The storage motor 54 moves at the same timing as the transport motor 21 of the mechanism section 2 and rotates the two reels in a predetermined direction.
The banknotes are moved in the direction of the arrow by the feed roller 5 that carries the banknotes into the first communication path 8), and the storage reel 52 and delivery reel 53 that rotate forward in conjunction with the storage motor 54 (in the direction that the banknotes are wound together with the tape). The bill is held between the tape 51 and the tape 51, taken into the first communication passage 8, and guided to the tape winding portion of the storage reel 52. Then, the bill is wound onto the storage reel 52 along with the tape 51, and when a sensor disposed in the middle of the first communication path 8 detects that the trailing end of the bill has passed, a stop signal is output from the job-specific control unit 3. The storage machine M is stopped by the signal and the banknotes are held between the winding layers of the tape 51 on the storage reel 52. Note that the transport mechanism section 2 also stops at the same time. Furthermore, the identification control section 3 outputs a predetermined banknote (No. N (denomination signal)) based on the identification result to the arithmetic control section of a vending machine (not shown), for example, at the same time as the stop signal.

When the sending reel group starts rewinding the tape 51, the belt 93 follows the tape 51 and moves in the direction of the arrow [! II! After one rotation, the banknotes carried out from the first communication passage 8 are sandwiched between the tape 51 and the belt 93 and guided to the banknote storage section 6. Note that a spring 94 has one end hooked to the movable pulley 92 so that the belt 93 comes into close contact with the tape 51 wound around the delivery reel 53. Then, the identification control unit 3 confirms that the high-value banknote has been stored by the sensor 34 disposed at the exit of the second communication passage 9, and then rotates the transport motor 21 and the storage motor 54 in the forward direction again to transfer the high-value banknote to the second connection. The low denomination banknotes carried out to the passage 9 are rewound onto the storage reel 52 of the banknote storage part 5. When storage of low denomination banknotes is confirmed by the sensor, the motor is stopped and the banknote processing apparatus 1 enters a standby state.

動作を終了するとともに前記記憶内容を消去する。When this change dispensing command is input, the banknote processing device 1 operates the path switching unit 4 to switch the path based on the stored contents of the temporarily reserved banknotes described above, and sends high-value banknotes to the second communication path 9 and pays them as change. The bills (thousand yen bills) to be dispensed are guided to the conveyance path I, and a predetermined amount of change is dispensed. The amount of change is confirmed by the number of banknotes that have passed through the sensor 31 disposed at the entrance of the conveyance path, and when it is confirmed that a predetermined amount (number of bills) has been paid out, the conveyance motor 21 and the storage motor 54 are stopped and the operation is terminated. Erase memory contents.

の不足を防止することができる。If the inserted banknotes are temporarily held in the banknote storage unit 5 including the first communication passage 8, when a refund command is issued from the arithmetic control unit of the vending machine, the banknotes inserted can be used to return the banknotes. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a shortage of 1,000 yen as change.

ばよい。Note that the present invention is not limited to the calculation control unit that calculates the amount of money inserted into the vending machine and determines whether the product can be sold or not, but is not limited to the vending machine side (including the coin counting control device). Of course, it does not matter if the banknote processing device has a built-in arithmetic control section. In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment is configured with two motors, the conveyance motor and the storage motor, it may be configured with one motor if the operation timing is the same. A shutter may be provided. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the configuration of each mechanical section can be modified in various ways. For example, a spiral storage mechanism may be used as the banknote storage unit, in which banknotes are guided into a plurality of spiral grooves and rotated in a predetermined direction to sequentially store the banknotes in the grooves. In short,
The banknote holding section may be any device that can return the held banknotes one by one.

造のもので確実に行うことが可能となる。According to the present invention as described above, the denomination of the inserted banknote is memorized and the inserted banknote is stored in the banknote storage section, and when a product is sold, the denomination of the inserted banknote is stored in the banknote storage section based on the memory of the denomination. Since the stored banknotes of a predetermined high denomination are stored in the banknote storage unit, the banknote storage unit, which has a return function and has a relatively complicated structure, can be used commonly for temporarily storing banknotes of multiple denominations. In addition to being usable, the inserted low denomination banknotes remain in the banknote holding section after the product is sold, and the banknote holding section can also be used to dispense the low denomination banknotes as change. Therefore, it is possible to reliably process banknotes of multiple denominations with a small and simple structure.
