Each of the temporary storages 41a to 41d is provided with a flapper 45a to 45d, a shutter 47 and the like. The banknotes sent to the temporary stacking unit are stacked on the flappers 45a and 45b, and when a predetermined number of the banknotes are stacked, the flappers 45a and 45b are opened and the stacked banknotes fall onto the flappers 45c and 45d. Further, when the accumulation of the banknotes reaches a predetermined number, the flappers 45c and 45d are opened, and the accumulation banknotes are accumulated on the shutter 47. Further, when the accumulation of the banknotes is continued and the temporary storage is full, the shutter 47 opens right and left, and the stacked banknotes fall into the banknote storages 48a to 48d.

Openable and closable separators 49 are provided in each of the bill storage sheds 48a to 48d, and bills dropped from the temporary storage are dropped on the separators 49 and stacked.
The banknotes moved into the banknote storages 48a to 48d move downward in the banknote storage together with the separator 49 by a separator vertical drive mechanism (not shown) while being placed on the separator 49. When there is an existing banknote in the banknote storage, the separator 49 stops on the stored banknote.

In this state, the separator 49 is opened by a separator rotation drive mechanism (not shown) and retracts from the bill stacking section. As a result, the deposited banknotes accumulated on the separator 49 fall onto the stored banknotes and are stored in the banknote stacker. By the above series of operations, the deposited bill is
The money is stored in a predetermined banknote storage corresponding to the denomination, and the deposit operation ends.

Next, the dispensing operation of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 will be described. The dispensing operation is performed by the bill storages 48a to 48d.
Is sent to the dispensing port 14. That is, the withdrawal start instruction is issued by the tellers machine 1a.
When transmitted from (1b) to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2, the control unit of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 drives the takeout mechanism 56 of the banknote storage 48 in which the payout banknotes are accumulated. This take-out mechanism 56
Has the same configuration as the intake mechanism 29 provided in the insertion port 11.

The bills stored in the bill storage 48 are taken out by the take-out mechanism 5.
6, the banknotes are taken out one by one, and the number of the taken out banknotes is counted by the sensor 57. When the count reaches the specified number of payments, the take-out mechanism 56 stops driving, and the take-out ends. The taken-out banknotes are conveyed to the dispensing inspection unit 59 through a conveyance path 58 provided below the banknote storage. The dispensing inspection unit 59 takes out two bills and checks the denomination, and if there is no problem, sends the bill to the upper dispensing conveyance path. At this time, if there is a problem with the banknote, an instruction for additional removal is issued to the removal mechanism. After passing through the withdrawal inspection section 59, the banknote passes through the scrutiny gate 35h, then enters the upper-level withdrawal conveyance path, and is moved by the sealing gate 35i.
It is conveyed toward the dispensing port 14.

Of the bills conveyed to the dispensing port 14 side,
The banknote determined to have a problem in the withdrawal inspection is sorted to the withdrawal reject box 13 by the withdrawal reject gate 35j, and the banknote to be withdrawn is the withdrawal reject gate 35j.
Is accumulated in the dispensing port 14. When the designated banknotes have been accumulated in the outlet 14, the electromagnetic lock (not shown) is released, the outlet is opened, and the banknotes can be taken out. This completes the dispensing process.

The bills in the bill storage 48 are usually
With the weight of the bill itself, it is pressed against the feed roller of the take-out mechanism 56 and stable take-out is performed. However, when the remaining amount of the bill decreases, the backup mechanism 60 provided in the bill storage is driven, and the bill storage is operated. The bills inside can be pushed from above. This bill remaining amount is detected by detecting the position of the bill upper surface in the bill storages 48a to 48d by a sensor (not shown).

Next, the safe inspection in the safe will be described.
The safe inspection is a task of counting the number of banknotes stored in each of the banknote storages 48a to 48d. The purpose is.

When there is a close inspection request from the teller's machine 1a or 1b, first, the taking out of the bills in one of the bill storages 48a to 48d is started. The picked-up bills are discriminated by the dispensing inspection unit 58, and the discriminable bills are accumulated in any of the temporary storage boxes 41a to 41d located above the taken-out bill storage boxes 48a to 48d. The banknotes that cannot be determined are accumulated in the withdrawal reject box 13, but there is no problem even in the temporary accumulation boxes 41a to 41d above the non-target banknote storage boxes 48.

When the banknotes accumulated in the temporary bins 41a to 41d are full, the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage bins 48a to 48d in the same process as when the banknotes are deposited.
9 and 49 do not rotate even after being stored, and separate the scrutinized banknote from the pre-scrutinized banknote. In this state, the banknotes are taken out until the pre-check banknotes are exhausted, and all the banknotes are taken out and inspected to determine the banknotes in the banknote storages 48a to 48d. At this time, the bill storages 48a to 48
If the remaining amount of bills in 8d is large, the shutter 47 cannot be closed, but the bills can be inspected with the shutter 47 opened. When the close inspection is performed with the shutter 47 opened as described above, the accumulation temporary storage 41 can have a large capacity by the operation of the separators 49, 49.
without stopping taking out from a-48d,
There is an advantage that scrutiny can be performed.

Next, there are many deposited bills, and the bill storages 48a-48
When the number of banknotes in 48d increases, the operation of automatically transferring the banknotes in the banknote storage to the small bundle processing device 3 is performed. Sealing the banknotes in the banknote storages 48a to 48d is referred to as storage automatic sorting, and is automatically started when the number of banknotes in the banknote storages 48a to 48d becomes equal to or more than a certain value.

This fixed number is equal to the number of Terras machine 1a or 1
The number of bills in the bill storages 48a to 48d can always be kept constant. When the number of banknotes in the banknote storages 48a to 48d becomes equal to or larger than the set value, storage rearrangement is automatically performed and the banknote storages 48a to 48d are executed.
Extraction from within d is started. The picked-up banknotes are discriminated, such as denomination confirmation, by the withdrawal inspection unit 59, and only the banknotes suitable for sealing are conveyed to the sealing stacking unit 61 by the sealing gate 35i. When 100 bills are conveyed to the banding / stacking unit 61, the bills are sent to the small bundle processing device 3 by a mechanism / process described later.

On the other hand, the control of each of the bill storages 48a to 48d checks the remaining amount of bills in the bill storage every time 100 bills are taken out, and stops taking out when the remaining amount becomes equal to or less than the set value. By controlling in this manner, the number of bills in the bill storages 48a to 48d is always kept constant.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sealing and stacking unit 61 is stacked in two stages, upper and lower. This two-stage integration switching is performed by an integration switching gate 35k. First, the banknotes taken out from the banknote storages 48a to 48d are stacked in the upper-stage sealing stacking unit 61a. The accumulated bills are accumulated on the sealing accumulation backup 62a, and a certain height from the accumulation outlet is secured. When the stacking progresses and the upper surface of the bill approaches the stacking outlet, fullness is detected by a sealing stacking fullness sensor (not shown). When a full state is detected, the banding / stacking backup 62a is lowered to the lower end by the drive mechanism, and moves the bill onto the banding horizontal carrier 63a. The stacking further proceeds, and the upper-stage sealing stacking section 61a
When 100 bills are stacked in the stack, the stack switching gate 35k causes subsequent bills to be stacked in the lower sealed stacking section 61b.
Will be integrated.

On the other hand, the 1
The 00 banknotes are moved toward the small bundle processing device 3 by the banding horizontal carrier 63a while being pressed from above by the banding accumulation clamp 64a. At this time, since the banding accumulation clamp 64a is fixed on the banding horizontal carrier 63a, it moves together. Sealed horizontal carrier 63a
The 100 bills moved by the above are pulled out from the banding horizontal carrier by the mechanism of the small bundle processing device. And
When the sensor (not shown) detects that the bill is pulled out, the banding horizontal carrier 63a is returned to the original position. At this time, the banding backup 62a and the banding clamp 64a also return to their original positions.

One cycle is completed by the above operation, and then the lower-stage banding / stacking unit 61b sends 100 bills to the small bundle processing device 3 by the same operation. In this manner, the upper / lower band stacking / stacking section 61
By a, 61b sending the banknotes to the small bundle processing device 3 in order, the banding can be performed continuously. When a fraction remains at the time of banding, the banding / stacking unit 61 as shown in FIG.
The whole of a and 61b hops up together with the preceding conveyance path, so that the bills in the stacking units 61a and 61b can be taken out.

Next, the small bundle processing device 3 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, the small bundle processing device 3 includes a bill depositing and dispensing machine 2.
The banknotes sent from the banding stacking units 61a and 61b are banded and stored, and a small bundle is dispensed in accordance with an instruction from the tailors machine. The small bundle processing device 3 includes a small bundle holding unit 7 that receives bills from the banding / stacking unit of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2.

The stacking / stacking sections 61a, 61 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2
When b is inserted into the small bundle processing device 3, the small bundle holding unit 71 moves to receive bills. The small bundle holding unit 71 has a two-stage configuration including an upper holding unit 71a and a lower holding unit 71b, and can receive bills even when bills are supplied from the upper stage or from the lower stage of the banding and stacking unit 61. Can be. The upper and lower holding sections 71a and 71b are provided on the same base, and are moved up and down together.

The upper and lower holding portions 71a, 71
b is a bill clamp position, a bill release position,
It is provided so as to be movable to three standby positions, and each movement position is detected by a holding position detection sensor (not shown).

When a specified number of banknotes are stacked on the banding / stacking unit 61 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 sends a transfer permission to the small bundle processing device 3 and an identification signal indicating whether the banknote is in the upper or lower stage. The small bundle processing device 3 having received the signal, the bill depositing and dispensing machine 2
, A backup mechanism described later is set to the upper or lower stage.

Thereafter, the upper or lower holding portion 71a, 71b, which has been waiting at the standby position, moves to the bill clamping position, and clamps the bill by a bill clamping mechanism (not shown). When the clamp is completed, the upper or lower holding portions 71a and 71b move to the bill release position while pulling the bill, and wait for the backup to clamp the bill. When the backup clamps the bill, the holding units 71a and 71b release the bill and return to the standby position.
With the above operation, the operation of one cycle of the small bundle holding unit 71 is completed,
The withdrawal of the bill is completed.

Next, the backup mechanism 72 of the small bundle holding section 71 includes a bill receiving base 74 in the mechanism and a backup clamp mechanism 73 above the bill receiving base 74. The backup mechanism 72 can detect three positions of an upper banknote receiving position, a lower banknote receiving position, and a carrier transfer position by a sensor group (not shown). The backup mechanism 72 that has received the bills from the small bundle holding unit 71 waits for the small bundle holding unit 71 to return to the standby position, starts moving from the upper bill receiving position or the lower bill receiving position, and moves to the carrier transfer position. I do. At this time, the backup clamp mechanism 73 is in a clamped state and holds down the banknote on the backup so as not to drop.

When the backup mechanism 72 moves to the carrier transfer position, the banknote is positioned at the same height as the carrier 75. When the carrier 75 moves forward in this state, the bill is pushed by the back plate of the carrier 75 and is extracted from the backup 72. With the above operation, the transfer of the banknote from the backup mechanism 72 to the carrier 75 is completed. When the carrier 75 starts moving forward, bills are clamped by a carrier clamp (not shown) so as not to drop from above the carrier 75. In addition, carrier 7

5, while rotating in the carrier moving direction by being pushed by the bill above, the bill is passed. The carrier 75 is provided so as to be movable to three positions of a bill receiving position, a bundle position, and a vertical carrier transfer position, and each position is detected by a sensor (not shown).

The banknotes on the carrier 75 are conveyed by the carrier 75 to the banding mechanism 101 and bound.
The banding mechanism 101 includes a supply unit 103 for a bandage 102,
The apparatus includes a feeding roller 104 for feeding the band 102 supplied from the supply unit 103, a winding mechanism 105 for winding the band 102 around a banknote, and a cutter 106 for cutting the band wound around the banknote.

The banknotes that have been sealed to form a small bundle move from the bundle position to the vertical carrier delivery position on the carrier 75, and the carrier 75 stops there. On this occasion,
The bill hits the outer surface of the sealing shutter 76 and stops at a certain position. The vertical carrier 77 rises from a standby position below the carrier 75 and moves to a position on the carrier 75 where the banknote can be grasped. Vertical carrier 7 that has completed movement
7 holds a small bundle on the carrier 75 in cooperation with the vertical carrier clamp mechanism 78 provided side by side.

When the vertical carrier clamp 78 grasps the small bundle,
The carrier 75 further starts moving and returns to the bill receiving position. At this time, the small bundle is pushed by the sealing shutter 76 and comes off the carrier 75. The small bundle that has moved onto the vertical carrier 77 descends together with the vertical carrier 77 and enters the small bundle transport path 79.

The small bundle transport mechanism includes a small bundle pusher mechanism 80 and a picker mechanism 81 arranged on the upper surface side of the transport path.
Transport shutter mechanisms 82a and 82b arranged on the lower surface side of the transport path and guiding small bundles on the transport path into the small bundle storage 83.
And

Below the transport path, four small bundle storages 83 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. These small bundle storages 83 are formed so that small bundles corresponding to denominations can be stored in a stacked state, respectively, and a stopper mechanism 84 and a small bundle safe backup mechanism 85 arranged in each storage are provided.
Thereby, the small bundle in each bill storage box can be returned to the transport path.

The four small bundle storages 32 are removably mounted on a movable table 92 integral with the take-out door 27. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the movable table 92 is pulled out from the front side of the small bundle processing device 3 and lifted upward, whereby each small bundle storage 32 can be taken out from the small bundle processing device 3 and the small bundle storage 32 can be taken out. Replenishment of small bundles to the bundle storage 32,
Alternatively, the small bundle storage can be exchanged.

When the small bundle moved by the vertical carrier 77 is stored in the small bundle storage 83 through the transport path, as shown in FIG. 4, the vertical carrier 77 approaches the transport path 79 with the small bundle clamped. Then, the opening / closing mechanism 86 is opened by a drive motor (not shown). Then, the vertical carrier 77 that has entered the transport path via the opening / closing mechanism 86 moves to a fixed position in the transport path, and waits for the opening / closing mechanism 86 to close. When the opening / closing mechanism 86 is closed, the small bundle on the vertical carrier 77 is conveyed into the conveyance path by the driving rollers arranged in a nested manner with the vertical carrier 77.

Next, the small bundle stops on the small bundle storage 83 in which the small bundle is to be stored, and waits in a state where the small bundle can be stored. At this time, the small bundle is picked up by a picker mechanism 81 described later.
The stop position is adjusted. When the small bundle stands by right above the small bundle storage 83, the left and right transport shutters 82 a and 82 b are rotated downward by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the small bundle falls into the small bundle storage 83. Further, the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is simultaneously driven in the pushing direction in accordance with the rotation of the transport shutters 82a and 82b, and the small bundle is pushed into the small bundle storage 83 without being caught in the middle.

At first, the small bundle that has fallen falls on the stopper mechanism 84 in the small bundle storage 83, and the small bundle pusher mechanism 8
With 0, it is further pushed into the storage 83. The stopper mechanism 84 is pushed so as to rotate into the small bundle storage 83 together with the small bundle, and when the small bundle reaches a certain position,
It returns to the original position by itself by the urging force of a spring or the like. The small bundle pusher mechanism 80 moves to the position where the stopper mechanism 84 returns, and then returns to the home position. Thereafter, the transport shutters 82a and 82b close, and the small bundle storage operation in the small bundle storage 83 ends. The small bundles stored in the small bundle storage 83 are always urged upward by the small bundle backup mechanism 85 in the storage and are held down by the stopper mechanism 84.

On the other hand, when dispensing a small bundle, first, the transport shutters 82a and 82b of the small bundle storage 83 to be dispensed are opened, and the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is pushed into the small bundle storage 83. As a result, the small bundle in the small bundle storage 83 is pushed downward by the small bundle pusher mechanism, and the stopper mechanism 84 can rotate.

The rotatable stopper mechanism 84 is
It is rotated and held in the small bundle storage 83 by a drive mechanism (not shown). Thereafter, when the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is pulled upward, the small bundles in the small bundle storage 83 are pushed up by the small bundle backup mechanism 85 and rise to the upper end position of the small bundle pusher mechanism 80. Then, by driving the picker mechanism 81, only the uppermost small bundle is hooked by the picker mechanism and introduced into the small bundle transport path 79. The introduced small bundle is moved in the transport path by the transport roller on the small bundle transport path 79.

When paying out continuously, if the picker mechanism 81 is driven again, the next small bundle will be paid out. When the dispensing of the small bundle is completed, the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is pushed in as in the case of the deposit, and the excess small bundle is stored in the small bundle storage 83.

The small bundles transferred to the small bundle transport path 79 move in the transport path and fall into the elevator 87 from the exit of the transport path. When all the small bundles to be dispensed enter the elevator 87, the elevator 87 starts rising and moves to the dispensing position. When the elevator 87 stops at the dispensing position, the small bundle dispensing door 24 opens, and the small bundle can be taken out. When a small bundle is taken out of the elevator 87, the absence of the small bundle is detected by a sensor (not shown), and the dispensing door 24 is closed to terminate the dispensing transaction.

As described above, the small bundle transport path 79,
The small bundle pusher mechanism 80, the small bundle backup mechanism 85, the pusher mechanism 81, the elevator 87, and the like constitute a dispensing mechanism for extracting and dispensing small bundles.

When it is desired to continuously discharge small bundles to the outside of the machine due to banknote arrangement or the like, the small bundle chute door 89 is opened and the elevator 87 is moved upward to drop from the small bundle transport path 79. Small bundles can be released as they are. This has an advantage that the elevator 87 has a finite capacity, but can continuously withdraw infinitely.

An unfit banknote safe 90 is provided below the elevator 87, and accommodates a small bundle unsuitable for dispensing, for example, a small bundle of unfit banknotes or a small bundle with a poor appearance. When dropping a small bundle from the small bundle transport path 79 to the damaged banknote safe 90, the elevator 87
Is moved upward, and the small bundle is stored directly in the banknote safe 90.

A reflection type denomination discriminating sensor 133 is provided near the exit of the small bundle transport path 79, and passes through the exit of the small bundle transport path 79 when dispensing and discharging a small bundle in other business. The surface of the small bundle to be detected is detected at a plurality of locations. Then, the denomination discriminating sensor 133 discriminates the denomination of the dispensed and released small bundles by discriminating the reflection pattern from the small bundle.

Next, the small bundle inspection work will be described. Inspection of small bundles is a task of counting the number of small bundles stored in the small bundle storage 83. The small bundles that cannot be determined after the staff manually loads the small bundles or after an error occurs. Storage 83
The purpose is to count the number of small bundles in the box.

In the present embodiment, each small bundle storage 83
Is provided with a small bundle inspection mechanism so that the storage unit can execute the small bundle inspection. Specifically, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the small bundle storage 83 has a rectangular box-shaped storage main body 111, and a small bundle counting unit 112 is mounted inside the front side of the machine body. In addition, a safe door 139 is provided on the upper surface of the housing main body 111 to make the small bundle housing 83 have a safe property, and a door open / close sensor as an open / close detecting means for detecting opening / closing of the safe door 139. 140 are provided.

The small bundle counting unit 112 includes a double counting sensor 113 and a lifting mechanism 94 for raising and lowering the counting sensor 113 along the vertical direction. Lifting mechanism 94

Then, by driving the timing belt 115 by a driving unit 118 described later, the counting sensor 11
3 is driven up and down along the guide rail 114. Sensors 119 and 120 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 114, respectively, so that the upper and lower positions of the counting sensor 113 can be detected.

The driving section 118 has a motor 121 and a reduction gear 122 provided at the bottom in the storage body 111 and is connected to a timing pulley 117 via a timing belt 123 to drive the timing belt 115. . The gear of the encoder 124 is meshed with the reduction gear 122 of the drive unit 118, and the encoder-124 rotates according to the rotation of the motor 121. Then, by detecting rotation of the motor 121 by the encoder 124, the moving distance of the counting sensor 113 can be measured.

The upper end position of the counting sensor 113 is set below the stopper mechanism 84 and at a position where the band S of the uppermost small bundle P accumulated in the small bundle storage 83 can be detected. . The lower end position of the counting sensor 113 is set so that the counting sensor 113 is located below the lowermost end position of the backup 125 of the small bundle backup mechanism 85. An end mark (not shown) is marked on the end surface of the backup 125 on the side of the counting sensor 113, and the counting sensor 1
By reading the end mark at 13, the position of the backup 125 can be detected.

The counting sensor 113 has two reflection sensors 11
As shown in FIG. 7, the small bundles 3a and 113b are arranged at positions facing the band S of the small bundle P stored in the small bundle storage 83. Then, by moving the counting sensor 113 up and down along the guide rail 114, the band S of the small bundle P accumulated in the small bundle storage 83 and the brightness of the cut between the bands S are read, and the bundle of the small bundle P is read. Count the number.

Although the two reflection sensors 113a and 113b of the counting sensor 113 respectively detect the band S of the small bundle P, even if the band position varies and one of the reflection sensors cannot detect the band S, the other reflection sensor will not detect the band S. Can be detected, the number of bundles can be determined. Further, even when the two reflection sensors of the counting sensor 113 cannot read the band, the thickness of the small bundle of the unreadable portion is determined from the moving distance of the counting sensor 113 detected by the encoder 124 to determine the number of bundles.

The counting sensor 113 is swingably supported by a swing mechanism 96. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the swing mechanism 96 has a plate-like sensor bracket (support member) 126 extending in the vertical direction, and the counting sensor 113 is fixed to the upper end of the sensor bracket. The lower end of the sensor bracket 126 is rotatably supported by a horizontal rotation shaft 128 attached to the elevating plate 127. The elevating plate 127 is supported by the support plate 95 and the guide rail 114 via a plurality of guide rollers 97 so as to be able to move up and down.

At the upper end of the sensor bracket 126, a roller 129 rotatable around a horizontal axis is provided as a positioning roller, and is located adjacent to the counting sensor 113. The roller 129 is disposed at a position slightly protruding from the tip of the lens of the counting sensor 113. The sensor bracket 126 is driven by a compression coil spring 130 as an urging member attached to the elevating plate 127,
29 and the counting sensor 113 are the small bundles P in the small bundle storage 83.
It is urged to be pressed against.

The small bundles P accumulated in the small bundle storage 83 are provided with ribs 131 protruding from the inner surface of the small bundle storage,
And in the range of the side inner wall 132, but the variation in the front-rear direction is closely contacted with the side of the small bundle P according to the shape of the small bundle P on which the rollers 129 of the swing mechanism 96 are accumulated. To move, the counting sensor 113
Is always kept at the optimum focal length.

The side inner wall 132 of the small bundle storage 83 is provided so as to be adjustable at a position corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of each denomination. Then, the side inner wall 132 and the rib 13
By regulating the position of the small bundle P in the left-right width direction by using 1, the stacking position of the small bundles P of each denomination in the left-right direction can be maintained within a certain range without variation.

As shown in FIG. 6, a small bundle processing unit 3 has a small bundle counting unit 11
2 is provided with a float connector 134 for supplying power and moving signals for moving the power supply 2. The float connector 134 is provided with a later-described attachment / detachment detection unit that detects that the small bundle storage 83 has been removed from the small bundle processing device 3.

In the storage main body 111, the control board 136 for controlling the small bundle counting unit 112 and the small bundle loading storage 83 can carry out the close inspection operation alone even when the small bundle storage 83 is detached from the small bundle processing device 3. A power supply unit 135 such as a battery provided so as to be executable, an operation input switch (input means) 138 such as a key for instructing the start of a small bundle inspection operation, a display for displaying the result of the small bundle inspection A part 137 is provided.

The operation input switch 138 is provided so as to be operable from the outside of the small bundle storage 83, and is provided at a position which can be operated only when the small bundle storage is removed from the small bundle processing device 3. ing.

As shown in FIG. 9, the control board 136 includes a main control unit 141 for controlling the whole inspection of the small bundle, and a mechanism control unit 1 for controlling the driving mechanism of the small bundle counting unit 112.
43, a storage means for storing the inspection result, for example, a memory 142, and an interface (I / F) 144 for transmitting and receiving data such as the inspection result to and from the apparatus main body via the float connector 134. I have. Display unit 13
7, the operation input switch 138, the door opening / closing sensor 140, and the detachment / attachment detection unit 145 of the float connector are provided by the main control unit 137.
It is connected to the.

Next, the small bundle inspection operation will be described.
First, a case will be described in which the small bundle storage 83 is loaded into the small bundle processing device 3 and the small bundle inspection is performed. The counting sensor 113 is normally waiting at the lower end position where it does not touch the small bundle. Then, when there is a request for scrutiny of a small bundle from the teller's machine la or lb, the small bundle storage
A drive signal and a drive voltage are supplied from the apparatus main body through the float connector 134. As a result, the motor 121 of the small bundle counting unit operates to raise the counting sensor 113. The counting sensor 113 starts to detect a small bundle while ascending, and stops when the upper end detection sensor 119 is shut off.

The number of small bundles P is determined based on the end mark of the backup 125 detected during this period, the number of light and dark times of the band break between the small bundles P, and the light and dark interval measured by the encoder 124. Determine. The method for determining the number of bundles will be described later.

Since the four small bundle storages 83 loaded in the small bundle processing apparatus 3 have the same mechanism, only the storage required by the tellers machine 1a or 1b is reduced. You can scrutinize the bundles or you can scrutinize all the shelves simultaneously.

A method of determining the number of bundles based on the detection data of the counting sensor 113 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a graph showing the sensor output waveform when a plurality of small bundles P in the small bundle storage 83 are counted while raising the counting sensor 113, and the output waveform of the encoder-124 at that time. . The vertical axis is the counting sensor 113
, And the horizontal axis represents time.

The output waveforms of the counting sensor 113 are shown with the reflection sensor 113a as the sensor 1 and the other sensor as the reflection sensor 113b as the sensor 2. The two sensors 1 and 2 of the counting sensor 113 are reflection-type sensors. In a portion where the small bundle P is not present in the small bundle storage 83, the emitted light does not reflect, and thus the sensor as shown in part A of FIG. Is low, but when the light bundle P moves to the position of the band S, the emitted light is reflected by the band S.
The output voltage of the sensor rises as indicated by B in FIG.

Further, when the counting sensor 113 moves and reaches a break between the bands, the reflected light is weakened at the break between the bands, so that the output voltage of both the sensors 1 and 2 becomes low as shown in a portion C in FIG. When the counting sensor 113 further moves and reaches the band S of the next small bundle P, the reflected light is strengthened by the band S, and the output voltages of the sensors 1 and 2 increase again as indicated by the D part in FIG.

In this way, the small bundle P in the small bundle
Are detected, a portion where the output voltage is high in the band S portion,
The waveforms of the portion where the output voltage is low between the bands S and S are obtained by the number of small bundles, and the portion where the output voltage is low,
Alternatively, the number of small bundles P can be determined by electrically counting the number of portions having a high output voltage.

In the part E of FIG. 10, the sensor 1 reads the gap between the bands and the output voltage is lowered.
Indicates that the break between the bands cannot be read and the output voltage does not change. In this case, based on the movement distance of the sensor detected by the encoder 124, it is possible to determine that the output reduction portion of the sensor 1 is a band break. Further, although not shown, even when both of the sensors 1 and 2 cannot read the gap between the bands, if the portion that cannot be read is one bundle, it cannot be read from the sensor movement distance detected by the encoder 124. It is possible to distinguish whether the section is one bundle or two bundles, and it is possible to determine the number of bundles.

Next, the small bundle storage 83 is detached from the small bundle processing device 3, that is, the small bundle storage 83 is used alone.
The operation when the small bundle inspection is performed will be described. When the small bundle storage 83 is detached from the small bundle processing device 3 and the float connector 134 is detached from a connector (not shown) on the device side, the attachment / detachment detection unit 145 detects this. The operator opens the safe door 139 to load the small bundle into the small bundle storage 83 by hand, closes the safe door 139 after loading the small bundle. After that, the small bundle loaded in the small bundle storage 83 is closely inspected.

The execution of the close inspection is carried out in the removed small bundle storage 8.
It is started by pressing the second operation input switch 138. As shown in FIG.
8 is pressed, the main control unit 141
From the signal from 5, it is confirmed whether or not the small bundle storage 83 is in the detached state, and if it is not in the detached state, the close inspection operation is not executed.

The main control section 141 is provided with the door opening / closing sensor 1.
The signal from 40 confirms the opening and closing of the safe door 136,
In the closed state, the small bundle is inspected by the same operation as described above. At this time, the small bundle counting unit 112 is driven by using the battery 135 provided in the small bundle storage 83 as a power source.

After the inspection is completed, the inspection result is stored in the memory 142. The main control unit 141 continues to monitor whether or not the safe door 139 has been opened by the door opening / closing sensor 140, that is, whether or not manual operation has been performed, during the scrutiny operation and after the scrutiny is completed. Then, when the opening of the safe door 139 is detected, the inspection result stored in the memory 142 is cleared and the state returns to the initial state. That is, if the safe door 139 has been opened, it means that there is a risk that the small bundle in the small bundle storage 82 may be manually extracted, added, changed, or the like, and the close inspection result may be incorrect. . Therefore, in this case, the memory 1
Clear 42 and redo the scrutiny again.

When the safe door 139 has never been opened, the main control section 141 checks whether or not the small bundle storage 83 has been attached to the small bundle processing device 3 based on a signal from the detachment detection section 145. Then, if it is mounted, it waits for a data request signal from the small bundle processing device. When there is a data request, the main control unit 141 transmits the inspection result stored in the memory 142 to the small bundle processing device 3 and the teller's machine via the I / F 144. Thereby, the scrutiny operation ends.

Next, an example of a transaction using the cash management system configured as described above will be described. First, when performing a deposit transaction, cash to be deposited is set in the slot 11 of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 2. Subsequently, a capture start operation is performed from the teller's machine 1a or 1b. Then, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 starts counting banknotes, and after the counting is completed, transmits the counting result to the teller's machine 1a or 1b. The operator performing the deposit operation performs the teller's machine 1a or 1 during bill counting.
The deposit data such as the slip amount and the account number is input by using the operation key b. When the counting result from the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 matches the slip amount, the operator presses the completion button to complete the payment transaction. The details of the transaction are recorded by a journal printer mounted in the teller's machine 1a or 1b.

In the case of the dispensing transaction, the operator inputs the dispensing data such as the dispensing amount and the account number from the teller's machine 1a or 1b, and then presses the start key. Banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2
Takes out the bills from the bill storages 48a to 48d and conveys them to the dispensing port 11 in accordance with the withdrawal request from the teller's machine 1a or 1b. When the withdrawal request is for a small bundle, the small bundle processing device 3 dispenses banknotes in a bundle.

If a jam or the like occurs in the machine during the bill dispensing process, the bills in the transport path are still machine-managed bills, so the teller's machine 1a or 1b judges the rank of the operator. On the other hand, if the operator is of the rank touched by the bills in the machine, the electromagnetic lock of the dispensing mechanism is released, and the operator waits for the jam processing. When the rank of the operator is low and the in-flight cash cannot be touched, an operator with a higher rank is requested and the card waits. Such control protects the security of the cash inside the machine and makes it possible to know who operated the cash.

Further, the deposit processing is overlapped and the bill storage 48a is overlapped.
When the banknotes accumulate within ~ 48d, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 performs a process of automatically turning the banknotes in the banknote storage to the small bundle processing device 3. By this processing, the bill storage shed 48a-
The bill amount in 48d is always kept at a substantially constant amount, and surplus bills are stored in the small bundle storage 83.

According to the cash management system configured as described above, the small bundle storage 83 of the small bundle processing device 3 is moved up and down by the small bundle counting sensor 113 provided inside.
You can inspect the small bundles loaded in the storage,
The small bundle inspection can be performed without transferring the small bundle to another small bundle storage as in the related art. Therefore, it is possible to improve processing efficiency and serviceability.

Each small bundle storage 83 is provided with a control unit for driving the small bundle counting unit 112, a power supply unit, a display unit, a memory, and the like, and is detached from the small bundle processing device 3. However, a small bundle inspection can be performed alone. For this reason, when a small bundle is loaded in the small bundle storage 83 with the small bundle removed from the small bundle processing device 3, the small bundles in the small bundle storage 83 are counted and closely inspected before being mounted on the small bundle processing device. The transaction can be started immediately after the small bundle storage is attached to the processing device. Therefore, unlike the related art, it is not necessary to perform the small bundle inspection after the small bundle storage is mounted on the small bundle processing apparatus, and the processing efficiency and the serviceability can be further improved.

When the small bundle storage 83 is to be inspected with the small bundle storage device 83 removed from the small bundle processing device 3, the main control unit 141 detects the opening and closing of the safe door 139 by the door opening / closing sensor 140,
Only when the safe door 139 is closed, the counting sensor 11
Start counting small bundles by 3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent small bundles from being inadvertently inserted and removed through the safe door 139 during the close inspection operation, and to accurately count the number of bundles.

Further, the main control unit 141 controls the counting sensor 11
3, the opening / closing of the safe door 139 is constantly monitored by the door opening / closing sensor 140, and during the detection operation,
Alternatively, if the safe door 139 is opened even once after the detection is completed, the counting result stored in the memory 142 is cleared after the detection is completed. That is, if the safe door 139 has been opened, it means that there is a risk that the small bundle in the small bundle storage 82 may be manually extracted, added, changed, or the like.
There is a possibility that the scrutiny result is wrong. Therefore, safe door 1
When the opening of the 39 is detected, the memory 142 is cleared and the inspection is performed again, so that a highly accurate counting can be performed and the reliability can be improved. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention.
