a deposit process will be described.

When the teller operates the operation part 406a of the tellers machine 405a to input the deposit amount or denomination and the number of deposits, the third
This data is stored in the deposit amount memory NKM or the deposit type number memory 10000NMM, 5000NMM, 1000NMM shown in FIG. Next, when the teller inserts the bill received from the customer into the insertion slot 101a, the sensor S1 detects the bill 102a (701), and is taken into the inside one by one by the take-in mechanism 103a (702).

The banknotes taken in one by one are brought to one side of the conveyance path by the banknote aligner section 104a, and high-grade identified by the banknote identification section 104b (703). Then, when it is identified that the thickness is abnormal, the skew, the chain, the counterfeit bill, or the like (704), the lever L
1 is switched and sent to the transport paths n and z, and returned to the outlet 112 (705). On the other hand, when it is identified as normal, 1 is added to the corresponding denomination of the deposit counting memory 10000KMM, 5000KMM, 1000KMM (706).

When the banknote identification unit 104b identifies the predetermined side as the back surface (707), the front / back surface is reversed by the front / back surface reversing unit 105 through the conveyance path c (708).
On the other hand, when the ticket is identified as a front ticket, it passes through the front / back reversing unit 105 and is sent to the conveyance path d (709).
As a result, the front and back sides are aligned, and the money type temporary holding section 312,
Collected in 313, 314 (711). In addition, the money type temporary holding section 31
When the banknotes in which 2,313,314 are accumulated are full, the banknotes of the denomination in which they are full are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 315 thereafter.

After that, as long as the sensor S1 detects the bill, the taking-in operation is continued (712).

When all the banknotes have been taken in, the teller manually checks the number and the total amount (the ones taken in and counted) of the denomination displayed on the display section 407 of the tellers machine 405 and the deposit process. Compare the entered deposit / withdrawal amount or the number of denominations.
When these match, the deposit key is operated (713).

Here, even if some banknotes are returned from the depositing / dispensing machine and the manually input value and the display value of the display unit 407 do not match, the approval key is operated by agreement between the teller and the customer. Sometimes. In this case, the bill returned from the depositing / dispensing machine is returned to the customer. On the other hand, when the return switch is pressed on the operation part 406a of the tellers machine, the banknotes of the money type temporary holding parts 312, 313, 314 and the temporary holding part 315 of the replenishment / recovery cassette part are automatically set because the payment is made on the teller side (715). And is transported to the outlet 112 through the transport paths h, p, c, n, z (716, 717). This transfer is performed by sensors S52, S53, S54, S55
Until all the banknotes in the temporary holding section are exhausted (71
8) You can continue.

The returned banknotes may be inserted again from the insertion port 101a, or may be additionally inserted when dividedly inserted.

When the approval key is operated in step 713, the bills held in the denomination-based temporary holding units 312, 313, 314 and the temporary holding unit 315 of the replenishment / recovery cassette unit are stored in the cassette units 302 to 30.
It is stored in 5 (723). And the total deposit amount memory GK
M, deposit counting memory 10000KMM, 5000KMM, 1000KMM is cleared (718).

When the customer himself / herself deposits money, it is almost the same as the deposit processing by the teller described above, but the bills 102b inserted from the deposit / withdrawal unit 101b are taken one by one by the take-in mechanism 103b, and the sensor S3 detects the bill. The sheet is sent out to the conveyance path r and sent to the identification unit 104b until it does not occur. When the identification unit 104b identifies abnormal thickness, skew, chain, fake bill, etc., the deposit / withdrawal unit 101b.
It is returned to the input / output port 109 through the transport path q. Also, when it is desired to stop the deposit transaction for the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding sections 312, 313, 314, 315 by the customer's instruction (71
4), the bills in the temporary holding sections 312, 313, 314, 315 are automatically fed (719), and when the return changeover switch 406c is operated to return to the teller side (720), the transport paths h, p, c, n, z
Returned to the exit 112 through (721). When the switch 406c is operated to return the bill to the customer, the bill is returned to the insertion / exit slot 109 (723). And. The sensors S52, S53, S54, and S55 continue to take out bills until they are no longer detected (724). Further, when the customer forgets to take out the bill after all the bills are taken out and the bill is detected by the sensor S8 for a predetermined time or longer (725), the bill is indicated by the roller supporting plates 107d and 107c as shown by the broken line in FIG. It is moved to and is collected in the forget-to-collect collection box (726).

FIGS. 7A and 7B are flowcharts showing the details of the withdrawal process 604 of FIG. Here, a case where the teller performs the withdrawal process will be described.

When the teller operates the operation unit 406a of the tellers machine 405a, the withdrawal amount is stored in the withdrawal amount memory SKM of FIG. 3 (a). As a result, the CPU 401 determines the denomination required for withdrawal, sets "1" in the withdrawal denomination flags MFL to SFL in FIG. 3 (b), and determines the number of coins to be withdrawn according to the denomination. Is stored in the withdrawal number memory 10000SMM to 1000SMM.

First, the CPU 401 (corresponding to "control means" of the present invention)
Determines whether or not the flags of the denominations necessary for throwing are set to "1" in the order of 10,000-yen bills, 5,000-yen bills, and 1,000-yen bills (801, 802, 803). Then, for example, if the flag MFL of the 10,000-yen bill is "1", the taking-out of the 10,000-yen bill is started. That is, the bills (10,000-yen bill) in the first storage cassette unit 302 are taken out by the feeding mechanism 306 (804). At this time, the bill S is detected by the sensor S17 of the feeding bill detecting unit 414, and 1 is added to the feeding number memory TMM (80
8). Such bills are sent one by one to the transport paths x and g. The above operation is the same for the 5,000 yen bill and the 1,000 yen bill (805,806). In addition, withdrawal denomination flag MFL to SFL
If none of the flags is set to "1", an error is displayed on the display unit 407 of the tellers machine 405 (807).

The taken-out bill is sent to the withdrawal identification section 108 via the conveyance paths f, g, and h, where the withdrawal identification is made (809).
Then, when the banknote is identified as an abnormal banknote that is skewed or chain-conveyed (810), it is stored in the reject unit 301 via the conveyance paths i and k (811). On the other hand, when it is determined that the bill is a normal bill, the bill validating unit 104b (corresponding to the “discriminating means” of the present invention) subsequently performs front-back discrimination. As a result, when it is determined that the predetermined side surface is the back surface (812), the front / back reversing unit 105 reverses the front / back (813). When the bill is identified as the front side, the bill is sent to the transport path n as it is. On the other hand, when the bill identifying unit 104b determines that the bill is a different denomination bill, for example, when the bill is a 1,000-yen bill despite being taken out from the first storage cassette unit 302 (814), the bill ( Thousand-yen bill) is sent to the dedicated cassette section 310 for collection through the transport paths n, o, i, l (815).

When the bill discriminating unit judges that the bill is a proper bill (normal bill), the discriminating number memory SBM in FIG.
1 is added to (corresponding to the “normal bill counting means” of the present invention) (816). Then, the banknote passes through the transport paths n and z, and corresponds to the outlet 112 (corresponding to the "temporary storage unit" of the present invention).
Sent to The bill sent to the outlet 112 is detected by the sensor S7, and 1 is added to the payout number memory HMM (corresponding to the “payout bill counting means” of the present invention). It should be noted that these series of operations are repeated until the count value stored in the payout number memory TMM matches the count value stored in the payout number memory SMM (817).

When the count value stored in the payout number memory TMM and the count value stored in the withdrawal number memory SMM match,
Next, the CPU 401 determines whether the count value stored in the payout number memory TMM matches the count value stored in the identification number memory SBM (818). Here, if the two count values do not match, the stored content of the feed number memory TMM is rewritten to the content of the identification number memory SBM (81
9).

In step 818, if the count value stored in the payout number memory TMM matches the count value stored in the identification number memory SBM, then the CPU 401 determines that the identification number memory SB
The count value stored in M is compared with the count value stored in the payout number memory HMM (820).

Here, if both count values match, the exit 112
It means that all the transportation to was done normally.
Therefore, in this case, the flag of the matched denomination (MFL when it is 10,000 yen) is reset to "0", and the payout number memory TMM is also cleared (821). Then, it is judged whether or not the other denomination (5,000 yen, 1,000 yen) flag is set to "1" (822), and if it is set, the bill of the next denomination is taken out. . When all the take-out processing is completed, the teller checks the display section 407 of the tellers machine 405 to see if the payment is normally completed, and operates the end key or the cancel key. When the end key is operated (823), the teller takes out the bill (82
5) All memory and flags RFL are cleared (826). On the other hand, in step 823, if the user wants to cancel the payment due to abnormal termination, etc., the operation unit 40
The cancel key of 6a is operated, but in this case, the fed-out number memory TMM is cleared (828), and the bills paid out at the same time are taken out by the teller, set in the replenishment mode, and then collected from the bill slot 101a. If re-emission is required (829), the teller resets the memory and repeats the operation (830).

On the other hand, in step 820, if the count value stored in the number-of-identifications memory SBM does not match the count value stored in the number-of-payouts memory HMM, a conveyance error occurs in the banknote conveyance path up to the exit 112. It means that you have done it. That is, when the count value stored in the payout number memory HMM is larger than the count value stored in the identification number memory SBM,
Due to deviation of switching timing of lever L2 or failure,
This means that part or all of the abnormal bill has been conveyed to the outlet 112. On the other hand, identification number memory SBM
If the count value stored in the payout number memory HMM is smaller than the count value stored in, a part or all of the normal banknotes is stored in the dedicated cassette section 310 for recovery due to a shift timing of the lever L2, a failure, or the like. It means that it has been recovered.

If more than one such transport occurs, the CPU 401
It is determined whether the re-eject flag RFL is on or off (831).

Here, if the re-dispensing flag RFL is off (that is, the first dispensing process), the CPU 401 first
The re-eject flag RFL is turned on (832). Then, the temporarily held banknotes are taken into the inside one by one from the taking-in mechanism 103b and collected in the collecting-dedicated cassette section 310 through the transport paths z, o, i, l (833). Next, the CPU 401 determines the payout number memory TMM, the identification number memory SBM, and the payout number memory.
Clear the HMM (834). After that, based on the withdrawal amount stored in the withdrawal amount memory SKM of FIG. 3 (a),
After determining the denomination required for withdrawal and setting "1" to the withdrawal denomination flag MFL to SFL in FIG. 3 (b), the withdrawal number memory 10000SMM to 1000SMM is calculated, respectively. Remember (835). Then, the process returns to step 801, and the withdrawal process is performed again.

Further, in step 831, when the re-payout RFL flag is turned on (that is, the second withdrawal process)
Performs a collection process similar to step 833 (836), and issues an alarm by voice, display, buzzer, etc. on the tellers machine 405a and the main body 100 side (837). In this case, the device does not perform the eject operation. This is because it is determined that there is an abnormality in the device, and that it is necessary to inspect, adjust, etc., because disagreements have occurred continuously in the two withdrawal processes.

Although the banknotes are conveyed to the collection-dedicated cassette section 310 in step 833 of the above embodiment, the temporary holding section 315
It may be possible to collectively collect and pay out again to the money type temporary holding section 312, 313, 314 through the identifying section 104b.
You may make it accumulate | store in and make it pay out again. In this case, at the time of the second collection, the banknotes may be put in the collection-dedicated cassette section 310.

The case where the teller performs the withdrawal process has been described above, but when the customer performs the withdrawal process, the required withdrawal amount or denomination and the number of coins are input by the customer side operation unit 406b, and the withdrawal by the teller is performed. Similar to the money processing, the withdrawal amount memory SKM or the withdrawal number memory 10000SMM, 5000SMM, 1000SMM is written, and the same processing is performed thereafter, and the money is discharged to the insertion / exit port 109 through the transport paths d and q. When the end key is operated (823), a payout process (not shown in FIG. 7) is performed, and then the customer waits for the bill to be taken out (825). When the customer wants to cancel, the cancel key of the operation unit 406b is operated, but in this case, the feeding number memory TMM is cleared, and the fetching mechanism 103b fetches one by one and the identifying unit 10 operates.
After identifying the denomination through 4b, each cassette part 30
2-304 or the replenishment / recovery cassette section 305 is sorted and stored.

As described above, in the banknote handling apparatus of the present embodiment, during the dispensing process, the banknote identifying unit 104b counts the number of banknotes identified as normal by the identification number memory SBM, and is actually conveyed to the outlet 112. The number of bills is counted in the payout number memory HMM, and the counting results stored in these memories SBM and HMM are compared by the CPU 401 to determine whether or not erroneous conveyance of bills has occurred. In addition, when the erroneous conveyance occurs twice consecutively, the abnormal processing is performed.
As a result, when the amount of money to be dispensed accumulated in the dispensing port 112 is excessive or insufficient, the amount of money to be dispensed is not paid out, so that it is possible to prevent the amount of dispensed money from being excessive or insufficient.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the banknote processing apparatus of the present invention, the identifying means by comparing the number of banknotes identified as normal by the identifying means and the number of banknotes transported by the transporting means to the temporary holding unit. It is possible to determine whether or not erroneous conveyance has occurred with the conveyance means provided between the temporary holding section, and if erroneous conveyance has occurred continuously,
Since the bill take-out operation by the feeding means is not performed, it is possible to prevent an excess or deficiency of the payout amount when the bills are paid out.
