Further, it is possible to prevent moisture from entering the banknote depositing / dispensing machine together with high humidity banknotes and causing rust inside the banknote depositing / dispensing machine.
In this example, when it was recognized that the humidity measurement value exceeded the capture determination value, it was explained that the return reason explanation message was displayed and the transaction was interrupted, but the humidity measurement value exceeded the capture determination value. Alternatively, the transaction may not be interrupted immediately. In such a case, a statement that tells you that you want to return the banknote and prompts you to insert a new banknote, for example, “The banknotes you have inserted are very wet and cannot be handled. Please insert dry banknotes.” Is displayed on the display unit, and when the detection sensor detects that the customer has received the banknote by opening the housing shutter and the insertion unit shutter, the display unit prompts the insertion of the banknote. Switch to a screen that displays a message such as “Please do”.

そして、検知センサにより顧客による紙幣の投入の有無を判断して顧客が紙幣を投入しなかったときは取引を中断すると判断し、顧客が紙幣を投入したときは上記と同様にして投入された紙幣の表面湿度を測定し、その紙幣の湿度測定値と取込判定値とを比較してその結果に応じた処理を行うようにし、紙幣の再投入が所定の回数(例えば3回)行われた後に湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えていた場合は取引を中断するようにする。   Then, it is determined whether or not the banknote is inserted by the customer by the detection sensor, and when the customer does not insert the banknote, it is determined that the transaction is interrupted. When the customer inserts the banknote, the banknote inserted in the same manner as described above The surface humidity of the banknote is measured, the measured humidity value of the banknote is compared with the take-in determination value, and a process corresponding to the result is performed, and the banknote is reinserted a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times). If the humidity measurement value exceeds the uptake determination value later, the transaction will be interrupted.

また、表示部に紙幣返却を伝える旨と新たに紙幣の投入を促す旨を伝える文言を表示して紙幣を顧客に返却した後、顧客が紙幣の投入を行わなかったときに、表示部に窓口の利用を進める文言、例えば「窓口にてお預かり、または交換できます。」等の文言を表示すれば、紙幣入出金機で扱えない取引を窓口で行わせることができる。   In addition, when the customer does not insert the banknote after returning the banknote to the customer by displaying a message indicating that the banknote is returned and prompting the user to newly insert the banknote on the display section, For example, if a message such as “Can be deposited or exchanged at the window” is displayed, transactions that cannot be handled by the banknote depositing and dispensing machine can be performed at the window.

本実施例では顧客の紙幣Pを受入れる預入取引を行う場合、実施例1と同様にして投入された紙幣Pの表面湿度を測定するため、ステップSA1からステップSA5までの動作は上記実施例1のステップS1からステップS5までの動作と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
SA6、顧客が投入した紙幣Pの表面湿度を測定した制御部20は、記憶部21に格納されている取込判定値(例えば96%RH)を読出して測定した湿度の値、つまり湿度測定値と比較し、湿度測定値が取込判定値以下の場合はステップSA7に分岐し、湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えていた場合はステップSA8に移行する。
In this embodiment, when a deposit transaction for accepting a customer's banknote P is performed, the surface humidity of the inserted banknote P is measured in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the operations from step SA1 to step SA5 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Since it is the same as the operation from step S1 to step S5, its description is omitted.
SA6, the control unit 20 that has measured the surface humidity of the bill P inserted by the customer reads out the intake determination value (for example, 96% RH) stored in the storage unit 21 and measures the humidity value, that is, the humidity measurement value. If the humidity measurement value is equal to or smaller than the capture determination value, the process branches to step SA7. If the humidity measurement value exceeds the capture determination value, the process proceeds to step SA8.

SA7、湿度測定値が取込判定値以下と認識した制御部20は、紙幣Pをビルプレス12により押付けて分離ローラ13を回転させて一枚づつ分離して搬送路14へ繰出し、ステップSA2で認識した預入取引処理に関する動作を通常通り実行して預入取引処理を終了させる。そして制御部20は顧客が取引カードまたは通帳を抜き取るとステップSA1に戻り表示部2に取引選択画面を表示して待機する。   SA7, the control unit 20 that has recognized that the humidity measurement value is equal to or less than the take-in determination value, presses the bill P with the bill press 12, rotates the separation roller 13, separates them one by one, and feeds them to the conveyance path 14, and at step SA2 The recognized transaction processing is executed as usual to terminate the deposit transaction processing. Then, when the customer extracts the transaction card or passbook, the control unit 20 returns to step SA1 to display the transaction selection screen on the display unit 2 and waits.

SA8、湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えていると判断した制御部20は、記憶部21に格納されている乾燥判定値(例えば98%RH)を読出して湿度測定値と比較し、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値を超えている場合はステップSA12に分岐し、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値以下の場合はステップSA9に移行する。
SA9、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値以下であると判断した制御部20は、発熱体34を発熱させてファン33を動かして熱風を発生させることにより、熱風を外箱32から中箱30を通じて紙幣投入部6内に送り、そこに収納されている紙幣Pに熱風を吹き付け、表示部2に図11に示す紙幣Pを乾燥中である旨の文言、例えば「お客様の投入された紙幣は、大変湿っておりますのでお取扱できません。ただいま乾燥させていますのでしばらくお待ちください。」等の文言と取引を中断するための選択肢、熱風を吹き付ける残り時間のカウントダウン等を表示した紙幣乾燥案内画面を表示する。
SA8, the control unit 20 having determined that the measured humidity value exceeds the capture determination value, reads the dryness determination value (for example, 98% RH) stored in the storage unit 21 and compares it with the measured humidity value. If the measured value exceeds the drying determination value, the process branches to step SA12. If the measured humidity value is equal to or less than the drying determination value, the process proceeds to step SA9.
SA9, the control unit 20 having determined that the measured humidity value is equal to or less than the dry determination value generates heat by causing the heating element 34 to generate heat and moving the fan 33 to generate hot air from the outer box 32 through the inner box 30. 11 is sent to the insertion unit 6, hot air is blown on the banknotes P stored therein, and the statement that the banknotes P shown in FIG. 11 are being dried on the display unit 2, for example, “ We can't handle it because it's wet. Please wait for a while because it's dried right now. "Display a bill drying guide screen that displays the wording such as" Please wait for a while ", an option to interrupt the transaction, and a countdown of the remaining time to blow hot air .

SA10、タイマー機能により一定時間、例えば30秒間熱風を吹き付けたことを認識した制御部20は、ファン33および発熱体34の作動を止めて紙幣Pの表面湿度を再測定する。
SA11、熱風により乾燥させた紙幣Pの表面湿度を再測定した制御部20は、記憶部21に格納されている取込判定値を読出して再測定した湿度の値、つまり湿度再測定値と比較し、湿度再測定値が取込判定値を超えている場合はステップSA12に分岐し、湿度再測定値が取込判定値以下の場合はステップSA7に移行する。
The control unit 20 that has recognized that the hot air has been blown for a certain period of time, for example, 30 seconds, by the SA10 timer function stops the operation of the fan 33 and the heating element 34 and remeasures the surface humidity of the bill P.
SA11, the control unit 20 that has remeasured the surface humidity of the banknote P dried by hot air reads the take-in determination value stored in the storage unit 21 and compares it with the remeasured humidity value, that is, the humidity remeasured value. If the humidity remeasurement value exceeds the capture determination value, the process branches to step SA12. If the humidity remeasurement value is equal to or less than the capture determination value, the process proceeds to step SA7.

SA12、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値を超えている、あるいは湿度再測定値が取込判定値を超えていると判断した制御部20は、紙幣Pが取込不可状態だと認識して表示部2に上記実施例1のステップS7と同様の返却理由説明メッセージを表示する。
SA13、制御部20は、筐体シャッタ9および投入部シャッタ10を開くことにより顧客に紙幣Pを返却し、顧客が紙幣Pを受取ったことにより検知センサ11が紙幣Pを検知しなくなって所定時間の経過後に、筐体シャッタ9および投入部シャッタ10を閉じてステップSA1に戻り表示部2に取引選択画面を表示して待機する。
SA12, the control unit 20 that has determined that the measured humidity value exceeds the drying determination value, or the humidity remeasurement value exceeds the capture determination value, recognizes that the bill P is in an uncaptured state and displays the display unit. 2 displays a return reason explanation message similar to step S7 of the first embodiment.
SA13, the control unit 20 returns the banknote P to the customer by opening the housing shutter 9 and the insertion unit shutter 10, and the detection sensor 11 does not detect the banknote P when the customer receives the banknote P, for a predetermined time. After the elapse of time, the casing shutter 9 and the closing unit shutter 10 are closed, the process returns to step SA1, and the transaction selection screen is displayed on the display unit 2 to stand by.

このように本実施例では投入された紙幣Pの表面湿度を測定し、湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えても、乾燥判定値以下であれば熱風を吹き付けて紙幣Pを乾燥させて湿度の再測定を行い、湿度再測定値が取込判定値以下となっていれば顧客の選択した取引処理を実行する。
以上説明したように、本実施例では、上記実施例1の効果に加え、湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えても、乾燥判定値以下であれば熱風を吹き付けて紙幣を乾燥させるので、湿度の高い紙幣を乾燥させて搬送することができるため湿度の状態による取引中断の割合を低減させることができる。
As described above, in this embodiment, the surface humidity of the inserted bill P is measured, and even if the humidity measurement value exceeds the take-in determination value, if it is equal to or less than the drying determination value, hot air is blown to dry the bill P and the humidity. If the humidity remeasurement value is less than or equal to the capture determination value, the transaction process selected by the customer is executed.
As described above, in the present embodiment, in addition to the effect of the first embodiment, even if the humidity measurement value exceeds the take-in determination value, if it is equal to or less than the dry determination value, hot air is blown to dry the banknote. Since banknotes with high humidity can be dried and conveyed, the rate of transaction interruption due to humidity can be reduced.

なお、上記実施例1、実施例2において、投入部シャッタの分離ローラから離れている側の扉に湿度センサを設置するとして説明したが、湿度センサを分離ローラから離れた位置にあるビルプレスに設置して紙幣が投入されたときビルプレスを動かして湿度センサを分離ローラから最も離れた位置の紙幣に接触させて紙幣の表面湿度を測定するようにしてもよい。このようにすれば紙幣投入口シャッタ部が1つのシャッタで構成されている紙幣入出金機にも本発明を適用することができる。   In the first and second embodiments, it has been described that the humidity sensor is installed on the door on the side away from the separation roller of the closing shutter. However, the humidity sensor is attached to the bill press at a position away from the separation roller. When the bill is inserted, the bill press may be moved so that the humidity sensor is brought into contact with the bill at the position farthest from the separation roller to measure the surface humidity of the bill. In this way, the present invention can be applied to a banknote depositing / dispensing machine in which the banknote slot shutter portion is constituted by one shutter.

また、ビルプレスに湿度センサを設置すれば紙幣を乾燥させる際に、筐体シャッタを閉じて投入部シャッタを開放した状態のまま、熱風の吹き付けを行うことができるため、熱風の逃げ口を確保して乾燥効率を向上させることができる。   In addition, if a humidity sensor is installed in the bill press, hot air can be blown with the housing shutter closed and the input shutter open when the banknotes are dried. Thus, the drying efficiency can be improved.

図12は実施例3の分離ローラと湿度センサとの位置関係を示す説明図、図13は実施例3の紙幣投入部を示す説明図である。
なお、上記実施例1および実施例2と同様の部分は、同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
図12において、本実施例の湿度センサ23は分離ローラ13の近傍に設置され、顧客により投入された紙幣Pがビルプレス12により分離ローラ13の方に寄せられたときに分離ローラ13に最も近い位置の紙幣Pの長手方向中央部上端に接触してその湿度を測定する。
FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the separation roller and the humidity sensor of the third embodiment, and FIG. 13 is an explanatory view showing a bill insertion part of the third embodiment.
In addition, the same part as the said Example 1 and Example 2 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description.
In FIG. 12, the humidity sensor 23 according to the present embodiment is installed in the vicinity of the separation roller 13, and is closest to the separation roller 13 when the bill P inserted by the customer is moved toward the separation roller 13 by the bill press 12. The humidity is measured by contacting the upper end of the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the banknote P at the position.

図13において、紙幣投入部6の網目状となっている収納底部6aは分離ローラ13の下方の位置まで形成され、その収納底部6aが形成されている範囲とほぼ同じ大きさで異物収納部7が形成されている。
上述した構成の作用について、図14に示す実施例3の紙幣入出金機の動作を示すフローチャートを用い、SBで示すステップに従って実施例3の紙幣入出金機の動作を説明する。
In FIG. 13, the storage bottom 6a in the form of a mesh of the bill insertion part 6 is formed up to a position below the separation roller 13, and the foreign matter storage part 7 has the same size as the storage bottom 6a. Is formed.
About the effect | action of the structure mentioned above, operation | movement of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine of Example 3 is demonstrated according to the step shown by SB using the flowchart which shows operation | movement of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine of Example 3 shown in FIG.

本実施例では顧客の紙幣を受入れる預入取引を行う場合、実施例2と同様にして投入された紙幣Pの表面湿度を測定するためステップSB1からステップSB4までの動作は上記実施例2のステップSA1からステップSA4までの動作と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
SB5、制御部20は、紙幣Pをビルプレス12により押付けて湿度センサ23を紙幣Pの表面に接触させて表面湿度を測定する。
In the present embodiment, when a deposit transaction for accepting a customer's banknote is performed, the operation from step SB1 to step SB4 is performed in the same manner as in the second embodiment in order to measure the surface humidity of the inserted banknote P. Since it is the same as the operation from step SA4 to step SA4, its description is omitted.
SB5 and the control part 20 press the banknote P with the bill press 12, make the humidity sensor 23 contact the surface of the banknote P, and measure surface humidity.

SB6、紙幣Pの表面湿度を測定した制御部20は、上記実施例2のステップSA6と同様に測定した湿度の値、つまり湿度測定値と取込判定値とを比較し、湿度測定値が取込判定値以下の場合はステップSB7に分岐し、湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えていた場合はステップSB8に移行する。
SB7、湿度測定値が取込判定値以下と判断した制御部20は、預入取引処理に関する動作を通常通り実行して預入取引処理を終了させる。そして制御部20は顧客が取引カードまたは通帳を抜き取るとステップSB1に戻り表示部2に取引選択画面を表示して待機する。
The control unit 20 that measured the surface humidity of the SB 6 and the banknote P compares the humidity value measured in the same manner as Step SA6 in Example 2 above, that is, the humidity measurement value and the capture determination value, and obtains the humidity measurement value. If it is equal to or smaller than the capture determination value, the process branches to step SB7, and if the humidity measurement value exceeds the capture determination value, the process proceeds to step SB8.
SB7, the control unit 20 that has determined that the measured humidity value is equal to or less than the capture determination value executes the operation related to the deposit transaction process as usual, and ends the deposit transaction process. Then, when the customer extracts the transaction card or passbook, the control unit 20 returns to step SB1 to display a transaction selection screen on the display unit 2 and waits.

SB8、湿度測定値が取込判定値を超えていると判断した制御部20は、上記実施例2のステップSA8と同様に湿度測定値と乾燥判定値とを比較し、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値を超えている場合はステップSB12に分岐し、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値以下の場合はステップSB9に移行する。
SB9、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値以下であると判断した制御部20は、発熱体34を発熱させてファン33を動かして熱風を一定時間発生させることにより、熱風を外箱32から中箱30、収納底部6aを通じて紙幣投入部6内に送り、そこに収納されている紙幣Pに熱風を吹き付けると共に、表示部2に紙幣Pを乾燥中である旨の文言と熱風を吹き付ける残り時間、取引を中断するための「取消」キー等を表示した紙幣乾燥案内画面を表示する。
SB8, the control unit 20 having determined that the measured humidity value exceeds the take-in determination value, compares the measured humidity value with the dry determination value in the same manner as in Step SA8 in Example 2 above, and the measured humidity value is determined to be dry. If it exceeds the value, the process branches to step SB12. If the measured humidity value is equal to or less than the dry determination value, the process proceeds to step SB9.
SB9, the control unit 20 that has determined that the measured humidity value is equal to or less than the drying determination value generates heat from the outer box 32 and the inner box 30 by causing the heating element 34 to generate heat and generating hot air for a certain period of time. The bill is inserted into the bill insertion portion 6 through the storage bottom portion 6a, and hot air is blown to the bill P stored therein, and a message indicating that the bill P is being dried and the remaining time to blow the hot air on the display portion 2 are traded. A bill drying guide screen displaying a “cancel” key or the like for interruption is displayed.

SB10、タイマー機能により一定時間紙幣Pに熱風を吹き付けたことを認識した制御部20は、ファン33および発熱体34の作動を止めて紙幣Pの表面湿度を再測定する。
SB11、熱風により乾燥させた紙幣Pの表面湿度を再測定した制御部20は、記憶部21に格納されている取込判定値を読出して再測定した湿度の値、つまり湿度再測定値と比較し、湿度再測定値が取込判定値を超えている場合にはステップSB12に分岐し、湿度再測定値が取込判定値以下の場合はステップSB7に移行する。
The control unit 20 that has recognized that the hot air has been blown on the banknote P for a predetermined time by the timer function SB10 stops the operation of the fan 33 and the heating element 34 and remeasures the surface humidity of the banknote P.
SB11, the control unit 20 that has remeasured the surface humidity of the banknote P dried by hot air reads the uptake determination value stored in the storage unit 21 and compares it with the remeasured humidity value, that is, the humidity remeasured value. If the humidity remeasurement value exceeds the capture determination value, the process branches to step SB12. If the humidity remeasurement value is equal to or less than the capture determination value, the process proceeds to step SB7.

SB12、湿度測定値が乾燥判定値を超えている、あるいは湿度再測定値が取込判定値を超えていると判断した制御部20は、紙幣Pが取込不可状態だと認識して表示部2に上記実施例2のステップSA12と同様の返却理由メッセージを表示する。
SB13、制御部20は、ビルプレス12を元の位置に戻して筐体シャッタ9および投入部シャッタ10を開いて顧客に紙幣Pを返却し、顧客が紙幣Pを受取ったことにより検知センサ11が紙幣Pを検知しなくなって所定時間の経過後に、筐体シャッタ9および投入部シャッタ10を閉じてステップSB1に戻り表示部2に取引選択画面を表示して待機する。
SB12, the control unit 20 that has determined that the measured humidity value exceeds the drying determination value, or the humidity remeasured value exceeds the capture determination value, recognizes that the bill P is in an uncaptured state and displays the display unit. 2 displays a return reason message similar to step SA12 of the second embodiment.
The SB 13 and the control unit 20 return the bill press 12 to the original position, open the housing shutter 9 and the insertion unit shutter 10 to return the bill P to the customer, and the detection sensor 11 is received by the customer receiving the bill P. After the banknote P is no longer detected and the predetermined time has elapsed, the casing shutter 9 and the insertion unit shutter 10 are closed, the process returns to step SB1, and the transaction selection screen is displayed on the display unit 2 to stand by.

このように、本実施例では分離ローラ13の近傍に湿度センサ23を設置し、ビルプレスにより投入された紙幣Pを押圧したときに湿度センサ23が紙幣Pに触れて湿度を測定する。
なお、湿度測定のタイミングとしては、繰出す紙幣毎に行えばより良いことは言うまでもない。
As described above, in this embodiment, the humidity sensor 23 is installed in the vicinity of the separation roller 13, and when the bill P inserted by the bill press is pressed, the humidity sensor 23 touches the bill P and measures the humidity.
Needless to say, the timing of the humidity measurement is better for each bill to be fed.

以上説明したように、本実施例では、分離ローラの近傍に設置した湿度センサが、投入された紙幣をビルプレスにより押付けたときに紙幣表面に触れて湿度を測定するため、最初に繰出される紙幣表面の湿度を測定することができるので高い湿度の紙幣を搬送してしまうことを防止できる。
なお、本実施例において、湿度センサにより湿度の測定をしたままの状態、つまりビルプレスと分離ローラの間に紙幣を挟んだまま熱風を吹き付けるとして説明したが、熱風を吹き付ける前にビルプレスを紙幣から少し離せば複数枚の紙幣が投入された場合に紙幣と紙幣の間に隙間ができて熱風がその隙間に入ることにより紙幣の乾燥させる効率が向上する。
As described above, in this embodiment, the humidity sensor installed in the vicinity of the separation roller is first fed out to measure the humidity by touching the surface of the banknote when the inserted banknote is pressed by the bill press. Since the humidity of the banknote surface can be measured, it is possible to prevent a banknote with high humidity from being conveyed.
In the present embodiment, the humidity sensor is used to measure the humidity, that is, the hot air is blown with the bill sandwiched between the bill press and the separation roller. When a plurality of banknotes are inserted, a gap is formed between the banknotes and the hot air enters the gap when the banknotes are inserted, thereby improving the efficiency of drying the banknotes.

また、本実施例において、紙幣を乾燥させるときに熱風を一定時間発生させるとして説明したが、予め紙幣を乾燥させるために必要な熱風を発生させる時間を、ビルプレスと分離ローラとの間に紙幣を挟んだときのビルプレスの移動量から認識する紙幣枚数と測定した紙幣の湿度との組合せから算出した乾燥時間データテーブルを記憶部に格納しておき、ビルプレス移動の際に認識した紙幣枚数と測定した紙幣の湿度の組合せから乾燥時間データテーブルを参照することにより熱風を発生させる時間を読出し、その時間に従って熱風を発生させれば紙幣の乾燥を確実に行うことができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that hot air is generated for a certain period of time when the banknote is dried, but the time for generating the hot air necessary for drying the banknote in advance is set between the bill press and the separation roller. The drying time data table calculated from the combination of the number of banknotes recognized from the amount of bill press movement and the measured banknote humidity is stored in the storage unit, and the number of banknotes recognized during bill press movement By referring to the drying time data table from the combination of the measured banknote humidity, the time for generating the hot air is read, and if the hot air is generated according to the time, the banknote can be reliably dried.

なお、上記各実施例において預入取引を行うとして説明したが顧客から紙幣を受付ける取引であればよいので、振込取引に適応しても前記と同様の効果を得ることができる。
また、上記各実施例において、紙幣の表面湿度を測定するとき筐体シャッタおよび投入部シャッタを閉じるようにしたが、紙幣の表面湿度を測定するときに投入部シャッタのみを閉めて紙幣を搬送路へ繰出す際に筐体シャッタを閉めるようにすれば、紙幣を返却するときに投入部シャッタだけを開けばよく、顧客へ紙幣を返却するときに時間を短縮することができる。
In addition, although it demonstrated as performing a deposit transaction in each said Example, since it should just be a transaction which receives a banknote from a customer, even if it adapts to a transfer transaction, the effect similar to the above can be acquired.
In each of the above embodiments, the housing shutter and the insertion unit shutter are closed when measuring the surface humidity of the banknote. However, when the surface humidity of the banknote is measured, only the insertion unit shutter is closed to transfer the banknote. If the housing shutter is closed when the bill is fed out, it is only necessary to open the insertion unit shutter when returning the bill, and the time can be shortened when returning the bill to the customer.

なお、上記実施例2および実施例3において、熱風を吹き付けた後の紙幣の表面湿度が取込判定値以下となれば紙幣を取引処理を実行するとして説明したが、熱風を吹き付けた場合は別の湿度の判定値として乾燥後湿度判定値(例えば90%RH)を設け、この乾燥後湿度判定値以下となった場合に取引処理を実行するようにすれば、さらに紙幣の搬送を安全に実行することができる。   In addition, in the said Example 2 and Example 3, although it demonstrated as a banknote processing being performed if the surface humidity of the banknote after blowing hot air became below an acquisition determination value, when hot air is blown, it is different. By providing a post-drying humidity judgment value (for example, 90% RH) as the humidity judgment value, and executing transaction processing when the humidity becomes the post-drying humidity judgment value or less, the banknotes can be transported safely. can do.

また、上記実施例2、実施例3において、熱風を発生させるとして説明したが、湿度の低い乾燥空気を送風して紙幣を乾燥させるようにしても上記と同様の効果を得ることができる。
さらに、上記実施例2、実施例3において、湿度センサにより測定した紙幣の湿度が低い場合(例えば20%RH)に熱風を吹き付けて紙幣投入部内の温度を上昇させて紙幣投入部内の湿度を上昇させれば、低い湿度の紙幣を搬送しているときに発生する静電気により紙幣入出金機の各部に異常が生じてしまうことを防止することができる。
Moreover, in the said Example 2 and Example 3, although demonstrated as producing | generating a hot air, even if it blows dry air with low humidity and dries a banknote, the effect similar to the above can be acquired.
Furthermore, in the said Example 2 and Example 3, when the humidity of the banknote measured with the humidity sensor is low (for example, 20% RH), hot air is blown and the temperature in a banknote insertion part is raised and the humidity in a banknote insertion part is raised. By doing so, it is possible to prevent abnormalities from occurring in each part of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine due to static electricity generated when a banknote with low humidity is being conveyed.

さらに、上記各実施例において、紙幣状態測定センサとして湿度センサを用いるとして説明したが、紙幣の帯電電位を測定する静電気センサを用いてもよい。
この場合測定した紙幣の帯電電位が予め設定した判定値よりも高いときに取込不可状態と認識して顧客が選択した取引処理を中断するようにしてもよく、またファンと発熱体を備えている場合は紙幣投入部内の温度を上昇させることにより紙幣投入部内の湿度を上げて紙幣の帯電電位を下げてから取引処理を実行すればよい。
Furthermore, in each said Example, although demonstrated as using a humidity sensor as a banknote state measurement sensor, you may use the electrostatic sensor which measures the charging potential of a banknote.
In this case, when the measured charging potential of the banknote is higher than a preset judgment value, the transaction processing selected by the customer may be interrupted by recognizing that the bill cannot be taken in, and provided with a fan and a heating element. If it is, the transaction processing may be executed after raising the temperature in the bill insertion portion to increase the humidity in the bill insertion portion and lowering the charging potential of the bill.

また、上記各実施例では紙幣入出金機を例に説明したが、例えば券売機や自動販売機等の顧客からの紙幣の受入れを行っている自動取引装置に適用すれば同様の効果を得ることができる。   Moreover, although each said Example demonstrated the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine to the example, if it applies to the automatic transaction apparatus which is accepting the banknote from customers, such as a ticket vending machine and a vending machine, the same effect will be acquired. Can do.
