A message prompting the payment confirmation command is displayed. At this time, when the operator inputs a deposit confirmation command through the operation unit 14, banknotes temporarily held in the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 are associated with the corresponding collective banknote storage 140. Or sent to each denomination banknote storage 142 and stored in these banknote storages. In this way, a series of operations related to the banknote deposit process in the banknote storage unit 100 is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing the payment | withdrawal process of a loose banknote with the banknote storage unit 100 is demonstrated. When the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is in a standby state, the operator issues a command for starting the banknote withdrawal process including information related to the number of denominations and total amount of banknotes to be dispensed. When the operation unit 14 inputs data to the control unit 10 or an instruction to start the above-described rose banknote dispensing process is transmitted from the external device such as a host terminal to the control unit 10 via the communication interface unit 20, the money to be withdrawn One type of banknote is fed out from each denomination banknote storage 142 one by one to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one. A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 are sent to the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 and accumulated in the loose banknote dispensing unit 152. The loose banknote dispensing unit 152 is accessible from the outside of the housing 102 of the banknote storage unit 100, and when the banknote dispensing process is completed in the banknote storage unit 100, the operator can access the bulk banknote dispensing unit 152. The accumulated banknotes are manually removed. The reject banknote sent to the withdrawal reject unit 154 can also be accessed from the outside of the housing 102. In this way, a series of operations related to the withdrawal process of the loose banknotes in the banknote storage unit 100 is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing the banding process of a banknote by the banknote banding unit 200 is demonstrated. Specifically, the operation in the case of forming a banded banknote for each denomination by the banknote banding unit 200 will be described below. Here, forming a banded banknote for each denomination means that a predetermined number of banded banknotes of a certain denomination are formed by the banknote banding unit 200, and then a predetermined number of banded banknotes of another denomination are formed by the banknote banding unit 200. To do.

  When the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is in a standby state, the operator operates a command for starting a bundling process including information related to the number of denominations of a bundling banknote to be formed by the bundling section 212. 14 is input to the control unit 10 or an instruction for starting the bundling process is transmitted to the control unit 10 from an external device such as a host terminal via the communication interface unit 20. The number for each denomination is designated by the number-of-banded bill designation unit 30. In addition, banknotes of a denomination among one or a plurality of denominations on which a banded banknote is to be formed are fed from the denomination banknote storage 142 one by one to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one. A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 are sent to one of the upper and lower organized temporary storage units 160 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the organized temporary storage unit 160. 160. When the number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100), the bundle of banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 is transferred to the temporary arrangement and storage unit by the arm unit 210. The bundle of banknotes is taken out from 160 and conveyed to the banding part 212 of the banknote banding unit 200 by the arm part 210. In addition, while the bundle of banknotes is taken out from one of the temporary arrangement and storage sections 160 by the arm unit 210, the banknotes are sent from the withdrawal transport section 150 to the other arrangement and temporary storage section 160, and the other arrangement and temporary storage section. Banknotes are accumulated at 160.

  When a bundle of banknotes taken out from the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 by the arm unit 210 is conveyed to the banding unit 212 of the banknote banding unit 200 by the arm unit 210, the banding unit 212 in the banding unit 212 from the tape setting unit 214 A bundle of banknotes is bound by a banded paper sent to 212 to form a banded banknote. The banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 are conveyed to the banded banknote dispensing part 218 by the banding banknote conveying part 216 so that the operator can manually remove the banded banknotes sent to the banded banknote dispensing part 218. become. Further, the banded banknote transported to the banded banknote dispensing unit 218 by the banded banknote transporting unit 216 is transported from the banded banknote dispensing unit 218 to the banded banknote storage and dispensing transport unit 220 and passes through the banded banknote discriminating unit 222. After that, the banded banknote storage / withdrawal transport unit 220 may store the money in each banded banknote storage cassette 230. When a predetermined number of banded banknotes are formed by performing the above-described process for a denomination of banknotes, the same process is performed for another denomination of banknotes, so that a predetermined number of denominations are also generated. A banded bill is formed. Then, when the number of banded banknotes for each denomination specified by the banded banknote number specifying unit 30 is formed by the banding unit 212, a series of operations related to the banknote banding process in the banknote banding unit 200 is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing the payment processing of a banded banknote by the banknote banding unit 200 is demonstrated. When the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is in a standby state, the operator operates a command for starting a banded banknote dispensing process including information on the number of denominated banded banknotes to be dispensed. 14 or when an instruction to start the above-mentioned banknote withdrawal process is transmitted from the external device such as a higher-level terminal to the control unit 10 via the communication interface unit 20, The banded banknotes are fed from the banded banknote storage cassettes 230 one by one to the banded banknote storage and withdrawal transport unit 220 by the cassette driving unit 232. Then, the banded banknotes fed from the banded banknote storage cassette 230 to the banded banknote storage and withdrawal transport unit 220 are sent to the banded banknote dispensing unit 218, and the operator sends the banded banknotes sent to the banded banknote dispensing unit 218. The banknote can be removed manually. In this way, a series of operations related to the withdrawal process of the banded banknote in the banknote banding unit 200 is completed.

  Further, in the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, when banknote bundling processing is performed by the banknote bundling unit 200, in addition to sending the banknotes fed out from each denomination banknote storage 142 to the organizing and temporary storage unit 160, collective banknotes By sending banknotes fed out from the storage 140 to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160, two denominated banded banknotes can be formed in parallel. Specifically, in the control unit 10 of the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, a first denomination (for example, a thousand yen bill) is assigned to the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160. Is assigned a second denomination (for example, 10,000 yen bill). And the banknote of the 1st denomination (namely, thousand-yen bill) among the banknotes drawn out from the collective banknote storage 140 in which the banknotes of a plurality of denominations were stored in a mixed state is stored in the upper organizing temporary storage unit 160. The banknotes of the second denomination (that is, 10,000 yen bills) are sent to the lower order temporary holding unit 160, and other types of banknotes are sent to the batch temporary holding unit 130. After temporarily holding, the bills are returned to the collective bill storage 140. Further, in each of the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160, when the number of stacked banknotes reaches a predetermined number, the arm unit 210 removes a bundle of banknotes from the arrangement temporary storage section 160. The banded banknote is formed by winding the banded paper around the bundle of banknotes taken out at the banding section 212. In this way, the formation of two denominated banded banknotes in parallel in the banknote handling machine is called so-called “two denomination winding”. The operation | movement which forms in parallel the banknote banknote of two denominations in such a banknote processing machine by this Embodiment is demonstrated in detail using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the control unit 10 of the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, the first denomination (for example, a thousand yen bill) is assigned in advance to the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage is performed. A second denomination (for example, 10,000 yen bill) is assigned to the section 160. And when the banknote processing machine by this Embodiment is in a standby state, the 2 type denomination banding process start containing the information which concerns the number for every denomination of the banding banknote which should be formed by the banding part 212 is started. The operator inputs the above command to the control unit 10 through the operation unit 14, or the above-mentioned two denomination winding banding process start command is transmitted from the external device such as the host terminal to the control unit 10 through the communication interface unit 20. In other words, the number of band-bound banknotes to be formed by the band-bound portion 212 is specified by the number-of-band-bank specifying portion 30. Further, when a command for starting the denomination banding process is given to the control unit 10, banknotes are fed one by one from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144 (STEP 1). And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one (STEP 2). A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Of the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, banknotes of the first denomination (that is, thousand yen bills) are determined by the withdrawal transport unit 150 (“YES” in STEP 3). It is sent to the upper organization temporary storage unit 160 and accumulated in the upper organization temporary storage unit 160 (STEP 4). Of the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, banknotes of the second denomination (ie, 10,000 yen bills) (“NO” in STEP 3 and “YES” in STEP 5) The money is sent to the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160 by the dispensing transport section 150 and accumulated in the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160 (STEP 6). Further, among banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, banknotes of denominations other than the first denomination and the second denomination (that is, two thousand yen bills and five thousand yen bills) (NO in STEP 3 and “NO” in STEP 5) is sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 and the deposit transport unit 114, and then temporarily stored in the collective temporary storage unit 130. The bill is returned to the bill storage 140 (STEP 7).

  When the number of banknotes accumulated in the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 or the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100) (“YES” in STEP 8), the arm The bundle of banknotes is taken out from the temporary arrangement and storage section 160 by the section 210, and the bundle of banknotes is conveyed to the band sealing section 212 by the arm section 210 (STEP 9). And in the banding part 212, a band of banknotes is formed by bundling a bundle of banknotes with the banding paper sent from the tape setting part 214 to the banding part 212 (STEP 10). The banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 are conveyed to the banded banknote dispensing part 218 by the banding banknote conveying part 216 so that the operator can manually remove the banded banknotes sent to the banded banknote dispensing part 218. become. Further, the banded banknote transported to the banded banknote dispensing unit 218 by the banded banknote transporting unit 216 is transported from the banded banknote dispensing unit 218 to the banded banknote storage and dispensing transport unit 220 and passes through the banded banknote discriminating unit 222. After that, the banded banknote storage / withdrawal transport unit 220 may store the money in each banded banknote storage cassette 230.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a predetermined condition (specifically, a condition that eliminates the need for forming a denominated banded banknote with a banknote processing machine) is satisfied in the control unit 10. (“YES” in STEP 11), the denomination assigned to each organizing temporary storage unit 160 is changed (STEP 12). Specifically, in the control unit 10, it is predetermined when the number of banded banknotes of a certain denomination formed by the banding unit 212 reaches the number of banded banknotes of the denomination specified by the banded banknote number specifying unit 30. In this case, among the denominations assigned to each organizing temporary holding unit 160, the denomination is changed to another denomination. . More specifically, in the control unit 10, a first denomination (for example, a thousand yen bill) is pre-assigned to the upper arrangement temporary holding unit 160 and the second denomination is provided to the lower arrangement temporary holding unit 160. In the case where (for example, 10,000 yen bills) is allocated, the number of first denominated banded banknotes (that is, banded banknotes of thousand yen bills) formed by the banding unit 212 is the number of banded banknotes specifying unit 30. When the number of banded banknotes of the first denomination designated by is reached, the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 is changed to another denomination. Here, the first denomination assigned to the upper organization temporary storage unit 160 may be changed to the second denomination (ie, 10,000 yen bill), or the upper organization temporary storage unit 160. The first denomination assigned to may be changed to a denomination other than the second denomination (that is, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill).

  If the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 is changed to the second denomination (that is, 10,000 yen bill), the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage box 140. When the denomination of the banknote fed out by the feeding unit 144 to the lower transport unit 146 and identified by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 is the first denomination (that is, a thousand-yen bill), the banknote is transported to the withdrawal transport unit 150. Then, it is sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 by the deposit conveyance unit 114 and temporarily returned to the collective banknote storage 140 after being temporarily stored in the collective temporary storage unit 130. Further, the denomination of the banknotes fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport section 146 by the banknote feeding section 144 and identified by the withdrawal identifying section 148 is the second denomination (ie, 10,000 yen bill). When this happens, the banknote is sent to one of the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160 by the dispensing conveyance section 150. In more detail, while the bundle of banknotes of the second denomination is being taken out from one of the organizing temporary storage units 160 by the arm unit 210, the second transporting unit 150 transfers the second denomination banknote to the other organizing temporary storage unit 160. The denomination banknotes are sent, and the second denomination banknotes are accumulated in the other organizing temporary storage unit 160. In addition, the denomination of the banknotes that are fed from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144 and identified by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 are denominations other than the first denomination and the second denomination. Banknotes (that is, two thousand yen bills and five thousand yen bills), the bills are sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 and the deposit transport unit 114. After being suspended, the bills are returned to the collective bill storage 140. In this way, when performing the denomination banding process in the banknote processing machine, the number of denominated banded banknotes (for example, the first denomination banded banknote) formed by the banding unit 212 is the number of banded banknotes. When the number of banded banknotes of the denomination designated by the designation unit 30 is reached, the first denomination is changed to the second denomination among the denominations assigned to the temporary storage units 160. By doing so, when forming the second denomination banded banknote, it becomes possible to make full use of the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160, and therefore a plurality of denominations It becomes possible to shorten the time taken to form the band-wrapped banknote by the band-wrapping portion 212.

  In addition, the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 has been changed to a denomination other than the second denomination (that is, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill). In this case, the denomination of the banknotes fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport section 146 by the banknote feeding section 144 and identified by the withdrawal identifying section 148 is the first denomination (that is, a thousand yen bill). If there is, the bill is sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 and the deposit transport unit 114, and temporarily stored in the collective temporary storage unit 130 and then returned to the collective banknote storage 140. Become. Further, the denomination of the banknotes fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport section 146 by the banknote feeding section 144 and identified by the withdrawal identifying section 148 is the second denomination (ie, 10,000 yen bill). When this happens, the banknote is sent to the lower arrangement temporary storage unit 160 by the withdrawal conveyance unit 150. Then, when the number of bills of the second denomination accumulated in the lower order temporary hold unit 160 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100), the lower side temporary hold by the arm unit 210. A bundle of banknotes is taken out from the unit 160, and the bundle of banknotes is transported to the banding unit 212 by the arm unit 210, and then bundled with banding paper at the banding unit 212 to form a banded banknote. In addition, the denominations of the banknotes fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144 and identified by the withdrawal identification unit 148 are newly allocated to the upper arrangement temporary storage unit 160. When it is a seed (that is, two thousand yen bill or five thousand yen bill), the banknote is sent to the upper-order organizing / temporary holding unit 160 by the dispensing transport unit 150. Then, when the number of banknotes of the denomination accumulated in the upper organizing temporary storage unit 160 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100), the arm unit 210 causes the banknotes from the upper organizing temporary storage unit 160 to A bundle of banknotes is taken out, and the bundle of banknotes is transported to the banding section 212 by the arm unit 210 and then bundled by banding paper at the banding section 212 to form a banded banknote. In such a method, it becomes possible to form a denominated banded banknote other than the first denominated banded banknote and the second denominated banded banknote in the banknote handling machine.

  In the present embodiment, the above “predetermined condition” is that the number of banded banknotes of a denomination formed by the banding part 212 is the number of banded banknotes of the denomination specified by the banding banknote number specifying part 30. You are not limited to reaching the number. Various other examples of “predetermined conditions” will be described below. For example, in the control unit 10, the number of banknotes of a certain denomination remaining in the collective banknote storage 140 becomes less than a predetermined number (for example, 100) and the denominations accumulated in the organizing temporary storage unit 160. It is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the number of banknotes of the banknote becomes 0, and at this time, among the denominations assigned to the temporary storage units 160, the money The seed may be changed to another denomination.

  More specifically, in the control unit 10, a first denomination (for example, a thousand yen bill) is pre-assigned to the upper arrangement temporary holding unit 160 and the second denomination is provided to the lower arrangement temporary holding unit 160. When (for example, 10,000 yen bill) is allocated, when a bundle of banknotes of the first denomination is taken out from the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 by the arm unit 210 and conveyed to the banding unit 212, for example. In addition, when the number of banknotes of the first denomination remaining in the collective banknote storage 140 becomes less than 100, which is the number of banknotes necessary to form a banded banknote, the upper order temporary hold The first denomination assigned to the unit 160 is changed to another denomination. Here, the first denomination assigned to the upper organization temporary storage unit 160 may be changed to the second denomination (ie, 10,000 yen bill), or the upper organization temporary storage unit 160. The first denomination assigned to may be changed to a denomination other than the second denomination (that is, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill). For example, when a bundle of banknotes of the first denomination is taken out from the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 by the arm section 210 and the number of banknotes accumulated in the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 becomes zero. When the number of banknotes of the first denomination remaining in the collective banknote storage 140 becomes less than 100, which is the number of banknotes necessary to form a banded banknote, Since it becomes impossible to form a banded banknote of one denomination any more, it is necessary to send the banknote of the first denomination drawn out from the collective banknote storage 140 by the banknote feeding unit 144 to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160. Because it disappears. In such a case, when the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 is changed to the second denomination (that is, 10,000 yen bill), When forming the second denominated banded banknote, it becomes possible to make full use of the upper arrangement temporary holding unit 160 and the lower arrangement temporary holding unit 160. The time required for forming the portion 212 can be reduced. In addition, the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 has been changed to a denomination other than the second denomination (that is, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill). In such a case, the banknote processing machine can form a banded banknote of a denomination other than the banded banknote of the first denomination or the banded banknote of the second denomination.

  Further, when the operation is performed such that the banded banknote formed by the banding part 212 in the banknote banding unit 200 is stored in each banded banknote storage cassette 230 by the banded banknote storage / dispensing transport unit 220 by denomination. The control unit 10 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied when it becomes impossible to store a banded banknote of a denomination formed by the banding part 212 in the banded banknote storage cassette 230. May be. Specifically, when the banded banknote storage cassette 230 corresponding to the denomination of the banded banknote formed by the banding part 212 is in a full state or near-full state, or the type of the banded banknote formed by the banding part 212 When the banded banknotes stored in the banded banknote storage cassette 230 corresponding to the number of bundles are set in advance, even if the banded banknote of the denomination is formed by the banding part 212, the banded banknote is stored in the banded banknote storage cassette. 230 cannot be stored. In this case, the control unit 10 determines that a predetermined condition has been satisfied, and the denomination of each denomination assigned to each organizing temporary storage unit 160 is changed to another denomination. The

  More specifically, in the control unit 10, a first denomination (for example, a thousand yen bill) is pre-assigned to the upper arrangement temporary holding unit 160 and the second denomination is provided to the lower arrangement temporary holding unit 160. (For example, 10,000 yen bills) is assigned, the arm unit 210 takes out a bundle of banknotes of the first denomination from, for example, the upper temporary storage unit 160 and transports them to the banding unit 212. When the banded banknote of the first denomination formed by the banding part 212 is stored in the banded banknote storage cassette 230 corresponding to the denomination, the banded banknote storage cassette 230 becomes full or near full, and this banded banknote When it is no longer possible to store the first denomination banded banknote in the storage cassette 230, the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary storage unit 160 is stored. Denomination is changed to other denominations. Here, the first denomination assigned to the upper organization temporary storage unit 160 may be changed to the second denomination (ie, 10,000 yen bill), or the upper organization temporary storage unit 160. The first denomination assigned to may be changed to a denomination other than the second denomination (that is, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill). In the case where the operation is performed such that the banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 in the banknote banding unit 200 are stored in the respective banded banknote storage cassettes 230 by the banded banknote storage / dispensing transport unit 220. When the banded banknote storage cassette 230 is in a full state or a near full state, and no more banded banknotes of the first denomination can be stored in the banded banknote storage cassette 230, the first money is processed in the banknote handling machine. This is because it is not necessary to form any other banded banknotes any more, so that it is not necessary to send the banknotes of the first denomination drawn out from the collective banknote storage 140 by the banknote feeding unit 144 to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160. . In such a case, when the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 is changed to the second denomination (that is, 10,000 yen bill), When forming the second denominated banded banknote, it becomes possible to make full use of the upper arrangement temporary holding unit 160 and the lower arrangement temporary holding unit 160. The time required for forming the portion 212 can be reduced. In addition, the first denomination assigned to the upper organizing temporary holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 has been changed to a denomination other than the second denomination (that is, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill). In such a case, the banknote processing machine can form a banded banknote of a denomination other than the banded banknote of the first denomination or the banded banknote of the second denomination.

  In the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, in each denomination of banknotes, the number of banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 reaches the number specified by the banding banknote number specifying part 30 (“NO” in STEP 13). The operations shown in STEP 1 to STEP 12 are repeated. Then, in each denomination of banknotes, when the number of banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 reaches the number specified by the banding banknote number specifying part 30 (“YES” in STEP 13), the two denominations in the banknote processing machine A series of operations related to the winding band sealing process is completed.

  According to the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, the control unit 10 has a denomination different from at least one of the plurality of temporary arrangement and storage units 160 in the arrangement and temporary storage unit 160. And the withdrawal transport unit 150 is controlled so that the banknotes transported by the withdrawal transport unit 150 are sent to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 corresponding to the denomination, and the control unit 10 When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the denomination assigned to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 is changed. In this case, when multiple (for example, two) denominated banded banknotes are formed in parallel, a predetermined denominated banded banknote need not be formed by a banknote processor. When the condition is satisfied, by changing the denomination assigned to the organization temporary storage unit 160 to another denomination, a plurality of organization temporary storage units 160 can be fully utilized, For this reason, the time taken to form a plurality of denominated banded banknotes by the banding portion 212 can be shortened.

  In the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, as described above, in the control unit 10, the number of denominated banded banknotes formed by the banding unit 212 is designated by the banded banknote number designating unit 30. It is determined that the above-mentioned predetermined condition is satisfied when the number of the banded banknotes is reached. At this time, among the denominations assigned to the temporary storage units 160, the money The seed is changed to another denomination. In this case, for example, when performing the denomination banding process in the banknote processing machine, the number of the denomination banded banknotes (for example, the first denomination banding banknotes) formed by the banding unit 212 is the bandage. When the number of banded banknotes of the denomination specified by the banknote number specifying unit 30 is reached, the first denomination among the denominations assigned to the temporary storage units 160 is, for example, the second denomination By changing to a seed, the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160 can be fully utilized when forming the second denomination banded banknote. This makes it possible to shorten the time required for forming the banded banknote of the denomination by the banding portion 212.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, as above-mentioned, in the control part 10, while the number of the banknotes of a certain denomination remaining in the collective banknote storage 140 becomes less than predetermined number, arrangement | positioning temporarily hold | maintains It is determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied when the number of banknotes of the denomination accumulated in the section 160 becomes zero. Of these denominations, the denomination may be changed to another denomination. For example, the number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 to which the first denomination is assigned becomes 0, and the banknotes of the first denomination remaining in the collective banknote storage 140 are displayed. When the number of sheets becomes less than 100, which is the number of banknotes necessary to form a banded banknote, it is impossible to form any more banded banknotes of the first denomination in the banknote processing machine. It is no longer necessary to send the banknote of the first denomination drawn out from the banknote storage 140 by the banknote feeding unit 144 to the temporary organizing / holding unit 160. In this case, the temporary organizing / holding to which the first denomination is assigned. By newly assigning another denomination to the unit 160, the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 can be used effectively.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, as mentioned above, in the control part 10, it became impossible to accommodate the banded banknote of a certain denomination formed with the banding part 212 in the banded banknote storage cassette 230. Sometimes, it is determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied, and at this time, among the denominations assigned to each organizing temporary holding unit 160, the denomination is changed to another denomination. It may be like this. In the case where the operation is performed such that the banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 in the banknote banding unit 200 are stored in the respective banded banknote storage cassettes 230 by the banded banknote storage / dispensing transport unit 220. When the banded banknote storage cassette 230 is in a full state or a near full state, and the banded banknote storage cassette 230 can no longer store, for example, a banded banknote of the first denomination, the first banknote processing machine uses this first Since there is no need to form any more denominated banded banknotes, it is not necessary to send the first denomination banknotes fed out from the collective banknote storage 140 by the banknote feeding unit 144 to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160. In this case, by arranging another denomination to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 to which the first denomination is assigned, It is possible to effectively use the storing portion 160.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, as above-mentioned, the control part 10 is a denomination (for example, upper arrangement temporary temporarily) among several denominations assigned to each arrangement temporary storage part 160. When changing the first denomination assigned to the holding unit 160 to another denomination, the denomination (ie, the second denomination) already assigned to the other organizing temporary holding unit 160 is changed. You may change, or you may change into the money type (namely, money type other than 2nd money type) which is not allocated to the other arrangement | positioning temporary storage part 160. FIG. In the former case, when forming the second denomination banded banknote, it becomes possible to make full use of the upper arrangement temporary storage section 160 and the lower arrangement temporary storage section 160. The time taken to form the denominated banded banknote by the banding portion 212 can be shortened. In the latter case, the banknote handling machine can also form a denominated banded banknote other than the first denominated banded banknote and the second denominated banded banknote.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, as above-mentioned, the collective banknote storage 140 used when the banding process of 2 denomination winding is performed stores the banknote of several denominations in a mixed state. It is supposed to be.

  In addition, the banknote processing machine by this Embodiment and the banknote processing method by such a banknote processing machine are not limited to an aspect as mentioned above, A various change can be added.

  For example, the “predetermined condition” that serves as a reference for changing the denomination assigned to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 in the control unit 10 is not limited to those given in the various examples described above. As predetermined conditions, conditions other than those mentioned in the above-described various examples may be used as long as it is not necessary to form a denominated banded banknote with a banknote processor.

  Further, in the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, three or more temporary arrangement storage units 160 are provided, and by assigning different denominations to each of these three or more arrangement temporary storage units 160. Three or more denominated banded banknotes may be formed in parallel. Even in this case, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the control unit 10 changes the denomination assigned to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160, thereby allowing three or more denominated banded banknotes to be parallel. When a predetermined condition that eliminates the need to form a banded banknote of a denomination with a banknote processing machine is satisfied when it is formed, the denomination assigned to the temporary storage unit 160 is By changing to another denomination, it becomes possible to make full use of the plurality of temporary storage units 160, and for this reason, it takes time to form three or more denominated banded bills by the banding unit 212. Can be shortened. Further, when three or more organizing temporary holding units 160 are provided, a plurality of organizing temporary holding units 160 among the three or more organizing temporary holding units 160 are not allocated to each other. A common denomination different from the other temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 may be assigned to the unit 160. Specifically, for example, in the case where three organizing temporary storage units 160 are provided, a first denomination (for example, a thousand yen bill) is allocated to two organizing temporary storage units 160 and the remaining one A second denomination (for example, 10,000 yen bill) may be assigned to the temporary arrangement storage unit 160. Regarding the banded banknote to be formed by the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, the first denomination banknote (ie, thousand yen bill) is considerably more than the second denomination banknote (ie, 10,000 yen bill). When it is known in advance that there are many, it is possible to shorten the time required to form a banded banknote by performing such assignment.
