56, belt pulleys 57, 58, 59, and rotating rotors 60, 61 as a take-out mechanism equipped with take-out tips 60a, 60b, 61a, 61b.
is installed.

Impellers 55, 56 and belt pulleys 57, 59 on both sides are rotatably attached to the main shaft 50 via bearings 62, and rotating rotors 60, 61 are fixedly attached. In addition, belt pulleys 57, 59 and impeller 5
5 and 56 are connected to each other via a planetary gear reduction mechanism 63, and are 1/16 of the belt pulleys 57 and 59.
It is designed to rotate at a speed reduced to .
That is, a gear 64 is formed on each of the belt pulleys 57 and 59, and a rotating shaft 66 of a planetary gear 65 that meshes with the gear 64 is stopped by the impellers 55 and 56, respectively. is in mesh with the circular gear 67. Further, the circular gears 67, 67 are configured to interlock with a rotating shaft 69 whose rotation and stop are controlled via an electromagnetic clutch 68 via belts 70, 70, and when banknotes A are stacked, the circular gears 67, 67 6
7 is fixed and the impellers 55 and 56 rotate at a speed of 1/16 of the belt pulleys 57 and 59.
When taking out the rotating rotors 60, 61 and the impeller 5
The circular gears 67 and 67 are forced to rotate so that the gears 5 and 56 rotate at the same speed and in the same direction.

Also, among the conveyor belts 71, 72, 73 stretched around the belt pulleys 57, 58, 59, the left and right belt pulleys 5 interlocked with the impellers 55, 56
Timing belts (toothed belts) are installed on the conveyor belts 71 and 73 that are wrapped around the conveyor belts 7 and 59 to prevent phase shift between the blades of the left and right impellers 55 and 56.
is used, and a timing pulley (not shown) that drives these two conveyor belts 71, 73 by another shaft (not shown) is relatively fixed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the conveyor belts 71, 72, 73 are a portion of the conveyor belts 76, 77, 78 that are folded back after being wrapped around pulleys 75 attached to a rotating shaft 74 parallel to the main shaft 50. are superimposed and distributed by the distribution gates 33c, 33d, and 33e.
A branch conveying section 32e that feeds between the blades 5 and 56,
32f or 32g.

Further, the main shaft 50 is connected to a half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 79.
The driving force of the timing pulley 81 driven by the timing belt 80 is transmitted through the timing pulley 81. The main shaft 50 is stopped except when taking out banknotes A, and take-out chips 60a, 61a or 60 are provided on rotating rotors 60, 61 integral with the main shaft 50 with a phase shift of 180 degrees, respectively.
b, 61b are stopped at positions where they do not get in the way when banknotes A enter and accumulate in the impellers 55, 56, and the other extraction tips 60b, 61b or 60a, 61a are stoppers for extracting banknotes A from between the blades. It has come to work as a function as well.

These extraction tips 60a, 60b, 61a,
Reference numeral 61b denotes a suction hole 83 which is knurled and baked with high friction coefficient rubber and communicates with the hole 82 provided along the axial center of the main shaft 50.
are provided for each. Further, a valve mechanism 85 having a communication hole 84 communicating with the hole 82 is fitted onto one end of the main shaft 50, and the main shaft 50 is intermittently rotated every 180 degrees by a half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 79. This allows the valve mechanism 85 to rotate relative to the housing 86 through an extremely small gap. On the other hand, the housing 86 is provided with a suction hole 88 that communicates with an external vacuum source (not shown) via a pipe 87. Then, at each predetermined extraction timing, the suction hole 88
The valve mechanism 85 and the communication hole 84 of the valve mechanism 85 face each other and are in communication with each other. Therefore, the inside of the hole 82 of the main shaft 50 becomes negative pressure at every predetermined take-out timing, and the rotating rotor 60, which communicates with this hole 82,

The suction holes 83 of 1b are also brought into a negative pressure state.

In this way, the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 79 operates and the main shaft 50 rotates half a rotation, thereby rotating the rotating rotor 6.
The suction holes 83 of the take-out tips 60a, 61a or 60b, 61b of 0,61 become negative pressure, and the take-out tips 60a, 61a and 60b, 61b
The foremost banknote A facing the movement path is vacuum-adsorbed and taken out as the rotors 60 and 61 rotate, and is transferred to the transport belts 71, 72, 73.
and a conveyor belt (not shown) superimposed on these conveyor belts 71, 72, 73. The intermittent operation of the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 79 is performed by exciting a trigger magnet (not shown) to free the trigger pin.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, brake belts 89, 89 are arranged opposite to the movement path of the ejecting tips 60a, 61a and 60b, 61b, and brake belts 89, 89 are arranged to squeeze the banknotes A and release the second and subsequent banknotes. It is designed to prevent the removal of A....

Note that the outer circumferential surfaces of the impellers 55, 56 and the outer circumferential surfaces of the take-out chips 60a, 61a and 60b, 61b are approximately flush with each other, but the conveyor belts 71, 72, 73
is in a concave state by a considerable amount.

Next, the structure of the separator mechanisms 24, 25, 26 as the partitioning means will be explained with reference to FIG. These separator mechanisms 24, 25, and 26 have the same configuration. That is, the 1,000 yen bill storage section 16, the 10,000 yen bill storage section 15, and the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section 14 each have a rectangular frame shaped like a rectangular frame surrounding the banknote group A accumulated on the pedestal 89. A movable body 90 is provided. This movable body 90 is supported by guide rods 91, 91 so as to be able to reciprocate along the stacking direction of banknotes A. Three sets of flaps 92a, 92b, 93b each consisting of a pair of claws 91, 91 are disposed on both upper and lower horizontal frame portions 90a, 90b of the movable body 90.
It is held rotatably through 90 degrees by rotary solenoids 93 and 94.

Further, a drive pulley 96 attached to a drive shaft 95a of a motor 95 having a reduction gear is disposed near one end of one guide rod 104, and a driven pulley 97 is disposed near the other end. The movable body 90 has one end fixed near the drive pulley 96 and the other end of a spring belt 98 which is folded back with its midway part wrapped around the driven pulley 97, and a wire 99 whose one end is connected to the drive pulley 96. Each end is connected.

In a normal state, an initial position detector 100 is used to maintain the movable body 90 at a normal stop position.
and a forward position detector 101 are provided, respectively, and the movable body 90 is stopped at this position. This movable body 90 normally receives a force from a pick-up body 103 to the front, that is, to the stacking/retrieval devices 21, 22, 23, by a pressing spring 102 via the stacked banknotes A in each stage. However, this force is the maximum integrated capacity
Even for about 1400 sheets, it is about 1.2Kg/ ^cm2 , which is the force of rotating the motor 95 with a 1/100 reduction gear in the opposite direction.
Since it is approximately 1/3 smaller than 3.5Kg/cm ² , the detector 1 for each position is
It will not be moved forward beyond the positions 00 and 101.

In addition, the upper flaps 92a, 92b, 92c
And the lower flappers 92a, 92b, 92c are placed in a position where the take-out tips 60a, 61a and 60b, 61b of the rotating rotors 60, 61 can pass between them.
The conveyor belts 71, 7 are connected between each claw 91, 91 of 92c.
2 and 73 are determined so that even if the movable body 90 moves forward to the forward position, each flapper 92a, 92b, 92c does not accumulate or
It is designed so that it will not come into contact with the take-out devices 21, 22, and 23.

Further, the motor 95 drives the drive pulley 96 in the forward direction to wind up the wire 99, thereby attaching the flaps 92a, 9 to the upper and lower horizontal frame portions 90a, 90b.
2b and 92c are respectively attached, and the movable body 90 is moved forward by the biasing force of the spring belt 98 by driving the drive pulley 96 in the opposite direction.

Next, centering on Figure 2, see Figures 6 to 8.
The depositing operation will be explained with reference to the figures, and the withdrawing operation will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, the temporary deposit accumulation operation and removal operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 6. First, the banknote bundle A is placed in the banknote input unit 7 in a batch with mixed denominations, front and back, to the maximum amount.
Set about 400 sheets. At this time, the banknote bundle A is pressed against the take-in roller 36 by the backup body 38 with an appropriate force. Next, by pressing down the start button 9 of the operation unit 10, each conveyor belt constituting the banknote conveyance path 32 rotates, and after these conveyor belts reach a constant rotation speed, the take-in roller 36 is rotated by connection of an electromagnetic clutch (not shown). Then, start taking in one sheet per rotation starting from the one at the forefront.
At this time, the first sorting gate 33a is switched so as to guide the banknotes A conveyed by the take-in conveyance section 32a to the central conveyance section 32b side. The captured banknote A is passed through the first banknote presence/absence detector 34a and below, and the second and third banknote presence/absence detectors 34b, 34c.
The passage is counted while being shifted one after another, and sent to the inspection section 30.

Here, banknote discrimination is performed using a completely different method from the conventional discrimination method that captures partial characteristics.
That is, the "short length", "longitudinal length", "magnetic pattern matching", "color separation of transmitted light", and "division matching of fine parts using reflected light" of the entire banknote A.
While the bill passes through the inspection section 30, inspection is performed with four discrimination functions: ``bill type discrimination'', ``authenticity discrimination'', ``goodness/damage discrimination'', and ``front/back discrimination''.

As a result, banknote A, which was found to be "fake" in the authenticity determination,
In other words, when a banknote A is stacked, skewed significantly, or damaged and cannot be recognized as the correct banknote A, the leading edge of the banknote A reaches the fourth banknote passage detector 34d. At this point, the second distribution gate 33b is rotated to the left. Then, the rejected banknote A that has reached the terminal end of the central conveyance section 32b is moved to the rear conveyance section 32c as shown by the broken line arrow.
The banknotes are conveyed through the banknotes to the banknote exit section 8 side. At this time, the impellers 40, 40 are rotating at a low speed in the banknote outlet section 8, and the rejected banknotes A that have been conveyed at a high speed are
are once decelerated by the impellers 40, 40, and are sequentially and orderly stacked on the pedestal 40 with the speed greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the banknote A determined as "true" in the authenticity determination is guided to the front conveyance section 32d by the second sorting gate 33b as shown by the solid line arrow, and then the 5,000 yen banknote A is transferred to the front transport section 32d. The lower branch branch conveyance section 3 reaches the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section 14 through the distribution gate 33c of No. 3.
2e, and the 10,000 yen bill A is transferred to the fourth sorting gate 3.
The 1,000 yen banknotes A are transferred to the middle branch transport section 32f which leads to the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 15 via the fifth distribution gate 33e, and to the upper branch transport section 32g which leads to the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 16 through the fifth distribution gate 33e. Each will be guided. At this time, in each storage section 14, 15, 16, the separator mechanisms 24, 25, 26 are in the initial position, and both the upper and lower flaps 92a,
92b, 92c are in a state of holding down banknotes A, and temporary storage sections 27, 28, 29 are formed in front of each stacking/retrieval device 21, 22, 23.

Therefore, the branch conveyance sections 32e, 32f, 32g
That is, the conveyor belts 71, 72, 73 and 76,
77, 78, and the banknotes A
The above-mentioned accumulation and
The temporary storage section 27,
28 and 29.

Next, when the banknote presence/absence detector 35a detects that all the banknotes A in the banknote input section 7 have been taken in, the banknote presence/absence detector 34f detects whether or not there are banknotes A in the banknote outlet section 8; If there is banknote A, a message is displayed on the display section 13 to prompt the banknote to be re-inserted. Also, if there is no banknote A, the machine enters a confirmation step and stores the temporarily stored banknote A in each storage compartment 1.
It is made to decide whether to store the banknotes A to be stacked together with the banknotes A, which are stacked in the banknotes 4, 15, 16, or to automatically return the banknotes A and return them to the banknote outlet part 8.

Next, the automatic return operation of the deposited banknotes A accumulated in the temporary storage sections 27, 28, 29 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 7. First, the motors 95 of the separator mechanisms 24, 25, 26 are rotated to move the movable body 90 forward and drive it in the direction of the forward position detectors 101, 101, 101.

However, these detectors 101... are set at positions where they work when each movable body 90... moves forward the most when there are no temporarily stored bills.
... are accumulated, each flapper 92a, 92
The forward movement of the movable body 90 is stopped when the stacked banknotes collide with the banknotes b and 92c, and the wire 9
9 will be slack.

Since the drive motor 95 is a pulse motor, each stage drives the motor by the distance from the initial position to the forward position. In this state, the wire 99 is slack, so the flappers 92a, 92b, 92c of each stage are moved by the force of the spring 102 with the stacked banknotes A of each stage by the back-up bodies 103 of each stage.
b, 92c to the accumulation/retrieval device 21, 2
2 and 23, press the banknotes A in the temporary storage section.

Here, the half-rotation electromagnetic clutches 79 of each stage are engaged to take in ten thousand yen banknotes A, five thousand yen banknotes A, and thousand yen banknotes A in this order, and stack them at the banknote outlet 8.

The end timing of the loading operation of each stage is when the banknote presence/absence detectors 35b, 35c, and 35d turn bright, and the separator mechanisms 24, 25, and 26 reach the forward position detectors 101, 101, and 101, and then about 5 more rotations. When the banknote A is not conveyed to the passing detectors 34e, 34;, 34g of the received banknotes from each stage, the process is terminated and the next operation is started. The flow of banknotes A at the time of deposit and return is shown by solid line arrows in FIG.

When the detector 35f that detects the presence or absence of banknotes A at the banknote outlet section 8 turns bright, it means that the automatically returned banknote has been received, so the motors 95 of each stage are driven to remove the movable body 90. Finally, each stage is detected by the detectors 100, 100, 100, so return to the initial position and complete the series of operations.
Turn off the motor 95.

In this way, the state returns to the state shown in FIG. Note that each flapper 92 is designed to prevent the banknotes A inside the separator mechanisms 24, 25, 26 from being taken in together with the automatically returned banknotes A.
It is desirable that the thicknesses of a, 92b, and 92c be thick, and it is safe if the thickness is at least 10 to 15 mm. Also, for this reason, the flappers 92a, 92b, 92
It is better to use lightweight plastic such as polyacetal as the material for c.

There is a gap of 0.5 mm between the flappers 92a, 92b, 92c and the impellers 60, 61 even at their most advanced positions.To maintain this gap, each separator mechanism 24, 25, 26 has a front stopper (not shown). ) is attached.

Next, storage of deposited banknotes will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2, 5, and 8.

When the bill insertion is completed and the detector 35a of the bill slot 7 turns bright, a confirmation step begins. At this time, press Confirm and after ON-LINE communication, if the acceptance is "OK", the rotary solenoid 93 shown in Fig. 5,
94 to operate the flappers 92a, 92b, 92.
Rotate c to open both the top and bottom towards the water surface. In this way, each stage of backup 103, 103, 103
Banknote groups A..., A..., stored in each row by
A... is pushed forward by the pressing springs 102, 102, 102, and together with the banknotes in the temporary storage section, comes into contact with the stacking/retrieving devices 21, 22, 23 and stops. After this, flappers 92a, 92b, 92c
Rotary solenoid 93 to level the
While 94 is energized, the separator mechanisms 24, 25,
26 is driven by the motor 95, the mechanism moves forward via the spring belt 98 and reaches the forward position since there is no resistance from the banknotes A. (8th
state in the figure) At this time, each flapper 92a, 92b,
92c is the conveyor belts 71, 72, 73 of the accumulation/take-out devices 21, 22, 23 and the impeller 60 of the Ryōkyō;
61 and the intake chip. When the rotary solenoids 93, 94 are released at this position, the flappers 92a, 92b, 92c are rotated by 90 degrees and the claws 91... are in the upright state. At this point, when the motor 95 is rotated, the entire banknote group A is pulled back via the wire 99 to return to the initial state. (State in FIG. 2) Next, the case of withdrawal will be explained with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 9.

After all types and amounts of banknotes to be dispensed are specified by the teller counter device 4, the balance of the account is confirmed through ON-LINE communication.

If the payment specification is within the range of the balance, preparation for withdrawal will begin.

First, the flaps 9 of the separator mechanisms 26 and 25 of the 1,000 yen bill storage section 16 and the 10,000 yen bill storage section 15
2a, 92b, 92c are rotary solenoid 9
Operate 3 and 94 to make it horizontal.

In this way, as shown in FIG.
Banknote group A held with a gap from the combination mechanism by a, 92b, and 92c
.

Here, the separator mechanisms 26 and 25 remain at the positions detected by the initial position detectors 100 and 100 and are not moved forward by the motor 95.

There is no problem with the side flaps 92a, 92b, 92c, but the lower flaps 92a, 92b, 9
2c is belts 71, 72, 73 and impellers 60, 6
1. Removal tip 60a, 61a or 60
This is because it gets in between the banknotes 61b and 61b and becomes an obstacle to the taking in of the banknotes A.

First, a banknote A is taken out from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 15. When the vacuum pump is operated, the vacuum pressure increases and the chips 60a, 61a, 60b, 61b are taken out through the hole 82 formed along the axis of the main shaft 50.
A suction hole 8 communicating with the hole 82 drilled in the
3... becomes a negative pressure, thereby attracting the banknotes A, separating the banknotes A between the brake belts 89, 89 for preventing double taking, and taking them into the front conveyance section 32d. The taken-in banknotes A are counted by a detector 34f that detects that they have immediately merged with the conveyance path 32. Since the detector 34f is installed at the position shown in the figure, the specified number of sheets is detected by the detector 34f, counted, and immediately taken in, and the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 79 is activated.
Even if you turn it off, you will end up with one extra coin, which will always be rejected, resulting in poor capital efficiency.

Therefore, the detector 34f continuously rotates the rotating rotor until the designated number of bills minus 1 is counted, and then extracts the bills until the designated number of bills minus 1 is counted.After that, the rotating rotor is driven half a rotation to take out the bills. When this is detected by the detector 34f, all captures are terminated.

That is, if one sheet of paper is to be dispensed, the rotors 60 and 61 serving as the ejecting mechanism are rotated only half a rotation regardless of the detector 34f. The bills A taken out in this way pass through the same bill inspection section 30 as the deposited banknotes, and are subjected to "bill type determination,""authenticitydetermination,""fitnessdetermination," and "front/back determination."

Regarding the above-mentioned ``ticket type determination'', it is not necessary for the tickets that have been inspected at the time of deposit, but the staff may set the missing amount, so it cannot be said that there are no setting errors, so it should be re-appraised at the time of withdrawal.

For the same reason, it is necessary to re-examine the "authenticity determination" at the time of withdrawal. Also, since the characteristics of banknote A cannot be obtained by normal stacking, the banknotes are treated in the same way as counterfeit banknotes.

Regarding ``determination of fitness'', it is desirable to accept deposits of genuine banknotes, no matter how dirty, as long as the type of banknote can be determined. These are called damaged banknotes and are returned to the Bank of Japan and disposed of.

However, in order to pay customers, it is absolutely necessary to avoid paying with damaged banknotes. For this reason, when dispensing money, the entire banknote A must be inspected, and banknotes that are defined as damaged banknotes, such as stains, tears, repaired cellophane tape, or bent corners, must be rejected.

These damaged banknotes that were determined to be eliminated are
When the leading edge of the bill A reaches the detector 34d as shown by the double-dashed arrow in the figure, the sorting gate 33b is rotated to the right by a rotary solenoid (not shown), and the bill A is guided to the front conveyance section 32d to the sorting gate 3.
3c, while taking out banknote A, the solenoid is energized in the right direction and 5,000 yen / rejected banknote storage section 1
4 and are collected.

In other words, the banknote storage unit 15 accepts and accumulates only 5,000 yen banknotes at the time of deposit, but at the time of withdrawal, it accepts and accumulates only 5,000 yen banknotes that are found to be inappropriate for payment as a result of inspection (the rejection contents are the above-mentioned damaged banknotes). This is a reject collection that accepts the tickets that have been determined.

In the normal payment operation, it stops once at the specified number of coins - 1,
The rotating rotors 60, 61 equipped with the take-out tips 60a, 61a, 60b, 61b are rotated an additional half turn to dispense a predetermined number of bills, but if a reject bill is received as described above, this reject bill is not counted. Therefore, continue with the withdrawal operation.

Now, when the deposited banknotes A are set in the banknote slot 7, they are usually front and back, forward and reverse, and of mixed denominations, but at financial institution counters, when withdrawing money, they are always aligned with the front side. Therefore, the genuine banknote A rotates the sorting gate 33b to the left and enters the rear conveyance section 32c, but the banknote A is determined to be a reverse banknote by the "front/back determination" of the inspection section 30, as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. , when the tip of bill A reaches the detector 34h, the sorting gate 33f
Rotate clockwise to remove the cradle 41 of the front/back reversal section 31.
Temporarily accumulate on top.

The impeller 39 is used for stacking in the front/back reversing section 31 in the same way as in the banknote outlet section 8. The banknotes A on the front side are not guided to the front-back reversing unit 31, but are straightly stacked at the banknote outlet unit 8 as shown by the solid arrow in FIG. After all the specified number of 10,000 yen banknotes have been accumulated in the banknote outlet section 8 or the front/back reversing section 31, the banknotes A in the front/back reversing section 31 are moved on the holder 41, thereby operating a pinch roller (not shown) using a magnet. The bills are clamped with a belt and conveyed all at once to the bill exit section 8.

The impeller 40 at the banknote exit section normally has the function of slowing down and gently guiding and accumulating banknotes that enter one by one at high speed, but it also has the ability to guide banknotes in bulk within a predetermined number.

However, if this number is exceeded, they will fly out from the impeller 40 and cause stacking failure.

For this reason, during the extraction operation of banknotes A, the number of reverse banknotes A... from the inspection unit 30 is counted, and even if the number of sheets to be retrieved is within the specified number, the retrieval operation is stopped once the number of reverse banknotes A reaches the specified value. After transferring the back banknotes A from the front/back reversing part 31 to the banknote outlet part 8, the taking-out operation is continued again up to the specified number of banknotes.

In this manner, once the 10,000 yen bill A has been taken in from the 10,000 yen bill storage section 15, the same operation is performed for the 1,000 yen bill A from the 1,000 yen bill storage section 16.

Then, the 1,000 yen banknotes A are stacked on top of the 10,000 yen banknotes A, and when all of the banknotes have been taken in, the conveyor belt 7
1, 72, 73, 76, 77, 78 and the vacuum pump are stopped, and when the detector 35a detects that the teller has taken this bill A... The motors 95 of the separator mechanisms 26, 25 are rotated to advance the separator mechanisms 26, 25 until they are detected by the forward position detectors 101, 101, and then the rotary solenoids 93, 94 are rotated.
is turned OFF, the flappers 92a, 92b, 92c are set vertically, the motor 95 is reversed again, and the separator mechanisms 26, 25 are connected via the wire 99 until the separator mechanisms 26, 25 are detected by the initial position detectors 100, 100. Take it back. Then, the state shown in FIG. 2 is established.

Regarding the 5,000 yen bill storage section 14, when a reject bill A is received, the flappers 92a, 92b, 92c are leveled on the spot using exactly the same operation as the deposit accumulation operation, the separator mechanism 24 is advanced, and then the flappers 92a, 92b are moved forward. , 92c is raised and the separator mechanism 24 is returned to its original initial position by a motor, thereby allowing deposited 5,000 yen bills A and withdrawn rejected bills A to be stacked together.

When the banknotes A are taken out by the rotating rotors 60 and 61 serving as the takeout mechanism, the banknotes A are squeezed by the brake belts 89 and 89 to prevent double taking and taken in one by one. Or, the tip is stopped at a position slightly removed from 16. For this reason, if the operation of turning off the rotary solenoids 93, 93 for raising the upper and lower flaps 92a, 92b, 92c was performed immediately after loading was completed, all the banknotes A could not be returned to their original positions. there's a possibility that.

Therefore, the rotating rotor 60 as a take-out mechanism,
Once only the main shaft 50 holding the main shaft 61 has been taken in, the shaft is reversed for a while.

In this way, the brake belt 8 to prevent double removal
9, 89 and the ejecting tip 60a, 61a or 60b, 61b, and the banknote A whose head is slightly protruding is also completely returned to the original storage section. After this state, the upper and lower flaps 92a, 92
b, 92c, all banknotes A... can be pulled back by the flappers 92a, 92c, 92c and returned to the initial state.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the ejecting mechanism has been explained using a vacuum pump as an example, but the ejecting chips 60a, 61a,
If the material of 60b and 61b is made of a material with high friction, it is possible to sufficiently take in banknotes with only the frictional force of the rubber taking-in tip without using a vacuum.

In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a deposit/withdrawal device that stores banknotes inserted by a user and uses the stored banknotes as banknotes for withdrawal. a storage section for storing the banknotes carried in; a rotary take-out means provided opposite to the storage section for sequentially taking out the banknotes in the storage section as the storage section rotates; It has a movable flapper, a flapper driving means for rotating the flapper to a position for pressing and releasing the endmost banknote, and a moving means for moving the flapper in the stacking direction of banknotes. A partition means for forming a stacking space for stacking banknotes brought in by the carrying-in means between the banknotes at the end and the rotary take-out means, and after the end of the take-out operation by the rotary take-out means, the banknotes are rotated and taken out. The accumulation space is formed by the partitioning means after the means are reversed by a predetermined amount.

Therefore, despite the compact structure, banknotes can be stacked and taken out reliably, and newly stacked banknotes can be clearly distinguished from already stacked banknotes.
