Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus used in a financial institution or the like, and more particularly to a cash processing apparatus provided with a banknote depositing and dispensing machine and a sealed small bundle payment machine.

  A conventional cash processing apparatus operated by a clerk (operator) in a store of a financial institution has a banknote depositing / withdrawing machine having a discrimination section for discriminating inserted banknotes, and a storage for storing the discriminated banknotes, This bill includes a first bundled sealing mechanism (first sealed portion) for performing sealing and a second bundled sealing mechanism (second sealed portion) having a second bundled sealing mechanism (second sealed portion). The depositing / dispensing machine and the sealed small bundle payment machine are connected by a conveyance path, and when a banknote is inserted into the banknote depositing / dispensing machine, the sealing process is performed as follows.

That is, when banknotes are put into the banknote depositing and dispensing machine all at once by the clerk, the inserted banknotes are taken into the transport path 12 one by one by the take-in mechanism, and are transported to the discrimination device by the transport path.
The bills conveyed to the discrimination device are discriminated by authenticity, denomination, front / rear direction, and the like.
At this time, the banknote discriminated as a fake note or the like is guided to the reject banknote carry-out path and eliminated.

The banknotes discriminated from the other genuine bills are sequentially transported to the sealed small bundle payment machine by the transport path.
Thus, the banknote conveyed to the sealing small bundle payment machine is guided to the first stacking mechanism or the second stacking mechanism according to the direction of the banknote.
That is, the banknotes discriminated from the first direction (normal direction) by the discrimination device are guided to the first stacking and sealing mechanism and stacked in the stacking chamber.

On the other hand, the banknotes identified as being in the second direction (reverse direction) by the identification device are guided to the second accumulation sealing mechanism and accumulated in the accumulation chamber.
When both a first stacking mechanism and a second stacking mechanism are stacked in a stacking chamber, for example, 100 banknotes are stacked, the stacked banknotes are fed into the sealing mechanism and sealed. And release it outside the aircraft.

In this way, it is desired to determine whether the device identified by the discrimination device is sent to the first stacking sealing mechanism or the second stacking sealing mechanism according to the identification result according to a preset condition. It was done to make a small bundle that was sealed.
In addition, the said condition used the damage of the banknote other than the direction of a banknote. In other words, even if the denomination is the same, there is a genuine note (a genuine note that can be used for payment) and a non-performing note (a genuine note that cannot be used for payment due to dirt, damage, etc.). By separating the sealing portion according to damage, it was possible to separate what can be used for payment from what cannot be used (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-6478 (page 3-4, FIG. 1)

In the above-described technology, denominations other than denominations that are usually conveyed to a sealed small bundle payment machine and are to be sealed are conveyed to each storage according to a discrimination result.
However, such a conventional device is supposed to handle four denominations such as a thousand yen bill, a two thousand yen bill, a five thousand yen bill, and a ten thousand yen bill, For example, a new denomination of three denominations of thousand yen bills, 5,000 yen bills, and 10,000 yen bills with different designs was issued, etc., so that the previous four denominations of the old banknotes and the three denominations of the new banknotes were mixed. When dealing with old and new banknotes of denominations, the conventional cash processing apparatus has only four storage boxes for seven denominations, and performs sealing processing according to denominations of old and new and old and new. There was a problem that I could not.

For example, when there are four storage boxes as in the conventional example, the conventional configuration can handle only up to five denominations. That is, for example, considering the case of sending a new 10,000 yen banknote to the first or second stacking sealing mechanism, the remaining old 10,000 yen banknote, new 5,000 yen banknote, old 5,000 yen banknote, new Six denominations of thousand yen bills, old thousand yen bills and two thousand yen bills must be stored in the storage. However, since there are four storages, two denominations that cannot be assigned are generated.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems of the prior art.

Therefore, the cash processing apparatus according to the present invention has a banknote deposit / withdrawal having a denomination unit for identifying the denomination of the inserted banknotes, correctness and the like, and a storage for storing the identified banknotes in a mixed manner for each denomination. And a small bundle payment machine provided with the same number of types of banknotes that are stored in a mixed manner in at least one of the storage boxes, and a banknote money A storage unit storing data in which the banknote sealing order corresponding to the type of each type and the banknote sealing unit to be sealed are stored, accepting selection of banknote sealing processing, When a plurality of banknotes are inserted into the money machine, the process proceeds to the depositing process according to the sealing order, and the inserted banknotes are identified one by one at the discrimination unit, and among the identified banknotes, first according to the sealing order The bills to be sealed are transported to the sealing portion of the sealing small bundle payment machine in order. In addition to performing sealing, the banknotes of the type to be stored in the storage are transported and stored in the storage of the banknote depositing and dispensing machine, and after the sealing process in the sealing unit is completed, according to the sealing order Corresponding types of banknotes are fed out from the storage, the banknotes that have been fed out are identified one by one by the discrimination unit, and among the identified banknotes, the type of banknotes to be sealed according to the sealing order is stored in the sealing unit. Convey and seal sequentially, and store other types of banknotes again in the same storage , and when the storage is full in the deposit process, each of the storages that are full A banknote of the type assigned to each of the sealing portions is conveyed and sealed .

  Thereby, even when dealing with a plurality of banknotes in which old and new correct / incorrect banknotes are mixed, the present invention can perform sealing processing according to the denominations of old and new and old and new correct / incorrect with a conventional cash processing apparatus. The effect is obtained.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a cash processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A banknote is conveyed between each component of the sealing part 9, the discharge port 10, and the discharge port 11.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a storage unit, which stores a control program for the control unit 14 to control the operations of the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 1 and the sealed bundle payment machine 2, and a banknote in which a plurality of denominations are mixed. Operation data necessary for performing sealing processing by handling the table is stored as table data.
Moreover, the control part 14 memorize | stores the number of the banknotes accommodated in each sealing part or each storage, and the number of the banknotes drawn | fed out from each storage for every process of payment and sealing arrangement | organization 1-5. To store.

FIG. 2 is an example showing operational data for enclosing seven denomination banknotes of the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a sealing process performed using the operational data of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the operational data stores data indicating in which sealed portion or storage a correct bill or a loss ticket of each denomination is stored in each processing of depositing and organizing sealing 1 to 5. ing.

In the following description, the 7 denominations refer to the four denominations of thousand yen bills, two thousand yen bills, five thousand yen bills and ten thousand yen bills that have been circulated in the past. It shall refer to a combination of three new denominations of yen and 10,000 yen. Furthermore, each denomination has two types of damage.
Here, the operation data shown in FIG. 2 defines the order of banknotes to be sealed. In this example, the order of sealing is divided into six stages of “payment” and “organization sealing 1 to 5”. It is assumed that the denomination of banknotes sealed in the first sealing unit 8 and the second sealing unit 9 every time, the denominations of banknotes stored in the respective storages, and the distinction between damages are set.

In accordance with this processing category, first, “payment” processing is performed, and when that processing is completed, processing for the next processing category “sorting and sealing 1” is entered. 2 ”is sequentially repeated, and when the processing of the last processing classification“ sorting and sealing 5 ”is completed, all the seven denomination banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 3 can be sealed.
Next, the effect | action of the structure mentioned above is demonstrated.

Note that the sealing process of the seven denominations described below is controlled by the control unit 14 using the operation data shown in FIG. 2 based on the control program stored in the storage unit 13, and the flowchart of FIG. Reference will be made to the steps indicated by S.
The operator selects a banknote sealing process by operating a console (not shown) (S1), and the old and new 10,000 yen banknotes, the old and new 5,000 yen banknotes, the old and new thousand yen banknotes, and the seven thousand yen banknotes at the banknote slot 3. When a plurality of banknotes mixed with seeds are inserted (S2), the control unit 14 accepts a sealing process selection, drives the conveyance path 12, and starts processing according to the operation data processing classification shown in FIG. 2 (S3). .

First, the control unit 14 executes a process of “deposit” in the process category.
The banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 3 are separated one by one and sent to the transport path 12, and the banknotes sent to the transport path 12 are transported to the discrimination section 4, where the authenticity, denomination, and correctness of the banknotes are transferred. Etc. are discriminated (S4).
Here, with respect to old banknotes, all banknotes are subject to collection regardless of damage, so processing is performed without distinguishing between damages.

As a result of the discrimination, the counterfeit bills and the like discriminated as unknown are conveyed to the reject port 5 through the conveyance path 12, accumulated, and returned to the operator.
On the other hand, banknotes that have been identified by the discriminating unit 4 and discriminated from genuine bills and genuine bills that can be used for withdrawal, or banknotes that are genuine bills but cannot be used for withdrawal are processed. According to the setting of “payment” in the category, the money is transferred to the first sealing unit 8, the second sealing unit 9, and the temporary holding units 7A to 7D in accordance with the denomination (S5).

  Here, in the processing category “payment”, as shown in FIG. 2, a new ten thousand yen bill is a first sealing portion 8, a new thousand yen bill is a second sealing portion 9, a new ten thousand yen. Banknotes and old 10,000 yen banknotes are temporarily held 7A, new 5,000 yen banknotes are correct and banknotes and old 5,000 yen banknotes are temporarily held 7B, new thousand yen banknotes and old thousand yen banknotes Is set so that the temporary holding unit 7C, the correct bill of 2000 yen banknotes, and the damaged bill are conveyed to the temporary holding unit 7D.

According to this setting, 100 sheets of new 10,000 yen banknotes conveyed to the first sealing unit 8 are stacked 100 by a plurality of stacking units (not shown), and a bundle of 100 stacked banknotes is sequentially sealed. It is discharged out of the sealed bundle payer 2 from the discharge port 10.
Further, 100 new bills of new one thousand yen banknotes conveyed to the second sealing unit 9 are stacked one by one in a plurality of stacking units (not shown), and a bundle of 100 banknotes is sequentially sealed and discharged. 11 is discharged to the outside of the sealed bundle payer 2.

In addition, in the 1st sealing part 8 and the 2nd sealing part 9, among the banknotes thrown into the banknote slot 3, all the genuine bills set so that it may be conveyed by a sealing part are conveyed. After that, when the banknotes accumulated in the accumulation unit are less than 100, for example, the operator manually takes them out.
Further, in the temporary storage units 7A to 7D, when all of the genuine bills set to be transported to the storage boxes 6A to 6D among the bills inserted into the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 are accumulated, these bills are stored. Drop and store in storage 6A-6D.

At this time, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the storages 6A to 6D are full based on outputs of sensors (not shown) provided in the storages 6A to 6D (S6).
If the storages 6A to 6D are not full, it is determined whether or not the processing category “payment” has been completed, and if completed, the processing category “payment” processing is terminated (S7). ). If it is full, the process proceeds to step SA1 described later.

Then, it is determined whether or not there is a process category to be processed next (S8). If there is a process category to be processed next, the process returns to step 3 to start the next process.
Here, the processing of “sealing arrangement 1”, which is the next processing category, is started (S3).
That is, in “Organization Sealing 1”, as shown in FIG. 2, a new ten thousand yen banknote is set in the first sealing section 8 and a new thousand yen banknote is set in the second sealing section 9. Therefore, the banknotes are fed out from the storage 6A containing the new 10,000 yen banknotes and the storage 6C containing the new thousand yen banknotes, and set in “Organization Seal 1”. Execute the process.

First, the operation of the storage 6A will be described. The banknotes stored in the storage 6A are fed out to the transport path 12 and transported to the discrimination unit 4 (S4).
Because the storage 6A stores the new 10,000 yen banknotes and the old 10,000 yen banknotes, the new 10,000 yen banknotes are transferred to the first sealing section 8 according to the result of the discrimination in the discrimination section 4. Then, the old 10,000 yen banknote is again conveyed and accumulated in the temporary storage unit 7A (S5).

Note that the banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit 7 are automatically stored in the storage when a certain number of banknotes are reached. This operation is the same in the following processing.
The banknotes conveyed to the first sealing unit 8 are accumulated 100 by 100 in a plurality of unillustrated stacking units, and when the 100 sheets are sequentially sealed, the small bundle payment machine is sealed from the discharge port 10. 2 is released to the outside.
At this time, the control unit 14 counts the number of banknotes fed out from the storage 6A, and if it matches the number of banknotes stored in the storage 6A in the preceding process (payment), in the current process (sealing arrangement 1). It is determined that the processing of all banknotes in the storage 6A has been completed. Since this process is the same in the following sealing processes, it is omitted in the following description.
Here, when the storage is full at step S6 during the processing of “payment”, all banknotes in the full storage are sealed at steps SA1 to SA4 described later. Therefore, in this sealing process 1 and the sealing processes 2 to 5 described below, the storage 6 is not full, so is the storage in step S6 shown in FIG. 3 full? The determination whether or not is omitted, and the process proceeds to the next step S7.

And if the control part 14 completes the sealing process of the banknote drawn out from the storage 6A, it will be judged whether the process of the "organization sealing 1" was complete | finished (S7).
And since the process of sealing of the storage 6C remains here, the control part 14 returns to step S4, pays out the banknote accommodated in the storage 6C to the conveyance path 12, and conveys it to the discrimination part 4 ( S4).
Since the storage 6C stores the new 1000 yen banknotes and the old 1000 yen banknotes, the new 1000 yen banknotes are conveyed to the second sealing section 9 according to the result of the discrimination in the discrimination section 4. Then, the old thousand yen bill is again conveyed to the temporary storage unit 7C and accumulated (S5).

The banknotes conveyed to the second sealing unit 9 are accumulated 100 by 100 in a plurality of unillustrated stacking units, and when the 100 sheets are sequentially sealed, the small bundle payment machine is sealed from the discharge port 11. 2 is released to the outside.
Then, as described above, step S6 is omitted, and it is determined whether or not the processing of the “sorting and sealing 1” of the processing category is completed (S7). If the processing is completed, it should be executed next. It is determined whether there is a processing category (S8).

If there is a process category to be executed next, the process returns to step S3 to start processing of the next process category.
Here, the processing of “organization sealing 2”, which is the next processing category, is started (S3).
That is, in “Organization Sealing 2”, as shown in FIG. 2, the old ten thousand yen bill is set in the first sealing portion 8 and the old thousand yen bill is set in the second sealing portion 9. The bills are fed out from the storage 6A in which the yen bills are stored and the storage 6C in which the old thousand yen bills are stored, and the process is executed.

First, the banknote is fed out from the storage 6A to the transport path 12 and transported to the discrimination unit 4 (S4).
And according to the discrimination result in the discrimination part 4, a banknote is conveyed to the 1st sealing part 8 (S5).
In addition, since there is no banknote conveyed to a storage here, all the banknotes are conveyed to the 1st sealing part 8. FIG.
The banknotes conveyed to the first sealing unit 8 are accumulated 100 by 100 in a plurality of unillustrated stacking units, and when the 100 sheets are sequentially sealed, the small bundle payment machine is sealed from the discharge port 10. 2 is released to the outside.

In this way, when all the banknotes are drawn out from the storage 6A and become empty, and the sealing process in the first sealing unit 8 is completed, is the processing of the processing classification “Organization Sealing 2” completed? It is determined whether or not (S7).
Here, since the sealing process of the storage 6C remains, the control unit 14 returns to step S4, feeds the banknotes stored in the storage 6C to the transport path 12, and transports them to the discrimination unit 4 ( S4).

And according to the discrimination result in the discrimination part 4, a banknote is conveyed to the 2nd sealing part 9 (S5). In addition, since there is no banknote conveyed here also to a storage, all the banknotes are conveyed to the 2nd sealing part 9. FIG.
The banknotes conveyed to the second sealing unit 9 are accumulated 100 by 100 in a plurality of unillustrated stacking units, and when the 100 sheets are sequentially sealed, the small bundle payment machine is sealed from the discharge port 11. 2 is released to the outside.

In this way, when all banknotes are drawn out from the storage 6C and become empty, and the sealing process in the second sealing unit 9 is completed, it is determined whether or not the process of “Organization Sealing 2” is completed. Judgment is made (S7), and if the process is completed, it is judged whether or not there is a process category to be executed next (S8).
If there is a process category to be executed next, the process returns to step S3 to start the next process category.

Here, the processing of the next processing classification, “Organization Sealing 3”, is started (S3).
That is, in “Organization Sealing 3”, as shown in FIG. 2, a new five thousand yen bill is issued to the first sealing portion 8, and a new five thousand yen bill is issued to the second sealing portion 9. Since it is set, banknotes are fed out from the storage 6B in which the correct and non-new bills of the new 5,000 yen banknote are stored, and the sealing process is performed.
First, the banknotes fed out from the storage 6B to the transport path 12 are transported to the discrimination unit 4 by the transport path 12 (S4), and according to the discrimination result in the discrimination section 4, the new 5,000-yen banknote is the first bill. The new 5,000 yen banknotes are transferred to the sealing section 8 and the old 5,000 yen banknotes are transferred to the temporary storage section 7B (S5).

The banknotes transported to the first sealing unit 8 or the second sealing unit 9 are stacked one by one in a plurality of stacking units (not shown) of each sealing unit, and are sequentially applied from the stack of 100 sheets. When sealed, it is discharged out of the sealed bundle payer 2 from the discharge port 10 or 11.
Then, it is determined whether or not the processing of “Organization Sealing 3” has ended (S7). If the processing has ended, it is determined whether or not there is a processing category to be executed next (S8). ).

Here, the process returns to step S3, and the processing of “organization sealing 4”, which is the next processing category, is started (S3).
That is, in “Organization Seal 4”, as shown in FIG. 2, an old five thousand yen bill is set in the first sealing portion 8 and a two thousand yen bill is set in the second sealing portion 9. Therefore, a banknote is drawn out from the storage 6B in which the old 5,000 yen banknote is stored and the storage 6D in which the correct bill of the 2000 yen banknote is stored, and the sealing process is executed.

First, the banknotes drawn out from the storage 6B to the transport path 12 are transported to the first sealing unit 8 (S5) according to the discrimination result in the discrimination unit 4 (S4). In addition, since there is no banknote conveyed to a storage here, all the banknotes are conveyed to the 1st sealing part 8. FIG.
The banknotes conveyed to the first sealing unit 8 are stacked 100 by 100 in a plurality of stacking units (not shown), and when the 100 sheets are sequentially stacked, the small bundle payment is made from the discharge port 10. It is discharged out of the machine 2.

In this way, when all the banknotes are drawn out from the storage 6B and become empty, and the sealing process in the first sealing unit 8 is completed, it is determined whether or not the process of “Organization Sealing 4” is completed. Is determined (S7).
And since the process of sealing of storage 6D remains here, control part 14 returns to Step S4, pays out the bill stored in storage 6D to conveyance way 12, and conveys to discrimination part 4. (S4).

The bills transported to the discrimination unit 4 are transported to the second sealing unit 9 according to the discrimination result in the discrimination unit 4, and the lost bills of the 2000 yen bills are transported to the temporary storage unit 7D. (S5).
The banknotes conveyed to the second sealing unit 9 are stacked 100 by 100 in a plurality of stacking units (not shown). When the 100 stacked sheets are sequentially sealed, a small bundle payment is made from the discharge port 11. It is discharged out of the machine 2.

Then, it is determined whether or not the processing of “organization sealing 4” has been completed (S7). If the processing has been completed, it is determined whether or not there is a processing category to be executed next (S8). ).
In this case, since there is “organization sealing 5” which is the next processing category, the process returns to step S3 to start this processing (S3).
That is, in the “Organization Seal 5”, as shown in FIG. 2, a 2000 yen banknote banknote is set in the first sealing section 8, and thus a 2000 yen banknote banknote is stored. A banknote is drawn out from the storage 6D and sealing processing is performed.

First, the 2,000-yen banknotes fed out from the storage 6D to the transport path 12 are transported to the discrimination unit 4 by the transport path 12 (S4), and the first sealing unit according to the discrimination result in the discrimination unit 4 8 (S5). In addition, since there is no banknote conveyed to a storage here, all the banknotes are conveyed to the 1st sealing part 8. FIG.
The conveyed banknotes are stacked 100 by 100 in a plurality of stacking units (not shown) of the sealing unit. When 100 sheets are stacked, the banknotes are sequentially sealed and discharged from the discharge port 10 or 11 to the outside of the sealed bundle payer 2. discharge.

Then, when all banknotes are drawn out from the storage 6D and become empty, the sealing process in the first sealing unit 8 is completed and the process of “Organization Sealing 5” is completed (S7). It is determined whether or not there is a process category to be executed (S8). If there is no process category to be executed next, the transaction ends.
In this way, by sequentially processing the processing sections, all banknotes stored in the storages 6A to 6D are sealed according to denomination.

In addition, when any of the storage boxes 6A to 6D becomes full in step S6, the following processing is performed.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing after the storage is full. In the following description, this flowchart will be referred to and will be described according to the steps indicated by SA.
If any of the storages becomes full during the execution of the sealing of the processing category “payment” (S6), the control unit 14 stops driving the conveyance path 12 and interrupts the processing (SA1).

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the storage 6 </ b> C that is set so as to transport the old and new thousand yen banknotes in the processing category “deposit” is full. .
When the storage 6C is full and the driving of the transport path 12 is stopped, the control unit 14 receives a bill from the first sealing unit 8 and the second sealing unit 9 for the operator because the storage is full. A message for prompting the withdrawal is displayed on a display unit of a console (not shown) to instruct the withdrawal of the bill.

As a result, the operator takes out the banknotes before sealing already accumulated in the stacking unit from the first sealing unit 8 and the second sealing unit 9 (SA2), and the storage is filled by the console (not shown). The bank 6C banknote sealing process is instructed.
Here, for example, the operator selects to seal the old thousand yen bill at the first sealing portion 8 and the new thousand yen bill at the second sealing portion 9.

Note that the order of banknotes to be sealed when the storage is full is set in the storage unit 13 in advance, the operator takes out the banknotes from the sealing part in step SA2, and inputs the end of banknote removal at the console (not shown). Thus, the control unit 14 may feed out banknotes from the full storage and perform sealing at each sealing unit.
In response to the instruction from the operator, the control unit 14 that has received an instruction to seal the banknotes stored in the full storage 6C executes a sealing process for the full storage 6C in accordance with the instructions (SA3).
That is, when the control unit 14 drives the transport path 12, the banknotes are fed out from the storage 6 </ b> C and transported to the discrimination unit 4 through the transport path 12, and the old thousand yen banknote is first sealed according to the discrimination in the discrimination unit 4. 8, the damaged bill of the new thousand yen bill is conveyed to the second sealing unit 9.

Then, when 100 sheets of banknotes conveyed to the sealing unit are stacked one by one in a plurality of stacking units (not shown), and sequentially sealed from the stack of 100 sheets, the discharge port 10 or 11 exits the sealed bundle payer 2. discharge.
When all the banknotes in the storage 6C thus filled are sealed and released (SA4), and the banknotes before sealing remain in a stacking section (not shown) of the sealing section. When the operator takes out the banknote, the process returns to step S3 in FIG. 3 to execute the “payment” process in the process category again.
As described above, the cash processing apparatus uses operation data that defines the order of banknotes to be sealed, and when depositing, the banknotes to be sent from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port to the first sealing unit and the second sealing Banknotes to be sent to the department and other banknotes to be sent to each storage, and stored, and when organizing sealing, the banknotes to be sent from each storage to the first sealing part and the second sealing part The banknotes to be sent to the banknotes and the banknotes to be stored again in the respective storages are repeatedly stored and stored again, and the banknotes mixed with the old and new banknotes of the seven denominations are handled by sequentially performing sealing. Even if it is a case, a sealing process can be collectively performed with the conventional cash processing apparatus according to the denomination of old and new and new and old and new.
In addition, if the cash handling device becomes full during the sealing process, the processing can be interrupted and the full storage can be sealed, and then the processing can be resumed. It becomes possible to continue trading after becoming.
