特開２００１−９３０２２号公報JP 2001-93022 A

上記の特許文献１の紙幣出金口は、１つであるため、多量の紙幣をまとめて搬送することが困難である。そこで、紙幣出金口を二つ設ける方策が検討されている。   Since the banknote dispensing port of Patent Document 1 is one, it is difficult to transport a large amount of banknotes together. Therefore, measures for providing two banknote outlets are being studied.

ところで、紙幣出金口には、通常、開閉可能なシャッタが設けられており、紙幣の搬送中はシャッタが閉じている。そして、紙幣出金口の紙幣を抜き取るためには、シャッタを開ける必要がある。このため、紙幣出金口を二つ設けた場合には、各出金口にシャッタを設けることになる。しかし、２つの出金口に紙幣を搬送した場合に、２つの出金口の紙幣を効率的に抜き取るためのシャッタの開閉動作については、検討されていなかった。   By the way, the banknote dispensing port is usually provided with a shutter that can be opened and closed, and the shutter is closed during the conveyance of banknotes. And in order to extract the banknote of a banknote withdrawal port, it is necessary to open a shutter. For this reason, when two banknote dispensing ports are provided, a shutter is provided at each dispensing port. However, when the banknotes are conveyed to the two withdrawal openings, the opening / closing operation of the shutter for efficiently extracting the banknotes at the two withdrawal openings has not been studied.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、本発明の目的とするところは、２つの出金口に搬送された紙幣を効率的に抜き取ることが可能な、新規かつ改良された紙幣処理装置を提供することにある。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is a new and improved method capable of efficiently extracting banknotes conveyed to two withdrawal ports. It is to provide a banknote processing apparatus.

The deposit port 12 may be provided with a shutter (not shown) for opening and closing the opening. Moreover, the deposit port 12 has a separating function for separating and feeding out banknotes inserted in a bundle one by one.

第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５は、職員が受け取る紙幣が排出（出金）される排出口である。第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５は、排出する紙幣を集積する集積機能を有する。第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５は、一例として、紙幣を１００枚（最大集積枚数）集積できる容量を有する。図１に示す例では、出金口が２つ設けられているが、これに限定されず、例えば出金口が３つ以上であってもよい。なお、図２に示すように、第１出金口１４には開口部を開閉する第１出金口シャッタ（以下、第１シャッタと呼ぶ）１６が、第２出金口１５には開口部を開閉する第２出金口シャッタ（以下、第２シャッタと呼ぶ）１７が、それぞれ設けられている。   The first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 are discharge ports from which banknotes received by the staff are discharged (withdrawn). The first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 have a stacking function for stacking the banknotes to be discharged. The 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15 have the capacity | capacitance which can stack | stack 100 banknotes (maximum integration | stacking number) as an example. In the example shown in FIG. 1, two withdrawal openings are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there may be three or more withdrawal openings. As shown in FIG. 2, the first withdrawal port 14 has a first withdrawal port shutter (hereinafter referred to as a first shutter) 16 that opens and closes the opening, and the second withdrawal port 15 has an opening. A second withdrawal opening shutter (hereinafter referred to as a second shutter) 17 is provided for opening and closing each.

図２は、第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７の構成例を示す模式図である。図２（ａ）には、第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７が閉じた状態が示され、図２（ｂ）には、第１シャッタ１６が開いた状態が示されている。第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７は、移動することにより第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５を閉じる。なお、第１出金口１４に紙幣が搬送されている際には、第１シャッタ１６は閉じており、第２出金口１５に紙幣が搬送されている際には、第２シャッタ１７は閉じている。なお、図２では、平面状の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７をスライドさせて開閉させているが、曲面状のシャッタを回動させて開閉されても良い。   FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration example of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17. FIG. 2A shows a state where the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 are closed, and FIG. 2B shows a state where the first shutter 16 is opened. The first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 move to close the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15. In addition, when the banknote is conveyed to the 1st withdrawal port 14, the 1st shutter 16 is closed, and when the banknote is conveyed to the 2nd withdrawal port 15, the 2nd shutter 17 is Closed. In FIG. 2, the planar first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 are opened and closed by sliding, but the curved shutter may be rotated and opened.

紙幣認識部２０は、１枚ずつ通過していく紙幣の鑑別を行う。紙幣の進行方向は双方向に対応しており、紙幣認識部２０は、入金口１２側の方向から搬送される紙幣、およびその逆方向から搬送される紙幣の鑑別を行うことができる。具体的には、紙幣認識部２０は、搬送路を通って搬送された紙幣の金種、真偽（真券／偽券）、正損（正券／損券）および走行状態（正常／異常）などを鑑別し、通過する紙幣に対して、正常判定またはリジェクト判定を行う。   The banknote recognition part 20 performs the discrimination of the banknote which passes one by one. The traveling direction of the banknotes corresponds to both directions, and the banknote recognition unit 20 can distinguish between banknotes conveyed from the direction of the deposit port 12 and banknotes conveyed from the opposite direction. Specifically, the banknote recognition unit 20 determines the denomination, authenticity (genuine / fake) of banknotes conveyed through the conveyance path, correctness (correction / non-conformity), and running state (normal / abnormal). ) And the like, and a normality judgment or a rejection judgment is performed on the passing banknote.

ここで、本明細書において真券とは紙幣と鑑別されたものをいい、偽券とは紙幣と鑑別されなかったものをいう。また、正券とは真券と鑑別された紙幣のうち入金／出金に適すると鑑別されたものをいい、損券とは真券と鑑別された紙幣のうち入金／出金に適さないと鑑別されたものをいう。また、リジェクト判定は、偽券、損券（汚損、損壊、外形異常等）、走行異常（スキュー紙幣、重走等）といった要因に基づいて行われる。また、リジェクト紙幣には、出金紙幣として取り扱えない紙幣（例えば二千円札や五千円札）を含んでもよいし、外国紙幣を含んでもよい。   Here, in this specification, a genuine note refers to what has been differentiated from banknotes, and a fake note refers to what has not been differentiated from banknotes. In addition, a correct ticket is a banknote identified as a genuine note that is identified as suitable for deposit / withdrawal, and a non-performing note is a banknote identified as a genuine note that is not suitable for deposit / withdrawal. This is what has been identified. In addition, the rejection determination is performed based on factors such as counterfeit bills, damaged bills (stains, damages, outer shape anomalies, etc.), running abnormalities (skew bills, heavy runs, etc.) The reject banknote may include a banknote that cannot be handled as a withdrawal banknote (for example, a 2000 yen bill or a 5000 yen bill) or may include a foreign banknote.

一時保留部２２は、紙幣の分離と集積の両方の機能を有する。例えば、一時保留部２２は、入金取引時に入金口１２から分離されて紙幣認識部２０により正常と鑑別された紙幣を一時的に集積する。一時保留部２２に集積された紙幣は、入金した紙幣の口座計上などが確定したなど、取引が成立した場合に繰り出され、紙幣認識部２０を経て紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄなどに搬送される。なお、一時保留部２２は、紙幣を順次重ねて集積する集積式であってもよいし、紙幣を順次巻いて収納するドラム式であってもよい。   The temporary storage unit 22 has both banknote separation and stacking functions. For example, the temporary storage unit 22 temporarily accumulates the banknotes separated from the deposit port 12 and identified as normal by the banknote recognition unit 20 during the deposit transaction. The banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit 22 are paid out when a transaction is established, for example, when the account accounting of the deposited banknotes is confirmed, and are conveyed to the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D through the banknote recognition unit 20. The temporary storage unit 22 may be an accumulation type that sequentially stacks and accumulates banknotes, or may be a drum type that sequentially winds and stores banknotes.

搬送部２４は、搬送路、紙幣を搬送する搬送ローラ、および搬送ローラを駆動する駆動機構を含み、紙幣を一枚ずつ搬送する。駆動機構は、例えばＤＣサーボモータまたはパルスモータなどが回転することにより、搬送ローラを駆動する。搬送部２４は、後述する制御部により制御され、紙幣を目的の搬送先（例えば、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５）に搬送する。   The transport unit 24 includes a transport path, a transport roller that transports banknotes, and a drive mechanism that drives the transport rollers, and transports banknotes one by one. The drive mechanism drives the transport roller by rotating a DC servo motor or a pulse motor, for example. The transport unit 24 is controlled by a control unit which will be described later, and transports banknotes to a target transport destination (for example, the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15).

紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄは、紙幣を金種毎に収納可能な紙幣収納部であって、紙幣の集積および分離の両方の機能を有する。また、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄは、同一金種のための複数の紙幣カセットを含んでもよい。例えば、紙幣カセット３０Ａおよび３０Ｃが一万円札用の紙幣カセットであり、紙幣カセット３０Ｂおよび３０Ｄが千円札用の紙幣カセットであってもよい。また、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄは、紙幣処理装置１０に対して着脱可能な構造になっており、個別に交換することで紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに紙幣を装填することも可能である。   The banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D are banknote storage units that can store banknotes for each denomination and have both functions of banknote accumulation and separation. Moreover, banknote cassettes 30A-30D may include a plurality of banknote cassettes for the same denomination. For example, the bill cassettes 30A and 30C may be bill cassettes for 10,000 yen bills, and the bill cassettes 30B and 30D may be bill cassettes for thousand yen bills. Moreover, banknote cassette 30A-30D becomes a structure which can be attached or detached with respect to the banknote processing apparatus 10, and it is also possible to load a banknote into the banknote cassette 30A-30D by replacing | exchanging separately.

リジェクト庫付き紙幣カセット３５（以下、紙幣カセット３５とも称す）は、紙幣処理装置１０に対して着脱可能な構造になっており、個別に交換することで、紙幣の回収および補充が可能である。また、紙幣カセット３５は、上側に紙幣収納庫３６、下側（底部）にリジェクト庫３７を備える。   The bill cassette 35 with a reject box (hereinafter also referred to as a bill cassette 35) has a structure that can be attached to and detached from the bill processing apparatus 10, and can be collected and replenished by exchanging them individually. Moreover, the banknote cassette 35 is equipped with the banknote storage 36 on the upper side, and the rejection store | warehouse | chamber 37 on the lower side (bottom part).

紙幣収納庫３６は、紙幣を集積する集積機能および１枚ずつ繰り出す分離機能を有する。また、紙幣収納庫３６は、カセット計数回収時に各紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄから分離された紙幣を集積し、紙幣を回収することができる。また、紙幣収納庫３６は、カセット計数補充に、紙幣収納庫３６内に集積している紙幣を繰り出し、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに紙幣を補充することができる。   The banknote storage 36 has a stacking function for stacking banknotes and a separating function for feeding out banknotes one by one. Moreover, the banknote storage 36 can accumulate | store the banknote isolate | separated from each banknote cassette 30A-30D at the time of cassette count collection | recovery, and can collect | recover a banknote. Moreover, the banknote storage 36 can feed out the banknotes accumulated in the banknote storage 36 for replenishing the cassette count, and can replenish banknotes 30A to 30D with banknotes.

リジェクト庫３７は、紙幣を集積する集積機能のみ有する。リジェクト庫３７は、紙幣認識部２０によって異常と鑑別（リジェクト判定）された紙幣（リジェクト紙幣）を集積するための紙幣収納部である。   The reject store 37 has only a stacking function for stacking banknotes. The reject warehouse 37 is a banknote storage unit for stacking banknotes (reject banknotes) that have been identified as abnormal (rejection determination) by the banknote recognition unit 20.

表示部４０は、メニュー画面や処理結果画面を表示する。表示部４０は、例えば、ＣＲＴ（Ｃａｔｈｏｄｅ Ｒａｙ Ｔｕｂｅ）ディスプレイ装置、液晶ディスプレイ（ＬＣＤ）装置、ＯＬＥＤ（Ｏｒｇａｎｉｃ Ｌｉｇｈｔ Ｅｍｉｔｔｉｎｇ Ｄｉｏｄｅ）装置により実現される。   The display unit 40 displays a menu screen and a processing result screen. The display unit 40 is realized by, for example, a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display device, a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) device.

また、紙幣処理装置１０は、職員が操作可能な操作部（不図示）を有する。紙幣処理装置１０は、職員が操作部を操作することにより、入金や出金の取引に対応する入金処理や出金処理等を行う。なお、紙幣処理装置１０は、操作部の代わりに、紙幣処理装置１０に接続された受付端末における職員の操作に基づいて、処理を行なっても良い。   Moreover, the banknote processing apparatus 10 has the operation part (not shown) which a staff can operate. The banknote processing apparatus 10 performs a depositing process or a withdrawal process corresponding to a transaction of depositing or withdrawing by the staff operating the operation unit. In addition, the banknote processing apparatus 10 may process based on the operation of the staff in the reception terminal connected to the banknote processing apparatus 10 instead of an operation part.

入金処理は、入金口１２の紙幣を紙幣処理装置１０の内部に集積する処理である。紙幣処理装置１０は、入金処理として、例えば、入金紙幣を一時保留部２２へ退避させた後に一時保留部２２から紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積する通常入金処理と、入金紙幣を一時保留部２２へ退避させないで直接紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積するダイレクト入金処理とを行う。なお、紙幣処理装置１０は、設定により通常入金処理又はダイレクト入金処理を選択することができる。 (Deposit processing)
The deposit process is a process for accumulating the bills in the deposit port 12 in the bill processing apparatus 10. The banknote processing apparatus 10 performs, for example, a normal depositing process in which the deposited banknote is retracted to the temporary storage unit 22 and then accumulated in the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D after the deposited banknote is retracted to the temporary storage unit 22. A direct depositing process is performed in which the banknote cassettes 30A to 30D are directly accumulated without being retracted. Note that the banknote handling apparatus 10 can select a normal deposit process or a direct deposit process depending on the setting.

まず、通常入金処理について説明する。通常入金処理においては、まず、入金口１２に投入された紙幣が一枚ずつ分離して繰り出され、繰り出された紙幣は、搬送部２４により紙幣認識部２０に搬送される。次に、紙幣認識部２０が紙幣の鑑別を行い、鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、一時保留部２２へ搬送されて集積される。その後、入金金額が確定すると、集積処理に移行する。   First, the normal deposit process will be described. In the normal deposit process, first, banknotes inserted into the deposit port 12 are separated and fed one by one, and the fed banknotes are conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 20 by the conveyance unit 24. Next, the banknote recognition unit 20 performs banknote discrimination, and banknotes whose discrimination result is normal are conveyed to the temporary storage unit 22 and accumulated. After that, when the deposit amount is fixed, the process proceeds to accumulation processing.

一方で、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣（リジェクト紙幣）は、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積される。第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積された紙幣は、職員により入金口１２に再投入されることで、紙幣認識部２０による再鑑別が可能である。なお、以下において、紙幣認識部２０により紙幣を鑑別し、鑑別結果に基づき搬送先に紙幣を搬送する処理を計数処理とも呼ぶ。   On the other hand, the banknote (reject banknote) in which the discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 is abnormal is accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15. The banknotes accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15 can be re-differentiated by the banknote recognition unit 20 by being reinserted into the deposit port 12 by the staff. In the following, the process of discriminating banknotes by the banknote recognition unit 20 and transporting the banknotes to the transport destination based on the discrimination result is also referred to as counting process.

集積処理においては、まず、一時保留部２２から紙幣が１枚ずつ分離され、分離された紙幣が紙幣認識部２０に搬送される。次に、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、金種に対応する紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積される。一方で、汚損券、折れ紙幣、スキュー紙幣などの走行異常紙幣のように、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣は、紙幣カセット３５のリジェクト庫３７に集積される。   In the stacking process, first, banknotes are separated one by one from the temporary storage unit 22, and the separated banknotes are conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 20. Next, the banknotes for which the discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 is normal are accumulated in the banknote cassettes 30A to 30D corresponding to the denominations. On the other hand, banknotes for which the discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 is abnormal, such as running abnormal banknotes such as a dirty banknote, a folded banknote, and a skew banknote, are accumulated in the reject box 37 of the banknote cassette 35.

一方で、入金金額の確定前に入金紙幣の返却（キャンセル）が指示されると、返却処理に移行する。返却処理においては、まず、一時保留部２２から紙幣が１枚ずつ分離され、分離された紙幣が紙幣認識部２０に搬送される。そして、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が正常／異常いずれであっても、全ての紙幣を第１出金口１４、又は第２出金口１５へ集積する。   On the other hand, if a return (cancellation) of the deposited banknote is instructed before the deposit amount is confirmed, the process proceeds to a return process. In the return process, first, banknotes are separated one by one from the temporary holding unit 22, and the separated banknotes are conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 20. And even if the discrimination result by the banknote recognition part 20 is normal / abnormal, all the banknotes are accumulated in the 1st withdrawal port 14 or the 2nd withdrawal port 15.

次に、ダイレクト入金処理について説明する。入金口１２に投入された紙幣は、通常入金処理と同様に、紙幣認識部２０により鑑別される。そして、鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、金種に対応する紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積される。一方で、鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣（リジェクト紙幣）は、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積される。第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積された紙幣は、職員により入金口１２に再投入されることで、紙幣認識部２０による再鑑別が可能である。   Next, the direct deposit process will be described. The banknote inserted into the deposit port 12 is identified by the banknote recognition unit 20 in the same manner as the normal deposit process. And the banknote whose discrimination result was normal is integrated | stacked on banknote cassette 30A-30D corresponding to a money type. On the other hand, banknotes (reject banknotes) whose discrimination results are abnormal are accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15. The banknotes accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15 can be re-differentiated by the banknote recognition unit 20 by being reinserted into the deposit port 12 by the staff.

（出金処理）
出金処理は、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄの紙幣を第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積する処理である。 (Withdrawal processing)
The withdrawal process is a process of accumulating the banknotes in the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D at the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15.

出金処理においては、まず、指定された金額に応じて紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄから紙幣が１枚ずつ分離して繰り出され、繰り出された紙幣は、搬送部２４により紙幣認識部２０に搬送される。次に、紙幣認識部２０が紙幣の鑑別を行い、鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積される。具体的には、例えば出金する正常紙幣の金種や枚数に応じて、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に選択的に集積（集金）される。一方で、鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣、すなわち、顧客に支払いできない紙幣は、紙幣カセット３５のリジェクト庫３７に集積される。   In the withdrawal process, first, banknotes are separated and fed out one by one from the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D according to the designated amount, and the fed banknotes are transported to the banknote recognition unit 20 by the transport unit 24. . Next, the banknote recognition unit 20 performs banknote discrimination, and banknotes whose discrimination result is normal are accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15. Specifically, for example, depending on the denomination and number of normal banknotes to be withdrawn, the money is selectively accumulated (collected) at the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15. On the other hand, banknotes with an abnormal discrimination result, that is, banknotes that cannot be paid to the customer, are accumulated in the reject box 37 of the banknote cassette 35.

（補充処理）
補充処理は、紙幣処理装置１０に紙幣を補充する処理である。紙幣処理装置１０においては、具体的な補充方法として、入金口補充、カセット交換補充、およびカセット計数補充が可能である。以下、各補充方法について説明する。 (Replenishment processing)
The replenishment process is a process for replenishing the banknote processing apparatus 10 with banknotes. In the banknote handling apparatus 10, as a specific replenishment method, a deposit port replenishment, a cassette replacement replenishment, and a cassette count replenishment are possible. Hereinafter, each replenishment method will be described.

入金口補充は、上述した入金処理における動作と同様である。例えば、入金口１２から繰り出され、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、一時保留部２２に退避された後、金種に対応する紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積される。一方で、鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣は、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積される。   The deposit port replenishment is the same as the operation in the deposit process described above. For example, banknotes fed out from the deposit port 12 and having a normal discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 are evacuated to the temporary storage unit 22 and then accumulated in the banknote cassettes 30A to 30D corresponding to the denominations. On the other hand, the banknote whose discrimination result is abnormal is accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15.

カセット交換補充は、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄが着脱可能であることを利用するものであり、予め紙幣を装填した紙幣カセットを、既に装着された紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄのいずれかと交換することで、紙幣を補充する。なお、カセット交換補充では、補充した紙幣の金種と枚数をオペレータがマニュアルで登録する必要がある。   Cassette replacement replenishment utilizes the fact that the banknote cassettes 30A to 30D are detachable, and the banknote cassette loaded with banknotes in advance is exchanged with one of the already mounted banknote cassettes 30A to 30D. To replenish. In cassette replacement replenishment, the operator must manually register the denomination and number of replenished banknotes.

カセット計数補充においては、まず、紙幣カセット３５の紙幣収納庫３６に予め紙幣を装填し、紙幣処理装置１０にセットする。次に、紙幣収納庫３６から繰り出され、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、金種に対応する紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積される。一方で、鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣は、リジェクト庫３７に集積される。なお、カセット計数補充では、紙幣認識部２０により計数処理が実行されるので、補充した紙幣の金種および枚数をオペレータがマニュアルで登録する必要はない。   In the cassette count replenishment, first, banknotes are loaded in advance into the banknote storage 36 of the banknote cassette 35 and set in the banknote processing apparatus 10. Next, the banknotes which have been fed out from the banknote storage 36 and whose discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 is normal are accumulated in the banknote cassettes 30A to 30D corresponding to the denominations. On the other hand, banknotes whose discrimination results are abnormal are accumulated in the reject box 37. In addition, since the counting process is executed by the banknote recognition unit 20 in the cassette count replenishment, it is not necessary for the operator to manually register the denomination and the number of the replenished banknotes.

（回収処理）
回収処理は、紙幣処理装置１０内の紙幣を回収する処理である。紙幣処理装置１０においては、具体的な回収方法として、出金口回収、カセット交換回収、およびカセット計数回収が可能である。以下、各回収方法について説明する。 (Recovery processing)
The collection process is a process for collecting banknotes in the banknote processing apparatus 10. In the banknote processing apparatus 10, as a specific collection method, withdrawal port collection, cassette exchange collection, and cassette count collection are possible. Hereinafter, each collection method will be described.

出金口回収は、上述した出金処理における動作と同様である。例えば、回収対象の紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄから繰り出され、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に集積される。一方で、鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣は、リジェクト庫３７に集積される。そして、回収対象の紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄに集積された全紙幣に対して行い、職員は、第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５から、正常判定された紙幣を回収することができる。また、職員は、リジェクト庫３７から異常判定された紙幣を回収することができる。   The withdrawal port collection is the same as the operation in the withdrawal process described above. For example, banknotes fed out from the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D to be collected and having a normal discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 are accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port 15. On the other hand, banknotes whose discrimination results are abnormal are accumulated in the reject box 37. And it performs with respect to all the banknotes integrated | stacked on banknote cassette 30A-30D of collection | recovery, and the staff can collect the banknote determined as normal from the 1st withdrawal port 14 or the 2nd withdrawal port 15. . In addition, the staff can collect the banknote determined to be abnormal from the reject box 37.

カセット交換回収は、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄのうちの所定の紙幣カセットを紙幣処理装置１０から取り外すことで、紙幣の回収を行う。なお、カセット交換回収では、オペレータが、取り外した紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄから紙幣を抜き取り、回収した紙幣の金種と枚数をマニュアルで数える必要がある。   Cassette exchange collection | recovery collects a banknote by removing the predetermined banknote cassette of banknote cassette 30A-30D from the banknote processing apparatus 10. FIG. In cassette exchange recovery, an operator needs to extract banknotes from the removed banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D and manually count the denominations and the number of recovered banknotes.

カセット計数回収においては、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄのうち回収対象の紙幣カセットから繰り出され、紙幣認識部２０による鑑別結果が正常であった紙幣は、紙幣カセット３５の紙幣収納庫３６に集積される。一方で、鑑別結果が異常であった紙幣は、リジェクト庫３７に集積される。その後、職員が紙幣カセット３５のみを紙幣処理装置１０から取り外すことで、正常判定された紙幣および異常判定された紙幣を回収することができる。また、カセット計数回収では、紙幣認識部２０により計数処理が実行されるので、回収した紙幣の金種および枚数をオペレータがマニュアルで数える必要はない。   In the cassette count collection, the banknotes fed out of the banknote cassettes to be collected out of the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D and whose discrimination result by the banknote recognition unit 20 is normal are accumulated in the banknote storage 36 of the banknote cassette 35. On the other hand, banknotes whose discrimination results are abnormal are accumulated in the reject box 37. Thereafter, the staff removes only the banknote cassette 35 from the banknote processing apparatus 10, whereby the banknote determined to be normal and the banknote determined to be abnormal can be collected. Further, in the cassette counting and collecting, since the counting process is executed by the bill recognition unit 20, it is not necessary for the operator to manually count the denomination and the number of the collected bills.

（１−３．計数処理時のシャッタ開閉動作について）
紙幣処理装置１０は、出金処理における計数処理等の際に第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣を搬送するが、２つの出金口に搬送された紙幣を効率的に抜き取るために、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７のシャッタ開閉動作を制御している。ここでは、本実施形態に係るシャッタ開閉動作を説明する前に、比較例に係るシャッタ開閉動作について説明する。 (1-3. Shutter opening / closing operation during counting process)
The banknote processing apparatus 10 transports banknotes to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 during counting processing in the withdrawal process, but efficiently handles the banknotes transported to the two withdrawal ports. In order to extract, the shutter opening / closing operation of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 is controlled. Here, before describing the shutter opening / closing operation according to the present embodiment, the shutter opening / closing operation according to the comparative example will be described.

図３を参照しながら、比較例に係る計数処理時の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７の開閉動作について説明する。図３は、比較例に係る計数処理時におけるシャッタ開閉動作を示すフローチャートである。   The opening / closing operation of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 during the counting process according to the comparative example will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the shutter opening / closing operation during the counting process according to the comparative example.

図３のフローチャートは、出金紙幣の計数処理中に計数処理を停止する要因（例えば、全ての出金紙幣の出金口への搬送が完了した場合）を検知したところから開始される。計数処理の停止要因を検知すると、計数処理が停止する（ステップＳ８０２）。   The flowchart of FIG. 3 is started when a factor for stopping the counting process during the counting process of the withdrawal banknotes (for example, when the conveyance of all the withdrawal banknotes to the withdrawal port is completed) is detected. When the stop factor of the counting process is detected, the counting process is stopped (step S802).

次に、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の一方（ここでは、第１シャッタ１６とする）のみを開ける（ステップＳ８０４）。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４に集積された紙幣を抜き取ることができる。そして、第１出金口１４からの紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると（ステップＳ８０６）、第１シャッタ１６が閉まる（ステップＳ８０８）。その後、第２出金口１５の第２シャッタ１７が開く（ステップＳ８１０）。これにより、職員は、第２出金口１５に集積された紙幣を抜き取ることができる。   Next, only one of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 (here, the first shutter 16) is opened (step S804). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknotes accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14. Then, when the withdrawal of the banknote from the first withdrawal port 14 is detected (step S806), the first shutter 16 is closed (step S808). Thereafter, the second shutter 17 of the second withdrawal port 15 is opened (step S810). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknotes accumulated in the second withdrawal port 15.

比較例の場合には、２つの出金口１４、１５の紙幣を順番に抜き取るため、第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るためには、第１シャッタ１６が閉まるまで待つ必要がある。このため、第２出金口１５から紙幣を抜き取るのに時間を要する。   In the case of the comparative example, since the banknotes in the two withdrawal ports 14 and 15 are sequentially extracted, it is necessary to wait until the first shutter 16 is closed in order to extract the banknotes in the second withdrawal port 15. For this reason, it takes time to withdraw the banknote from the second withdrawal port 15.

これに対して、第１の実施形態に係る紙幣処理装置１０では、詳細は後述するが、第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取った後に、第１出金口１４の第１シャッタ１６を閉める動作と、第２出金口１５の第２シャッタ１７を開く動作とを共に行う。これにより、比較例とは異なり、第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るのに第１シャッタ１６が閉まるのを待つ必要が無いので、第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を短縮することができる。   On the other hand, in the banknote processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, as will be described in detail later, the first shutter 16 of the first withdrawal port 14 is closed after the banknotes of the first withdrawal port 14 are extracted. Both the operation and the operation of opening the second shutter 17 of the second withdrawal port 15 are performed. As a result, unlike the comparative example, there is no need to wait for the first shutter 16 to be closed in order to remove the banknote from the second withdrawal port 15, so the second withdrawal after the banknote from the first withdrawal port 14 is removed. The time until the banknote 15 is removed can be shortened.

（１−４．紙幣処理装置の機能構成例）
図４を参照しながら、紙幣処理装置１０の機能構成例について説明する。図４は、紙幣処理装置１０の機能構成例を示すブロック図である。図４に示すように、紙幣処理装置１０は、制御部７０と、記憶部８０と、検知部８２とを備える。 (1-4. Functional Configuration Example of Banknote Processing Device)
A functional configuration example of the banknote handling apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the banknote handling apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the banknote handling apparatus 10 includes a control unit 70, a storage unit 80, and a detection unit 82.

制御部７０は、紙幣処理装置１０の動作全般を制御する。具体的には、制御部７０は、上述した入金処理、出金処理、補充処理、回収処理等の基本処理を制御する。例えば、制御部７０は、搬送部２４による紙幣の搬送と、第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７の開閉動作とを制御する。   The control unit 70 controls the overall operation of the banknote handling apparatus 10. Specifically, the control unit 70 controls basic processes such as the above-described deposit process, withdrawal process, replenishment process, and recovery process. For example, the control unit 70 controls the conveyance of banknotes by the conveyance unit 24 and the opening / closing operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17.

ところで、第１の実施形態において、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣を搬送する際に、第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７を以下のように制御する。ここでは、第１シャッタ１６が、移動することにより第１出金口１４を開閉可能な第１開閉部材に該当し、第２シャッタ１７が、移動することにより第２出金口１５を開閉可能な第２開閉部材に該当するものとする。   By the way, in 1st Embodiment, the control part 70 controls the 1st shutter 16 and the 2nd shutter 17 as follows, when conveying a banknote to the 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15. To do. Here, the first shutter 16 corresponds to a first opening / closing member capable of opening / closing the first withdrawal port 14 by moving, and the second withdrawal port 15 can be opened / closed by moving the second shutter 17. It corresponds to a second opening / closing member.

制御部７０は、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣が搬送された際に、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５の一方の出金口（ここでは、第１出金口１４とする）の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、第１出金口１４の第１シャッタ１６を閉じる動作、及び他方の出金口（第２出金口１５）の第２シャッタ１７を開ける動作を共に行う。このように第１シャッタ１６を閉じる動作と第２シャッタ１７を開ける動作を共に行うことで、第１シャッタ１６が閉じるのを待たずに、第２シャッタ１７が開くことになる。このため、職員が第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を短縮できる。   When the banknote is transported to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15, the control unit 70, when one of the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 (here, When the withdrawal of the bill at the first withdrawal port 14 is detected, the operation of closing the first shutter 16 of the first withdrawal port 14 and the second of the other withdrawal port (second withdrawal port 15). 2 The operation of opening the shutter 17 is performed together. By performing both the operation of closing the first shutter 16 and the operation of opening the second shutter 17 in this way, the second shutter 17 is opened without waiting for the first shutter 16 to close. For this reason, it is possible to shorten the time from when the staff member pulls out the banknote in the first withdrawal port 14 to when the banknote in the second withdrawal port 15 is withdrawn.

また、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取りが検知された際の第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の開閉タイミングとして、第１シャッタ１６を閉め始めると同時に、第２シャッタ１７を開け始めても良い。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４の抜き取り後に、直ぐに第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。従って、第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を、より短縮できる。   Further, the control unit 70 starts closing the first shutter 16 at the same time as the opening and closing timing of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 when the withdrawal of the bill from the first withdrawal port 14 is detected. You may start opening 17. Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 immediately after the 1st withdrawal port 14 is extracted. Therefore, it is possible to further shorten the time from when the banknote of the first withdrawal port 14 is extracted until the banknote of the second withdrawal port 15 is extracted.

なお、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取りが検知された際の第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の開閉タイミングは、上記に限定されない。例えば、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、第１シャッタ１６を閉める途中で、第２シャッタ１７を開け始めても良い。かかる場合にも、第１シャッタ１６が閉じるのを待たずに、第２シャッタ１７が開くことになるので、職員が第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を短縮できる。また、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、第１シャッタ１６を閉め終わると同時に、第２シャッタ１７を開け始めても良い。   In addition, the opening / closing timing of the 1st shutter 16 and the 2nd shutter 17 at the time of detecting extraction of the banknote of the 1st payment opening | mouth 14 is not limited above. For example, the control unit 70 may start opening the second shutter 17 in the middle of closing the first shutter 16 when the withdrawal of the banknote from the first withdrawal port 14 is detected. Even in such a case, the second shutter 17 is opened without waiting for the first shutter 16 to close. Therefore, the banknote in the second withdrawal port 15 after the staff member has taken out the bills in the first withdrawal port 14. Can be shortened. Further, the control unit 70 may start opening the second shutter 17 at the same time as closing the first shutter 16 when the withdrawal of the banknote from the first withdrawal port 14 is detected.

また、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に異なる金種の紙幣が搬送された場合には、紙幣の搬送が完了すると、第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７の一方を開ける。これにより、職員は異なる金種の紙幣を異なるタイミングで出金口から抜き取ることになるので、抜き取った異なる金種の紙幣が混在することを防止できる。   In addition, when banknotes of different denominations are conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15, the control unit 70 completes the conveyance of the banknotes, and then the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17. Open one of the sides. Thereby, since the staff will withdraw banknotes of different denominations from the withdrawal port at different timings, it is possible to prevent the banknotes of different denominations that have been extracted from being mixed.

また、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に同じ金種の紙幣が搬送された場合には、紙幣の搬送が完了すると、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７を共に開ける。例えば、制御部７０は、紙幣の搬送が完了すると、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７を同時に開ける。同じ金種の紙幣の場合には、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５の紙幣を混ぜても職員等が誤認する恐れが無い。一方で、２つのシャッタを共に開けることで、搬送が完了したことを職員に知覚させることができる。   Moreover, when the banknote of the same denomination is conveyed by the 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15, the control part 70 will complete | finish the conveyance of a banknote, and the 1st shutter 16 and the 2nd shutter 17 will be carried out. Open together. For example, the controller 70 opens the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 at the same time when the conveyance of banknotes is completed. In the case of banknotes of the same denomination, even if the banknotes of the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 are mixed, there is no fear that the staff will misidentify. On the other hand, by opening the two shutters together, the staff can perceive that the conveyance has been completed.

記憶部８０は、紙幣処理装置１０が動作するためのプログラム等を記憶する。また、記憶部８０は、紙幣認識部２０の鑑別結果を記憶しうる。   The memory | storage part 80 memorize | stores the program etc. for the banknote processing apparatus 10 to operate | move. Moreover, the memory | storage part 80 can memorize | store the discrimination result of the banknote recognition part 20. FIG.

検知部８２は、例えば光学センサ等を有し、様々な状態を検知する。例えば、検知部８２は、第１出金口１４や第２出金口１５の紙幣の集積状態（集積枚数や、紙幣が抜き取られたか否か）を検知する。また、検知部８２は、紙幣の搬送状態を検知しうる。   The detection unit 82 includes, for example, an optical sensor and detects various states. For example, the detection unit 82 detects the banknote stacking state (the number of stacked banknotes or whether or not banknotes have been extracted) at the first and second withdrawal ports 14 and 15. Moreover, the detection part 82 can detect the conveyance state of a banknote.

（１−５．計数処理例）
図５を参照しながら、第１の実施形態に係る計数処理時の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７のシャッタ開閉動作例について説明する。図５は、第１の実施形態に係る計数処理時におけるシャッタ開閉動作例を示すフローチャートである。 (1-5. Counting processing example)
With reference to FIG. 5, an example of the shutter opening / closing operation of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 during the counting process according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a shutter opening / closing operation at the time of the counting process according to the first embodiment.

図５のフローチャートは、例えば制御部７０のＣＰＵが、ＲＯＭに記憶されているプログラムを実行することにより、実現される。なお、実行されるプログラムは、ＣＤ（Ｃｏｍｐａｃｔ Ｄｉｓｋ）、ＤＶＤ（Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌ Ｖｅｒｓａｔｉｌｅ Ｄｉｓｋ）、メモリカード等の記録媒体に記憶されても良く、インターネットを介してサーバ等からダウンロードされても良い。   The flowchart in FIG. 5 is realized, for example, when the CPU of the control unit 70 executes a program stored in the ROM. The program to be executed may be stored in a recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), or a memory card, or may be downloaded from a server or the like via the Internet.

図５のフローチャートは、出金紙幣の計数処理が開始されたところから始まる。例えば、制御部７０は、紙幣カセット３０Ａ〜３０Ｄから紙幣を分離させて紙幣認識部２０に搬送し、紙幣認識部２０の鑑別結果に基づいて紙幣を第１出金口１４又は第２出金口１５に搬送する。例えば、制御部７０は、第１金種の紙幣を第１出金口１４に搬送し、第２金種の紙幣を第２出金口１５に搬送する。その後、制御部７０は、計数処理を停止させる要因（例えば、全ての出金紙幣の出金口への搬送が完了した場合）を検知すると、計数処理を停止する（ステップＳ１０２）。   The flowchart of FIG. 5 starts from the time when the withdrawal bill counting process is started. For example, the control unit 70 separates the banknotes from the banknote cassettes 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> D and conveys the banknotes to the banknote recognition unit 20, and the banknotes are transferred to the first withdrawal port 14 or the second withdrawal port based on the discrimination result of the bill recognition unit 20. 15 to transport. For example, the control unit 70 conveys the first denomination banknote to the first withdrawal port 14 and conveys the second denomination banknote to the second withdrawal port 15. Thereafter, the control unit 70 stops the counting process when detecting a factor for stopping the counting process (for example, when the conveyance of all the dispensing banknotes to the dispensing port is completed) (step S102).

次に、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に搬送された紙幣が同じ金種であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１０４）。そして、ステップＳ１０４で異なる金種である場合には（Ｎｏ）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７のうちの一方のシャッタ（ここでは、第１シャッタ１６）を開ける（ステップＳ１０６）。具体的には、職員が操作部で開けるシャッタとして第１シャッタ１６を選択することで、第１シャッタ１６のみが開く。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４に集積された紙幣を抜き取ることができる。   Next, the control unit 70 determines whether or not the bills conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 are the same denomination (step S104). If the denomination is different in Step S104 (No), the control unit 70 opens one of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 (here, the first shutter 16) (Step S104). S106). Specifically, when the staff selects the first shutter 16 as the shutter that can be opened by the operation unit, only the first shutter 16 is opened. Thereby, the staff can extract the banknotes accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14.

その後、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ１０８）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の動作を並行して処理する。すなわち、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を閉める（ステップＳ１１０）。また、制御部７０は、第２出金口１５に紙幣が集積されているか否かを判定し（ステップＳ１１２）、ステップＳ１１２で第２出金口１５に紙幣が集積されていると（Ｙｅｓ）、第２シャッタ１７を開ける（ステップＳ１１４）。   Thereafter, when it is detected that the banknotes from the first withdrawal port 14 have been extracted (step S108), the control unit 70 processes the operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 in parallel. That is, the control unit 70 closes the first shutter 16 (step S110). Moreover, the control part 70 determines whether the banknote is accumulate | stored in the 2nd withdrawal port 15 (step S112), and when the banknote is accumulated in the 2nd withdrawal port 15 by step S112 (Yes). Then, the second shutter 17 is opened (step S114).

ここで、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６が閉め始めると同時に、第２シャッタ１７を開け始める。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４の第１金種の紙幣を抜き取った後すぐに、第２出金口１５の第２金種の紙幣を抜き取れる。その後、第２出金口１５の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ１１６）、制御部７０は、第２シャッタ１７を閉める（ステップＳ１１８）。なお、上記では、第１シャッタ１６が閉め始めると同時に第２シャッタ１７が開き始めることとしたが、これに限定されず、第１シャッタ１６が閉まる途中で第２シャッタ１７が開き始めても良く、又は第１シャッタ１６が閉め終わると同時に第２シャッタ１７が開き始めても良い。   Here, the control unit 70 starts opening the second shutter 17 at the same time as the first shutter 16 starts to close. Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the second denomination of the second withdrawal port 15 immediately after the banknote of the first denomination of the first withdrawal port 14 is extracted. Then, if it detects that the banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 was extracted (step S116), the control part 70 will close the 2nd shutter 17 (step S118). In the above description, the second shutter 17 starts to open simultaneously with the first shutter 16 starting to close. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second shutter 17 may start to open while the first shutter 16 is closing. Alternatively, the second shutter 17 may begin to open simultaneously with the first shutter 16 being closed.

ステップＳ１０４で第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に搬送された紙幣が同じ金種である場合には（Ｙｅｓ）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の動作を並行して処理する。すなわち、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に紙幣が集積されているかを判定し（ステップＳ１３０、Ｓ１３８）、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に紙幣が集積されている場合には、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７を同時に開ける（ステップＳ１３２、ステップＳ１４０）。   When the banknotes conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 in step S104 are the same denomination (Yes), the control unit 70 operates the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17. Are processed in parallel. That is, the control unit 70 determines whether or not banknotes are accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 (steps S130 and S138), and the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 are determined. When banknotes are stacked on the first shutter 16, the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 are opened simultaneously (steps S132 and S140).

このように第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７を同時に開けることにより、第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取る際に第１シャッタが閉まるのを待つ必要がないので、第２出金口１５に搬送された紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を短縮できる。   By simultaneously opening the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 in this way, there is no need to wait for the first shutter to close when the banknotes in the second withdrawal port 15 are withdrawn. It is possible to shorten the time until the conveyed banknotes are extracted.

その後、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ１３４）、第１シャッタ１６を閉める（ステップＳ１３６）。また、制御部７０は、第２出金口１５の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ１４２）、第２シャッタ１７を閉める（ステップＳ１４４）。   Thereafter, when the control unit 70 detects that the banknote of the first withdrawal port 14 has been extracted (step S134), the control unit 70 closes the first shutter 16 (step S136). Moreover, if the control part 70 detects that the banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 was extracted (step S142), the 2nd shutter 17 will be closed (step S144).

なお、上記では、出金処理における計数処理計時の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７のシャッタ開閉動作について説明したが、これに限定されない。例えば、回収処理（出金口回収）の際にも第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣が搬送されるので、上述したシャッタ開閉動作を適用できる。   In the above description, the shutter opening / closing operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 during counting processing in the dispensing process have been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, since the banknotes are conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 during the collection process (withdrawal port collection), the above-described shutter opening / closing operation can be applied.

（１−６．第１の実施形態の有効性）
上述した第１の実施形態によれば、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣が搬送された際に、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５の一方の出金口（ここでは、第１出金口１４とする）の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、第１出金口１４の第１シャッタ１６を閉じる動作、及び他方の出金口（第２出金口１５）の第２シャッタ１７を開ける動作を共に行う。 (1-6. Effectiveness of the first embodiment)
According to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, when a banknote is conveyed by the 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15, one withdrawal of the 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15 is carried out. When it is detected that a bill has been withdrawn from the bill (here, referred to as the first withdrawal port 14), the operation of closing the first shutter 16 of the first withdrawal port 14 and the other withdrawal port (second withdrawal port) are detected. The operation of opening the second shutter 17 of the base 15) is performed together.

このように第１シャッタ１６を閉じる動作と第２シャッタ１７を開ける動作を共に行うことで、第１シャッタ１６が閉じるのを待たずに、第２シャッタ１７が開くことになる。このため、職員が第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を短縮できるので、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に搬送された紙幣を効率的に抜き取ることができる。   By performing both the operation of closing the first shutter 16 and the operation of opening the second shutter 17 in this way, the second shutter 17 is opened without waiting for the first shutter 16 to close. For this reason, since it is possible to shorten the time from when the staff withdraws the banknotes at the first withdrawal port 14 to when the banknotes at the second withdrawal port 15 are withdrawn, it is conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15. It is possible to efficiently extract the bills that have been made.

＜２．第２の実施形態＞
第１の実施形態では、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、第１シャッタ１６を閉じると共に第２シャッタ１７を開けていたが、第２の実施形態では、第１シャッタ１６の開閉状態に関わらず第２シャッタ１７を開ける。 <2. Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, when the withdrawal of the bill from the first withdrawal port 14 is detected, the first shutter 16 is closed and the second shutter 17 is opened. However, in the second embodiment, the first shutter is opened. The second shutter 17 is opened regardless of the open / closed state of 16.

すなわち、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣が搬送された際に、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５の一方の出金口（ここでは、第１出金口１４とする）の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、他方の出金口（第２出金口１５）の第２シャッタ１７を開ける動作を行う。これにより、第１出金口１４の第１シャッタ１６の開閉状態に関係無く、第１出金口１４からの紙幣の抜き取り後に第２シャッタ１７が開くことになる。このため、職員が第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を短縮できる。   That is, when the banknote is conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15, the control unit 70 selects one withdrawal port (here, the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15). Then, when the withdrawal of the bill at the first withdrawal port 14 is detected, an operation of opening the second shutter 17 of the other withdrawal port (second withdrawal port 15) is performed. Accordingly, the second shutter 17 is opened after the banknote is extracted from the first withdrawal port 14 regardless of the open / close state of the first shutter 16 of the first withdrawal port 14. For this reason, it is possible to shorten the time from when the staff member pulls out the banknote in the first withdrawal port 14 to when the banknote in the second withdrawal port 15 is withdrawn.

より具体的には、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取りが検知されると、第１シャッタ１６を開いた状態で、第２シャッタ１７を開ける。これにより、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取り直後に第２シャッタ１７が開くことになり、職員が第１出金口１４の紙幣を抜き取ってから第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取るまでの時間を一層短縮できる。   More specifically, the control unit 70 opens the second shutter 17 in a state where the first shutter 16 is opened when the withdrawal of the banknote from the first withdrawal port 14 is detected. Thereby, the 2nd shutter 17 will open immediately after extraction of the banknote of the 1st withdrawal port 14, and until a staff extracts the banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 after extracting the banknote of the 1st withdrawal port 14. This time can be further shortened.

図６を参照しながら、第２の実施形態に係る計数処理時の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７のシャッタ開閉動作例について説明する。図６は、第２の実施形態に係る計数処理時におけるシャッタ開閉動作例を示すフローチャートである。   An example of the shutter opening / closing operation of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 during the counting process according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a shutter opening / closing operation during the counting process according to the second embodiment.

図６のフローチャートも、出金紙幣の計数処理中に計数処理を停止する要因（例えば、全ての出金紙幣の出金口への搬送が完了した場合）を検知したところから開始される。計数処理の停止要因を検知すると、制御部７０は、計数処理を停止する（ステップＳ２０２）。ここで、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５には、紙幣が集積されている。   The flowchart of FIG. 6 is also started when a factor for stopping the counting process during the counting process of the withdrawal banknotes (for example, when the conveyance of all the withdrawal banknotes to the withdrawal port is completed) is detected. When detecting the stop factor of the counting process, the control unit 70 stops the counting process (step S202). Here, banknotes are accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15.

次に、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７のうちの一方のシャッタ（ここでは、第１シャッタ１６）を開ける（ステップＳ２０４）。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４に集積された第１金種の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。そして、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ２０６）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を閉めずに、第２シャッタ１７を開ける（ステップＳ２０８）。これにより、職員は、第２出金口１５に集積された第２金種の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。   Next, the control unit 70 opens one of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 (here, the first shutter 16) (step S204). Thereby, the staff can withdraw the banknotes of the first denomination accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14. Then, when it is detected that the banknote has been extracted from the first withdrawal port 14 (step S206), the control unit 70 opens the second shutter 17 without closing the first shutter 16 (step S208). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknotes of the second denomination accumulated in the second withdrawal port 15.

その後、制御部７０は、第２出金口１５の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ２１０）、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７を閉める（ステップＳ２１２）。ここで、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７を同時に閉めても良いし、いずれか一方のシャッタを先に閉めた後に、他方のシャッタを後に閉めても良い。   Thereafter, when the control unit 70 detects that the banknote in the second withdrawal port 15 has been extracted (step S210), the control unit 70 closes the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 (step S212). Here, the control unit 70 may close the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 simultaneously, or may close one of the shutters first and then close the other shutter.

上述した第２の実施形態によれば、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られると、第１シャッタ１６が開いた状態で第２シャッタ１７が開くので、職員は、第１シャッタ１６が閉まるのを待たずに、第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。なお、上記では、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に搬送される紙幣の金種が異なることとしたが、これに限定されず、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５に同じ金種の紙幣が搬送されることとしても良い。   According to the second embodiment described above, when the banknote in the first withdrawal port 14 is withdrawn, the second shutter 17 is opened while the first shutter 16 is open, so that the staff member closes the first shutter 16. The banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 can be extracted without waiting. In the above description, the denominations of the bills conveyed to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 are different from each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port. It is good also as the banknote of the same denomination being conveyed to the opening | mouth 15.

＜３．第３の実施形態＞
第１の実施形態では、第１出金口１４及び第２出金口１５に紙幣を搬送する際に、２つの出金口への紙幣の搬送が完了した後に、一方のシャッタが開いていた。 <3. Third Embodiment>
In 1st Embodiment, when conveying a banknote to the 1st withdrawal opening 14 and the 2nd withdrawal opening 15, after the conveyance of the banknote to two withdrawal openings was completed, one shutter was opened. .

これに対して、第３の実施形態では、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５のうちの先に紙幣の搬送が完了した出金口（ここでは、第１出金口１４とする）の第１シャッタ１６を先に開け、他の出金口（第２出金口１５）への紙幣の搬送を続ける。その後、第２出金口１５への紙幣の搬送が完了すると、第２シャッタ１７が開く。   On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the withdrawal port (here, the first withdrawal port 14 and the first withdrawal port 14 in which the conveyance of banknotes has been completed is completed. The first shutter 16 is opened first, and the banknotes are continuously conveyed to another withdrawal port (second withdrawal port 15). Thereafter, when the conveyance of the banknote to the second withdrawal port 15 is completed, the second shutter 17 is opened.

これにより、先に紙幣の搬送が完了した第１出金口１４の紙幣を直ぐに職員は抜き取ることができる。また、第２出金口１５への紙幣の搬送が完了した際に、第１出金口１４の紙幣の抜き取られていた場合には、第２シャッタ１７が直ぐに開くので、第２出金口１５の紙幣を直ぐに抜き取ることもできる。   Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the 1st withdrawal port 14 for which conveyance of the banknote was completed previously immediately. In addition, when the banknotes are transported to the second withdrawal port 15, the second shutter 17 opens immediately if the banknotes are removed from the first withdrawal port 14. Fifteen bills can be extracted immediately.

図７を参照しながら、第３の実施形態に係る計数処理時の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７のシャッタ開閉動作例について説明する。図７は、第３の実施形態に係る計数処理時におけるシャッタ開閉動作例を示すフローチャートである。   With reference to FIG. 7, an example of shutter opening / closing operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 during the counting process according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the shutter opening / closing operation during the counting process according to the third embodiment.

図７のフローチャートも、出金紙幣の計数処理が開始されたところから始まる。そして、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５のうちの一方の出金口（ここでは、第１出金口１４）への第１金種の出金紙幣の搬送を開始する（ステップＳ３０２）。   The flowchart of FIG. 7 also starts from the time when the withdrawal bill counting process is started. And the control part 70 of the payment banknote of the 1st denomination to one withdrawal opening (here 1st withdrawal opening 14) of the 1st withdrawal opening 14 and the 2nd withdrawal opening 15 is carried out. The conveyance is started (step S302).

その後、第１出金口１４に出金すべき紙幣が搬送されると、制御部７０は、第１出金口１４への紙幣の搬送を終了する（ステップＳ３０４）。そして、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の動作を並行して処理する。すなわち、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を開ける（ステップＳ３０６）。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４の第１金種の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。その後、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ３０８）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を閉める（ステップＳ３１０）。   Then, if the banknote which should be withdrawn is conveyed to the 1st withdrawal port 14, the control part 70 will complete | finish the conveyance of the banknote to the 1st withdrawal port 14 (step S304). Then, the control unit 70 processes the operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 in parallel. That is, the control unit 70 opens the first shutter 16 (step S306). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the 1st denomination of the 1st withdrawal port 14. Then, if it detects that the banknote of the 1st payment port 14 was extracted (step S308), the control part 70 will close the 1st shutter 16 (step S310).

第１シャッタ１６の開閉動作の際に、制御部７０は、第２出金口１５に搬送すべき紙幣（第２金種の紙幣）が残っているか否かを判定し（ステップＳ３１２）、ステップＳ３１２で搬送すべき紙幣が残っている場合には（Ｙｅｓ）、第２出金口１５への紙幣の搬送を開始する（ステップＳ３１４）。その後、第２出金口１５に出金すべき紙幣が搬送されると、制御部７０は、第２出金口１５への紙幣の搬送を終了し（ステップＳ３１６）、第２シャッタ１７を開ける（ステップＳ３１８）。これにより、職員は、第２出金口１５の第２金種の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。その後、第２出金口１５の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ３２０）、制御部７０は、第２シャッタ１７を閉める（ステップＳ３２２）。   During the opening / closing operation of the first shutter 16, the control unit 70 determines whether or not banknotes (banknotes of the second denomination) to be transported remain in the second withdrawal port 15 (step S312). When the banknote which should be conveyed by S312 remains (Yes), conveyance of the banknote to the 2nd withdrawal port 15 is started (step S314). Thereafter, when the banknote to be withdrawn is transported to the second withdrawal port 15, the control unit 70 ends the transport of the banknote to the second withdrawal port 15 (step S 316) and opens the second shutter 17. (Step S318). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the second denomination of the second withdrawal port 15. Then, if it detects that the banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 was extracted (step S320), the control part 70 will close the 2nd shutter 17 (step S322).

＜４．第４の実施形態＞
第１の実施形態では、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５への紙幣の搬送が完了した後で、職員が第１シャッタ１６を第２シャッタ１７のいずれかを選択して開けて、紙幣を抜き取っている。 <4. Fourth Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, after the conveyance of the banknotes to the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15 is completed, the staff opens the first shutter 16 by selecting one of the second shutters 17. The banknotes are being pulled out.

これに対して、第４の実施形態では、予め第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７のうちの先に開けるシャッタを設定できるようになっている。そして、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５への紙幣の搬送が完了（例えば、計数処理の停止）した後に、設定されたシャッタが先に開く。これにより、職員は、予め設定した順番で第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５の紙幣を抜き取ることができる。   On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, it is possible to set in advance a shutter that is opened first of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17. And after conveyance of the banknote to the 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15 is completed (for example, stop of counting processing), the set shutter opens first. Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the 1st withdrawal port 14 and the 2nd withdrawal port 15 in the order set up beforehand.

図８を参照しながら、第４の実施形態に係る計数処理時の第１シャッタ１６及び第２シャッタ１７のシャッタ開閉動作例について説明する。図８は、第４の実施形態に係る計数処理時におけるシャッタ開閉動作例を示すフローチャートである。   With reference to FIG. 8, an example of shutter opening / closing operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 during the counting process according to the fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a shutter opening / closing operation during the counting process according to the fourth embodiment.

図８のフローチャートは、職員が、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７のうち先に開けるシャッタを設定したところから開始される（ステップＳ４０２）。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４と第２出金口１５のうちの所望の出金口に集積された紙幣を先に取り出すことができる。そして、制御部７０は、計数処理を開始する（ステップＳ４０４）。   The flowchart of FIG. 8 is started when the staff sets a shutter to be opened first of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 (step S402). Thereby, the staff can take out first the banknotes accumulated in the desired withdrawal port of the first withdrawal port 14 and the second withdrawal port 15. And the control part 70 starts a count process (step S404).

その後、制御部７０は、計数処理を停止させる要因（例えば、全ての出金紙幣の出金口への搬送が完了した場合）を検知すると、計数処理を停止する（ステップＳ４０６）。次に、制御部７０は、ステップＳ４０２で職員が設定したシャッタを判定する（ステップＳ４０８）。   Thereafter, the control unit 70 stops the counting process when detecting a factor for stopping the counting process (for example, when the conveyance of all the dispensing banknotes to the dispensing port is completed) (step S406). Next, the control unit 70 determines the shutter set by the staff in step S402 (step S408).

そして、ステップＳ４０８で先に開けるシャッタが第１シャッタ１６である場合には、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を開ける（ステップＳ４１０）。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４に集積された紙幣を先に抜き取ることができる。その後、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ４１２）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の動作を並行して処理する。   If the first shutter 16 is the first shutter that is opened in step S408, the control unit 70 opens the first shutter 16 (step S410). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknotes accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 first. Thereafter, when it is detected that the banknotes from the first withdrawal port 14 have been extracted (step S412), the control unit 70 processes the operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 in parallel.

具体的には、第２出金口１５に紙幣が集積されていると（ステップＳ４１６：Ｙｅｓ）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を閉め始めると同時に、第２シャッタ１７を開け始める（ステップＳ４１４、Ｓ４１８）。これにより、職員は、第１出金口１４の第１金種の紙幣を抜き取った後すぐに、第２出金口１５の第２金種の紙幣を抜き取れる。その後、第２出金口１５の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ４２０）、制御部７０は、第２シャッタ１７を閉める（ステップＳ４２２）。   Specifically, when banknotes are accumulated in the second withdrawal port 15 (step S416: Yes), the control unit 70 starts opening the second shutter 17 at the same time as starting to close the first shutter 16 (step S416). S414, S418). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknote of the second denomination of the second withdrawal port 15 immediately after the banknote of the first denomination of the first withdrawal port 14 is extracted. Then, if it detects that the banknote of the 2nd withdrawal port 15 was extracted (step S420), the control part 70 will close the 2nd shutter 17 (step S422).

ステップＳ４０８で先に開けるシャッタが第２シャッタ１７である場合には、制御部７０は、第２シャッタ１７を開ける（ステップＳ４３０）。これにより、職員は、第２出金口１５に集積された紙幣を先に抜き取ることができる。その後、第２出金口１５の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ４３２）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６と第２シャッタ１７の動作を並行して処理する。   If the first shutter opened in step S408 is the second shutter 17, the control unit 70 opens the second shutter 17 (step S430). Thereby, the staff can extract the banknotes accumulated in the second withdrawal port 15 first. Thereafter, when it is detected that the banknote of the second withdrawal port 15 has been extracted (step S432), the control unit 70 processes the operations of the first shutter 16 and the second shutter 17 in parallel.

具体的には、第１出金口１４に紙幣が集積されていると（ステップＳ４３６：Ｙｅｓ）、制御部７０は、第２シャッタ１７を閉め始めると同時に、第１シャッタ１６を開け始める（ステップＳ４３４、Ｓ４３８）。これにより、職員は、第２出金口１５の第２金種の紙幣を抜き取った後すぐに、第１出金口１４の第１金種の紙幣を抜き取れる。その後、第１出金口１４の紙幣が抜き取られたことを検知すると（ステップＳ４４０）、制御部７０は、第１シャッタ１６を閉める（ステップＳ４４２）。   Specifically, when banknotes are accumulated in the first withdrawal port 14 (step S436: Yes), the control unit 70 starts opening the first shutter 16 at the same time as starting to close the second shutter 17 (step S436). S434, S438). As a result, the staff can extract the first denomination banknote from the first withdrawal port 14 immediately after the second denomination banknote from the second withdrawal port 15 is extracted. Then, if it detects that the banknote of the 1st payment port 14 was extracted (step S440), the control part 70 will close the 1st shutter 16 (step S442).
