The upper unit 2, the intermediate unit 3, and the lower unit 4 are each equipped with independent motors (not shown) as power sources for separating, stacking, and transporting banknotes, and are provided with power transmission mechanisms.

The operation of the deposit/withdrawal device having the above configuration is as follows.

<Deposit Operation> Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the deposit/withdrawal device 1 will be explained based on FIG. 7.

The banknotes inserted into the input slot 5 are taken into the device one by one from the bottom by the operation of the deposit separation mechanism 7, and sent to the discrimination section 8 along the running path.

The discrimination section 8 sequentially discriminates the authenticity of the conveyed banknotes one by one, determines whether the banknotes are good or bad, determines whether the banknotes are front or back, and detects the running state, and sends the banknotes to a front/back alignment mechanism 9 located at the rear via a running path. .

In the discrimination section 8, the banknotes determined to be genuine and front side, and the banknotes determined to be counterfeit, are passed through route (a) without operating the switching gate 10 located at the entrance of the front/back alignment mechanism 9. Head to the switching gate 12.

If you receive a ticket that is determined to be a counterfeit ticket, please proceed to switching gate 1.
2 is actuated to transport it upward, and the traveling path 14 transports it along the route (H) from the rear to the front, and reaches the discharge outlet accumulation section 15. The discharge port stacking section 15 stacks the transported banknotes one by one at the discharge port 6. Outlet port 6
The banknotes accumulated in the bank are so-called deposit-rejected banknotes.

When a banknote determined to be a genuine banknote and a front side banknote arrives, the switching gate 12 is not activated and the banknote heads downward to the intermediate unit 3 through the route (c).

If the banknote is determined to be a genuine banknote and a reverse side by the discrimination section 8, the switching gate 10 located at the entrance of the front and back arrangement mechanism 9 is operated to send the banknote to the route (b) and pass through the front and back arrangement mechanism 9. By doing so, the leading and trailing ends of the banknotes being conveyed are reversed and sent out along the route (c) with their front ends facing up, and sent to the intermediate unit 3 via the travel path 11.

Note that both routes are arranged so that the time taken to pass route (a) and the time taken to pass route (b) are the same.

In the intermediate unit 3, the banknotes whose surfaces are aligned are conveyed along the travel path in the direction of the arrow.

Here, if a genuine 5,000 yen note that can be reused for withdrawal is transported, the 5,000 yen note is sent to the 5,000 yen note accumulation section 19 by operating the gate 27. 5,000 yen bills - Collected in the time storage section 23. Similarly, if the banknote is a genuine 1,000 yen note and can be reused for withdrawal, the 1,000 yen note is sold at gate 26.
The banknotes are sent to the 1,000 yen bill accumulating section 18 and accumulated in the 1,000 yen bill-time storage section 22. If the banknotes are genuine 10,000 yen bills and can be reused for withdrawal, the 10,000 yen bill cut is The gate 25 is operated to feed the 10,000 yen bills into the 10,000 yen bill accumulation section 17, and the 10,000 yen bills are accumulated in the 10,000 yen bill-time storage section 21.

In the case of a damaged note or a note that cannot be withdrawn (for example, a 500 yen note or a banknote before alteration), it is treated as a banknote that is not eligible for recirculation. The money is sent to the accumulation section 16 and accumulated in the bulk/deposit-time storage section 20.

By the above-described operations, the deposit counting process for the banknotes set in the slot 5 is completed.

Next, when the deposit/withdrawal device 1 receives a storage command from a control section (not shown), the temporary storage section 20 of the intermediate unit 3,
21. : 22. The deposited banknotes accumulated at 23 are moved to the storage section shutter 30. 31, 32° and 33 are released downward at the same time and stored in the storage compartments of 34, 35° and 36.37.

The deposit operation is now complete.

Withdrawal operation Next, the withdrawal operation will be explained based on FIG.

The instructions for counting withdrawals are 1 million yen note, 1 5000 yen note, and 1 1000 yen note.
If it is, the end detector 44b of the ten thousand yen bill storage 35 first determines whether or not the end has been detected. If the end is detected, a response message is sent back to the control unit (not shown) with a message indicating that withdrawal is not possible.

If the end is not detected, the take-out separation mechanism 39 is activated to feed out one ten thousand yen note.

The dispensed banknotes follow the running path 43 as shown by the arrow in Figure 8.
, 29.13 and sent to the discrimination section 8. Identification department 8
Then, it is determined whether the banknote is as specified, and if it is as specified, the switching gate 12 is operated and the banknote is fed into the travel path 14, and the banknote that has reached the discharge port accumulation section 15 is accumulated in the discharge port 6.

If the discriminator 8 determines that the ticket is not as specified or that the ticket cannot be withdrawn, the switching gate 12 is not activated and the ticket is transported downward through the running path 11 and transferred to the intermediate unit 3.
is conveyed along the dotted line and fed into the reject banknote storage 41 from the dispensing reject banknote drop-in section 28. Then, the banknotes are taken out from the 10,000-yen note storage 35 again and the process of identification is repeated.

When the release of the 10,000 yen note is completed, next, one 5,000 yen note is released from the 5,000 yen note storage 37 in the same manner as the 10,000 yen note. Thereafter, 1,000 yen bills are subsequently discharged from the 1,000 yen bill storage 36 in the same manner, and the withdrawal of the number of bills specified by the control section (not shown) is completed.

<Sheet counting operation> Next, the sheet number counting operation will be explained using FIG. 9.

The banknotes set in the input slot 5 are taken into the device one by one from the bottom by the operation of the deposit separation mechanism 7, and sent to the discrimination section 8 along the running path.

The discrimination section 8 sequentially discriminates the authenticity, denomination, and running state of the transported banknotes one by one.

In the sheet counting process, the switching gate 10 located at the entrance of the front and back alignment mechanism 9 is not operated, and the discrimination section 8
All the banknotes that have passed through will head to the switching gate 12 via the route (a).

When a bill is determined to be genuine and of the designated denomination, the switching gate 12 is activated and the bill is transported upwards to the running path 14.
It is conveyed from the rear toward the front along the route (h) and reaches the discharge outlet accumulation section 15. Outlet accumulation part 15
Then, the transported banknotes are accumulated one by one at the discharge port 6.

When a banknote determined to be a counterfeit banknote or a banknote of a denomination other than the designated denomination arrives, the switching gate 12 does not operate and the banknote heads downward to the intermediate unit 3 through the route (c).

In the intermediate unit 3, the banknotes whose surfaces are aligned are conveyed along the travel path in the direction of the arrow.

Next, the -batch/deposit portion operates the gate 24, and the -batch/deposit amount is
The banknotes sent from the upper unit 2 are fed into the deposit accumulation section 16 and accumulated in the -Bundle/Deposit-time storage section 20.

By repeating the above operations, when the process of counting the number of banknotes set in the input slot 5 is completed, the deposit/withdrawal device 1 normally counts and displays the number of banknotes accumulated in the discharge port 6.

Next, the control unit (not shown) controls the -payment/deposit-time reservation unit 20.
If the result detected by a residual banknote detection sensor (not shown), which is paired with a light-emitting element for detecting the presence or absence of banknotes accumulated in the banknotes, is ``There are residual banknotes,'' a display (not shown) will indicate ``There are residual banknotes.'' display, unlock the intermediate unit 3, and guide the teller to take out the counted rejected banknotes.

This completes the sheet counting operation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, according to the prior art having the above-mentioned configuration, since the banknotes rejected for counting are accumulated inside the device, there is a problem in that residual banknotes are generated, and if this is not noticed, it may cause a cash accident.

For example, in the conventional example described above, a light emitting element.

A pair of light-receiving elements is used to detect remaining banknotes,
Since the reference point for detecting residual banknotes is one point in the bulk/deposit-time storage section, if the accumulated counted reject banknotes are damaged banknotes such as torn banknotes or folded banknotes, the residual banknote detection sensor will detect the banknotes that have been rejected. Sometimes I do.

After such a detection failure occurs, the amount returned to the teller is the amount minus the remaining banknotes, but since the counting result on the display etc. and the returned banknotes match,
Causing cash mishaps.

Furthermore, if the teller uses the same device to deposit money without noticing that the teller has missed the detection, the rejected banknotes during the counting process will get mixed in with the deposited banknotes, causing a cash accident.

In addition, according to the conventional technology having the above-mentioned configuration, since the banknotes rejected for counting are accumulated inside the device, it is necessary to open the device and take them out, which results in poor operability and requires a lot of work. There was a problem that there was a loss of time.

There is also a device in which each hourly holding section has a feeding means and these are used to transport and discharge counted reject banknotes, but the problem of time loss due to feeding and conveyance remains as before.

Furthermore, according to the conventional technology having the above-described configuration, since the number of sheets is counted using the mechanism of the entire apparatus, there is a problem in that power consumption increases for confirmation processing that does not directly affect the operation of the apparatus.

The number of bills to be processed is particularly large in a counter processing device in which a teller performs deposit and withdrawal processing while interacting with customers.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a configuration in which counted rejected banknotes can be easily collected, no residual banknotes are left after collection, processing time is short, operability is good, and cash accidents do not occur. The purpose is to realize a deposit/withdrawal device.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention performs a number-of-bills counting process using only a part of the mechanism of the apparatus, and also enables an operator to visually check whether there are any remaining banknotes.

That is, the present invention has an upper unit in which an input port, a discharge port, and a discriminator are arranged, and a lower unit in which a banknote storage is arranged, and it is possible to check whether the banknotes inserted from the input port are genuine or not, whether they are good or bad, or whether they are correct or not.
A deposit function that distinguishes the denominations, etc. in a discrimination section and stores the bills that are classified as true and correct in a storage box by denomination, and a deposit function that takes out a specified number of banknotes of a specified denomination from the storage box for each denomination. A dispensing function for dispensing money from the dispensing port, and a discrimination section that distinguishes the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the banknotes inserted from the input port, and counts the banknotes that are of a specific denomination and is determined to be true. In a deposit/withdrawal device having a counting function that separates banknotes from count-rejected banknotes that have been identified as other denominations or fakes and returns them to a discharge port, the upper unit is provided with a second discharge port for discharging count-reject banknotes; When counting the number of bills, the transport path of the banknotes is limited to the upper unit, and when counting the number of bills, the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the banknotes inserted from the input slot are determined by a discrimination section, and it is determined that the banknotes are of a specific denomination and true. It is characterized in that the banknotes are counted and returned to the first discharge port, and the remaining counted rejected banknotes are returned to the second discharge port.

[For production]

With the above configuration, the present invention distinguishes the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the banknotes inserted from the input slot when counting the number of banknotes, using the discrimination section in the upper unit, and counts the banknotes that are of a specific denomination and are determined to be true. At the same time, the banknotes can be returned to the first discharge port using the conveyance path in the upper unit, and other counted rejected banknotes can be returned to the second discharge port using the conveyance path in the upper unit.

The deposit operation is now complete.

Withdrawal operation Next, the withdrawal operation will be explained based on FIG.

Assuming that the instructions for counting withdrawals are one 10,000 yen bill and one 1,000 yen bill, first, it is determined whether the end detector (not shown) of the ten thousand yen bill storage 78 has detected the end. If the end is detected, a response message is sent back to the control unit (not shown) with a message indicating that withdrawal is not possible. If the end is not detected, the take-out separating mechanism 81 is activated to feed out one ten thousand yen note.

The dispensed banknotes follow the running path 84 as shown by the arrow in Figure 3.
．． 60 and sent to the discrimination section 56.

The discrimination unit 56 discriminates whether the banknote is as specified, and if it is as specified, operates the switching gate 58 and switches the banknote to the running path 6.
1, and the banknotes that have reached the outlet stacking section 62 are accumulated in the outlet 53.

Note that if the discrimination unit 56 discriminates that the ticket is not as specified or that the ticket cannot be withdrawn, the switching gate 58 will not be activated.
The banknotes are conveyed downward, pass through the travel path 59, and are fed into the lower unit 51 again, and then sent from the withdrawal reject banknote stacking section 69 to the reject banknote storage 83. Then, the bill is taken out from the 10,000 yen bill storage 78 again and the process of identification is repeated.

Once the 10,000 yen bill has been released, the 1,000 yen bill storage compartment 7
From 7 onwards, 1,000 yen notes are dispensed in the same manner, and the withdrawal of the specified number of notes is completed.

With this, the withdrawal operation is completed.

<Counting operation of sheets> Next, the operation of counting the number of sheets, which is the gist of the present invention, will be explained with reference to the operation flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5.

Sl The operator sets the banknotes that he/she wants to count into the slot 52.

82-S3 The operator inputs and sets the specific denomination desired to be counted using an input means (not shown), and instructs to start counting the number of coins.

When a start instruction is given at S433, the device stores the input specific denomination in the memory within the control unit.

35 Place the banknotes set in the slot 52 in order from the top.
The money is taken into the device one by one by the operation of the deposit separation mechanism 54, the upper conveyance motor 88 is activated, and the money is sent to the discrimination section 56 via the running path 55.

S6 to S8 The ffl separate section 56 determines whether each bill that has been conveyed is a genuine bill or not, and whether it is of a designated denomination or not.

Determine whether or not the vehicle is running normally. Note that all the banknotes that have passed through the discrimination section 56 head toward the switching gate 58.

39 If a banknote satisfies all the conditions of being a genuine banknote, a designated denomination banknote, and not being penetrated in the judgments of 36 to S7, the switching gate 58 is activated, and the banknote is conveyed upward, and is conveyed by the running path 61. , and reaches the outlet accumulation section 62.

In the SIO discharge port accumulation section 62, the transported banknotes are
The sheets are accumulated in the discharge port 53 one by one.

The switching gates 58 and 63 are actuated for the banknotes that meet the conditions of either counterfeit banknotes or banknotes of a non-designated denomination 21 times as determined in Sll S6 to S8, and reach the counting redirector accumulation unit 64.

S12 The counting reject stacking section 64 stacks the transported banknotes one by one in the counting reject port 65. The banknotes stacked in the count reject port 65 are so-called count reject banknotes.

313 Finally, the counting results are displayed on a display (not shown).

This completes the sheet counting operation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above in detail, the present invention includes an upper unit in which an input port, a discharge port, and a discrimination unit are arranged, and a lower unit in which a banknote storage is arranged, and the banknotes inserted from the input port are stored in the upper unit. A deposit function that distinguishes authenticity, correctness, denomination, etc., and stores the bills that have been identified as true and genuine in a storage box by denomination, and a deposit function that stores banknotes that are classified as genuine and correct in a storage box by denomination, and specifies the banknotes by specified denomination from the storage box for each denomination. a withdrawal function that takes out a number of banknotes and withdraws the money from the discharge port;
A discrimination section distinguishes the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the banknotes inserted from the input slot, and counts the banknotes of a specific denomination that are determined to be true, and also counts these banknotes as rejected banknotes that are classified as other denominations or fakes. In a deposit/withdrawal device having a counting function of sorting and returning banknotes to a discharge port, the upper unit is provided with a second discharge port for discharging banknotes rejected for counting, and the conveyance path of the banknotes during counting is set within the upper unit. The authenticity of the banknotes inserted through the slot when counting the number of banknotes.

The denomination, etc. is discriminated by the discrimination section, and banknotes of a specific denomination and authentic are counted and returned to the first discharge port, and other counted rigid banknotes are returned to the second discharge port. Not only can the number of bills be counted using only a part of the mechanism of the device, but also the operator can visually check whether there are any remaining bills.

This makes it possible to easily collect rejected banknotes and prevent the generation of residual banknotes after collection, creating a deposit/withdrawal device with short processing time, good operability, and no cash accidents. effective.
