Then, the dispensing device 18 starts operating. That is, when the □〇 button is pressed, the respective bottom plates of the 10,000 yen bill dispensing section 39A and the 1,000 yen bill dispensing section 39B in the dispensing section 39 shown in FIG. ') rises and the topmost bank note in each bundle of 10,000 yen bills and 1,000 yen bills accumulated on the top surface of each bottom plate is disbursed by a friction roller (for example, 39R in the case of dispensing section 39A). The sheets are taken out one by one as the take-out mechanism selectively rotates.
It is sent to the conveyance path 54 as shown in FIG. 9d. Each bank note conveyed in the conveyance path 54 is subjected to weight determination and determination of the number of banknotes passed by the detector 46, and the total withdrawal amount is calculated. After that, they are accumulated in the second temporary storage section 47.

If there is a counterweight, the withdrawal operation by the withdrawal mechanism consisting of a friction roller (for example, 39R in the case of the withdrawal section 39A) is stopped, and the rejected ticket is guided to the delivery space 51 and the recovery conveyance path 48 side. Then, the tickets are discharged to the rejected ticket storage 50 and accumulated. In this case, the delivery space 51 has its rotation path 5
1a stops at an appropriate position and guides the banknotes conveyed from the conveyance path 54 to the recovery conveyance path 48. When the collection of exclusion tickets is completed, a command to start the withdrawal operation is issued again. When the total withdrawal amount and the requested payment amount match, the withdrawal operation by the withdrawal mechanism consisting of a friction roller (for example, 39R in the case of the withdrawal section 39A) stops, and the withdrawal operation in the second temporary storage section 47 is stopped. The bank note will be delivered to the note outlet 11.

However, if the banknotes accumulated in the dispensing section 39 are

The banknotes in the second temporary storage section 47 are stored at the note extraction port 11.
It will be sent to .

Note that during the operation of dispensing banknotes to the second temporary storage section 47, the receiving belt 57 and the presser belt 58 are rotating in the direction of pushing back the sent banknotes, so that the banknotes are not stored inside the second temporary storage section 47. The banknotes sent out are stacked in an orderly manner on the receiving belt 57.

When the banknote sending operation to the second temporary storage section 47 is completed in this way, the arm actuating device 63 of the sending/taking mechanism 69 operates, and the presser belt 58 is rotated about the support shaft 63. , the bank note is held between the receiving belt 57 and the presser belt 58.
At this time, the shutter operating mechanism operates, and the second shutter 60 descends to open the ticket outlet 11, and a clutch (not shown) is turned on, so that the driving force of the motor rotating in the forward direction is transmitted to the roller 62. The receiving belt 57 and the presser belt 58 are synchronously rotated in the forward direction, that is, in the direction of conveying banknotes to the note takeout port 11 side, via a pair of gears (not shown). Next, when a certain period of time has elapsed since the leading edge of the bank note was detected by the first optical detector 70, the clutch is turned off and feeding is stopped. At this time, the leading end of the bank note protrudes outside the casing 1 through the note ejection port 11, and since the clutch is off, the person receiving the bank note only has to grasp the protruding part and take it out.

Next, when the optical detector 70 detects that the bank note has been withdrawn, the arm actuating mechanism 68
operates, the presser belt 58 rotates in a direction away from the receiving belt 57, and returns to its initial state. Also,
The information read from the ID card (PIN, account number, etc.) and the payment amount are stored, and the ID card is returned to the ID card entrance 8, transaction records are printed on the passbook, and the passbook is returned to the passbook entrance 10. Ru. Therefore, the user must use the ticket exit 11.
All withdrawal (payment) transactions will be completed by receiving banknotes, ID cards, and passbooks from the bank.

In the automatic currency transaction device configured in this way, as shown in FIG. 9, which shows the movement progress of banknotes, each bundle of banknotes deposited through the deposit port 3 is determined by the banknote type identification detector 21. The determination is made, and the storage section 32A of the temporary storage section 32 contains a 10,000 yen bill;
1,000 yen bills are stored in B, and 5,000 yen bills are stored in storage section 32C. And the 10,000 yen bill is in the withdrawal section 39A.
Next, the 1,000 yen bills are transported to the dispensing section 39B and accumulated there. The 10,000 yen bills and 1,000 yen bills accumulated in the dispensing section 39A and the dispensing section 39B, respectively, are taken out one by one and ejected from the ticket outlet 11 when dispensing money. Money is withdrawn from the cash withdrawal box consisting of the storage boxes 41 and 42 in which the banknotes are stored when all the banknotes accumulated in the cash withdrawal units 39A and 39B are used for withdrawal and run out. Therefore, as long as there is a deposit, the withdrawal section 39A, 3
Since banknotes are always accumulated in the storage box 9B, the number of banknotes stored in the deposit box consisting of the storage boxes 41 and 42 is less likely to decrease, and the number of times the deposit box is replenished with banknotes can be extremely reduced. Therefore, it can be particularly useful for unmanned operation.

According to the embodiment described above, correct banknotes among the deposited banknotes are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit;
Illegal banknotes are temporarily stored in the direction change section and then returned. When the transaction is approved, banknotes of the denomination used for withdrawal among the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage section are stored in the withdrawal section, and when the transaction is disapproved, the banknotes of the denomination used for withdrawal are stored in the temporary storage section. Collected banknotes will be returned.

Therefore, even if the transaction is canceled during the deposit transaction, the bank note inserted by the user can be reliably returned.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, in an automatic currency transaction device that uses deposited banknotes as banknotes for withdrawal, it is possible to reliably return the banknotes inserted by the user. Therefore, if a deposit transaction is canceled, the user will not feel uncomfortable, and if a carefully crafted counterfeit ticket is accepted, the problem of returning the genuine ticket will not occur. This has the effect that there is no
