The backup mechanism 72 starts moving from the upper banknote receiving position or the lower banknote receiving position,
Move to the carrier transfer position. And it is set to the same height as this and backed up by the carrier 75.
2 Removed from above.

The carrier 75 starts moving forward. The bundle shutter 76 arranged in front of the carrier 75
The banknote stack is passed while being pushed by the banknotes above and rotating in the carrier movement direction. Then, the banknotes carried on the carrier 75 are guided to the bundle holding mechanism 91 by the carrier 75.

The bundling mechanism 91 has a feeding section 93 for feeding the bundling tape 92, a feeding path 94 for feeding and guiding the tape 92 fed from the feeding section 93, and a winding mechanism 95 for winding the tape 92 around bills. A cutter 96 for cutting the tape 92 after winding the tape 92 around the banknote is provided so as to bundle the banknote bundle.

The bundling mechanism 91 also constitutes the tape feeding device in the present invention, and is shown enlarged in FIG. That is, the tape supply section 93 is arranged at a position facing the opening / closing lid 26, and the tape 92 is accommodated so that it can be taken in and out freely by opening the opening / closing lid 26. The opening / closing of the opening / closing lid 26 is detected by a lid detection body 31 provided in the opening.

The tape supply portion 93 is provided with a lever 33, one end of which is rotatably pivotally supported, and an intermediate portion of which is pulled and biased by a spring 32, a part of which is always provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tape 92. Elastically abut. That is, the lever 33 serves as a means for detecting the diameter of the tape 92.

Further, the tape supply section 93 includes a lever 33.
Is provided at a position inclined by a predetermined angle, the end detector 34 with which the free end abuts is provided. That is, the end detecting body 34 is for setting the minimum remaining amount of the tape 92 in advance and detecting this, and is electrically connected to the lamp 30 described above via the control circuit (not shown) and the lever. Three
When the free ends of 3 come into contact, the lamp 30 is turned on to notify the operator.

The transport path 94 is opposed to each other with a narrow gap and guides both sides of the tape 92.
5, a guide roller 3 for changing the traveling direction of the tape 92
6, a plurality of feed rollers 37 that roll and contact each other to sandwich and transport the tape 92, and a drive motor 38 as a transport drive source that rotationally drives each roller.

The drive motor 38 can be driven to rotate in the normal and reverse directions, and by driving in the normal direction, each roller is driven so as to convey the tape 92 from the supply section 93 side to the winding mechanism 95 side. By driving in the reverse direction, each roller is driven so that the tape 92 is conveyed from the winding mechanism 95 side to the supply section 93 side.

The drive motor 38 is electrically connected to the lamp 30 and the lid detection body 31 via a control circuit (not shown), and detects an ON signal for turning on the lamp 30 and the opening of the opening / closing lid 26. Reverse driving is performed only when the AND condition with the OFF signal of the lid detection body 31 is satisfied. Further, only when the AND signal of the OFF signal of the lamp 30 (extinguished) and the ON signal of the lid detection body 31 (closing of the lid) is satisfied, the normal rotation drive is performed.

Since the description of the structure required for moving the bundled bills below the bundle mechanism as described above is not necessary here, it is merely illustrated and omitted.
Next, an example of a transaction using the above cash management apparatus will be shown.

First, when making a deposit transaction, the cash to be deposited is set in the slot 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2. Next, a capture start operation is performed from the tellers machine 1a (1b). By doing this, the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 starts counting the banknotes, and after the counting is completed, the counting result is displayed on the tellers machine 1.
a (1b). An operator who is performing a deposit operation inputs deposit data such as a slip amount and an account number by using the operation keys of the tellers machine 1a (1b) during bill counting. If the count result from the bill depositing / dispensing machine 2 matches the slip amount, the operator depresses the completion button to complete the deposit transaction. In addition, the transaction content is the Terra's Machine 1a (1
Recorded by a journal printer installed in b).

Next, in the case of the withdrawal operation, the operator inputs the withdrawal data such as the withdrawal amount and the account number from the tellers machine 1a (1b) and presses the start key. The banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 2 conveys banknotes from the safes 48a to 48d to the dispensing port 11 according to a dispensing request from the tellers machine 1a (1b).
If the withdrawal request is a small bundle, the bundle is withdrawn from the small bundle / small bundle payment machine.

In the small bundle / small bundle payment machine, the tape 92 is fed out from the tape supply section 93, and the leading end of the tape 92 is held by the transport path 94. The drive motor 38 is normally driven,
The tape is transported along the transport path 94. And tape 9
When the leading end of 2 is guided to the winding mechanism 95, it is wound several times around the bundle of banknotes classified and counted in a predetermined number waiting here, and is squeezed and cut by the cutter 96. It

In this way, when the bundle of bills is bundled with the tape 92 and withdrawn, the tape diameter of the tape supply portion 93 is naturally reduced. The lever 33 rotates following the reduction of the tape diameter, and its free end approaches the end detection body 34.

Finally, the free end of the lever 33 comes into contact with the end detection body 34, and an ON signal is transmitted from here. The operation thereafter can be explained from the flow chart of FIG.

That is, when the end detector 34 sends an ON signal to the control circuit, it is detected whether or not there is a bundle of banknotes in the winding mechanism 95 at that time. If there is a bundle of banknotes being bundled, the normal rotation drive signal is continuously instructed to the drive motor 38 to continue the action. Subsequently, the tape is transported and supplied to the winding mechanism 95 via the transport path 94, and thus the bundling process is continued.

When there is no bundle of bills in the winding mechanism 95, a stop signal is transmitted to the drive motor 38 to stop the feeding of the tape 92. Then, the tape 92 by the cutter 96
It is detected that the bundle processing including the cutting has been completed and the money is withdrawn from here.

Therefore, the processes other than the bundling are stopped and the lamp 3
Turn 0 on. The operator who sees this notices that the amount of the bundle-holding tape in the machine body is low, prepares a new tape, and opens the opening / closing lid 26.

As a result, the lid detection body 31 transmits an OFF signal. Since the lamp 30 has already been turned on and is an ON signal, mutual AND conditions can be obtained. The control circuit sends a reverse rotation signal to the drive motor 38 to feed the tape 92 in the transport path 94 back toward the supply section 93.

That is, for the operator, the opening / closing lid 26
The tape 92 in the transport path 94 is automatically reverse-fed and all is ejected from the transport path 94 by simply opening.

After visually confirming that the end portion of the tape 92 has been ejected from the transport path 94, the tape is taken out from the tape supply section 93 and a new tape is attached to the supply section. The work thereafter can be explained from the flowchart of FIG.

That is, the new tape 92 is supplied to the supply section 93.
And the leading end of the tape is fed to the base end of the transport path 94. Since the tape 92 having the large diameter is attached, the lever 33 is separated from the end detection body 34, and this changes to the OFF state. Then, the lamp 30 electrically connected to the end detection body 34 is turned off.

The operator confirms these states and closes the opening / closing lid 26 as before. The lid detection body 31 transmits an ON signal, and an AND condition with the OFF signal for turning off the lamp 30 is obtained. The control circuit sends a normal rotation drive signal to the drive motor 38 to convey the tape 92 along the conveyance path 94.

Here again, for the operator, the front end of the new tape 92 is set on the transport path 94, and the opening / closing lid 26 is opened.
Since the tape 92 is automatically conveyed along the conveying path 94 only by closing the above, no trouble is required.

In the above embodiment, the means for instructing the drive motor 38 to perform the normal rotation drive and the reverse rotation drive is controlled on the basis of the AND condition of the lamp 30 and the lid detection body 31. The configuration is not limited, and the configuration shown in FIG. 6 may be adopted. Then, it can be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 7.

That is, the toggle switch 40 is provided near the tape supply section 93. This switch 40
Is a switching control in which the drive motor 38 is driven in the forward direction when the switch lever 40a is tilted to the front side, and the drive motor is driven in the reverse direction when tilted to the opposite side.

In this case, when the remaining amount of the tape 92 becomes small and the end detector 34 is turned on and there is no banknote bundle in the winding mechanism 95, the drive motor 38 is stopped and the lamp 3 is turned on.
0 lights up.

Here, the operator opens the opening / closing lid 26 with a new tape. Then, the switch lever 40a of the toggle switch 40 is tilted to the reverse rotation side. Drive motor 38
Drives in reverse and ejects the end of the tape 92 from the transport path 94.

This tape is taken out and replaced with a new tape 92, the end is set on the conveying path 94, and then the switch lever 40a of the toggle switch 40 is tilted to the forward rotation side. Therefore, the tape 92 is transported along the transport path 94, and the same operation as in the above-described embodiment is performed.

With such a configuration operation, the instruction to drive the drive motor 38 in the forward and reverse directions is simply issued by the toggle switch 40.
Need only be operated, and there is no need to take the AND condition between the lamp and the lid detection body as described above, and the control system is simplified.
