In a circulation type banknote depositing / dispensing machine, etc., in which the temporarily held banknotes are sometimes returned to the operator, and when the money is dispensed, the deposited banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit for dispensing of the type-specific banknote storage units are fed out. According to the bill storage device used,
In particular, the banknotes are stored in a stacked state, and the banknote storage unit that receives and pays out the banknotes in the upper area, the banknote payout unit that is provided in the upper area of the storage section, and moves the banknotes up and down in the storage section. The present invention relates to a bill storage device that is provided so as to have a pedestal on which bills are piled up in an accumulated state.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the above-described circulation type banknote depositing / dispensing machine, for example, the depositing banknotes to be inserted into a transaction port are transferred one by one and identified by an identifying unit, and genuine banknotes are traded in a collective accumulation state of a mixture of plural denominations. It is temporarily held in the batch temporary holding section near the mouth, and when the operator approves the deposit, the banknotes are fed out one by one from this batch temporary holding section and stored in the banknote storage section through the identification section or another identification section, and further operation is performed. When the operator disapproves, it is returned to the operator side in a batch.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The conventional machine described above is intended to promptly return the deposited banknote when the operator does not approve the deposit. However, as this type of machine spreads, the usage situation by the operator has also been grasped, and from the results it was found that the operator did not approve the deposit payment very much and the payment approval operation accounted for the majority. is doing.

However, even if the deposit approval operation is performed, there is a problem that it takes a very long time to store the money from the batch temporary holding unit into the bill storing unit, and the next depositing operation or dispensing operation cannot be performed.

As a method of solving such a problem, each temporary holding space part is separately provided at the top of each banknote storage part for each denomination so as to correspond to them, and the banknotes are temporarily held in each of these temporary storage space parts. Figured out what to do.

However, with the above configuration, the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding space section must be collectively stored with the banknote feeding means in the upper area of the banknote storage section retracted at the time of payment approval, and the payment is not approved. At times, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for collectively returning the temporarily held banknotes from the temporary holding space section to the operator, and it is also necessary to provide these mechanisms for each temporary holding space section. As a result, the height of the machine becomes high, the machine becomes large, and a large space is required.

Therefore, as a method for solving these problems, the idea of temporarily holding banknotes using the banknote storage space of the banknote storage unit was conceived, and a banknote storage device capable of performing this was devised.

If this device is obtained, the problem relating to the temporary holding of the conventional circulation type banknote pay-in / pay-out device can be solved by replacing the conventional banknote storage unit with this device. Therefore,
The banknotes are stored in a stacked state, and the banknote receiving unit for receiving and feeding the banknotes is performed in the upper area, the banknote feeding means for feeding the banknotes provided in the upper area of the storage unit, and the vertically movable inside the storage section. In the banknote storage device having a cradle on which the banknotes are placed in a stacked state, in a retracted position higher than the upper surface of the stacked banknotes on the cradle lowered to a predetermined position of the storage section when the cradle is lowered, Each of them is provided so as to be able to enter into the storage section in a horizontal direction, and a partitioning material that forms a temporary storage space for banknotes is provided in the upper area of the storage section. When temporarily holding banknotes are added to the above stacked banknotes, and when the temporarily holding banknotes are fed, only the partitioning material is raised by the lifting movement mechanism dedicated to the partitioning material with respect to the pedestal in the stopped state, and the bills are fed through the banknote feeding means. The feeding of the pending bill was configured to perform.

Although it was possible to solve the above-mentioned problems with the above-mentioned device, it is unavoidable that it becomes complicated in terms of configuration because a lifting movement mechanism dedicated to the partitioning material is required. Remain.

In particular, the first invention of the present invention intends to solve such a problem, and in particular, the partition member is moved up through the banknotes on the pedestal which are lifted by the cradle up / down mechanism. It is a thing.

By the way, when the pedestal is lowered, the partitioning material on the upper surface of the banknotes on the pedestal also descends to the advancing / retreating position, but this partitioning material may not descend smoothly. The vehicle is stopped at a position where it is descending, and remains in the storage section so that it cannot exit the storage section. As a result, there is a problem that the partitioning material interferes with the bill feeding and the bill cannot be fed.

The second invention solves these problems as well.
