Next, if there is a bill or counterfeit bill that has been sent to the exclusion port 20 due to indeterminability (double feed, etc.) in the above operation, and you want to replenish and load a small amount of bills, When a bill is loaded in the deposit port 2, the operations of the following steps S22 to S32 are performed as shown in FIG.

<Step S22> It is determined whether or not a bill is loaded in the deposit port 2. If loaded, the process proceeds to step S23, and if not loaded, the process proceeds to step S33.

<Step S23> The deposit route 4 is operated to feed the banknotes from the deposit port 2 to the conveyor belt 6, and the same operations as in steps S5 to S12, that is, discrimination, inventory calculation, and distribution are performed, and the process proceeds to step S24.

<Step S24> Judging whether or not the banknotes of the storage limit are loaded in the pool units 17 to 19 or the exclusion port 20, and if the pool units 17 to 19 are the storage limit, the process proceeds to step S25 and the exclusion port 20 is the storage limit. In case of, it progresses to step S27, and in other cases, it progresses to step S29.

<Step S25> Stop feeding the banknotes from the deposit port 2, and then step S26
Proceed to.

<Step S26> Pool gate 17 of pool section 17 to 19 that is the storage limit
Open A to 19A to stack banknotes in pool section 17 to 19
Store in 26 and proceed to step S29.

<Step S27> Stop feeding the banknotes from the deposit port 2 and proceed to step S28.
Proceed to.

<Step S28> If the banknotes in the removal port 20 are removed, the process proceeds to step S29, and if not, the progress of the operation is stopped at this step.

<Step S29> It is determined whether or not the bill remains in the deposit port 2. If the bill remains, the process returns to step S23, and if not, the process proceeds to step S30.

<Step S30> The feeding from the deposit port 2 is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S31.

<Step S31> It is determined whether bills remain in the pool units 17 to 19, and if they remain, the process proceeds to step S32, and if not, the process proceeds to step S33.

<Step S32> Pool gate 17A of pool sections 17 to 19 in which banknotes remain
~ 19A is opened and the bills in the pool section 17 to 19 are stacked 24
Store in ~ 26 and proceed to step S33.

By the operations of steps S22 to S32, the automatic loading can be performed from the deposit port 2 as in the case of the dispensing storage unit 26B.

Finally, if there is a banknote in the removal port 20, after removing it, the deposit stacker 26 is detached and attached to the deposit storage 26.
If the five thousand tickets stored in A are transferred to the withdrawal storage section 26B, the following steps S33 to S37 are performed and the automatic loading operation is completed, as shown in FIG.

<Step S33> If the banknotes in the removal port 20 have been removed, step S3
Proceed to 4, otherwise stall the progress of the action at this step.

<Step S34> Based on the signal from the attachment / detachment detecting means, it is determined whether or not the deposit stacker 26 has been removed.
Proceed to S35, and if not, stop the progress of the operation at this step.

<Step S35> Here, the operation of transferring the five thousand tickets stored in the deposit storage section 26A to the withdrawal storage section 28B is performed. (This step is not the operation of the control device or the device main body 1 but unconditionally proceeds to step S36.) <Step S36> It is determined whether or not the deposit stacker 26 is loaded, and if loaded, the process proceeds to step S37, Otherwise, the progress of the operation is stagnated at this step.

<Step S37> The sky detection unit 102 sends a signal to the inventory amount memory 103 to determine the inventory amount value of the inventory amount memory 103, and the operation ends.

The circulation type banknote depositing / dispensing machine of the present embodiment described above, when the banknotes are loaded into each stacker, the banknote loading to the stacker by hand may be performed only for the depositing stacker 26,
And since you may load it with various banknotes mixed,
Loading work is very easy.

Further, since the number of banknotes to be loaded is calculated and stored in the inventory memory, it is not necessary for a person to count the number of banknotes to be loaded.

Also, using the deposit stacker 26 for multiple purposes, namely,
The withdrawal storage section 26B is used for storing 5000 notes for withdrawal and for withdrawing during automatic loading, and the withdrawal storage section 26A is used for storing 5000 notes during automatic loading and with 5000 notes received during withdrawal By using it for storing, the apparatus main body 1 is made up of three stackers, that is, a stack of 24 million bills, a stack of 1,000 bills 25, and a stacker 26 of deposits, which is very small.

Further, when it is desired to replenish and load a small amount of bills, if the bills are loaded into the deposit port 2, they are automatically loaded into each stacker similarly to the case where the bills are fed from the deposit stacker 26. Deposit stacker for loading banknotes
It also has the effect that it is not necessary to remove 26.

In addition, in this embodiment, at the end of the loading operation, the deposit storage unit 26A is
It is necessary to manually transfer the 5,000 tickets from the withdrawal storage section 26B to the withdrawal storage section 26B.For example, the middle partition mounting plate 29 is provided with an openable and closable gate similar to the gate 17A, and the last step of the loading operation. Then, by opening the gate, the five thousand tickets may be automatically transferred from the deposit storage section 26A to the withdrawal storage section 26B.

"Effects of the Invention" In the circulation-type bill depositing / dispensing machine of the present invention, loading of bills into the respective storage boxes is performed substantially automatically by the automatic loading instruction means, and bills are manually loaded into the storage box by intermediate partitioning Since it is only necessary to perform the operation for the storage box provided with the placing plate and the various bills may be loaded in a mixed state, the bill loading operation of the bill depositing / dispensing machine is very easy.

Further, since the number of bills loaded is calculated by the money amount calculating means, it is not necessary for a person to count the number of bills loaded.

Further, according to the present invention, the number of denominations of banknotes handled as a storage box is the same as that of the banknotes, and one of the removable storage boxes is provided with a middle partition mounting plate. The deposit receiving unit located on the upper side of the partition mounting plate and the withdrawal storing unit located on the lower side of the middle partition mounting plate are formed. And
By operating the withdrawal route and the withdrawal route by the automatic loading instruction means, the banknotes loaded in the withdrawal storage unit are sent out from the withdrawal storage unit and are classified, and the withdrawal storage unit and other storage of the one storage box are performed. The boxes are automatically loaded separately for each type. Accordingly, even if the storage boxes are provided with the same number of denominations as the banknotes to be handled, the banknotes loaded in one storage box can be sorted and separately stored for all the denominations. In addition, after all the banknotes in the withdrawal storage section have been sent out by the automatic loading instruction means as described above, among the banknotes that have been classified and loaded, the banknotes loaded into the deposit storage section of the one storage box are If the money is transferred to the withdrawal storage section of the one storage box, the withdrawal control means stores the withdrawal storage section of the one storage box and the corresponding one of the other storage boxes during the withdrawal operation. You will have to withdraw the banknotes that are present. Thereby, even if the storage box is provided with the same number as the denominations of the bills to be handled, the bills of all denominations can be dispensed.
In this way, the withdrawal storage unit can be used both for paying out during automatic loading and for storing banknotes of one denomination for withdrawal, and with the deposit storage unit for banknotes of one denomination during automatic loading. The storage box can be used for multiple purposes and efficiently. Therefore, the banknotes loaded in one storage box can be sorted and stored separately for all denominations, and the banknotes of all denominations can be dispensed, and the number of storage boxes can be changed. It is possible to make the apparatus main body of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device very small, as compared with the conventional one.

In addition, the automatic loading instruction means also has a function of operating the depositing route to load the bills loaded in the deposit opening for depositing the bills into the corresponding storage boxes, so that It is possible to easily load a small amount of bills, such as the amount of bills, which has been eliminated due to double feeding, etc., into each storage box through the deposit port.
