例えば顧客が現金自動取引装置1との間で紙幣を入金する入金取引を行う場合、紙幣制御部12は、主制御部9等と連携しながら、操作表示部6を介して所定の操作入力を受け付けた後、入出金口5のシャッタを開いて入出金部13内へ紙幣を投入させる。   For example, when a customer performs a deposit transaction for depositing banknotes with the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1, the banknote control unit 12 performs a predetermined operation input via the operation display unit 6 in cooperation with the main control unit 9 or the like. After the acceptance, the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal port 5 is opened to insert the bill into the deposit / withdrawal unit 13.

入出金部13は、紙幣が投入されると、入出金口5のシャッタを閉じてから紙幣を1枚ずつ取り出し、搬送部14へ受け渡す。搬送部14は、紙幣を短辺方向に沿って進行させ、鑑別部15へ搬送する。   When a banknote is inserted, the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 closes the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal port 5 and then removes the banknotes one by one and delivers them to the transport unit 14. The conveyance unit 14 advances the banknote along the short side direction and conveys the bill to the discrimination unit 15.

鑑別部15は、その内部で紙幣を搬送しながら当該紙幣の金種、真偽及び損傷の程度並びに表裏方向等を鑑別し、その鑑別結果を紙幣制御部12へ通知する。また鑑別部15は、内部を搬送する紙幣同士の間隔を測定し、測定結果を紙幣制御部12へ通知する。これに応じて紙幣制御部12は、取得した鑑別結果及び測定結果に基づいて当該紙幣の搬送先を決定する。   The discrimination unit 15 discriminates the denomination, authenticity, degree of damage, front / back direction, and the like of the banknote while conveying the banknote therein, and notifies the banknote control unit 12 of the discrimination result. Moreover, the discrimination part 15 measures the space | interval of the banknotes which convey an inside, and notifies a measurement result to the banknote control part 12. FIG. In response to this, the banknote control unit 12 determines the transport destination of the banknote based on the acquired discrimination result and measurement result.

このとき搬送部14は、鑑別部15において正常と鑑別された紙幣(いわゆる正券)を一時保留部16へ搬送する等して一時的に保留させる一方、取引すべきでないと鑑別された紙幣(いわゆる損券や偽券等)を入出金部13へ搬送して顧客に返却する。   At this time, the transport unit 14 temporarily holds the banknotes (so-called correct bills) identified as normal in the discrimination unit 15 by transporting them to the temporary storage unit 16 and the banknotes identified as not to be traded ( A so-called non-conformity ticket or fake ticket) is conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 and returned to the customer.

その後紙幣制御部12は、操作表示部6(図1)を介して顧客に入金金額を確定させ、一時保留部16に保留している紙幣を鑑別部15へ搬送させてその金種、損傷の程度及び表裏方向等を鑑別させ、その鑑別結果を取得する。   After that, the banknote control unit 12 allows the customer to confirm the deposit amount via the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1), and transports the banknotes held in the temporary storage unit 16 to the discrimination unit 15 so that the denomination and damage of the banknote are controlled. Differentiate the degree and front / back direction, etc., and obtain the discrimination results.

そして紙幣制御部12は、紙幣の損傷の程度が大きければ、これを再利用すべきでない紙幣としてリジェクト庫17へ搬送して収納させ、損傷の程度が小さければ、これを再利用すべき紙幣として搬送部14を介して紙幣収納ユニット18へ搬送させる。   And the banknote control part 12 will convey this to the rejection store | warehouse | chamber 17 as a banknote which should not be reused if the extent of damage of a banknote is large, and if this is small, as a banknote which should be reused It is conveyed to the banknote storage unit 18 via the conveyance unit 14.

紙幣収納ユニット18には、複数の収納カセット35が設けられている。この収納カセット35は、それぞれ対応する金種が予め定められている。このため紙幣収納ユニット18は、搬送されてきた紙幣をその金種に応じた収納カセット35に振り分けて収納させる。   The banknote storage unit 18 is provided with a plurality of storage cassettes 35. Corresponding denominations of the storage cassettes 35 are predetermined. For this reason, the banknote storage unit 18 sorts and stores the banknotes that have been conveyed to the storage cassette 35 corresponding to the denomination.

また、例えば顧客が現金自動取引装置1との間で紙幣を出金する出金取引を行う場合、紙幣制御部12は、主制御部9等と連携しながら、操作表示部6を介して所定の操作入力を受け付けた後、出金すべき金額に応じた紙幣を紙幣収納ユニット18の収納カセット35から繰り出させ、搬送部14により鑑別部15へ搬送して鑑別させる。   For example, when a customer performs a withdrawal transaction in which a banknote is dispensed with the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1, the banknote control unit 12 is predetermined via the operation display unit 6 in cooperation with the main control unit 9 and the like. Is received from the storage cassette 35 of the banknote storage unit 18 and transported to the discrimination unit 15 by the transport unit 14 for discrimination.

紙幣制御部12は、鑑別部15から取得した紙幣の表裏方向に基づき、裏向きの紙幣を表裏反転部40により表向きに反転させた上で入出金部13へ搬送し、入出金口5のシャッタを開いてこの紙幣を顧客に取り出させる。   Based on the front and back direction of the banknote acquired from the discrimination unit 15, the banknote control unit 12 reverses the reverse banknote to the front and back reversing unit 40 and then transports the banknote to the depositing / dispensing unit 13. Open and let the customer pick up this bill.

ここで紙幣制御部12は、入出金口5のシャッタを開いてから所定時間が経過してシャッタを閉じた後にも入出金部13に紙幣が残っていた場合、顧客が当該紙幣を取り忘れたものと見なし、この紙幣を搬送部14により取忘れ保管庫20へ搬送して、他の紙幣と区別できるように保管する。   Here, the banknote control unit 12 has forgotten to remove the banknote when the banknote remains in the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 after the shutter is closed after a lapse of a predetermined time since the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal port 5 is opened. This bill is considered to be a thing, and is transported to the forgotten storage 20 by the transport unit 14 and stored so that it can be distinguished from other bills.

[1−3.表裏反転部の構成]
図3に示すように、表裏反転部40には、外部から紙幣を取り込む搬入搬送路42と、当該搬入搬送路42から分岐し、表向き紙幣を搬送する非反転搬送路44と、裏向き紙幣を反転させ搬送する反転搬送路46と、当該非反転搬送路44と反転搬送路46とが合流し外部へ紙幣を搬出する搬出搬送路48とが形成されている。
[1-3. Front / back reversing part configuration]
As shown in FIG. 3, the front / back reversing unit 40 includes a carry-in conveyance path 42 that takes in banknotes from the outside, a non-reverse conveyance path 44 that branches from the carry-in conveyance path 42, and conveys front-facing banknotes, and backside banknotes. A reverse conveyance path 46 that reverses and conveys, and a carry-out conveyance path 48 that unifies the non-reverse conveyance path 44 and the reverse conveyance path 46 to carry out bills to the outside are formed.

搬入搬送路42は、搬送部14から搬送された紙幣を受け入れ、搬送分岐部分50まで搬送する。   The carry-in conveyance path 42 accepts the banknotes conveyed from the conveyance unit 14 and conveys them to the conveyance branch portion 50.

搬入搬送路42は、搬送分岐部分50において、反転搬送路46と非反転搬送路44とに分岐する。反転搬送路46と非反転搬送路44とは、搬送合流部分52において合流する。   The carry-in conveyance path 42 branches into a reverse conveyance path 46 and a non-reverse conveyance path 44 at the conveyance branch portion 50. The reverse conveyance path 46 and the non-reverse conveyance path 44 merge at the conveyance junction portion 52.

搬入搬送路42には、当該搬入搬送路42を通過する紙幣を検出する紙幣検出部54が設けられている。   The carry-in conveyance path 42 is provided with a banknote detection unit 54 that detects a banknote passing through the carry-in conveyance path 42.

搬送分岐部分50には、図示しないソレノイド等により回動可能に構成され、反転搬送路46又は非反転搬送路44へ紙幣の搬送を振り分ける搬送切替部56が設けられている。   The conveyance branch portion 50 is configured to be rotatable by a solenoid (not shown) or the like, and is provided with a conveyance switching unit 56 that distributes the conveyance of banknotes to the reverse conveyance path 46 or the non-reverse conveyance path 44.

搬送切替部56は、非反転搬送路44へ表向き紙幣を振り分ける非反転搬送路振分位置P1か、反転搬送路46へ裏向き紙幣を振り分ける反転搬送路振分位置P2の何れかの状態を取る。   The conveyance switching unit 56 takes either the non-reverse conveyance path distribution position P1 for distributing the front-facing banknotes to the non-reverse conveyance path 44 or the reverse conveyance path distribution position P2 for distributing the reverse-side banknotes to the reverse conveyance path 46. .

搬送切替部56は、紙幣検出部54において紙幣の進行方向先端が検出された時点から所定時間経過後であって、当該紙幣の先端が搬送分岐部分50に到達する前の時点において、非反転搬送路振分位置P1か反転搬送路振分位置P2の何れかに回動する。   The conveyance switching unit 56 performs non-reversal conveyance after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the banknote detection unit 54 detects the leading edge of the banknote in the traveling direction and before the leading edge of the banknote reaches the conveyance branch portion 50. It rotates to either the path distribution position P1 or the reverse conveyance path distribution position P2.

反転搬送路46は、裏向き紙幣を搬送分岐部分50から反転プール部58へ搬送する反転前搬送路60と、反転プール部58と、表裏反転された裏向き紙幣を反転プール部58から搬送合流部分52へ搬送する反転後搬送路62とにより構成される。   The reversal conveyance path 46 conveys the reverse banknote from the reversal pool section 58, the pre-reversal conveyance path 60 that conveys the reverse banknote from the conveyance branch portion 50 to the reversal pool section 58, and the reverse pool section 58. The post-reversal transport path 62 transports to the portion 52.

反転プール部58は、内部に空間を有し、反転前搬送路60から進入した裏向き紙幣の進行方向を転換させて反転後搬送路62へ導く。   The reversal pool unit 58 has a space inside, and changes the traveling direction of the reverse banknotes that have entered from the pre-reversal conveyance path 60 and guides it to the post-reversal conveyance path 62.

反転プール部58と反転後搬送路62との間には、搬送される裏向き紙幣の一側面側において、円筒状でなり図示しない駆動モータにより図中反時計方向に回転可能に構成された取込ローラ64と、当該取込ローラ64と同軸上に弾性部材で形成された羽根車66とが設けられている。   Between the reversal pool part 58 and the post-reversal transport path 62, a take-up that is cylindrical and is configured to be rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the figure by a drive motor (not shown) on one side of the reverse banknote to be transported. A take-in roller 64 and an impeller 66 formed of an elastic member coaxially with the take-in roller 64 are provided.

取込ローラ64の下側には、搬送される裏向き紙幣の他側面側において、当該取込ローラ64と対向する箇所に円筒状でなる搬送ローラ68が設けられている。搬送ローラ68は、図示しない付勢手段により、取込ローラ64に向かって押し付けられている。   Below the take-in roller 64, a cylindrical carrying roller 68 is provided at a position facing the take-in roller 64 on the other side of the face-down banknote to be conveyed. The conveying roller 68 is pressed toward the take-in roller 64 by an urging means (not shown).

このため搬送ローラ68は、当該搬送ローラ68の外周面が取込ローラ64の外周面に押し付けられることにより、当該取込ローラ64の回転に連れ回されて図中時計回りに回転する。   For this reason, the conveyance roller 68 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the drawing by the rotation of the take-in roller 64 when the outer circumference surface of the carry roller 68 is pressed against the outer circumference surface of the take-in roller 64.

羽根車66は、反転プール部58に突入した裏向き紙幣の進行方向の後端部に接触することにより、当該裏向き紙幣を反転後搬送路62に向かって移動させ進行方向を転換させる。   The impeller 66 contacts the rear end portion of the backward banknote that has entered the reversal pool portion 58, thereby moving the reverse banknote toward the post-reversal conveyance path 62 to change the traveling direction.

さらに搬送ローラ68と取込ローラ64とは、進行方向が転換された裏向き紙幣の先端部を挟持して反転後搬送路62へ引き込む。   Furthermore, the conveyance roller 68 and the take-in roller 64 pinch the leading edge of the reverse-facing banknote whose direction of travel is changed, and draw it into the conveyance path 62 after reversal.

反転後搬送路62には、当該反転後搬送路62内に露出可能に構成され、裏向き紙幣の搬送を遮断する遮断板70が設けられている。   The post-reversal transport path 62 is provided with a blocking plate 70 that is configured to be exposed in the post-reversal transport path 62 and that blocks the transport of reverse-facing banknotes.

遮断板70は、アクチュエータ等でなる紙幣保持切替部72により、反転後搬送路62に露出する方向である遮断板露出方向D1と、反転後搬送路62から退避する方向である遮断板退避方向D2とに進退自在に構成されている。   The blocking plate 70 is configured to be exposed to the post-reversal conveyance path 62 by a banknote holding switching unit 72 made of an actuator or the like, and the blocking plate retracting direction D2 is a direction to retract from the post-reversal conveyance path 62. It is configured to move forward and backward.

以下では、搬送切替部56、取込ローラ64、搬送ローラ68、遮断板70及び紙幣保持切替部72をまとめて紙幣搬送制御部74とも呼ぶ。   Hereinafter, the conveyance switching unit 56, the take-in roller 64, the conveyance roller 68, the blocking plate 70, and the banknote holding switching unit 72 are collectively referred to as a banknote conveyance control unit 74.

紙幣保持切替部72は、搬送ローラ68にも接続されており、当該搬送ローラ68を取込ローラ64から離隔する方向であるローラ駆動断絶方向D3に移動させると共に、当該搬送ローラ68を取込ローラ64に近接する方向であるローラ駆動伝達方向D4に移動させる。   The banknote holding switching unit 72 is also connected to the transport roller 68 and moves the transport roller 68 in a roller driving disconnection direction D3 that is a direction away from the take-in roller 64, and also takes the transport roller 68 into the take-in roller. 64 is moved in the roller drive transmission direction D4 which is a direction close to 64.

裏向き紙幣を反転後搬送路62において一旦停止させて保留する状態である紙幣保留状態において、紙幣保持切替部72は、遮断板70を遮断板露出方向D1に伸ばすことにより遮断板露出位置P11へ移動させ、方向転換された裏向き紙幣の先端を反転後搬送路62内で遮断板70に当接させ停止させる。   In the banknote holding state, which is a state in which the reverse banknote is temporarily stopped and held in the conveyance path 62 after reversing, the banknote holding switching unit 72 extends to the shielding plate exposure position P11 by extending the shielding plate 70 in the shielding plate exposure direction D1. The tip of the reversed banknote that has been changed in direction is brought into contact with the blocking plate 70 in the post-inversion conveyance path 62 and stopped.

それと同時に紙幣保持切替部72は、搬送ローラ68をローラ駆動断絶方向D3に移動させることにより、裏向き紙幣を搬送する力を切断し、遮断板70に当接し停止している裏向き紙幣に対して力を加えないようにする。   At the same time, the banknote holding switching unit 72 moves the transport roller 68 in the roller driving disconnection direction D3 to cut the force for transporting the reverse banknote, and against the reverse banknote that is in contact with the blocking plate 70 and stopped. Do not apply force.

このとき、取込ローラ64は依然として回転し続けているため、羽根車66と裏向き紙幣とは接触し続けることになる。   At this time, since the take-in roller 64 continues to rotate, the impeller 66 and the reverse banknote continue to contact each other.

弾性部材でなる羽根車66が裏向き紙幣に接触し反転後搬送路62に引き込む力は、取込ローラ64と搬送ローラ68とが裏向き紙幣を挟持し搬送する力よりも遙かに弱いため、羽根車66のみが接触していた場合、裏向き紙幣に大きな力は加わらない。   The force that the impeller 66 made of an elastic member contacts the back-facing banknote and pulls into the transport path 62 after being reversed is much weaker than the force that the take-in roller 64 and the transporting roller 68 sandwich and transport the back-facing banknote. When only the impeller 66 is in contact, no large force is applied to the face-down banknote.

このため、羽根車66に接触され続けていたとしても、裏向き紙幣は変形することなく、反転後搬送路62内において遮断板70により保持される。   For this reason, even if it continues to be in contact with the impeller 66, the reverse banknote is not deformed and is held by the blocking plate 70 in the post-reversal conveyance path 62.

なお紙幣保留状態においては、裏向き紙幣は既に表裏反転されているため実際には表向きとなっているが、説明の都合上、反転搬送路46へ搬送された紙幣であれば、既に表裏反転された状態であったとしても裏向き紙幣と呼ぶ。   Note that in the banknote holding state, the reverse banknote is already turned upside down because it has already been turned upside down, but for convenience of explanation, if it is a banknote transported to the reversal transport path 46, the front and back are already turned upside down. Even if it is in a state, it is called a face-down banknote.

一方、裏向き紙幣を反転後搬送路62において停止させずに通過させる状態である紙幣通過状態において、紙幣搬送制御部74は、保留した裏向き紙幣を解放して反転後搬送路62から搬送合流部分52に向かって送り出す。   On the other hand, in the banknote passing state, which is a state in which the reverse banknote is allowed to pass through the post-reversal transport path 62 without being stopped, the banknote transport control unit 74 releases the held back-side banknote and transports it from the post-reversal transport path 62. Deliver toward part 52.

具体的に紙幣保持切替部72は、遮断板70を遮断板退避方向D2に退避させ遮断板退避位置P12へ移動させると共に、搬送ローラ68をローラ駆動伝達方向D4に移動させて取込ローラ64に接触させることにより、紙幣に対し取込ローラ64の回転力を伝達させる。   Specifically, the banknote holding switching unit 72 moves the blocking plate 70 in the blocking plate retracting direction D2 and moves it to the blocking plate retracting position P12, and moves the transport roller 68 in the roller drive transmission direction D4 to the take-in roller 64. By making it contact, the rotational force of the taking-in roller 64 is transmitted with respect to a banknote.

反転後搬送路62は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣を搬送合流部分52へ搬送する。   The post-reversal conveyance path 62 conveys the reversed face-down banknote to the conveyance junction 52.

搬出搬送路48は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣を搬送合流部分52から入出金部13へ向かって搬出する。   The carry-out conveyance path 48 carries the direction-changed reverse banknotes from the conveyance junction 52 toward the deposit / withdrawal unit 13.

このように紙幣搬送制御部74は、裏向き紙幣を反転後搬送路62において一旦停止させて保持する紙幣保留状態と、裏向き紙幣を保持せず通過させる紙幣通過状態とを切り替えることにより、反転後搬送路62から裏向き紙幣を送り出すタイミングを調整することができる。   In this way, the banknote transport control unit 74 reverses by switching between the banknote holding state in which the reverse banknote is temporarily stopped and held in the post-reversal transport path 62 and the banknote passage state in which the reverse banknote is passed without being held. It is possible to adjust the timing at which the reverse banknote is sent out from the rear conveyance path 62.

ここで、搬送分岐部分50から搬送合流部分52までにおける、非反転搬送路44の長さである非反転搬送路長は、反転搬送路46の長さである反転搬送路長よりも短く構成されている。   Here, the non-inverted transport path length that is the length of the non-reversed transport path 44 from the transport branching portion 50 to the transport junction portion 52 is configured to be shorter than the reverse transport path length that is the length of the reverse transport path 46. ing.

このため、表向き紙幣が表裏反転部40に搬入されてから非反転搬送路44を通過し搬出されるまでにかかる時間である表向き紙幣所要時間NTuは、裏向き紙幣が表裏反転部40に搬入されてから反転搬送路46を通過し搬出されるまでにかかる時間である裏向き紙幣所要時間NTdよりも短くなる。   For this reason, the front-side banknote required time NTu, which is the time it takes from passing the front-side banknote into the front-back reversing unit 40 and passing through the non-reversing conveyance path 44, is the back-side banknote being carried into the front-back reversing unit 40. It becomes shorter than the reverse bill required time NTd, which is the time taken for the paper to pass through the reverse conveyance path 46 and be carried out.

[1−4.表裏反転部の制御]
[1−4−1.表向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
かかる構成において、図4に示すように表向き紙幣BLuを取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は搬送切替部56を非反転搬送路振分位置P1に切り替え、表向き紙幣BLuに非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。
[1-4. Control of front / back reversing part]
[1-4-1. When taking up face-up banknotes]
In this configuration, when the front-facing banknote BLu is taken as shown in FIG. 4, the front / back reversing section 40 switches the transport switching section 56 to the non-reversing transport path distribution position P1 and passes the front-facing banknote BLu through the non-reversing transport path 44. Then, it is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction portion 52.

[1−4−2.裏向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
一方図5に示すように裏向き紙幣BLdを取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、反転前搬送路60を介して裏向き紙幣BLdを反転プール部58へ進入させる。続いて表裏反転部40は、表裏方向が反転された裏向き紙幣BLdを、反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。
[1-4-2. When taking back-facing banknotes]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the reverse banknote BLd is captured, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the conveyance switching unit 56 to the reverse conveyance path distribution position P <b> 2 and reverses the reverse banknote BLd via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60. Enter the pool 58. Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 40 transports the reverse banknote BLd whose front / back direction is reversed through the post-reversal transport path 62 to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction 52.

[1−4−3.裏向き紙幣の次に表向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
また一方図6に示すように裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に表向き紙幣BLu1を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は、まず搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、先行する裏向き紙幣BLd1を反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。
[1-4-3. When a face-up banknote is taken after a face-down banknote]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken after the back-side banknote BLd1, the front / back reversing unit 40 first switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path sorting position P2, and the preceding back-side banknote BLd1. Is made to enter the reversal pool section 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

続いて表裏反転部40は、紙幣保持切替部72を紙幣保留状態とし、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd1を、反転後搬送路62内に停止させて保持する。   Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 40 places the banknote holding switching unit 72 in the banknote holding state, and stops and holds the reversed banknote BLd <b> 1 whose direction has been changed in the post-reversal conveyance path 62.

具体的に紙幣保持切替部72は、紙幣検出部54において裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が検出された時点から所定時間経過後であって、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が遮断板70に到達する前の時点において当該遮断板70を遮断板露出方向D1に伸ばすことにより遮断板露出位置P11へ移動させ、反転後搬送路62を遮断する。   Specifically, the banknote holding switching unit 72 is after a predetermined time has elapsed since the leading edge of the backward banknote BLd1 was detected by the banknote detector 54 and before the leading edge of the backward banknote BLd1 reached the blocking plate 70. At this point, the shield plate 70 is moved to the shield plate exposure position P11 by extending it in the shield plate exposure direction D1, and the post-reversal conveyance path 62 is blocked.

その後表裏反転部40は、搬送切替部56を非反転搬送路振分位置P1に切り替え、後行の表向き紙幣BLu1に非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the conveyance switching unit 56 to the non-inverted conveyance path distribution position P <b> 1, passes the non-inversion conveyance path 44 to the subsequent front-facing banknote BLu <b> 1, and carries the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction 52. Transport to.

このように表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に表向き紙幣BLu1を取り込んだ場合、紙幣保留状態とし、表向き紙幣BLuに非反転搬送路44を通過させる。   Thus, when the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken in after the back-side banknote BLd1, the front-back reversing unit 40 sets the banknote holding state and allows the front-side banknote BLu to pass through the non-reverse conveyance path 44.

後行の表向き紙幣BLu1に続いて、さらに表向き紙幣BLu2(図示せず)を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は、紙幣保持切替部72における紙幣保留状態を維持し、表向き紙幣BLu2に非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   When the front banknote BLu2 (not shown) is further taken in after the succeeding front banknote BLu1, the front / back reversing unit 40 maintains the banknote holding state in the banknote holding switching unit 72 and transports the front banknote BLu2 to the front banknote BLu2. It passes through the path 44 and is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction 52.

このように表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に表向き紙幣BLu1を取り込むことにより紙幣保持切替部72を紙幣保留状態とした後に、さらに表向き紙幣BLu2を取り込んだ場合、当該表向き紙幣BLu2に非反転搬送路44を通過させる。   As described above, when the front-side banknote BLu2 is taken in after the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken after the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken after the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken after the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken in, the front-back reversing part 40 The reverse conveying path 44 is passed.

その後図7に示すように正常接近状態(後述する)の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は、搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、反転前搬送路60を介して裏向き紙幣BLd2を反転プール部58へ進入させる。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, when the reverse facing banknote BLd <b> 2 in a normal approach state (described later) is taken in, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path distribution position P <b> 2 and the pre-reversal transport path 60. The banknote BLd2 facing backward is made to enter the reversal pool unit 58 via.

これと同時に表裏反転部40は、紙幣保持切替部72を紙幣通過状態とし、保持していた裏向き紙幣BLd1に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   At the same time, the front / back reversing unit 40 puts the banknote holding switching unit 72 into the banknote passing state, passes the post-reversing conveyance path 62 through the back-facing banknote BLd1 and holds it to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction portion 52. Transport.

このとき表裏反転部40は、仮に裏向き紙幣BLd2が非反転搬送路44を通過し搬送合流部分52を通過した場合のタイミングで、裏向き紙幣BLd1が搬送合流部分52を通過するように、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1を搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   At this time, the front / back reversing unit 40 is configured so that the back-facing banknote BLd1 passes through the transport merge section 52 at a timing when the back-facing banknote BLd2 passes through the non-reverse transport path 44 and passes through the transport merge section 52. The face-down banknote BLd1 is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48.

このため表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd2が、あたかも非反転搬送路44を通過したようなタイミングで、保留していた裏向き紙幣BLd1を搬送することができる。   For this reason, the front-back inversion part 40 can convey the back-facing banknote BLd1 which has been held at the timing as if the back-side banknote BLd2 has passed through the non-inverted transport path 44.

これにより表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣所要時間NTdよりも短い表向き紙幣所要時間NTuとなるように裏向き紙幣BLd1を搬送することができるため、裏向き紙幣BLd1を反転後搬送路62において無駄に保留することなく、迅速に搬送することができる。   As a result, the front / back reversing unit 40 can transport the reverse-side banknote BLd1 so that the front-side banknote required time NTu is shorter than the reverse-side banknote required time NTd. It is possible to carry it quickly without holding it.

このように表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に表向き紙幣BLuを取り込んだ場合、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1を反転後搬送路62において保持している間に、後行の表向き紙幣BLuに非反転搬送路44を通過させ、その後裏向き紙幣BLd2を再び取り込んだ際に、保持していた裏向き紙幣BLd1を解放し搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   As described above, when the front-side banknote BLu is taken in after the back-side banknote BLd1, the front-back reversing unit 40 is not in contact with the subsequent front-side banknote BLu while holding the backside banknote BLd1 in the post-reversal conveyance path 62. When the reverse banking path 44 is passed and then the back-facing banknote BLd2 is taken in again, the held back-side banknote BLd1 is released and transported to the carry-out transport path 48.

その後裏向き紙幣BLd2の後続にさらに裏向き紙幣BLd3(図示せず)が存在する場合、表裏反転部40は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd2に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, when there is a reverse banknote BLd3 (not shown) subsequent to the reverse banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing unit 40 passes the post-reversal conveyance path 62 through the reversed banknote BLd2 whose direction has been changed, and a conveyance merge portion It is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via 52.

これと共に表裏反転部40は、搬送切替部56の反転搬送路振分位置P2を維持することにより、反転前搬送路60を介して後行の裏向き紙幣BLd3を反転プール部58へ進入させる。   At the same time, the front / back reversing unit 40 maintains the reverse conveyance path distribution position P <b> 2 of the conveyance switching unit 56, thereby causing the succeeding reverse banknote BLd <b> 3 to enter the reverse pool unit 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

一方、裏向き紙幣BLd2の後続に紙幣が存在しない場合、表裏反転部40は、搬送すべき表向き紙幣BLuを全て搬送した後に、紙幣保持切替部72を紙幣保留状態から紙幣通過状態に切り替え、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd2を、最終紙幣として反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   On the other hand, when no banknote is present behind the reverse-facing banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the banknote holding switching section 72 from the banknote holding state to the banknote passing state after transporting all the front-facing banknotes BLu to be transported. The converted face-down banknote BLd2 passes through the post-inversion transport path 62 as the final banknote and is transported to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction portion 52.

[1−4−4.裏向き紙幣の次に最低紙幣間隔以上の間隔を空けて裏向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
一方表裏反転部40は、先行の裏向き紙幣BLd1の次に、所定の最低紙幣間隔Dblm以上の間隔を空けて後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、紙幣検出部54において当該裏向き紙幣BLd2の進行方向先端が検出された時点t1から所定時間経過後に遮断板70を遮断板退避位置P12へ移動させると共に搬送ローラ68をローラ駆動伝達方向D4に移動させ紙幣通過状態とし、裏向き紙幣BLd1に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。
[1-4-4. When a back-facing banknote is captured with a gap of at least the minimum banknote spacing next to the back-facing banknote]
On the other hand, when the front / back reversing unit 40 fetches the succeeding back-facing banknote BLd2 at an interval of a predetermined minimum banknote spacing Dblm or more after the preceding back-facing banknote BLd1, the banknote detection section 54 performs the back-facing banknote. After a predetermined time has elapsed from the time t1 when the leading edge of BLd2 is detected, the blocking plate 70 is moved to the blocking plate retracting position P12 and the transport roller 68 is moved in the roller drive transmission direction D4 to enter the bill passing state, so that the reverse-facing bill BLd1. Then, it passes through the conveyance path 62 after being reversed, and is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction 52.

続いて表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の進行方向後端が遮断板70を通過した後に、裏向き紙幣BLd2の進行方向先端が遮断板70に到達する前の時点t2において当該遮断板70を遮断板露出位置P11へ移動させると共に搬送ローラ68をローラ駆動断絶方向D3に移動させ紙幣保留状態とし、反転後搬送路62を遮断する。   Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 40 is configured such that, after the rear end of the banknote BLd1 in the moving direction passes through the blocking plate 70, the front blocking plate 70 at the time t2 before the leading edge of the reverse banknote BLd2 reaches the blocking plate 70. Is moved to the blocking plate exposure position P11, and the transport roller 68 is moved in the roller drive disconnection direction D3 to enter the banknote holding state, and the post-reversal transport path 62 is blocked.

以下では、連続する紙幣が互いに最低紙幣間隔Dblm以上の間隔で搬送されている状態を、正常接近状態とも呼ぶ。   Below, the state in which the continuous banknote is mutually conveyed by the space | interval more than the minimum banknote space | interval Dblm is also called a normal approach state.

その後裏向き紙幣BLd2の後続にさらに正常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd3が存在する場合、表裏反転部40は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd2に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, when there is a normally-facing backside banknote BLd3 subsequent to the backside banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing unit 40 passes the post-reverse transport path 62 through the reversed banknote BLd2 whose direction has been changed, and the transport merging portion 52 To the carry-out conveyance path 48.

紙幣制御部12は、このような最低紙幣間隔Dblmを予め算出する。具体的には紙幣制御部12は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の進行方向先端が紙幣検出部54において検出された時点t1から、裏向き紙幣BLd1に遮断板70を通過させ当該遮断板70を遮断板露出位置P11とする時点t2までに要する時間を所要時間tcとする。   The banknote control unit 12 calculates such a minimum banknote interval Dblm in advance. Specifically, the banknote control unit 12 causes the blocking plate 70 to pass through the reverse banknote BLd1 from the time t1 when the leading edge of the reverse banknote BLd1 is detected by the banknote detection unit 54 and exposes the blocking plate 70 to the blocking plate. A time required until the time point t2 at which the position P11 is set is defined as a required time tc.

紙幣制御部12は、所要時間tcと、表裏反転部40内部において紙幣を搬送する紙幣搬送速度vとから、最低紙幣間隔Dblmを予め算出する。具体的には紙幣制御部12は、所要時間tcと紙幣搬送速度vとを乗算することにより、最低紙幣間隔Dblmを算出する。   The banknote control part 12 calculates the minimum banknote space | interval Dblm from the required time tc and the banknote conveyance speed v which conveys a banknote inside the front-back inversion part 40 previously. Specifically, the bill control unit 12 calculates the minimum bill interval Dblm by multiplying the required time tc and the bill transport speed v.

紙幣制御部12は、連続する裏向き紙幣同士の間隔が最低紙幣間隔Dblm以上である場合、当該裏向き紙幣同士が反転搬送路46内部において接触する可能性は低いと判断する。   The banknote control part 12 judges that the possibility that the said backside banknotes will contact in the inside of the inversion conveyance path 46 is low, when the space | interval of continuous backside banknotes is more than the minimum banknote space | interval Dblm.

[1−4−5.裏向き紙幣の次に最低紙幣間隔未満の間隔を空けて裏向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
一方表裏反転部40は、先行の裏向き紙幣BLd1の次に、最低紙幣間隔Dblm未満の間隔を空けて裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込む場合がある。以下では、連続する紙幣が互いに最低紙幣間隔Dblm未満の間隔で近接している状態を、異常接近状態とも呼ぶ。
[1-4-5. When a back-facing banknote is captured with a gap less than the minimum banknote spacing next to a back-facing banknote]
On the other hand, the front / back reversing unit 40 may take in the back-facing banknote BLd2 with an interval less than the minimum banknote spacing Dblm next to the preceding back-side banknote BLd1. Hereinafter, a state in which consecutive banknotes are close to each other with an interval of less than the minimum banknote interval Dblm is also referred to as an abnormal approach state.

先行の裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に異常接近状態である後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は、まず搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、先行する裏向き紙幣BLd1を反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。   When the succeeding back-facing banknote BLd2 that is in an abnormally close state after the preceding back-facing banknote BLd1, the front / back reversing section 40 first switches the transport switching section 56 to the reverse transport path distribution position P2, and the preceding back The facing banknote BLd1 is caused to enter the reversal pool unit 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

続いて表裏反転部40は、紙幣保持切替部72を紙幣保留状態とし、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd1を、反転後搬送路62内に停止させて保持する。   Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 40 places the banknote holding switching unit 72 in the banknote holding state, and stops and holds the reversed banknote BLd <b> 1 whose direction has been changed in the post-reversal conveyance path 62.

具体的に紙幣保持切替部72は、紙幣検出部54において裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が検出された時点から所定時間経過後であって、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が遮断板70に到達する前の時点において当該遮断板70を遮断板露出方向D1に伸ばすことにより遮断板露出位置P11へ移動させ、反転後搬送路62を遮断する。   Specifically, the banknote holding switching unit 72 is after a predetermined time has elapsed since the leading edge of the backward banknote BLd1 was detected by the banknote detector 54 and before the leading edge of the backward banknote BLd1 reached the blocking plate 70. At this point, the shield plate 70 is moved to the shield plate exposure position P11 by extending it in the shield plate exposure direction D1, and the post-reversal conveyance path 62 is blocked.

その後表裏反転部40は、搬送切替部56を非反転搬送路振分位置P1に切り替え、後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2に非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the non-reversing transport path distribution position P1, passes the non-reversing transport path 44 to the succeeding reverse-facing banknote BLd2, and carries out the transporting transport path via the transport junction 52. Transport to 48.

このように表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、紙幣保留状態として裏向き紙幣BLd1を保留し、裏向き紙幣BLd2に非反転搬送路44を通過させる。   As described above, when the reverse banknote BLd2 in the abnormally approaching state is taken in after the reverse banknote BLd1, the front / back reversing unit 40 holds the reverse banknote BLd1 as a banknote holding state and transfers the reverse banknote BLd2 to the non-reverse transport path 44. Pass through.

後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2に続いて、さらに異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd3を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部40は、搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、裏向き紙幣BLd3を反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。   When the back banknote BLd3 in an abnormally close state is taken in after the back banknote BLd2 in the subsequent direction, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path sorting position P2, and the back banknote BLd3. Is made to enter the reversal pool section 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

これと同時に表裏反転部40は、紙幣保持切替部72を紙幣通過状態へ切り替え、裏向き紙幣BLd1に反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   At the same time, the front / back reversing unit 40 switches the banknote holding switching unit 72 to the banknote passing state, passes the reverse-side banknote BLd1 through the post-reversal conveyance path 62, and conveys it to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction portion 52.

裏向き紙幣BLd3の後続に紙幣が存在しない場合、表裏反転部40は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd3を、反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   When there is no banknote following the reverse-facing banknote BLd3, the front / back reversing unit 40 transports the reversed banknote BLd3 whose direction has been changed to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction portion 52 through the post-reversal transport path 62. To do.

[1−5.紙幣搬送先決定処理手順]
紙幣入出金機10において出金取引の際収納カセット35から繰り出した紙幣の搬送先を決定する紙幣搬送先決定処理の具体的な処理手順について、図8のフローチャートを用いて説明する。紙幣制御部12は、操作表示部6に対する操作により顧客から出金取引の指示を受け付けると、所定の記憶部から紙幣搬送先決定処理プログラムを読み出して実行することにより紙幣搬送先決定処理手順RT1を開始し、ステップSP1へ移る。
[1-5. Banknote destination determination processing procedure]
The specific processing procedure of the banknote conveyance destination determination process which determines the conveyance destination of the banknote drawn | fed out from the storage cassette 35 in the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG. The banknote control part 12 will read banknote conveyance destination determination process program RT1 from the predetermined | prescribed memory | storage part, if the instruction | indication of payment transaction is received from the customer by operation with respect to the operation display part 6, and will perform banknote conveyance destination determination process procedure RT1. Start and move to step SP1.

ステップSP1において紙幣制御部12は、収納カセット35から繰り出した紙幣を鑑別部15へ搬送することにより紙幣を鑑別し、鑑別結果が正常であるか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、このことは、紙幣が正常な紙幣ではないため顧客に出金すべきではないことを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP3へ移る。   In step SP1, the banknote control part 12 discriminates a banknote by conveying the banknote drawn out from the storage cassette 35 to the discrimination part 15, and determines whether or not the discrimination result is normal. If a negative result is obtained here, this indicates that the banknote is not a normal banknote and should not be withdrawn to the customer. At this time, the banknote control unit 12 proceeds to step SP3.

一方ステップSP1において肯定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部12はステップSP2へ移り、紙幣が出金対象の金種であるか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、このことは、紙幣が出金対象の紙幣ではないため顧客に出金すべきではないことを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP3へ移る。   On the other hand, when a positive result is obtained in step SP1, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP2 and determines whether or not the banknote is a denomination target. If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the banknote is not a banknote to be withdrawn, so that it should not be dispensed to the customer. At this time, the banknote control unit 12 proceeds to step SP3.

ステップSP3において紙幣制御部12は、紙幣の搬送先をリジェクト庫17に決定し当該紙幣をリジェクト庫17へ搬送する。   In step SP <b> 3, the banknote control unit 12 determines the banknote transport destination as the reject box 17 and transports the banknote to the reject box 17.

一方ステップSP2において肯定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部12はステップSP4へ移り、紙幣入出金機10において表裏反転を実施するよう設定されているか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、このことは、紙幣入出金機10において裏向き紙幣が存在したとしても表裏反転を実施する必要がないと設定されていることを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP11へ移り、当該紙幣の搬送先を入出金部13に決定し当該紙幣を入出金部13へ搬送することにより、顧客に出金する。   On the other hand, when an affirmative result is obtained in step SP2, the banknote control unit 12 proceeds to step SP4 and determines whether or not the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 is set to perform front / back reversal. If a negative result is obtained here, this means that it is set that it is not necessary to reverse the front and back even if there is a reverse banknote in the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 10, and at this time the banknote control unit 12 is set. Moves to step SP11, determines the transport destination of the banknote to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 and transports the banknote to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13, thereby withdrawing money to the customer.

一方ステップSP4において肯定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部12はステップSP5へ移り、鑑別結果が表向き紙幣であるか否かを判定する。ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは、紙幣が表向き紙幣であるために表裏反転を実施する必要がないことを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP6へ移り、当該紙幣の搬送先を入出金部13に決定し当該紙幣を入出金部13へ搬送することにより、顧客に出金する。   On the other hand, when a positive result is obtained in step SP4, the banknote control unit 12 proceeds to step SP5 and determines whether or not the discrimination result is a face-up banknote. If an affirmative result is obtained here, this means that the banknote is a front-facing banknote, so that it is not necessary to carry out the front / back reversal. At this time, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP6 and transports the banknote. Is withdrawn to the depositing / withdrawing unit 13 and the banknote is conveyed to the depositing / withdrawing unit 13.

一方ステップSP5において否定結果が得られると、このことは、紙幣が裏向き紙幣であるために表裏反転を実施する必要があることを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP7へ移り、当該裏向き紙幣よりも先行する紙幣の搬送先が表裏反転部40の反転搬送路46であるか否かを判定する。   On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP5, this means that the banknote is a face-down banknote, and therefore it is necessary to reverse the front and back. At this time, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP7, and the reverse side It is determined whether or not the transport destination of the banknote preceding the facing banknote is the reverse transport path 46 of the front / back reversing unit 40.

ここで否定結果が得られると、このことは、先行する紙幣が表向き紙幣であるため、後行する裏向き紙幣が反転搬送路46に搬送されたとしても当該裏向き紙幣は先行する紙幣と接触するおそれがないことを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP8へ移り、当該紙幣(後行する裏向き紙幣)の搬送先を反転搬送路46に決定し当該紙幣を反転搬送路46へ搬送することにより、表裏反転を実施する。   If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the preceding banknote is a front-facing banknote, so that even if a subsequent backside banknote is transported to the reverse transport path 46, the backside banknote contacts the preceding banknote At this time, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP8, determines the conveyance destination of the banknote (backward facing banknote) as the reverse conveyance path 46, and conveys the banknote to the reverse conveyance path 46. By doing so, reverse the front and back.

一方ステップSP7において肯定結果が得られると、このことは、先行する紙幣が裏向き紙幣であり、後行する裏向き紙幣が反転搬送路46に搬送された際に当該後行の裏向き紙幣は先行する裏向き紙幣と接触する可能性があることを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP9へ移り、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行の裏向き紙幣との間隔が最低紙幣間隔Dblm以上か否かを判定する。   On the other hand, if an affirmative result is obtained in step SP7, this means that the preceding banknote is a reverse banknote, and when the backward banknote is conveyed to the reverse conveyance path 46, the subsequent banknote is It represents that there is a possibility of contact with the preceding back-facing banknote. At this time, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP9, and the interval between the succeeding back-facing banknote and the preceding back-facing banknote is equal to or greater than the minimum banknote interval Dblm. Determine whether or not.

ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行の裏向き紙幣とは異常接近状態ではないため、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行する裏向き紙幣とは反転搬送路46内において接触する可能性が低いことを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP8へ移り、当該紙幣(後行する裏向き紙幣)の搬送先を反転搬送路46に決定し当該紙幣を反転搬送路46へ搬送することにより、表裏反転を実施する。   If an affirmative result is obtained here, this means that the backward facing banknote and the preceding facing banknote are not in an abnormally close state, so that the backward facing banknote and the preceding facing banknote are reversed and conveyed. This means that the possibility of contact in the path 46 is low. At this time, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP8, determines the transport destination of the banknote (rearward facing banknote) as the reverse transport path 46, and selects the banknote. By carrying it to the reverse carrying path 46, the front and back are reversed.

一方ステップSP9において否定結果が得られると、このことは、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行の裏向き紙幣とは異常接近状態であるため、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行する裏向き紙幣とは反転搬送路46内において接触するおそれがあることを表し、このとき紙幣制御部12はステップSP10へ移り、当該紙幣(後行する裏向き紙幣)の搬送先を、反転搬送路46ではなく入出金部13に決定し当該紙幣を非反転搬送路44を介して入出金部13へ搬送することにより、当該裏向き紙幣に表裏反転を実施することなく、顧客に出金する。   On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP9, this means that the succeeding face-down banknote and the preceding face-down banknote are abnormally close to each other. It represents that there is a possibility of contact in the reverse conveyance path 46, and at this time, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP <b> 10, and deposits / withdraws the transport destination of the banknote (backward facing banknote) instead of the reverse conveyance path 46. By determining to the unit 13 and transporting the banknote to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 via the non-inverted transport path 44, the banknote is withdrawn to the customer without reversing the front and back.

続いて紙幣制御部12は、ステップSP12へ移り紙幣搬送先決定処理手順RT1を終了する。   Subsequently, the banknote control unit 12 moves to step SP12 and ends the banknote transport destination determination processing procedure RT1.

このように紙幣制御部12は、収納カセット35から2枚以上連続して繰り出した裏向き紙幣が異常接近状態であるときに、先行の裏向き紙幣と後行の裏向き紙幣との間隔が最低紙幣間隔Dblm以上の場合、当該後行の裏向き紙幣を反転搬送路46へ搬送して表裏反転を実施する一方、先行の裏向き紙幣と後行の裏向き紙幣との間隔が最低紙幣間隔Dblm未満の場合、当該後行の裏向き紙幣を反転搬送路46へは搬送せず、非反転搬送路44を介して入出金部13へ搬送するようにした。   As described above, the banknote control unit 12 has a minimum interval between the preceding banknote and the backward banknote when the banknotes continuously fed out from the storage cassette 35 are in an abnormally close state. When the banknote interval is equal to or greater than Dblm, the succeeding reverse banknote is conveyed to the reversal conveyance path 46 and the front and back are reversed. On the other hand, the interval between the preceding reverse banknote and the subsequent reverse banknote is the minimum banknote distance Dblm. In the case of less than the reverse, the succeeding reverse banknote is not conveyed to the reverse conveyance path 46 but is conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 via the non-reverse conveyance path 44.

これにより紙幣制御部12は、紙幣間隔が狭い裏向き紙幣を連続して反転搬送路46へ搬送してしまうことを防止できる。   Thereby, the banknote control part 12 can prevent conveying the reverse banknote with a narrow banknote space | interval to the inversion conveyance path 46 continuously.

[1−6.紙幣の搬送順序]
以上のような表裏反転部40における処理により、表裏反転部40に搬入される前と搬出された後とで紙幣の順序が変化する様子を以下に述べる。
[1-6. Banknote transport order]
A state in which the order of banknotes is changed before and after being carried into the front and back reversing unit 40 by the processing in the front and back reversing unit 40 as described above will be described below.

[1−6−1.異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣、表向き紙幣及び裏向き紙幣が順次搬入される場合]
まず、第1の条件として図9に示すように、1枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd1、2枚目が表向き紙幣BLu1、3枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd2と鑑別された3枚の紙幣BLが順次表裏反転部40に搬入される場合について述べる。これらの裏向き紙幣BLd1、表向き紙幣BLu1及び裏向き紙幣BLd2は互いに異常接近状態であるとする。
[1-6-1. When a banknote, face-up banknote, and face-down banknote in an abnormally close state are sequentially loaded]
First, as shown in FIG. 9, as the first condition, three banknotes BL in which the first sheet is discriminated from the reverse banknote BLd1, the second is the front banknote BLu1, and the third is the banknote BLd2 are sequentially identified. The case where it carries in to the front / back inversion part 40 is described. These back-facing banknotes BLd1, front-facing banknotes BLu1, and back-facing banknotes BLd2 are assumed to be abnormally close to each other.

この場合、裏向き紙幣BLd1は反転後搬送路62において保持される一方、表向き紙幣BLu1は非反転搬送路44を通過してそのまま表裏反転部40から搬出されるため、当該表向き紙幣BLu1は、表裏反転部40内部において裏向き紙幣BLd1を追い抜き、当該表裏反転部40から最初に搬出される。   In this case, since the reverse banknote BLd1 is held in the post-reversal conveyance path 62, the front banknote BLu1 passes through the non-reverse conveyance path 44 and is unloaded from the front / back reversing unit 40. The reverse banknote BLd1 is overtaken inside the reversing unit 40 and is first carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40.

続いて裏向き紙幣BLd2が表裏反転部40に搬入されると、当該裏向き紙幣BLd2は、裏向き紙幣BLd1に対し異常接近しているわけではないため、反転搬送路46に搬送される。このとき、上述したように、当該裏向き紙幣BLd2が仮に非反転搬送路44を搬送された場合と同じタイミングにおいて、反転後搬送路62に保持されていた裏向き紙幣BLd1が搬出される。   Subsequently, when the reverse banknote BLd2 is carried into the front / back reversing unit 40, the reverse banknote BLd2 is not abnormally approached to the reverse banknote BLd1, and is conveyed to the reverse conveyance path 46. At this time, as described above, the reverse banknote BLd1 held in the post-reversal transport path 62 is carried out at the same timing as when the reverse banknote BLd2 is transported through the non-reverse transport path 44.

このため裏向き紙幣BLd1は、表裏反転部40内部において表向き紙幣BLu1に追い抜かれつつ裏向き紙幣BLd2よりも先行することにより、2番目に表裏反転部40から搬出される。   For this reason, the face-down banknote BLd1 is carried out of the face-back banknote BLd2 while being overtaken by the front-side banknote BLu1 inside the front-back face reversing part 40, and is secondly transported from the front-back face reversing part 40.

裏向き紙幣BLd2は、後続する紙幣BLが存在しないため、紙幣保持切替部72により紙幣通過状態にある反転搬送路46により表裏反転され、表裏反転部40から搬出される。   Since there is no subsequent banknote BL, the reverse banknote BLd2 is reversed by the banknote holding switching unit 72 by the reverse conveyance path 46 in the banknote passing state, and is carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40.

[1−6−2.異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣、裏向き紙幣及び表向き紙幣が順次搬入される場合]
次に、第2の条件として図10に示すように、1枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd1、2枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd2、3枚目が表向き紙幣BLu1と鑑別された3枚の紙幣BLが順次表裏反転部40に搬入される場合について述べる。これらの裏向き紙幣BLd1、裏向き紙幣BLd2及び表向き紙幣BLu1は互いに異常接近状態であるとする。
[1-6-2. When a banknote, face-down banknote, and face-up banknote in an abnormally close state are sequentially loaded]
Next, as shown in FIG. 10, as the second condition, there are three banknotes BL that are distinguished from the first banknote BLd1, the second banknote BLd2, the third banknote BLd1, and the third banknote BLu1. The case where it carries in to the front / back inversion part 40 sequentially is described. These back-facing banknotes BLd1, back-facing banknotes BLd2, and front-facing banknotes BLu1 are assumed to be abnormally close to each other.

この場合、裏向き紙幣BLd1は反転後搬送路62において保持される。続いて裏向き紙幣BLd2が表裏反転部40に搬入されると、当該裏向き紙幣BLd2は裏向き紙幣BLd1と異常接近状態であるため、非反転搬送路44を通過して表裏反転されずにそのまま表裏反転部40から搬出され、表裏反転部40内部において裏向き紙幣BLd1を追い抜き、当該表裏反転部40から最初に搬出される。   In this case, the reverse banknote BLd1 is held in the post-reversal conveyance path 62. Subsequently, when the back-facing banknote BLd2 is carried into the front / back reversing unit 40, the back-facing banknote BLd2 is in an abnormally close state with the back-facing banknote BLd1, and thus passes through the non-reversing conveyance path 44 and is not reversed. It is carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40, passes over the reverse-side banknote BLd 1 inside the front / back reversing unit 40, and is first carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40.

続いて表向き紙幣BLu1が表裏反転部40に搬入されると、当該表向き紙幣BLu1は非反転搬送路44を通過してそのまま表裏反転部40から搬出されるため、表裏反転部40内部において裏向き紙幣BLd1を追い抜き、表裏反転部40から2番目に搬出される。   Subsequently, when the front banknote BLu1 is carried into the front / back reversing section 40, the front banknote BLu1 passes through the non-reversing conveyance path 44 and is carried out from the front / back reversing section 40 as it is. BLd1 is overtaken and secondly carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40.

裏向き紙幣BLd1は、後続する紙幣BLが存在しないため、紙幣保持切替部72が紙幣保留状態から紙幣通過状態に切り替わることにより表裏反転部40から搬出される。   Since there is no subsequent banknote BL, the reverse banknote BLd1 is carried out from the front / back reversing section 40 when the banknote holding switching unit 72 is switched from the banknote holding state to the banknote passing state.

[1−6−3.異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣、裏向き紙幣及び裏向き紙幣が順次搬入される場合]
次に、第3の条件として図11に示すように、1枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd1、2枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd2、3枚目が裏向き紙幣BLd3と鑑別された3枚の紙幣BLが順次表裏反転部40に搬入される場合について述べる。これらの裏向き紙幣BLd1、裏向き紙幣BLd2及び裏向き紙幣BLd3は互いに異常接近状態であるとする。
[1-6-3. When a banknote, face-down banknote, and face-down banknote in an abnormally close state are sequentially loaded]
Next, as shown in FIG. 11 as a third condition, the first sheet is a reverse-facing banknote BLd1, the second is a back-facing banknote BLd2, and the third is a three-sided banknote BLd. Is sequentially carried into the front / back reversing unit 40. These face-down banknotes BLd1, face-down banknotes BLd2, and face-down banknotes BLd3 are assumed to be in an abnormally close state.

この場合、裏向き紙幣BLd1は反転後搬送路62において保持される。続いて裏向き紙幣BLd2が表裏反転部40に搬入されると、当該裏向き紙幣BLd2は裏向き紙幣BLd1と異常接近状態であるため、非反転搬送路44を通過して表裏反転されずにそのまま表裏反転部40から搬出され、表裏反転部40内部において裏向き紙幣BLd1を追い抜き、当該表裏反転部40から最初に搬出される。   In this case, the reverse banknote BLd1 is held in the post-reversal conveyance path 62. Subsequently, when the back-facing banknote BLd2 is carried into the front / back reversing unit 40, the back-facing banknote BLd2 is in an abnormally close state with the back-facing banknote BLd1, and thus passes through the non-reversing conveyance path 44 and is not reversed. It is carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40, passes over the reverse-side banknote BLd 1 inside the front / back reversing unit 40, and is first carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40.

続いて裏向き紙幣BLd3が表裏反転部40に搬入されると、当該裏向き紙幣BLd3は、裏向き紙幣BLd2とは異常接近状態であるが、反転搬送路46に保持されている裏向き紙幣BLd1とは正常接近状態であるため、反転搬送路46に搬送される。このとき、上述したように、当該裏向き紙幣BLd3が仮に非反転搬送路44を搬送された場合と同じタイミングにおいて、反転後搬送路62に保持されていた裏向き紙幣BLd1が搬出される。   Subsequently, when the reverse banknote BLd3 is carried into the front / back reversing unit 40, the reverse banknote BLd3 is in an abnormally close state to the reverse banknote BLd2, but the reverse banknote BLd1 held in the reverse conveyance path 46 is used. Is in the normal approaching state, and thus is conveyed to the reverse conveyance path 46. At this time, as described above, the reverse banknote BLd1 held in the post-reversal transport path 62 is carried out at the same timing as when the reverse banknote BLd3 is transported through the non-reverse transport path 44.

このため裏向き紙幣BLd1は、表裏反転部40内部において裏向き紙幣BLd2に追い抜かれつつ裏向き紙幣BLd3よりも先行することにより、2番目に表裏反転部40から搬出される。   For this reason, the face-down banknote BLd1 is carried out of the face-back banknote BLd2 while being overtaken by the face-back banknote BLd2 in the inside of the front-back face reversing part 40, and is secondly carried out from the front-back face reversing part 40.

裏向き紙幣BLd3は、後続する紙幣BLが存在しないため、紙幣保持切替部72により紙幣通過状態にある反転搬送路46により表裏反転され、表裏反転部40から搬出される。   Since there is no subsequent banknote BL, the reverse banknote BLd3 is reversed by the banknote holding switching unit 72 by the reverse conveyance path 46 in the banknote passing state, and is carried out from the front / back reversing unit 40.

[1−7.動作及び効果]
以上の構成において表裏反転部40は、連続して搬送された裏向き紙幣のうち、先行する先行裏向き紙幣との距離が最低紙幣間隔Dblmよりも小さい後行の後行裏向き紙幣を、表向き紙幣と同様に、反転搬送路46へ搬送せず非反転搬送路44へ搬送するようにした。
[1-7. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, the front / back reversing unit 40 turns the succeeding back / back banknotes facing away from the preceding front / back banknotes, which are transported continuously, with the distance from the preceding preceding back banknote being smaller than the minimum banknote interval Dblm. As with the banknotes, the paper is not conveyed to the reverse conveyance path 46 but is conveyed to the non-reverse conveyance path 44.

これにより表裏反転部40は、先行裏向き紙幣と後行裏向き紙幣とが反転搬送路46において接触してしまうことを防止できる。   Thereby, the front-back inversion part 40 can prevent that a front-facing reverse banknote and a back-facing back banknote contact in the inversion conveyance path 46. FIG.

さらに表裏反転部40は、後行裏向き紙幣が先行裏向き紙幣と一緒に遮断板70を通過してしまうことを防止できる。   Further, the front / back reversing unit 40 can prevent the following reverse banknote from passing through the blocking plate 70 together with the preceding backside banknote.

またさらに表裏反転部40は、後行裏向き紙幣が遮断板70を通過している途中に当該遮断板70が遮断板露出位置P11へ移動して当該後行裏向き紙幣を挟んでしまい、ジャムが発生することを防止できる。   Further, the front / back reversing unit 40 moves to the blocking plate exposure position P11 while the trailing banknote is passing the blocking bank 70, and sandwiches the trailing banknote. Can be prevented.

また紙幣搬送制御部74は、紙幣保留状態において、遮断板70により反転後搬送路62を遮断すると共に搬送ローラ68を取込ローラ64から離隔させることにより、反転搬送路46を搬送される裏向き紙幣BLdを保留する一方、紙幣通過状態において、遮断板70を反転後搬送路62から退避させると共に搬送ローラ68を取込ローラ64に接触させることにより、裏向き紙幣BLdに反転搬送路46を通過させるようにした。   Moreover, the banknote conveyance control part 74 is reversely conveyed by the reverse conveyance path 46 by interrupting | blocking the conveyance path 62 after inversion by the interruption | blocking board 70, and separating the conveyance roller 68 from the taking-in roller 64 in the banknote reservation state. While holding the banknote BLd, in the banknote passing state, the blocking plate 70 is retracted from the post-reversing conveyance path 62 and the conveyance roller 68 is brought into contact with the take-in roller 64 to pass the reverse banknote BLd through the reverse conveyance path 46. I tried to make it.

また表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の次に表向き紙幣BLuを取り込んだ場合、その後さらに裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込むまでは、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1を保留し、表向き紙幣BLuを先に搬送するようにした。   Moreover, when the front-side banknote BLu is taken in next to the front-side banknote BLd1, the front-back banking unit 40 holds the back-side banknote BLd1 and transports the front-side banknote BLu first until the back-side banknote BLd2 is taken in thereafter. I did it.

このため、表裏反転部40は、非反転搬送路長と反転搬送路長とを一致させることなく、紙幣の表裏反転を行うことができる。これにより表裏反転部40は、非反転搬送路長を反転搬送路長よりも短縮することができる。   For this reason, the front-back inversion part 40 can perform front-back inversion of a banknote, without making non-inversion conveyance path length and inversion conveyance path length correspond. Thereby, the front-back inversion part 40 can shorten non-inversion conveyance path length rather than inversion conveyance path length.

また表裏反転部40は、裏向き紙幣BLdを追い越すように表向き紙幣BLuを次々に通過させるため、例えば未流通の紙幣である官封券のように、表向き紙幣が連続して搬入された場合、それらの複数の紙幣を表裏反転部40よりも迅速に通過させることができる。   Moreover, in order to pass the front-facing banknote BLu one after another so that the front-back banknote BLd is overtaken by the front / back reversing unit 40, for example, when the front-facing banknote is continuously carried in, such as a government sealed ticket that is an uncirculated banknote, The plurality of banknotes can be passed more quickly than the front / back reversing unit 40.

以上の構成によれば、現金自動取引装置1は、媒体としての紙幣に関する取引を受け付ける接客部3と、接客部3により受け付けた紙幣を搬送する搬送部14と、紙幣を搬送部14から取り入れ搬送する搬入搬送路42と、搬入搬送路42から分岐し、裏向き紙幣の表裏を反転し搬送する反転搬送路46と、搬入搬送路42から分岐し、表向き紙幣を搬送する非反転搬送路44と、表裏を反転する裏向き紙幣であり先行する先行裏向き紙幣の次に、裏向き紙幣であり先行裏向き紙幣に後行する後行裏向き紙幣が取り入れられた場合、先行裏向き紙幣と後行裏向き紙幣との間隔に基づいて、後行裏向き紙幣を反転搬送路46へ搬送するか否かを判定する紙幣搬送制御部74とを設けるようにした。   According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 receives the transaction relating to the banknote as a medium, the conveyance unit 14 that conveys the banknote received by the customer service unit 3, and takes in the banknote from the conveyance unit 14 and conveys it. A carry-in conveyance path 42, a reversal conveyance path 46 that branches from the carry-in conveyance path 42, and reverses and conveys the front and back of the reverse banknote, and a non-reverse conveyance path 44 that branches from the carry-in conveyance path 42 and conveys the front-side banknote. When a backward banknote that is a backside banknote and follows the preceding backside banknote is introduced next to the preceding backside banknote that is a backside banknote that reverses the front and back, the preceding back banknote and the back A banknote transport control unit 74 is provided for determining whether or not to transport the backward banknote to the reverse transport path 46 based on the interval between the banknote and the banknote facing backward.

これにより現金自動取引装置1は、先行裏向き紙幣と後行裏向き紙幣との間隔が最低紙幣間隔Dblm未満である場合は当該後行裏向き紙幣を反転搬送路46へ搬送せず非反転搬送路44へ搬送することにより、当該後行裏向き紙幣が反転搬送路46において当該先行裏向き紙幣に接触してしまうことを防止できる。   Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 does not convey the said back-facing reverse banknote to the inversion conveyance path 46, when the space | interval of a preceding back-facing banknote and a back-facing backside banknote is less than the minimum banknote space | interval Dblm. By conveying to the path 44, it is possible to prevent the trailing banknote from coming into contact with the preceding banknote in the reverse conveyance path 46.

<2.第2の実施の形態>
[2−1.表裏反転部の構成]
図1に示す第2の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置101は、第1の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置1と比べて、図2に示す紙幣入出金機110における表裏反転部140が、紙幣入出金機10における表裏反転部40と異なっているものの、それ以外は同様に構成されている。
<2. Second Embodiment>
[2-1. Front / back reversing part configuration]
Compared with the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. Although it is different from the front / back reversing part 40 in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10, other than that is comprised similarly.

また第2の実施の形態による表裏反転部140は、図3との対応部分に同一符号を付した図12に示すように、紙幣保持切替部72及び遮断板70が省略されている。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 12 which attached | subjected the same code | symbol to the part corresponding to FIG. 3, the banknote holding | maintenance switching part 72 and the shielding board 70 are abbreviate | omitted in the front-back inversion part 140 by 2nd Embodiment.

また表裏反転部140は、図示しない駆動モータを制御することにより、取込ローラ164の回転及び停止を切り替えるようになされている。   The front / back reversing unit 140 is configured to switch between rotation and stop of the take-in roller 164 by controlling a drive motor (not shown).

以下では、搬送切替部56、取込ローラ164及び搬送ローラ168をまとめて紙幣搬送制御部174とも呼ぶ。   Hereinafter, the conveyance switching unit 56, the take-in roller 164, and the conveyance roller 168 are collectively referred to as a banknote conveyance control unit 174.

紙幣保留状態において、表裏反転部140は、取込ローラ164及び羽根車66の回転を停止させる。このため、取込ローラ164に連れ回される搬送ローラ168の回転も停止する。   In the banknote holding state, the front / back reversing unit 140 stops the rotation of the take-in roller 164 and the impeller 66. For this reason, the rotation of the conveying roller 168 rotated by the take-in roller 164 is also stopped.

これにより取込ローラ164及び搬送ローラ168は、反転後搬送路62内において裏向き紙幣を停止させる。   As a result, the take-in roller 164 and the transport roller 168 stop the reverse banknote in the post-reversal transport path 62.

このとき取込ローラ164及び搬送ローラ168は、反転プール部58において方向転換された裏向き紙幣の進行方向先端部分を噛み込んだ状態において回転を停止する。   At this time, the take-in roller 164 and the transport roller 168 stop rotating in a state where the leading end portion in the advancing direction of the reversed banknote whose direction has been changed in the reversal pool portion 58 is bitten.

一方、紙幣保留状態から紙幣通過状態に変化した場合に、保持した裏向き紙幣を解放して反転後搬送路62から搬送合流部分52に向かって送り出す際、表裏反転部140は、停止させていた取込ローラ164を回転させることにより、取込ローラ164と搬送ローラ168とにより噛み込んでいた裏向き紙幣を搬送する。   On the other hand, when changing from the banknote holding state to the banknote passing state, when the held reverse banknote is released and sent out from the post-reversal conveyance path 62 toward the conveyance junction 52, the front / back reversing unit 140 has been stopped. By rotating the take-in roller 164, the reverse banknotes that have been bitten by the take-in roller 164 and the transport roller 168 are transported.

このように表裏反転部140は、紙幣保留状態においては、取込ローラ164の回転を停止することにより、取込ローラ164と搬送ローラ168とで裏向き紙幣の一部を挟持したまま当該裏向き紙幣BLdを保留する一方、紙幣通過状態においては、取込ローラ164を回転させることにより、取込ローラ164と搬送ローラ168とで裏向き紙幣を挟持し搬送合流部分52に向かって搬送する。   Thus, in the banknote holding state, the front / back reversing unit 140 stops the rotation of the take-in roller 164, thereby holding the reverse-side banknote partly between the take-in roller 164 and the transport roller 168. While the banknote BLd is held, in the banknote passing state, the take-in roller 164 is rotated so that the take-up roller 164 and the transport roller 168 sandwich the face-down banknote and transport it toward the transport junction 52.

[2−2.表裏反転部の制御]
[2−2−1.表向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
かかる構成において、図13に示すように表向き紙幣BLuを取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部140は搬送切替部56を非反転搬送路振分位置P1に切り替え、表向き紙幣BLuを非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。
[2-2. Control of front / back reversing part]
[2-2-1. When taking up face-up banknotes]
In such a configuration, as illustrated in FIG. 13, when the front-side banknote BLu is captured, the front / back reversing unit 140 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the non-reverse transport path distribution position P <b> 1 and passes the front-side banknote BLu through the non-reverse transport path 44. Then, it is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction portion 52.

[2−2−2.裏向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
一方図14に示すように裏向き紙幣BLdを取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部140は搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、裏向き紙幣BLdを反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。続いて表裏反転部140は、取込ローラ164を回転させることにより、表裏方向が反転された裏向き紙幣BLdを、反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。
[2-2-2. When taking back-facing banknotes]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, when the back-facing banknote BLd is captured, the front / back reversing section 140 switches the transport switching section 56 to the reversing transport path distribution position P2 and reverses the back-facing banknote BLd via the transport path 60 before reversing. Enter the pool 58. Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 140 rotates the take-in roller 164 to pass the reverse banknote BLd whose front / back direction is reversed through the post-reversal transport path 62 and to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction 52. Transport.

[2−2−3.裏向き紙幣の次に表向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
また一方図15に示すように裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に表向き紙幣BLu1を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部140は、まず搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、先行する裏向き紙幣BLd1を反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。
[2-2-3. When a face-up banknote is taken after a face-down banknote]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, when the front-side banknote BLu1 is taken after the back-side banknote BLd1, the front / back reversing unit 140 first switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path distribution position P2, and the preceding back-side banknote BLd1. Is made to enter the reversal pool section 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

続いて表裏反転部140は、取込ローラ164を停止させることにより紙幣保留状態とし、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd1を、反転後搬送路62内に停止させて保持する。   Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 140 stops the take-in roller 164 so as to hold the banknote, and the reversed banknote BLd1 whose direction has been changed is stopped and held in the post-reversal conveyance path 62.

具体的に表裏反転部140は、紙幣検出部54において裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が検出された時点から所定時間経過後であって、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が取込ローラ164と搬送ローラ168との接触点76に到達した時点において取込ローラ164の回転を停止する。   Specifically, the front / back reversing unit 140 is after a predetermined time has elapsed since the leading edge of the reverse banknote BLd1 is detected by the banknote detection unit 54, and the leading edge of the reverse banknote BLd1 is the take-in roller 164 and the transport roller 168. The rotation of the take-in roller 164 is stopped when the contact point 76 is reached.

これにより取込ローラ164と搬送ローラ168とは、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd1の先頭部分を噛み込んだ状態としたまま回転を停止し、裏向き紙幣BLd1の移動を停止させる。   As a result, the take-in roller 164 and the transport roller 168 stop rotating while keeping the leading portion of the reversed banknote BLd1 whose direction has been changed, and stop the movement of the reverse banknote BLd1.

その後表裏反転部140は、搬送切替部56を非反転搬送路振分位置P1に切り替え、後続の表向き紙幣BLu1に非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, the front / back reversing unit 140 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the non-reversing transport path distribution position P1, passes the non-reversing transport path 44 to the succeeding front-facing banknote BLu1, and goes to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction portion 52. Transport.

その後図16に示すように正常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部140は、搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、反転前搬送路60を介して裏向き紙幣BLd2を反転プール部58へ進入させる。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16, when the normally-facing back-facing banknote BLd <b> 2 is taken in, the front / back reversing unit 140 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path distribution position P <b> 2, and the reverse through the pre-reverse transport path 60. The facing banknote BLd2 is caused to enter the reversal pool unit 58.

これと同時に表裏反転部140は、取込ローラ164を回転させることにより紙幣通過状態とし、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd1に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   At the same time, the front / back reversing unit 140 rotates the take-in roller 164 to pass the bills, passes the reversed paper bill BLd1 whose direction is changed, passes the transport path 62 after reversal, and is transported and transported via the transport junction 52. Transport to path 48.

その後裏向き紙幣BLd2の後続にさらに正常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd3(図示せず)が存在する場合、表裏反転部140は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd2に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, when there is a normally-facing reverse-side banknote BLd3 (not shown) subsequent to the reverse-side banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing unit 140 passes the reverse-side banknote BLd2 through the post-inversion conveyance path 62. Then, it is conveyed to the carry-out conveyance path 48 via the conveyance junction portion 52.

これと共に表裏反転部140は、搬送切替部56の反転搬送路振分位置P2を維持することにより、反転前搬送路60を介して後続の裏向き紙幣BLd3を反転プール部58へ進入させる。   At the same time, the front / back reversing unit 140 maintains the reverse conveyance path distribution position P <b> 2 of the conveyance switching unit 56, thereby causing the subsequent reverse banknote BLd <b> 3 to enter the reverse pool unit 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

一方、裏向き紙幣BLd2の後続に紙幣が存在しない場合、表裏反転部140は、搬送すべき表向き紙幣BLuを全て搬送した後に、取込ローラ164を回転させることにより紙幣保留状態から紙幣通過状態に切り替え、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd2を、最終紙幣として反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   On the other hand, when no banknote is present behind the reverse-facing banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing section 140 changes the banknote holding state from the banknote holding state by rotating the take-in roller 164 after transporting all the front-facing banknotes BLu to be transported. The face-down banknote BLd <b> 2 that has been switched and redirected passes through the post-reversal transport path 62 as the final banknote and is transported to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction 52.

[2−2−4.裏向き紙幣の次に最低紙幣間隔以上の間隔を空けて裏向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
一方表裏反転部140は、先行の裏向き紙幣BLd1の次に、所定の最低紙幣間隔Dblm1以上の間隔を空けて後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、紙幣検出部54において当該裏向き紙幣BLd2の進行方向先端が検出された時点t11から所定時間経過後に取込ローラ164を回転させることにより紙幣通過状態とし、裏向き紙幣BLd1に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。
[2-2-4. When a back-facing banknote is captured with a gap of at least the minimum banknote spacing next to the back-facing banknote]
On the other hand, when the front / back reversing unit 140 fetches the succeeding back-facing banknote BLd2 with a predetermined minimum banknote spacing Dblm1 or more after the preceding back-facing banknote BLd1, the banknote detection section 54 performs the back-facing banknote. A bill passage state is established by rotating the take-in roller 164 after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time t11 when the leading edge of BLd2 is detected, and the reverse-facing bill BLd1 is made to pass the post-reversal conveyance path 62, via the conveyance junction 52. To the carry-out conveyance path 48.

続いて表裏反転部140は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の進行方向後端が接触点76を通過した後に、裏向き紙幣BLd2の進行方向先端が接触点76に到達した時点t12において取込ローラ164の回転を停止させ紙幣保留状態とし、反転後搬送路62を遮断する。   Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 140 rotates the take-in roller 164 at the time t12 when the front end of the reverse bill BLd2 reaches the contact point 76 after the rear end of the reverse bill BLd1 passes the contact point 76. Is turned into a bill holding state, and the post-reversal conveyance path 62 is shut off.

その後裏向き紙幣BLd2の後続にさらに正常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd3が存在する場合、表裏反転部140は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd2に反転後搬送路62を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, when there is a normally-facing back-facing banknote BLd3 subsequent to the back-facing banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing unit 140 passes the post-reversing transport path 62 through the reversed banknote BLd2 whose direction has been changed, and the transport confluence 52 To the carry-out conveyance path 48.

紙幣制御部112は、このような最低紙幣間隔Dblm1を予め算出する。具体的には紙幣制御部112は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の進行方向先端が紙幣検出部54において検出された時点t11から、裏向き紙幣BLd1に接触点76を通過させ取込ローラ164の回転を停止させる時点t12までに要する時間を所要時間tc1とする。   The banknote control unit 112 calculates such a minimum banknote interval Dblm1 in advance. Specifically, the banknote control unit 112 stops the rotation of the take-in roller 164 by passing the contact point 76 through the reverse-facing banknote BLd1 from the time t11 when the leading edge of the reverse-facing banknote BLd1 is detected by the banknote detection section 54. The time required until the time t12 is set as the required time tc1.

紙幣制御部112は、所要時間tc1と、表裏反転部140内部において紙幣を搬送する紙幣搬送速度v1とから、最低紙幣間隔Dblm1を予め算出する。具体的には紙幣制御部112は、所要時間tc1と紙幣搬送速度v1とを乗算することにより、最低紙幣間隔Dblm1を算出する。   The banknote control unit 112 calculates in advance the minimum banknote interval Dblm1 from the required time tc1 and the banknote transport speed v1 for transporting banknotes inside the front / back reversing unit 140. Specifically, the bill control unit 112 calculates the minimum bill interval Dblm1 by multiplying the required time tc1 by the bill transport speed v1.

紙幣制御部112は、裏向き紙幣同士の間隔が最低紙幣間隔Dblm1以上である場合、当該裏向き紙幣同士が反転搬送路46内部において接触する可能性が低いと判断する。   The banknote control part 112 determines that the possibility that the backside banknotes are in contact with each other inside the reverse conveyance path 46 is low when the interval between the backside banknotes is the minimum banknote distance Dblm1 or more.

[2−2−5.裏向き紙幣の次に最低紙幣間隔未満の間隔を空けて裏向き紙幣を取り込んだ場合]
一方表裏反転部140は、先行の裏向き紙幣BLd1の次に、最低紙幣間隔Dblm1未満の間隔を空けた異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込む場合がある。
[2-2-5. When a back-facing banknote is captured with a gap less than the minimum banknote spacing next to a back-facing banknote]
On the other hand, the front / back reversing unit 140 may take in the reversely-facing banknote BLd2 in an abnormally close state with an interval less than the minimum banknote interval Dblm1 next to the preceding reverse-side banknote BLd1.

先行の裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に異常接近状態である後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部140は、まず搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、先行する裏向き紙幣BLd1を反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。   When the succeeding reverse banknote BLd2 in an abnormally approaching state is taken in after the preceding reverse banknote BLd1, the front / back reversing unit 140 first switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path distribution position P2, and the front back The facing banknote BLd1 is caused to enter the reversal pool unit 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

続いて表裏反転部140は、紙幣搬送制御部174を紙幣保留状態とし、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd1を、反転後搬送路62内に停止させて保持する。   Subsequently, the front / back reversing unit 140 places the banknote conveyance control unit 174 in the banknote holding state, and stops the reversed banknote BLd1 whose direction is changed in the post-reversal conveyance path 62 and holds it.

具体的に紙幣搬送制御部174は、紙幣検出部54において裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が検出された時点から所定時間経過後であって、当該裏向き紙幣BLd1の先端が接触点76に到達した時点において取込ローラ164の回転を停止させ紙幣保留状態とし、反転後搬送路62を遮断する。   Specifically, the banknote transport control unit 174 is after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the leading edge of the backward-facing banknote BLd1 is detected by the banknote detecting section 54 and when the leading edge of the facing-back banknote BLd1 reaches the contact point 76. , The rotation of the take-in roller 164 is stopped to enter the banknote holding state, and the conveyance path 62 after reversal is blocked.

その後表裏反転部140は、搬送切替部56を非反転搬送路振分位置P1に切り替え、後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2に非反転搬送路44を通過させ、搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   Thereafter, the front / back reversing unit 140 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the non-reverse transport path distribution position P1, passes the non-reverse transport path 44 to the succeeding reverse-facing banknote BLd2, and carries out the transport path via the transport junction 52. Transport to 48.

このように表裏反転部140は、裏向き紙幣BLd1の後に異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd2を取り込んだ場合、紙幣保留状態として裏向き紙幣BLd1を保留し、裏向き紙幣BLd2に非反転搬送路44を通過させる。   As described above, when the reverse banknote BLd2 in the abnormally close state is taken in after the reverse banknote BLd1, the front / back reversing unit 140 holds the reverse banknote BLd1 as the banknote holding state, and the non-reverse conveyance path 44 to the reverse banknote BLd2. Pass through.

後行の裏向き紙幣BLd2に続いて、さらに異常接近状態の裏向き紙幣BLd3を取り込んだ場合、表裏反転部140は、搬送切替部56を反転搬送路振分位置P2に切り替え、裏向き紙幣BLd3を反転前搬送路60を介して反転プール部58へ進入させる。   When the back banknote BLd3 in an abnormally close state is taken in after the back banknote BLd2, the front / back reversing unit 140 switches the transport switching unit 56 to the reverse transport path sorting position P2, and the back banknote BLd3. Is made to enter the reversal pool section 58 via the pre-reversal conveyance path 60.

これと同時に表裏反転部140は、紙幣搬送制御部174を紙幣通過状態へ切り替え、裏向き紙幣BLd1に反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   At the same time, the front / back reversing unit 140 switches the banknote transport control unit 174 to the banknote passing state, passes the reverse-side banknote BLd1 through the post-reversal transport path 62, and transports it to the carry-out transport path 48 via the transport junction portion 52.

裏向き紙幣BLd3の後続に紙幣が存在しない場合、表裏反転部140は、方向転換された裏向き紙幣BLd3を、反転後搬送路62を通過させ搬送合流部分52を介して搬出搬送路48へ搬送する。   When there is no banknote following the reverse-facing banknote BLd3, the front / back reversing unit 140 transports the reversed banknote BLd3 whose direction has been changed to the unloading and transporting path 48 through the post-reversal transporting path 62 and the transporting junction 52. To do.

その他表裏反転部140は、上述した第1の実施の形態による表裏反転部40と同様の処理を行い、表裏反転部140に搬入される紙幣の順序を並べ替え搬出する。   In addition, the front / back reversing unit 140 performs the same processing as the front / back reversing unit 40 according to the first embodiment described above, and rearranges and carries out the order of banknotes carried into the front / back reversing unit 140.

[2−3.紙幣搬送先決定処理手順]
紙幣入出金機110において出金取引の際収納カセット35から繰り出した紙幣の搬送先を決定する紙幣搬送先決定処理の具体的な処理手順について、図17のフローチャートを用いて説明する。紙幣制御部112は、操作表示部6に対する操作により顧客から出金取引の指示を受け付けると、所定の記憶部から紙幣搬送先決定処理プログラムを読み出して実行することにより紙幣搬送先決定処理手順RT2を開始し、ステップSP1へ移る。紙幣搬送先決定処理手順RT2は、紙幣搬送先決定処理手順RT1(図8)と比べて、ステップSP20がSP10と異なっているため、ステップSP20についてのみ説明する。
[2-3. Banknote destination determination processing procedure]
The specific processing procedure of the banknote conveyance destination determination process which determines the conveyance destination of the banknote drawn | fed out from the storage cassette 35 in the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 110 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG. The banknote control part 112 will read banknote conveyance destination determination process program RT2 from the predetermined | prescribed memory | storage part, if the instruction | indication of payment transaction is received from the customer by operation with respect to the operation display part 6, and will execute banknote conveyance destination determination process procedure RT2 Start and move to step SP1. Since the banknote transport destination determination processing procedure RT2 differs from the SP10 in step SP20 as compared to the banknote transport destination determination processing procedure RT1 (FIG. 8), only step SP20 will be described.

ステップSP9において否定結果が得られると、このことは、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行の裏向き紙幣とは異常接近状態であるため、後行の裏向き紙幣と先行する裏向き紙幣とは反転搬送路46内において接触するおそれがあることを表し、このとき紙幣制御部112はステップSP20へ移り、当該紙幣(後行する裏向き紙幣)の搬送先を、反転搬送路46ではなくリジェクト庫17に決定し当該紙幣を非反転搬送路44を介してリジェクト庫17へ搬送することにより、当該裏向き紙幣に表裏反転を実施することなく、リジェクト庫17に収納する。   If a negative result is obtained in step SP9, this means that the succeeding backside banknote and the preceding backside banknote are in an abnormally close state, so that the succeeding backside banknote and the preceding backside banknote are reversed. It represents that there is a possibility of contact in the transport path 46, and at this time, the banknote control unit 112 moves to step SP20, and the transport destination of the banknote (backward facing banknote) is not the reverse transport path 46 but the reject box 17. And the banknote is transported to the reject box 17 via the non-reverse transport path 44, so that the banknote is stored in the reject box 17 without being reversed.

[2−4.動作及び効果]
以上の構成において紙幣搬送制御部174は、紙幣保留状態において取込ローラ164を停止させることにより、反転搬送路46を搬送される裏向き紙幣BLdを保留する一方、紙幣通過状態において取込ローラ164を回転させることにより、裏向き紙幣BLdに反転搬送路46を通過させるようにした。
[2-4. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, the banknote transport control unit 174 holds the back-facing banknote BLd transported through the reverse transport path 46 by stopping the take-in roller 164 in the banknote hold state, while the take-in roller 164 in the banknote pass state. , The reverse conveyance path 46 is allowed to pass through the reverse-facing banknote BLd.

これにより表裏反転部140は、表裏反転部40(図3)に対し紙幣保持切替部72及び遮断板70を省略することができるため、構成を簡易にしコストを低減することができる。   Thereby, since the banknote holding | maintenance switching part 72 and the shielding board 70 can be abbreviate | omitted with respect to the front-back inversion part 40 (FIG. 3), the front-back inversion part 140 can simplify a structure and can reduce cost.

また表裏反転部140は、紙幣保留状態において、裏向き紙幣BLdの一部を噛み込んだ状態で取込ローラ164を停止するようにした。   Further, the front / back reversing unit 140 stops the take-in roller 164 in a state in which a part of the reverse-facing banknote BLd is bitten in the banknote holding state.

これにより表裏反転部140は、紙幣保留状態から紙幣通過状態に切り替える際、裏向き紙幣BLdを迅速に送り出すことができるため、紙幣を搬出するタイミングを厳密に制御することができる。   Thereby, when switching the banknote holding state from the banknote holding state to the banknote passing state, the front and back reversing unit 140 can quickly send out the reverse banknote BLd, and therefore can strictly control the timing of carrying out the banknote.

ところで第1の実施の形態による紙幣入出金機10は、異常接近状態の後行裏向き紙幣を表裏反転せずに入出金部13に搬送するため、裏向き紙幣を顧客に出金してしまう。   By the way, since the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 according to the first embodiment conveys the back-facing reverse banknote in the abnormally approaching state to the depositing / dispensing unit 13 without turning the front and back, the back-facing banknote is withdrawn to the customer. .

これに対し本実施の形態による紙幣入出金機110は、異常接近状態の後行裏向き紙幣を表裏反転せずにリジェクト庫17へ収納するようにした。これにより紙幣入出金機110は、紙幣の表裏方向が表向き紙幣とは異なる裏向き紙幣を顧客に出金してしまうことを防止できる。   On the other hand, the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110 according to the present embodiment stores the banknote facing backward in the abnormally close state in the reject box 17 without turning the front and back. Thereby, the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 110 can prevent the banknotes from being turned out to the customer with the reverse banknotes different from the front banknotes.

その他第2の実施の形態による表裏反転部140は、第1の実施の形態による表裏反転部40とほぼ同様の作用効果を奏し得る。   In addition, the front / back reversing unit 140 according to the second embodiment can exhibit substantially the same functions and effects as the front / back reversing unit 40 according to the first embodiment.

<3.他の実施の形態>
なお上述した実施の形態においては、第1の実施の形態による紙幣入出金機10において、異常接近状態の後行裏向き紙幣を入出金部13に搬送し、第2の実施の形態による紙幣入出金機110において、異常接近状態の後行裏向き紙幣をリジェクト庫17に搬送する場合について述べた。
<3. Other embodiments>
In the embodiment described above, in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 according to the first embodiment, the banknote depositing / dispensing according to the second embodiment is carried to the depositing / dispensing unit 13 in the abnormally close state. In the gold machine 110, the case where the banknotes in the abnormally close state are conveyed to the reject box 17 has been described.

本発明はこれに限らず、異常接近状態の後行裏向き紙幣を、それぞれ紙幣入出金機10においてリジェクト庫17に、紙幣入出金機110において入出金部13に搬送しても良い。   The present invention is not limited to this, and the back-facing banknotes in an abnormally close state may be conveyed to the reject box 17 in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 and to the depositing / dispensing unit 13 in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 110, respectively.

また上述した第1の実施の形態においては、紙幣保留状態において取込ローラ64を回転させ続けたが、本発明はこれに限らず、紙幣保留状態において取込ローラ64の回転を停止しても良い。   Moreover, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, although the taking-in roller 64 continued rotating in the banknote pending | holding state, this invention is not restricted to this, Even if rotation of the taking-in roller 64 is stopped in a banknote pending | holding state good.

また非反転搬送路44と反転搬送路46とは、上述した実施の形態において図示したものに限らず、要は表向き紙幣所要時間NTuの方が裏向き紙幣所要時間NTdよりも短い構成であれば、種々の搬送路の構成を適用して良い。   In addition, the non-reverse transport path 44 and the reverse transport path 46 are not limited to those illustrated in the above-described embodiment, and the point is that the front bill required time NTu is shorter than the reverse bill required time NTd. Various transport path configurations may be applied.

さらに上述した第1の実施の形態による表裏反転部40に対し、第2の実施の形態による表裏反転部140における取込ローラ164の回転制御を組み合わせることにより、紙幣保留状態と紙幣通過状態とを切り替えるようにしても良い。   Furthermore, the banknote holding state and the banknote passing state are obtained by combining the front and back reversing unit 40 according to the first embodiment described above with the rotation control of the take-in roller 164 in the front and back reversing unit 140 according to the second embodiment. You may make it switch.

例えば、表裏反転部40における紙幣保留状態において、遮断板70を反転後搬送路62内に露出させると共に、搬送ローラ68をローラ駆動断絶方向D3に移動させずに、取込ローラ164の回転を停止させても良い。   For example, in the banknote holding state in the front / back reversing unit 40, the blocking plate 70 is exposed in the conveyance path 62 after reversing, and the rotation of the take-in roller 164 is stopped without moving the conveyance roller 68 in the roller driving disconnection direction D3.

この場合、予め裏向き紙幣BLdの進行方向を転換させた状態で停止させておく方が、表向き紙幣BLuの後続として搬出する際、タイミング調整が行い易い。   In this case, it is easier to adjust the timing when the paper is stopped in a state in which the traveling direction of the reverse-side banknote BLd is changed in advance when the banknote is carried out as the succeeding banknote BLu.

さらに上述した第2の実施の形態においては、取込ローラ164と搬送ローラ168とで裏向き紙幣BLdの一部を挟持したまま当該裏向き紙幣BLdを保留する場合について述べたが、裏向き紙幣BLdを挟持しない状態で保留しても良い。   Furthermore, in 2nd Embodiment mentioned above, although the case where the said back-facing banknote BLd was hold | maintained holding the part of back-facing banknote BLd with the taking-in roller 164 and the conveyance roller 168 was described, back-facing banknote You may hold | maintain in the state which does not clamp BLd.

さらに上述した実施の形態においては、表向き紙幣は非反転搬送路44をそのまま通過させ、裏向き紙幣は反転搬送路46を通過させることにより表裏反転する場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、裏向き紙幣は非反転搬送路44をそのまま通過させ、表向き紙幣は反転搬送路46を通過させることにより表裏反転するようにしても良い。   Furthermore, in embodiment mentioned above, the case where a front-facing banknote passed the non-reversing conveyance path 44 as it was, and the back-facing banknote reversed the front and back by passing the reversing conveyance path 46 was described. The present invention is not limited to this, and the reverse banknote may pass through the non-reverse conveyance path 44 as it is, and the front banknote may pass through the reverse conveyance path 46 to be reversed.

さらに上述した実施の形態においては、媒体として紙幣について述べたが、本発明はこれに限らず、例えば商品券や金券、入場券等のような薄い紙状の媒体であれば良い。   Furthermore, in embodiment mentioned above, although the banknote was described as a medium, this invention is not restricted to this, For example, what is necessary is just a thin paper-like medium like a gift certificate, a cash voucher, an admission ticket.

さらに上述した実施の形態においては、搬入搬送路としての搬入搬送路42と、反転搬送路としての反転搬送路46と、非反転搬送路としての非反転搬送路44と、媒体搬送制御部としての紙幣搬送制御部74又は174並びに紙幣制御部12又は112とによって、媒体表裏反転装置としての表裏反転部40又は140を構成する場合について述べた。   Further, in the above-described embodiment, the carry-in conveyance path 42 as the carry-in conveyance path, the reverse conveyance path 46 as the reverse conveyance path, the non-reversal conveyance path 44 as the non-reverse conveyance path, and the medium conveyance control unit The case where the front / back reversing unit 40 or 140 as the medium front / back reversing device is configured by the banknote transport control unit 74 or 174 and the banknote control unit 12 or 112 has been described.
