Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bill handling apparatus, such as a compact coin changer, adapted to return only one denomination that can avoid shortage of bills in a safe and thus frequent replenishment of bills, by arranging a single bill retention part. <P>SOLUTION: The bill handling apparatus adapted to return only thousand-yen bills has the single bill retention part 7 capable of retaining only a single five-thousand-yen bill received. When a five-thousand-yen bill is received while a sensor 72 for the single bill retention part 7 detects "No Bill", a selector gate 71 is switched to feed the five-thousand-yen bill into the single bill retention part 7 through a feed passage branching from a main feed passage 3. When five thousand yen or more is to be dispensed, the five-thousand-yen bill retained in the single bill retention part 7 is used. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、紙幣処理装置に関し、特に一金種のみ還流する小型の釣銭機等の紙幣処理装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus, and more particularly to a banknote processing apparatus such as a small change machine that recirculates only one denomination.

従来の紙幣処理装置における紙幣収納部である金庫の小容量改善方法を、表1乃至表3を参照して説明する。表1及び表2は、釣銭額に応じて、どの金種を何枚必要とするかを示している。表1は、釣銭額に2千円札を使用しない場合であり、表2は、釣銭額に2千円札を使用する場合である。表1からわかるように、1、000円から9、000円までの1000円刻みの釣銭額のパターンに対して、千円札は合計で20枚必要となり、表2においても、千円札は合計で4枚必要となる。   A method for improving the small capacity of a safe which is a bill storage unit in a conventional bill processing apparatus will be described with reference to Tables 1 to 3. Tables 1 and 2 show how many denominations are required according to the amount of change. Table 1 shows a case where a 2000 yen bill is not used for the change amount, and Table 2 shows a case where a 2000 yen bill is used for the change amount. As can be seen from Table 1, 20 thousand yen bills are required in total for 1,000 yen change patterns ranging from 1,000 yen to 9,000 yen. A total of four are required.

そこで、釣銭に使用する千円札の減少、換言すれば、金庫からの出金量を抑制することを目的として、特許文献1では、釣銭が2千円の倍数の場合には2千円札のみで釣銭を放出するという従来技術が開示されている(例えば六千円の釣銭の場合、「5千円札+千円札」ではなく、「2千円札を3枚」で対応)。これを示したのが表3であり、釣銭として使用される千円札の合計必要枚数は2枚となり、表1及び表2に示す枚数と比較して減少している。   Therefore, in order to reduce the thousand yen bill used for change, in other words, to suppress the amount of withdrawal from the safe, in Patent Document 1, when the change is a multiple of 2000 yen, the 2000 yen bill is used. A conventional technique is disclosed in which a change is released only with a change (for example, in the case of a change of 6,000 yen, “three thousand yen bills are supported” instead of “5,000 yen bills + thousand yen bills”). This is shown in Table 3. The total required number of thousand yen bills used as change is two, which is smaller than the number shown in Tables 1 and 2.

また、特許文献2においては、複数枚投入される2千円札、又は5千円札を釣札紙幣として循環できるような紙幣処理装置が記載されている。同文献に記載の従来の紙幣処理装置においては、2千円札と判別された紙幣の一枚目を保留させる第1の一枚保留部と、5千円札と判別された紙幣の一枚目を保留させる第2の一枚保留部と、2千円又は5千円と判別された二枚目以降の紙幣を混合保留させる混合保留部とを設けている。このような構成により、2千円札、及び5千円札に関して、1枚のみの投入時に限り循環紙幣として保留可能であった従来技術の問題点を解消している。   Patent Document 2 describes a banknote processing apparatus that can circulate a 2,000-yen bill or a 5,000-yen bill inserted as a bill bill. In the conventional banknote processing apparatus described in the same document, a first one-sheet holding unit that holds the first banknote discriminated as a 2,000-yen bill and a single banknote discriminated as a 5,000-yen bill There is provided a second one-sheet holding section for holding the eyes and a mixing holding section for mixing and holding the second and subsequent bills determined to be 2,000 yen or 5,000 yen. With such a configuration, the problems of the prior art, which can be held as a circulation bill only when only one sheet is inserted, are solved for the 2,000 yen bill and the 5,000 yen bill.

しかしながら、上述の従来技術には以下に示すような問題点がある。   However, the above-described prior art has the following problems.

従来の紙幣処理装置においては、表1及び表2に示すように、千円札の出金枚数が増加し、千円札収納用の金庫を大容量化する必要があった。また、千円札収納用の金庫を大容量化する替わりに、小容量の金庫を使用する場合には、紙幣の補充作業を頻繁に行わなければならないという問題点があった。   In the conventional banknote handling apparatus, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, the number of withdrawals of the thousand yen bills has increased, and it has been necessary to increase the capacity of the safe for storing the thousand yen bills. In addition, when using a small-capacity safe instead of increasing the capacity of a safe for storing a thousand-yen bill, there is a problem that banknote replenishment work must be frequently performed.

特許文献1に記載されている従来の紙幣処理装置は、千円札収納用の金庫の小容量化には効果を奏するものの、二千円を繰り出さなければならないため、繰り出し用のモータ、及びローラ等の繰り出し機構が必要であり、装置の小型化、及び低価格化が困難になるという問題点があった。   Although the conventional banknote processing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is effective in reducing the capacity of a safe for storing a thousand yen bill, it has to pay out 2,000 yen. Thus, there is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the size and the price of the apparatus.

本発明はかかる問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、一金種のみ還流する小型の釣銭機等の紙幣処理装置において、一枚保留部を設けることにより、金庫内の紙幣が減少し、頻繁に紙幣の補充作業をすることを回避できる紙幣処理装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and in a banknote processing apparatus such as a small change machine that recirculates only one denomination, by providing a one-sheet holding portion, banknotes in a safe are reduced, It aims at providing the banknote processing apparatus which can avoid performing the replenishment operation | work of a banknote frequently.

次に、本実施形態の動作について説明する。先ず、入金動作として、図1の左側下方に設けられた入金口11Aに紙幣100がセットされた場合について説明する。入金口11Aに置かれた紙幣100は一括投入部1Aで一枚ずつ分離されながら紙幣処理装置内部に取り込まれ、更に、搬送モータ34に駆動された搬送ローラ33の列で、センサ32により通過を監視されながら搬送される。この際、識別部2Aで、取り込んだ紙幣の金種、及び真偽を判定する。正常と判定した場合は金庫へ収納するが、偽と判定した場合は切替ゲート31Aを切り替えて出金集積部6に収納後、出金口21Aへ一括返却する。正常と判断した場合は、搬送路3を経て切替ゲート31Bを通過し更に搬送された後、金種により切替ゲート31Cを切り替えて、千円札の場合は千円金庫4へ収納し、一万円札、五千円札、又は二千円札の場合は混合金庫5へ収納する。図1における右側下方に設けられた入金口11Bに紙幣がセットされた場合も同様である。   Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, the case where the banknote 100 is set to the deposit port 11A provided in the lower left part of FIG. The banknotes 100 placed in the deposit port 11A are taken into the banknote processing apparatus while being separated one by one by the batch insertion unit 1A, and further passed by a sensor 32 in a row of transport rollers 33 driven by a transport motor 34. Transported while being monitored. At this time, the denomination and authenticity of the taken banknote are determined by the identification unit 2A. If it is determined to be normal, it is stored in the safe. If it is determined to be false, the switching gate 31A is switched and stored in the withdrawal stacking unit 6, and then returned to the withdrawal port 21A in a lump. If it is determined to be normal, after passing through the switching path 31B through the transport path 3 and further transported, the switching gate 31C is switched by denomination, and in the case of a thousand yen bill, it is stored in the thousand yen safe 4, and 10,000 In the case of a yen bill, five thousand yen bill, or two thousand yen bill, it is stored in the mixed safe 5. The same applies to the case where a bill is set in the deposit port 11B provided at the lower right side in FIG.

次に、入金された紙幣の中に、5千円札が含まれる場合を考える。この入金動作のときに、一枚保留部7のセンサ72が「紙幣なし」と検知している場合は、切替ゲート71を切り替え、一枚保留部7用のモータ74を駆動して入金された五千円札を一枚保留部7へ搬送し保留する。   Next, consider a case where a 5,000 yen bill is included in the deposited banknote. During this depositing operation, if the sensor 72 of the one-sheet storage unit 7 detects “no banknote”, the switching gate 71 is switched, and the motor 74 for the one-sheet storage unit 7 is driven to deposit money. The 5,000 yen bill is transported to the holding unit 7 and held.

次に、釣銭が必要になった場合の出金動作について説明する。出金動作を制御する上位からの指令により、千円金庫4から必要な枚数の紙幣100を一枚ずつ繰り出していく。千円金庫4から繰り出された紙幣100を搬送モータ34に駆動された搬送ローラ33の列でセンサ32により監視しながら搬送し、出金集積部6に収納後、出金口21A又は21Bへ紙幣100を一括して搬送する。   Next, a description will be given of a dispensing operation when change is necessary. A necessary number of banknotes 100 are fed out one by one from the thousand yen safe 4 in accordance with a command from the host controlling the dispensing operation. The banknote 100 fed out from the thousand yen safe 4 is transported while being monitored by the sensor 32 by a row of transport rollers 33 driven by the transport motor 34, stored in the withdrawal stacking unit 6, and then banknotes to the withdrawal port 21A or 21B. 100 is transported collectively.

この出金動作のとき、釣銭が五千円以上の場合であり且つ一枚保留部7のセンサ72が「紙幣あり」を検知している場合は、この一枚保留部7に保持している紙幣を釣銭として使用する。即ち、切替ゲート71を切り替え、一枚保留部7のモータ74を駆動して五千円札をメインの搬送路3へ搬送する。そして、搬送モータ34に駆動された搬送ローラ33の列でセンサ32により監視しながら搬送し、出金集積部6に収納する。釣銭の足りない分は千円札を千円金庫4から繰り出し、出金集積部6に収納後、出金口21A又は21Bへ紙幣100を一括して搬送する。また、千円金庫4で繰り出した後、搬送路3で紙幣の重送を検知した場合は、搬送モータ34を停止後、搬送モータ34を逆方向に起動して切替ゲート31Cを切り替え、紙幣を混合金庫5へ収納する。   At the time of this withdrawal operation, if the change is 5,000 yen or more and the sensor 72 of the one-sheet storage unit 7 detects “with banknote”, the one-sheet storage unit 7 holds it. Use banknotes as change. That is, the switching gate 71 is switched, and the motor 74 of the one-sheet holding unit 7 is driven to convey the five thousand yen bill to the main conveyance path 3. And it conveys, monitoring with the sensor 32 by the row | line | column of the conveyance roller 33 driven by the conveyance motor 34, and accommodates in the payment | withdrawal stacking part 6. If there is not enough change, the thousand yen bill is paid out from the thousand yen safe 4, stored in the withdrawal stacking unit 6, and then the banknotes 100 are conveyed to the withdrawal opening 21A or 21B in a lump. In addition, when the double feed of the banknote is detected in the transport path 3 after being fed out by the thousand yen safe 4, after the transport motor 34 is stopped, the transport motor 34 is started in the reverse direction, and the switching gate 31C is switched to switch the banknote. Store in the mixing safe 5.

上述のように、本発明は一金種(例えば、千円)のみ還流する紙幣処理装置において、前記一金種以外の紙幣(例えば、5千円)を一枚のみ保留できる一枚保留部を一つ設け、この一枚保留部を搬送路3から分岐した後に終端する1本の分岐路とし、この一枚保留部に保留した紙幣を出金時に使用するものである。一方、特許文献2に記載の従来の紙幣処理装置は、一枚保留部を設けてはいるものの、その構造は本発明の一枚保留部とは異なり、2千円札を一枚保留する第1の一枚保留部及び5千円札を一枚保留する第2の一枚保留部の夫々に、1次及び2次保留部を設け、投入された紙幣を1次保留紙幣として1次保留部に保留し、更に釣札として2次保留部において2次保留を行う。そして、一次保留部及び2次保留部は、一枚保留部の内部に設けられた連続する第1及び第2の搬送路からなり、この第1及び第2の搬送路を2段構造とするものである。このように特許文献2に記載の従来技術は、一枚保留部が1次及び2次保留部からの二段構成になっているので、本発明と比較して、装置の大型化を招くという問題点がある。   As described above, in the banknote handling apparatus that recirculates only one denomination (for example, 1,000 yen), the present invention provides a one-sheet holding unit that can hold only one banknote (for example, 5,000 yen) other than the one denomination. One is provided, and this one-sheet holding part is used as one branch path that terminates after branching from the conveyance path 3, and the banknotes held in this one-sheet holding part are used at the time of withdrawal. On the other hand, although the conventional banknote processing apparatus described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a one-sheet holding unit, the structure is different from the one-sheet holding unit of the present invention, and the first one holds two thousand yen bills. A primary and secondary storage unit is provided in each of the 1-sheet storage unit and the 2nd one-sheet storage unit that stores one 5,000 yen bill, and the inserted banknote is used as the primary storage banknote. The secondary holding is performed in the secondary holding unit as a fishing tag. And a primary reservation part and a secondary reservation part consist of a continuous 1st and 2nd conveyance path provided in the inside of a 1 sheet reservation part, and let this 1st and 2nd conveyance path be a two-stage structure. Is. As described above, the prior art described in Patent Document 2 has a two-stage configuration in which the single-sheet storage unit is composed of the primary and secondary storage units, which leads to an increase in the size of the apparatus as compared with the present invention. There is a problem.

次に、本実施形態の効果について説明する。第1の効果は、五千円以上の出金が必要な場合、一枚保留部7に五千円札が保留してあれば、従来は千円金庫から千円札が五枚以上減っていたのに対し、保留していた「五千円札+α」で対応が可能となり、千円札の減少を抑えることができ、金庫への紙幣補充の必要回数を減らすことが可能となる。第2の効果は、一枚保留部7を設けたことにより、金庫の小容量化が改善され、混合金庫5に繰り出し機構を設ける必要がなくなり、装置の小型化及び低価格化を実現することができる。   Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described. The first effect is that if a withdrawal of 5,000 yen or more is required, if a 5,000-yen bill is held in the single-sheet holding unit 7, the number of thousand-yen bills has been reduced from the 1,000-yen bank in the past. On the other hand, it is possible to cope with “5,000 yen bill + α” that has been put on hold, it is possible to suppress the decrease of the thousand yen bill, and it is possible to reduce the necessary number of times of banknote replenishment to the safe. The second effect is that the storage capacity of the safe is improved by providing the one-sheet storage unit 7, and it is not necessary to provide a feeding mechanism in the mixed safe 5, thereby realizing downsizing and cost reduction of the apparatus. Can do.

なお、上記の実施形態においては、一枚保留部に5千円札を保留するものとしたが、一枚保留部に一万円札を保留してもよい。入金動作のときに、一万円札が入金されて一枚保留部7のセンサ72が「紙幣なし」と検知している場合は、切替ゲート71を切り替え、一枚保留部のモータ74を駆動して、一万円札を一枚保留部7へ搬送して保留しておく。一万円以上の入金に対して、入金キャンセルが発生した場合、一枚保留部7のセンサ72が「紙幣あり」を検知している場合は、この一枚保留部7に保持している一万円札をキャンセル用の紙幣として使用する。即ち、切替ゲート71を切り替え、一枚保留部7のモータ74を駆動して、一枚保留部7に保留された一万円札をメインの搬送部3へ搬送する。そして、搬送モータ34により駆動された搬送ローラ33の列でセンサ32により監視しながら一万円札を搬送し、出金集積部6に収納する。釣銭の足りない分は千円金庫4から千円札を繰り出し、出金集積部6に収納後、出金口21又は21Bへ紙幣100を一括して搬送する。一万円の入金キャンセルのときに、従来千円金庫4から千円札が十枚減っていたのに対し、一枚保留部7に保持していた一万円札で対応が可能となり、千円札の減少を抑えることが可能となり、金庫への紙幣補充の回数を減らすことができる。また、5千札又は一万円札ほど効果的ではないが、一枚保留部に2千円札を保留することもできる。なお、一枚保留部に保留する金種は予めシステム全体として決めておくことが好ましい。   In the above embodiment, the 5,000-yen bill is held in the single-sheet holding unit, but the 10,000-yen bill may be held in the single-sheet holding unit. If a 10,000-yen bill is deposited and the sensor 72 of the one-sheet storage unit 7 detects “no banknote” during the deposit operation, the switching gate 71 is switched and the motor 74 of the one-sheet storage unit is driven. Then, the 10,000 yen bill is conveyed to the holding unit 7 and held there. When deposit cancellation occurs for deposits of 10,000 yen or more, if the sensor 72 of the one-sheet storage unit 7 detects “with banknotes”, the one-sheet storage unit 7 holds the one Use a 10,000 yen bill as a banknote for cancellation. That is, the switching gate 71 is switched, and the motor 74 of the single-sheet storage unit 7 is driven to transport the 10,000 yen bills stored in the single-sheet storage unit 7 to the main transport unit 3. Then, the 10,000 yen bill is transported while being monitored by the sensor 32 in the row of transport rollers 33 driven by the transport motor 34 and stored in the dispensing stacking unit 6. If there is not enough change, the thousand yen bill is fed out from the thousand yen safe 4, stored in the withdrawal stacking unit 6, and then the banknotes 100 are conveyed to the withdrawal port 21 or 21B in a lump. When a 10,000 yen deposit was canceled, ten thousand yen bills were reduced from the thousand yen safe 4 in the past, but the 10,000 yen bill held in the one-sheet storage unit 7 can be used. It becomes possible to suppress the decrease in the yen bills, and the number of bill replenishment to the safe can be reduced. Also, although not as effective as 5,000 bills or 10,000 yen bills, it is possible to hold 2,000 yen bills in the one-sheet storage section. In addition, it is preferable to predetermine the denomination to be reserved in the single sheet storage unit as the entire system.

本発明は、本願請求の範囲の記載に基づく技術的範囲において、種々の変形が可能であり、本発明の技術的範囲は、何ら本発明の実施形態により限定されるものではない。   The present invention can be variously modified within the technical scope based on the description of the scope of claims of the present application, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments of the present invention.
