このように構成された本発明の実施例の装置の動作を次
に説明する。The operation of the apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described below.

別部４へと向う。First, when depositing, the paper inserted from the deposit port IN passes through the primary dispensing section 7 and is put into the primary discrimination section 3, where it is inserted by the detection output of a sensor 6 (a plurality of them are installed), for example, a photo sensor. The type of paper that has been removed, the front and back sides, the state of counterfeit bills, etc. are determined, and if there is a counterfeit bill, the separator 8
The counterfeit bills are separated when passing through the bank, and the counterfeit bills are placed in the second
In the figure, the cards go downwards, and if the bills are correct, go upwards, and the front-back alignment section 9 aligns the fronts with the fronts and the backs with the backs. Next, the paper groups arranged in this manner are combined with the paper groups on the front side so that, for example, the paper groups on the back sides are facing the front side 2, and then the paper groups on the back sides are combined with the paper groups on the front side,
After that, it is placed on the belt L by rollers R and goes to the next secondary discrimination section 4.

なお、上記二次繰出し部に訃いて、支払い紙弊が不足し
たとき等必要に応じて外部から紙弊を補充するようにし
ても、勿論よい。Note that it is of course possible to replenish paper waste from the outside as necessary, such as when there is a shortage of payment paper in the secondary feeding section.

る。Now, in the secondary discrimination section 4, the damaged paper of different types (denominations) passing through is determined, and if the damage of the damaged paper is severe, this undamaged note is marked as damaged. The tickets are not stored in the ticket storage 14 and reused at the time of payment, nor are they recycled. Note that when the paper that is determined to be a counterfeit banknote through the primary discrimination section 3 passes through the secondary discrimination section 4, when the primary discrimination section 4 is operating, the paper is 1l-1; Since it is controlled by the control device 4 so that it is not in an operating state, it passes through here and is returned through the return port EX. Then, the paper that is judged to be a valid note by the primary discrimination section 3 and the paper that is judged to be an unfit note by the secondary discrimination section 4 and can be used for private cycles are also classified as such. ．．
11.' is determined 1, and the amount is pooled in the storage section. At this time, they are stacked so that they can be easily taken out later.

円孔であればゲートマグネット５−１を作動させて万円
孔プール用の収容庫１３に落す。At that time, for example, if it is a 1,000 yen bill (bill), the gate magnet 5-3 is activated under the control of the control device 1 to drop it into the storage 11 for the 1,000 yen bill pool, and if it is a 5,000 yen bill, the gate magnet is activated. 5-2 is activated, and when the 5,000 yen passes through there, it is dropped into the storage compartment 12 for the 5,000 yen bill pool, and if it is a 10,000 yen hole, the gate magnet 5-1 is activated to collect the 5,000 yen bill. Drop it into the container 13 for the circular hole pool.

一方、２次鑑別部４で返却する程でもないが傷みのある

１４内に収容することになる。On the other hand, the secondary discrimination section 4 detects unfit notes that are not worth returning but are damaged to some extent and are stored in the unfit note storage by activating the gate magnet 5-5, for example. It is deposited in the storage 14. Also, if the paper sheets overlap or are too close together and cannot be stored separately in the storage, they will be stored in the storage for damaged notes 14.

以上は入金の場合における動作であるが、出金の場合は
次のように動作する。The above operations are for deposits, but for withdrawals, the operations are as follows.

金口（返却口と同じ）ＥＸより排出されることになる。At this time, under the control of the control device 1, paper waste corresponding to the payment amount is stored in each storage storage 11, 12, '13 for each type.
The stacked paper bills are big-amplified one by one by a suction device, rollers, or other appropriate means, and
The money is first moved to the right via the belt L, then sent out counterclockwise, passes through the secondary discrimination section 4, and is discharged from the withdrawal port (same as the return port) EX.

なお各収納部１１〜１３からのローラによる紙弊の取出
し方は種々あるが、例えば本出願人による特願昭５７−
５８８４号に記載の如き装置でもよい。There are various ways to take out paper waste from each storage section 11 to 13 using rollers, but for example, the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-1983 filed by the present applicant
A device such as that described in No. 5884 may also be used.

安定しつる。(6) Effects of the invention As mentioned above, unlike conventional devices of this type, the device according to the present invention is capable of classifying and storing paper waste deposited by customers into the device according to its type. You can recycle items and use them for withdrawals, and if necessary, you can replenish paper waste in the same way as before, so when the specified paper waste you set has been withdrawn, you can of the device
The drawbacks of the conventional device that would cause it to become unusable are eliminated, and the ten or so functions of the device are stabilized because damaged and unfit bills are baled (stacked) in a reject-only cassette.
