Further, in the above description, different switches 50 and 51 are provided as means for recognizing the collective cassette 100 and the operation cassette 101. Instead, the collective cassette 100 and the operation cassette 101 have a memory. Therefore, by storing a unique number unique to each cassette in this memory and loading each cassette into the machine 1, the machine 1 automatically reads the unique number unique to each cassette from the memory, It is also possible to recognize the replacement of the cassette.

Next, the structure of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 will be described. The loading / unloading mechanisms 24 to 26 of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 correspond to the loading / unloading mechanism 32 of the batch cassette 100.
This is similar to the configuration in which the members related to the reversing conveyance path and the elevator means 33 in the upper stage are removed, and only the bills are inserted and removed. That is, the elevator means 38 to 40 provided below the input / output mechanisms 24 to 26 of the respective denomination cassettes 13 to 15 have the same configuration as the lower elevator means 34 in the batch cassette 100. The number of bills that can be stored in one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is set to be smaller than the number of bills that can be stored in one of the batch cassettes 100. In addition, the fullness sensors 13a to 13c, such as optical sensors, which detect that the banknotes of the storage limit are stored in the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, for example, from the stacking height of the stored banknotes on each of the elevator means 38 to 40. 13c are provided respectively.

Here, the feeding means 5, the first conveying path 6, the conveying paths 9 and 10, the reversing path 11, the second conveying path 17, and the conveying path 18
23, the input / output mechanisms 24-26, the third transport path 28, the connection transport paths 29-31, 35, and the input / output mechanism 32 are entirely a bill transport section 53, and the bill transport section 53 and the deposit discrimination section 7
The transfer discrimination control unit 55 is configured by the payment discrimination unit 27 and the control unit 54 that controls the operation and the like. The control unit 54 is connected to a display unit 56 and an operation unit 57 provided in a teller's machine separate from the machine body 1, and displays a count value for each denomination or a display urging an operation instruction to the display unit 56. It is displayed and accepts an operation instruction input by the operator via the operation unit 57. The display unit 56 and the operation unit 57 may be provided on the body 1 as a matter of course.

Next, various processes performed by the banknote depositing / dispensing machine under the control of the control unit 54 will be described. (1) Deposit processing, withdrawal processing, and replenishment processing that are normal operations (see FIGS. 3 and 4). As can be seen with reference to FIG.
00 is loaded. In the normal operation, the deposit processing performed on the transport route A (indicated by a bold line in FIG. 3) and the dispensing processing performed on the transport route B (indicated by a bold line in FIG. 3) are performed in parallel. It has become possible. Describing the deposit processing, when the deposit bills fed into the deposit port 2 are fed out one by one by the feeding means 5, the control unit 54 transfers the deposited bills to the first transport path 6.
And the receipt discriminating section 7 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, front / back and oblique, multiple feeds, etc., to be “true” and “front”.
All the banknotes discriminated from the first transport path 6 and the transport path 9
Are sequentially stored in the upper elevator means 33 in the batch cassette 100, and all the bills identified as “true” and “back” are sequentially passed through the first transport path 6 and the reversing path 11. Is temporarily stored in the upper elevator means 33 of the batch cassette 100. On the other hand, all reject bills discriminated as “false”, diagonal, multiple feed, etc. other than the discriminated as “true” are sent to the deposit reject port 3. In the batch cassette 100, only normal banknotes other than rejected banknotes are temporarily stored in a state of being sorted on both sides. Here, the batch cassette 100 and the reject cassette 16 are empty at the reference time such as at the start of the work, and the operation unit 57 indicates that the height at the reference time at the start of the work is 0. The control unit 54 stores the information by inputting via the.

Here, during the depositing process, the control unit 54 sorts only the normal banknotes which are discriminated as “true” by the deposit discriminating unit 7 and temporarily stored in the collective cassette 100 during the depositing process. When all of the bills inserted into the deposit opening 2 into the machine body 1 are completed, the control unit 54 sets the total amount of money on the side of the teller's machine based on the denomination count value. It is displayed on the display unit 56. After confirming the amount, when the operator presses the deposit confirmation key of the operation unit 57, the deposited banknotes temporarily stored on the upper elevator means 33 of the batch cassette 100 until then are transferred to the upper elevator means 33. It is dropped by lateral retreat and is accumulated on the lower elevator means 34. At the time when the deposit confirmation key is depressed, the denomination count value is stored in the control unit 54 and also in the memory of the batch cassette 100. In transferring the bills from the upper elevator means 33 to the lower elevator means 34, the topmost position of the bills already placed on the lower elevator 34 is located immediately below the upper elevator means 33. Until the lower elevator means 34 is raised, the upper elevator means 33 is retracted to the side, and then the lower elevator means 34 is lowered to complete the transfer of the bill.

Also, from the operation unit 57 of the tellers machine,
When the dispensing instruction is issued, the dispensing process is started, and bills corresponding to the dispensed amount are dispensed one by one from each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. Here, at a reference time point such as at the start of work, bills are automatically or manually loaded into each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 in a state where the number of denominations has been determined. Is stored in the control unit 54 by input through the operation unit 57 or the like. The dispensed banknotes fed from the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are transported from the transport paths 21 to 23 to the second transport path 17, and the denomination discrimination unit 27 in the middle of the second transport path 17 performs denomination and oblique. In this case, the normal banknote having no abnormality is conveyed to the dispensing port 4 as it is. As a result of the discrimination, the rejected banknote discriminated as having an abnormality such as oblique or multiple feed is not conveyed to the dispensing port 4 and the third conveyance path 28 and the connection conveyance path 2 are not conveyed.
9 are sequentially conveyed into the reject cassette 16 and stored therein.

Here, the control unit 54 counts and stores only banknotes which are discriminated from normal banknotes by the dispensing discriminating unit 27 during the dispensing process and which are conveyed to the dispensing port 4 for each denomination. On the other hand, the control unit 54 counts reject banknotes that are conveyed and stored in the reject cassette 16 during the dispensing process, and counts reject banknotes. For example, counting is performed using actual measurement values or estimated values according to the pattern of each abnormality, such as counting as double feed with a high incidence rate, and counting the approximate number of rejected banknotes stored in the reject cassette 16 by denomination And memorize. If the denomination cannot be discriminated, the denomination is not counted and ignored, or the estimated denomination banknotes of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are counted, and the approximate number is counted and stored.

As shown in FIG. 4 by a heavy-line transport route C,
At the time of normal operation, if it is detected that the bill storage amount of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 has become equal to or less than a predetermined amount, the control unit is controlled on the condition that the transaction (payment processing, payment processing) is not being performed. Reference numeral 54 denotes a process for replenishing banknotes from the batch cassette 100 to each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. That is, a state in which the lower elevator means 34 in the batch cassette 100 is raised and the accumulated bills on the elevator means 34 are brought into contact with the feeding roller of the input / output mechanism 32 (at this time, the upper elevator means 33 is retracted. ) To feed out from the batch cassette 100. Then, the banknotes fed from the batch cassette 100 are sent to the deposit discriminating section 7 through the transport path 10, the connection transport path 35, and the first transport path 6, and further discriminated by the deposit discriminating section 7, and based on the discrimination result. Then, only normal banknotes having no abnormalities are sequentially passed through the connection transport path 30, the third transport path 28, and the transport paths 18 to 20, and then into the denomination cassettes 13 to 15.
Sort by money type and replenish. At this time, the bills discriminated as abnormal by the deposit discriminating unit 7 such as oblique or multiple feed are sorted and stored in the reject cassette 16 through the connection transport path 29.

Here, during the replenishment processing, the money discriminating section 7 discriminates the banknotes from normal banknotes, and the denomination cassettes 13 to 1
The control unit 54 counts and stores only the banknotes sorted by denomination to 5 at the time of discrimination. On the other hand, the control unit 54 counts reject banknotes that are conveyed and stored in the reject cassette 16 during the replenishment process, for those that can be counted, such as diagonal feed, and those that are multiple feed, most For example, counting is performed with an actual measured value or an estimated value according to the pattern of each abnormality, such as counting as double feed having a high incidence rate, and the approximate number of rejected banknotes stored in the reject cassette 16 is counted. Remember. Items for which denomination cannot be discriminated are not counted and ignored. As a result, the denomination count value of the memory of the batch cassette 100 is calculated from the value stored in the memory before the replenishment processing by the estimated number of denominations of the rejected banknotes and the number of denominations distributed to the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. The value will be stored again in the subtracted value.

This replenishment process is immediately interrupted when a deposit or withdrawal command is issued. The determination as to whether or not the amount of bills stored in each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 may be equal to or less than a predetermined amount may be made based on the counted value of the number of bills inserted into and out of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, It may be performed by directly detecting the accumulation amount of bills from the accumulation height of the stored bills on each of the elevator means 38 to 40 by an optical sensor provided in the denomination cassettes 13 to 15.

(2) High-indexing processing of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 (see FIGS. 4 to 7). First, at a reference time, such as at the start of a job, the lump sum of the batch cassette 100, the reject cassette 16, and the denomination cassettes 13 to 15,
That is, the height of the entire body 1 is determined,
The banknotes discriminated from the rejected banknotes other than the normal banknotes in the received banknotes by the depositing discrimination unit 7 are all refunded to the outside through the rejection port 3, and only the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes in the deposited banknotes are all the control unit. 54, each denomination is counted.
Since only the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes among the dispensed banknotes to be dispensed from to 15 and counted for each denomination are to be paid out to the outside from the dispensing port 4, the whole of the entire body 1 thereafter. The price of each denomination has also been determined. Then, when the operation of the day is completed and an instruction to perform the processing of determining the amount of money is input from the teller to the operation unit 57, the control unit 54 calculates the approximate amount of money and the total amount of the cassettes 13 to 15 by money. Cassette 10
Calculate the approximate amount of money for each denomination of 0. That is, for each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, the position is determined at a reference time, such as at the start of business, and from the state in which the position is determined,
The dispensed number of dispensed money is stored in the control unit 54 for each denomination in a fixed state, and the stored number of sheets for replenishment processing is also stored in the control unit 54 in a fixed state. In addition, at the time of dispensing from each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, the number of rejected rejections of the denomination is also estimated and stored in the control unit 54 as described above in an uncertain state of including the estimated value. I have. Thus, for each denomination, the estimated amount of the replenishment process is added to the initial confirmed amount, and the number of confirmed withdrawals and the estimated number of rejections are subtracted, so that the estimated amount of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is calculated. Ask for.

In the batch cassette 100, the amount of money is determined to be 0 at the reference time such as at the start of business, and only the normal banknotes stored among the deposited banknotes are counted by denomination and controlled. It is stored in a fixed state in the memory of the unit 54 and the batch cassette 100. In addition, at the time of feeding from the batch cassette 100 during the replenishment process, the number of sheets stored in each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is stored in the control unit 54 in a fixed state.
The rejected number of denominations stored in No. 6 is also estimated and stored in the control unit 54 as described above, while being in an uncertain state including an estimated value. Thus, for each denomination, the denomination cassette 13 to
15 and the estimated number of rejections of the replenishment process is subtracted from the determined number of replenishment bills stored in each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, thereby obtaining an approximate total amount of the batch cassette 100. Araka is the control unit 54
And stored in the memory of the batch cassette 100. In addition,
If the replenishment process is not performed, the height of the batch cassette 100 is determined. Then, based on the estimated money amount of each denomination of the batch cassette 100 and the estimated money amount of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, the batch cassette 100 and the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are obtained.
Is calculated for each denomination, and the estimated total denomination a is set to a predetermined number b (provided that the number of cassettes 13 to 15 is less than the full number). ), And the rejected number d for rejecting banknotes of c (c = ab) exceeding the predetermined number b for each denomination exceeding the predetermined number b.
(E.g., d = c) is set, and the following processes (1) to (4) are performed according to the state at the start of the high-income indexing process.

At the start of the high-value indexing process, there is a denomination in which the approximate total amount a exceeds the predetermined number b and the number of rejected numbers d is larger than the approximate amount e of the corresponding one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. Case. The control unit 54 calculates an insufficient number f (f = d−e) by subtracting the approximate amount e from the excluded number d for the corresponding denomination, and calculates the insufficient number f.
The supplementary number g (g = f + α) is set, and the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted while being discriminated from the batch cassette 100 by the transfer discriminating unit 7 by the transfer route C shown in FIG. Cassette 13 for money type g
The first exclusion process is performed in which the rejected banknotes are sent to be stored in the corresponding denominations, and the rejected banknotes are stored in the reject cassette 16 in the meantime. Then, when the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are stored in the corresponding denomination cassettes 13 to 15 of the additional number g, the first exclusion process is completed. Here, when there are a plurality of applicable denominations, for all of these denominations, bills are fed out from the collective cassette 100 until the additional number g is stored in the corresponding one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. Will be. If the banknotes in the batch cassette 100 run out during the first elimination process, the control unit 34 forcibly ends the first exclusion process. here,
The detection of the empty state of the batch cassette 100 is performed, for example, by the occurrence of a state in which the passage of bills in the deposit discriminating unit 7 is not performed for a predetermined time.

At the start of the high-value indexing process, there are denominations of which the approximate total amount a exceeds the predetermined number b, and the rejected number d of all the corresponding denominations is equal to or less than the approximate amount e of the denomination cassette. Or when the first exclusion process is performed. The control unit 54 first causes the display unit 56 to display a message that the batch cassette 100 and the empty operation cassette 101 are to be replaced. Then, the operator operates the batch cassette 100 and the empty operation cassette 101 according to the instruction.
Exchange with With this exchange, the operation cassette switch 5
When the control unit 54 receives the ON signal from the transfer cassette D, the control unit 54 uses the transport route D shown by the thick line in FIG.
5, the banknotes are discriminated from the corresponding denominations by the withdrawal discrimination unit 27, and the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are stored in the operation cassette 101 for the number of rejected sheets d, and the reject banknotes are sent between the banknotes. A second exclusion process of storing all the banknotes discriminated from the reject cassette 16 is performed. When the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are stored in the operation cassette 101 for the number of excluded sheets d, the second exclusion process is completed. Here, when there are a plurality of applicable denominations, the second exclusion process is performed for each of the denominations. At the same time, the second exclusion process is performed while adjusting the dispensing timing so as not to cause interference in the bill transport unit 53. The processing may be performed, or the second exclusion processing may be separately performed. After performing the second exclusion process as described above, the control unit 54 displays the operation cassette 1 on the display unit 56.
01 and the batch cassette 100 are displayed. Then, the operator exchanges the operation cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 according to the instruction. By this replacement, the batch cassette switch 50 is turned on. At this time, the rejected number d of the denomination, which is the result of performing the second rejection process, is stored in the memory of the operation cassette 101.

When the second exclusion processing is completed, or when there is no denomination whose estimated total money a exceeds the predetermined number b at the start of the money determination processing. When it is confirmed that the batch cassette 100 is loaded by turning on the batch cassette switch 50, the control unit 54 proceeds to FIG.
Using the transfer route C shown in FIG. 5, all the banknotes in the batch cassette 100 are discriminated by the deposit discriminating unit 7 while discriminated from normal banknotes and all the banknotes counted for each denomination are all transferred to the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. An emptying process is performed in which the rejected banknotes are stored in the reject cassette 16 while only the banknotes discriminated from the rejected banknotes are stored. Then, with the batch cassette 100 once emptied in this way, as shown in FIG. 6, basically, all bills in one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are not discriminated. The transport route E for storing only the banknotes of the denomination cassette 13 in the collective cassette 100 is indicated by a bold line in FIG. 6, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. All bills are sent out while being discriminated by the deposit discriminating unit 7, and only bills discriminated from normal bills and counted are stored in the one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, and only bills discriminated from reject bills are rejected. An indexing process is performed to determine the value of the banknote in the one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 by storing all of the banknotes in the cassette 16 (see FIG. 7). Gold bill of bulk cassette 100 Te type cassette 1
3 is indicated by a bold line). Such an indexing process is sequentially performed on all the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, so that all the denomination cassettes 13
The value of the banknotes within ~ 15 is determined and determined.
At this time, each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 1
The number of banknotes in 5 is almost the same as the predetermined number b.

As described above, when there is no denomination whose estimated total amount a exceeds the predetermined number b at the start of the high-value indexing process, all the banknotes in the collective cassette 100 are discriminated by the depositing discrimination unit 7 while normalizing. In a state where the collective cassette 100 is emptied by performing an emptying process of storing all the banknotes discriminated from the banknotes and counted for each denomination in each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, All the banknotes in one of them are stored in the batch cassette 100, and thereafter, while all the banknotes in the batch cassette 100 are discriminated by the depositing discriminating unit 7, only the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are collected. By performing an indexing process for storing the bills in the one of the type cassettes 13 to 15, the value of the banknotes in the one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is determined. Then, such an indexing process is sequentially performed on the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 to determine the positions of all the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. Also, when the estimated total amount a exceeds the predetermined number b at the start of the indexing process, and there is a denomination whose rejected number d is larger than the approximated amount e of the corresponding one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. Stores the additional number g of supplementing the insufficient number f obtained by subtracting the estimated amount e from the rejected number d in the corresponding denomination among the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 for the relevant denomination. By performing the first exclusion process that sends the shortage number f, the deficit number f is reduced by the denomination cassettes 13-1.
5, the processing is performed in a state where the number of removed sheets d is less than or equal to the estimated amount e, that is, a state where the second removal processing is possible. On the other hand, if the estimated total amount a exceeds the predetermined number b from the start of the high-value indexing process, the rejected number d is changed to the denomination cassettes 13 to 1.
In the case of only the denomination of which the denomination of the corresponding denomination of 5 is equal to or less than e, since the second exclusion process is possible, the process is performed as it is. Then, by executing the second exclusion process, it is determined that there is no denomination in which the estimated total amount a exceeds the predetermined number b. Thereafter, after performing the above-described emptying process, all denominations are performed. Execute the indexing process.

As described above, the banknotes of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 can be determined and stored in the control unit 54, and the banknotes with the determined banknotes can be left in the machine for operation on the next day. The banknotes can be left in the machine for a long time for operation. In addition, if the predetermined number b is a number that fills each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, it is possible to prevent an overflow from occurring in any of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 during the emptying process. can do. In addition, as the predetermined number b, each denomination cassette 13
To 15 loaded at the start of the job (each cassette 13
If the number of sheets to be filled is smaller than the number of sheets that fills up to 15, the number of sheets required for starting the job can be made to exist in each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 in a fixed state after the high-indexing process.

At a reference time, such as at the start of work,
The storage amounts of the banknotes in the batch cassette 100, the reject cassette 16, and each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are predetermined, and the denomination and the number of coins determined in the depositing and dispensing processes are deposited and dispensed as described above. Therefore, the amount of money for each denomination of the entire body 1 is determined, and in addition to this, the payment discriminating unit is included in all processing of withdrawal processing, replenishment processing, and high-priced indexing processing, excluding payment processing. 7 and withdrawal discrimination unit 27
Banknotes discriminated from reject banknotes when discriminated in (i.e., except for refunding to the deposit reject port 3,
Since the rejected banknotes are all stored in the same reject cassette 16 in the machine body 1, the control unit 54 performs the indexing process on all the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, , Operation cassette 10
When there is no banknote removed in 1, the denomination of each denomination cassette 13 to 15 determined by the indexing process is subtracted from the denomination of all denominations, and the operation is performed again. If there are banknotes removed in the cassette 101, each of the denomination cassettes 13 determined by the indexing process
The amount of the denominations in the reject cassette 16 is determined by subtracting the denominations of the denominations of ~ 15 and the rejected number of each denomination in the operation cassette 101 from the total denominations of the denominations. Can be determined. As described above, the amount of money in the reject cassette 16 can be determined and determined. And operation cassette 1
When the operation cassette 101 is used, the operation cassette 101 is recovered in a state in which the height is determined, and the reject cassette 16 is also removed from the machine 1 in a state in which the height is determined and recovered, and is emptied for the next day's business. Will be fitted instead.

Here, during the first elimination process, one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 may become full and the process may be forcibly stopped. For this reason, during the first elimination process, the control unit 54 detects that one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is full by one of the full sensors 13a to 15a and outputs a detection signal. When output, there are denominations whose rejected number d has not yet reached the estimated value e of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, but the first rejection processing is temporarily stopped at that time, and Will be performed. 'First, the display unit 56 displays a message indicating that the batch cassette 100 and the empty operation cassette 101 are to be replaced. Then, the operator operates the batch cassette 100 according to the instruction.
And the operation cassette 101 are exchanged. Upon receiving the ON signal from the operation cassette switch 51 by this exchange, the control unit 54 determines the approximate total available amount a among the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 using the transport route D indicated by the thick line in FIG. A banknote of a denomination exceeding a predetermined number b,
While discriminating by the withdrawal discriminating unit 27, only the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are equal to the number of removed sheets d by the number of operation cassettes 101.
The bill is discriminated from the rejected bill while being stored in the reject cassette 16. However, for the denominations whose rejected number d has not yet become less than the approximate available height e of the corresponding denomination cassettes 13 to 15, the denomination cassettes are stored in the operation cassette 101 by the number of rejections d. A state occurs in which one of the denominations 13 to 15 becomes empty. For this denomination, the provisional number h is the amount stored in the operation cassette 101. The detection of the empty state of each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is performed, for example, by the occurrence of a state where the passage detection of the banknote of the corresponding denomination in the withdrawal discrimination unit 27 is not performed for a predetermined time. . When the control unit 54 detects that one of the rejected sheets d has been stored in the operation cassette 101 and that one of the cassettes 13 to 15 has been emptied, the above processing is performed. To end.

Next, the display unit 56 displays a message to the effect that the operating cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 are to be replaced. Then, the operator exchanges the operation cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 according to the instruction. Upon receiving the ON signal from the batch cassette switch 50 by this exchange, the control unit 54 sets the exclusion number d for the denomination in which the provisional number h less than the exclusion number is stored in the operation cassette 101.
The number obtained by subtracting the provisional number h from the number is set as a new excluded number d.
5, the first exclusion process using the transport route C shown in FIG. 4 is performed again for the denominations. Again, if there is more than one denomination,
A first exclusion process is performed. The above is for cassettes 13 by money type.
In a state where any one of 15 is full and banknotes cannot be sent from the batch cassette 100 to the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 any more, the banknotes are stored in the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 at that time. The first exclusion process is performed again only for the denominations for which the exclusion number d cannot be completely eliminated in the range where the exclusion number d cannot be eliminated, and the shortage of the exclusion number from the batch cassette 100 is determined by the denomination cassette 13.
The money is sent out to the corresponding denomination among 15 to 15 and stored.

Thereafter, the batch cassette 100 is displayed on the display section 56.
And a message indicating that the operation cassette 101 is to be exchanged. Then, the operator exchanges the batch cassette 100 and the operation cassette 101 according to the instruction. Upon receiving an ON signal from the operation cassette switch 51 by this exchange, the control unit 54 uses the transport route D shown in FIG.
Of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, the banknotes are discriminated from the denominations by the dispensing discrimination unit 27, and the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are stored in the operation cassette 101 by the newly set rejection number. A second exclusion process is performed.
Here, if there are a plurality of denominations, the second exclusion process is performed for each of the denominations. After that, the display unit 56 displays a message indicating that the operation cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 are to be replaced. Then, the operator exchanges the operation cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 according to the instruction. With this replacement, the batch cassette switch 50
Upon receiving the N signal, the control unit 54 performs the above-described emptying process using the transport route C shown in FIG. 4, and then performs the above-described indexing process (see FIGS. 6 and 7) on all the denomination cassettes. 13 to 15 are sequentially performed.

As described above, if any one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 becomes full during the first elimination process, no further distribution is possible. In the exchanged operation cassette 101,
Normal bills and bills discriminated and counted by the withdrawal discriminating unit 27 are sent to be stored in the operation cassette by the number of rejected sheets d, and those less than the rejected sheets d are provisionally rejected,
Again, the shortage obtained by subtracting the provisional number h temporarily removed from the rejection number d from the batch cassette 100 is stored as a new rejection number d in the corresponding denomination of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15. I will send you. Therefore, during the first exclusion process, the denomination cassettes 13 to 15
Even if any one of them becomes full, it can respond.

In the above-described indexing process, when all bills in one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are stored in the batch cassette 100, the bills are sent out while being discriminated by the dispensing discriminating section 27. Alternatively, the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted may be stored in the batch cassette 100, and the banknotes discriminated from the reject banknotes may be stored in the reject cassette 16. With this control, discrimination is performed even when all the banknotes in one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are stored in the batch cassette 100 during the indexing process. It is possible to prevent adverse effects due to rejected bills when sending from the cassette 100 to the one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A description will be given based on FIG. In the second embodiment,
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the control content of the high-indexing process of the control unit 54 is partially different, and the other points are the same as the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, when the work of the day is completed and an instruction to perform the high-priced indexing process is input from the teller to the operation unit 57, the control unit 54
Starts the indexing process for each of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 by first performing the above-described emptying process using the transport route C shown in FIG. Then, if this emptying process is performed without overflowing any of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, the above-described indexing process is sequentially performed on all the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 as it is.

On the other hand, if any one of the fullness sensors 13a to 13c detects that any one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 is full during the emptying process, the control unit 54 starts the operation. In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the emptying process is temporarily interrupted, and the estimated amount including the estimated value of each denomination of the banknotes stored in the reject cassette 16 is calculated. 13 to 15 are calculated, and the total cassette 1 is determined from the total position of each denomination of the batch cassette 100 and the approximate total of each denomination cassette 13 to 15.
The estimated total amount a, which is the sum of 00 and the denomination cassettes 13 to 15, is determined for each denomination. Then, the denomination number d is set such that the denomination exceeding the predetermined number b is determined and the amount exceeding the predetermined number b is rejected. Next, the display unit 56 displays a message indicating that the batch cassette 100 and the operation cassette 101 are to be replaced. Then, the operator exchanges the batch cassette 100 and the operation cassette 101 according to the instruction.
Upon receiving the ON signal from the operation cassette switch 51 by this exchange, the control unit 54 uses the transport route D shown in FIG.
Withdrawal discrimination unit 2
While discriminating in step 7, the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted are sent to be stored in the operation cassette 101 for the number of rejected sheets d, and during that time, the banknotes discriminated from the rejected banknotes are stored in the reject cassette 16. Here, when any one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 becomes full, denominations whose rejected number d has not yet become equal to or less than the approximate amount e of the corresponding denomination cassette 13 to 15 are determined. In some cases, the denomination of the denomination among the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 becomes empty before the denomination is stored in the operation cassette 101 by the number of removed sheets d. For this reason, the control unit 54 sets the rejection number d for all the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 by
When either one of the fact that the storage in the operation cassette 101 has been completed and the fact that the storage cassette has been emptied is detected, the above exclusion process is terminated. After that, the display unit 56 displays a message indicating that the operation cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 are to be replaced. Then, the operator exchanges the operation cassette 101 and the batch cassette 100 according to the instruction. Upon receiving an ON signal from the batch cassette switch 50 by this replacement, the control unit 54 restarts the above-described emptying process using the transport route C shown in FIG. Until the emptying process is completed in this way, that is, until the deposit discriminating unit 7 detects that the batch cassette 100 is empty, the control unit 54 starts and suspends the emptying process and removes the emptying process. Will be repeated. When the exclusion process is repeated, every time one exclusion process is started, the control unit 54 calculates the approximate total amount a by the amount stored in the operation cassette 101 in the previous exclusion process and the reject cassette 1.
The calculation is performed again so as to remove the rejected number 6, and the number of excluded sheets d is reset based on the calculation. After the completion of the emptying process, the above-described indexing process (see FIGS. 6 and 7) is performed for all the denomination cassettes 13.
-15 are sequentially performed.

According to the second embodiment, if any one of the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 becomes full during the emptying process, the batch cassette 100 and the denomination cassette 13 The denominations of which the estimated total amount a including the corresponding one of 〜15 to 〜15 exceeds a predetermined number b is determined, and the denomination cassettes 13 to 15 are discriminated from the normal denominations by the denominations. The bills counted and counted are
Finally, the rejected number d for excluding the portion exceeding the predetermined number b is stored in the operation cassette 101 replaced with the batch cassette 100. Therefore, substantially the same effects as in the first embodiment can be exerted.

As described in detail above, claim 1 of the present invention
According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device described, all the banknotes in the batch cassette are sent out while being discriminated, and the banknotes discriminated from normal banknotes are stored in each denomination cassette by denomination, and the batch cassette is emptied. In this state, all the banknotes in the one denomination cassette are sent out and stored in the batch cassette, and then all the banknotes in the batch cassette are sent out while being discriminated and discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted. By storing the bills in the denomination cassette, the value of the banknotes in the one denomination cassette is determined. Then, such processing is sequentially performed for all the denomination cassettes. Therefore, the amount of money of the denomination cassette can be determined, and the banknote having the determined value can be left in the machine for operation on the next day, so that the banknote can be left in the machine for a long period of operation.

According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device of the second aspect of the present invention, after the indexing process is performed for all the denomination cassettes, the denomination of each denomination cassette determined by the indexing process is performed. By subtracting the money amount from the money amount of the entire money type, the money amount of the money type in the reject cassette is determined. As described above, it is possible to determine the amount of money of the denomination in the reject cassette.

According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device of the third aspect of the present invention, there is a denomination for which the total sum of the total amount of the batch cassette and the denomination cassette exceeds a predetermined number. If there is a denomination whose rejected number that excludes more than the number of denominations is larger than the estimated cash amount of the denomination cassette, add the additional number of the denominations to compensate for the shortage amount obtained by subtracting the estimated cash amount from the rejected number. While performing the first exclusion process of sending the cassette to be stored in the denomination cassette of the denomination, if only the denominations whose rejected number is equal to or less than the estimated amount of the denomination cassette from the beginning, or When the exclusion process was performed and only the denominations whose rejected number was equal to or less than the estimated value of the denomination cassette were used, the banknotes discriminated from the normal banknotes and counted were exchanged for the rejected number with the batch cassette. To be housed in use cassette. Therefore, if the predetermined number of sheets is used to fill each denomination cassette, overflow does not occur in the denomination cassette when performing the emptying process. In addition, if the number of loaded cassettes at the start of work for each denomination cassette is adopted as the predetermined number, the number of loaded sheets at the start of work after indexing processing is present in each denomination cassette.

According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, if any one of the denomination cassettes becomes full during the first elimination process, no further distribution is possible. Once the operation cassette, which has been replaced with the batch cassette, is sent to the operation cassette for storing the banknotes discriminated and counted from the normal banknotes by the rejected number, and even those less than the rejected number are provisionally rejected.
