Description
本発明は、店舗等において売上金等の貨幣の入金処理、釣銭等の貨幣の出金処理、および回収業務を行う収集業者へ売上金等の貨幣を引き渡す引渡処理等を行う貨幣処理機および貨幣処理方法に関する。なお、本明細書における「貨幣」は紙幣であっても硬貨であってもよい。
The present invention relates to a money processing machine and a money for performing processing for depositing money such as sales, withdrawal of money such as change, and delivery processing for delivering money such as sales to a collector who performs collection operations in a store or the like. It relates to the processing method. The “money” in this specification may be a banknote or a coin.
従来より、店舗等において売上金等の貨幣の入金処理、釣銭等の貨幣の出金処理、および回収業務を行う収集業者へ売上金等の貨幣を引き渡す引渡処理等を行う貨幣処理機が知られている。このような貨幣処理機は、貨幣の収納を行う貨幣収納部と、筐体の外部から内部に取り込まれた貨幣を一時的に収納するとともに、この収納された貨幣または筐体の外部から内部に取り込まれた貨幣を貨幣収納部に送ったり筐体の外部に返却したりする貨幣リサイクル処理機構と、を備えている。貨幣リサイクル処理機構に収納された貨幣(上部の貨幣)と、貨幣収納部に収納された貨幣(下部の貨幣)の管理権限は区別されており、前者の管理権限は貨幣処理機に対して入金処理や出金処理を行う店舗側にあり、後者の管理権限は貨幣処理機から紙幣の回収を行う収集特定者側にある。よって、貨幣処理機の上部の貨幣に対する入金処理、出金処理、引渡処理等の操作や、上部の貨幣の入出金情報や、収納されている貨幣の金種別枚数データまたは合計金額もしくは金種別金額のデータである在高データへのアクセスは店舗側の権限のある操作者のみが行うことができ、一方、貨幣処理機の下部の貨幣の回収は収集業者の収集特定者のみが行うことができる。このような貨幣処理機としては、例えば特許文献1や特許文献2に開示されるものが知られている。
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a money processing machine has been known that performs deposit processing of money such as sales, withdrawal processing of money such as change, and delivery processing of delivering money such as sales to a collector who performs collection operations in stores, etc. ing. Such a money handling machine temporarily stores a money storage unit for storing money, and money taken into the inside from the outside of the housing, and also from inside the outside of the stored money or the housing. A money recycling processing mechanism for sending the taken money to the money storage unit or returning it to the outside of the housing. Management authority of money stored in the money recycling processing mechanism (upper money) and money stored in the money storage part (lower money) is distinguished. The former management authority is credited to the money processing machine. The management authority of the latter is on the side of the collecting person who collects banknotes from the money handling machine. Therefore, operations such as deposit processing, withdrawal processing, delivery processing, etc. for the money on the upper part of the money handling machine, deposit / withdrawal information on the upper money, data on the number of money types stored, total amount or money amount Only the operator who has authority on the store side can access the inventory data that is the data of the store, while the collection of money at the bottom of the money handling machine can be performed only by the collection specific person of the collector . As such a money handling machine, for example, those disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are known.
特許文献1には、入金された現金を、店舗の釣銭等として出金される店舗準備金と、金融機関への送金対象となり出金されることのない店舗売上金とを区別して管理する店舗用入出金装置が開示されている。このような店舗用入出金装置において、当該店舗用入出金装置に入金された現金のうち、店舗売上金は警備会社等の回収業者によって回収されるようになっている。
Patent Document 1 discloses a store that manages the deposited cash separately from store reserves that are withdrawn as changes in the store and store sales that are to be repatriated to financial institutions and not withdrawn. A deposit / withdrawal device is disclosed. In such a deposit / withdrawal device for stores, out of the cash deposited in the deposit / withdrawal device for stores, the store sales are collected by a collection company such as a security company.
特許文献1に開示される店舗用入出金装置では、入金された現金はまず店舗準備金としてリサイクル収納部に収納される。そして、店舗準備金を収納しているリサイクル収納部から店舗売上金を収納しているカセット収納部へ貨幣を搬送する引渡処理が行われると、店舗準備金は店舗売上金へと管理区分が変更される。特許文献1に開示される店舗用入出金装置は、回収業者のセンターに通信回線を介して接続されており、店舗売上金に係るデータを店舗用入出金装置からセンターに送信するようになっている。
In the deposit / withdrawal device for stores disclosed in Patent Document 1, the deposited cash is first stored in the recycling storage unit as store reserves. Then, when delivery processing is performed to transport money from the recycling storage section that stores store reserves to the cassette storage section that stores store sales proceeds, the management classification of store reserves changes to store sales Is done. The store deposit / withdrawal device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is connected to the center of a collection company via a communication line, and data related to store sales is transmitted from the store deposit / withdrawal device to the center. Yes.
また、特許文献2には、現金を投入するための現金入金口と、釣銭のための現金を収納する釣銭収納庫と、売上金を収納する現金金庫とを備えた現金管理装置が開示されている。
Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a cash management device including a cash deposit port for inputting cash, a change storage for storing cash for change, and a cash safe for storing sales. Yes.
特許文献2に開示される現金管理装置においては、釣銭収納庫に収納する釣銭金種毎の保管基準額が予め設定されている。そして、レジスターから回収した現金を現金入金口に投入したときに、釣銭収納庫へは釣銭金種別に保管基準額の現金を収納し、現金金庫へは保管基準額を超えた現金を収納し、釣銭をリサイクル使用するようになっている。現金金庫に収納された現金は、集配担当者により回収される。
In the cash management device disclosed in Patent Document 2, a storage reference amount for each change denomination stored in the change storage is preset. And when the cash collected from the register is put into the cash deposit port, the change storage is stored with the cash of the storage standard amount according to the change money type, and the cash safe is stored with the cash exceeding the storage reference amount, It is designed to recycle change. The cash stored in the cash safe is collected by a person in charge of collection and delivery.
特許文献1に開示される店舗用入出金装置では、入金された現金を引渡処理せずにリサイクル収納部に収納することにより店舗準備金の不足が発生しにくくなる。しかしながら、このような店舗用入出金装置では、リサイクル収納部が満杯になると入金を行うことができなくなるので、管理者等が引渡処理を行う必要がある。また、引渡処理における貨幣の引渡量が多すぎると、釣銭としての貨幣を出金しようとしたときに店舗準備金が不足する場合がある。
In the deposit / withdrawal device for stores disclosed in Patent Document 1, it becomes difficult for a shortage of store reserves to occur by storing the deposited cash in the recycling storage unit without performing the delivery process. However, in such a store deposit / withdrawal device, it becomes impossible to deposit when the recycle storage unit is full, so an administrator or the like needs to perform a delivery process. Moreover, if the amount of money delivered in the delivery process is too large, the store reserve may be insufficient when trying to withdraw money as change.
また、特許文献2に開示される現金管理装置では、釣銭収納庫の基準額を超える現金を現金金庫へ搬送して引き渡すため、釣銭不足が発生しにくく、釣銭 収納庫が満杯となり入金ができなくなることはない。しかしながら、1回の取引で入金された現金が、釣銭収納庫に収納されたり現金金庫に収納されたりし、現金金庫に収納された現金は出金できないため、入金された現金の返却に対応できないという問題がある。また、現金管理装置への入金中に不具合等で搬送路に現金が残った状態で装置が停止したときには、この現金が本来釣銭収納庫に収納されるべきものか、現金金庫に収納されるべきものかを判断することが難しいという問題がある。
Further, in the cash management device disclosed in Patent Document 2, since cash exceeding the reference amount of the change storage is transported to the cash safe and delivered, it is difficult for change to occur, and the change storage is full and cannot be deposited. There is nothing. However, the cash deposited in a single transaction is stored in a change store or stored in a cash safe, and the cash stored in the cash safe cannot be withdrawn. There is a problem. In addition, when the device stops with cash remaining in the transport path due to a malfunction while depositing into the cash management device, this cash should be stored in the change store or in the cash safe. There is a problem that it is difficult to judge whether it is a thing.
本発明は、このような点を考慮してなされたものであり、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部が例えばフル状態等になった場合において貨幣をこれ以上貨幣処理機に入金することができなくなってしまうことを抑制することができるとともに、釣銭として出金する貨幣の量が過多となった際でも、釣銭切れとなってしまうことを抑制することができる貨幣処理機を提供することを目的とする。また、本発明の他の目的は、一の取引において貨幣処理機に不具合が発生した場合であっても、筐体の内部で搬送中の貨幣がどこに収納されるべき貨幣であるかを容易に判断することができる貨幣処理機を提供することにある。また、本発明の更に他の目的は、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部にできる限り多くの貨幣を収納するとともに、貨幣の入金処理中にリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部がフル状態またはニアフル状態となっても、入金された貨幣を一括して収納することができる貨幣処理機および貨幣処理方法を提供することにある。

In the money handling machine of the present invention, the money handling machine further comprises a throwing port for throwing money from the inside of the housing to the outside, the set amount is provided for each money denomination, the control unit, When performing the depositing process for identifying the money put into the inside from the outside of the housing by the identifying unit and storing the money in the recycled money storage and feeding unit, the money stored in the recycled money storage and feeding unit When the amount exceeds the set amount, after the counting of the money inserted into the housing from the insertion port is finished, the counted money stored in the recyclable money storage and feeding part in the depositing process is thrown. The process of returning to the outlet is performed, and then the sum of the amount of money thrown into the housing through the slot and counted and the amount of money stored in the recycle-type money storage and feeding unit is Exceeding the set amount At least a portion of the UNA denominations of money, may be adapted to perform the delivery process for delivering the currency compartment.
このような貨幣処理機によれば、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部にできる限り多くの貨幣を収納するとともに、貨幣の入金処理中にリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部がフル状態またはニアフル状態となっても、入金された貨幣を一括して収納することができる。
According to such a money handling machine, as much money as possible can be stored in the recyclable money storage and feeding section, and even if the recyclable money storage and feeding section is in a full state or a near full state during the money deposit process, Deposited money can be stored together.
この際に、前記制御部は、前記引渡処理において、前記投入口から前記筐体の内部に投入され計数された貨幣の投入量と前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の収納量との和から前記設定量を減算した量以上の貨幣を、前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部から前記貨幣収納部に引き渡すようになっていてもよい。
At this time, the control unit, in the delivery process, the amount of money inserted into the housing from the insertion port and counted, and the amount of money stored in the recyclable money storage and feeding unit, More than the amount obtained by subtracting the set amount from the sum may be delivered from the recycle-type money storage and feeding unit to the money storage unit.
また、前記制御部は、前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量を超えると、前記引渡処理を行う貨幣の量を自動的に設定するようになっていてもよい。
The control unit may automatically set the amount of money to be delivered when the amount of money stored in the recyclable money storage and feeding unit exceeds the set amount. .
また、外部の処理センターと通信接続する通信部を更に備え、前記制御部は、ある金種の貨幣について前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量を超えたときにこの情報を前記処理センターに送り、前記制御部は、前記処理センターからの引渡指令に基づいて前記引渡処理を行うようになっていてもよい。
The communication unit further includes a communication unit that communicates with an external processing center, and the control unit is configured such that when the amount of money stored in the recycle-type money storage and feeding unit for a denomination of money exceeds the set amount. This information may be sent to the processing center, and the control unit may perform the delivery process based on a delivery command from the processing center.
あるいは、前記制御部は、前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量を超えると、前記引渡処理を自動的に行うようになっていてもよい。
Alternatively, the control unit may automatically perform the delivery process when the amount of money stored in the recyclable money storage and feeding unit exceeds the set amount.
本発明の貨幣処理機においては、前記制御部は、(A)前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量よりも小さい場合には、前記筐体の外部から内部に投入された貨幣を前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に納金する納金処理を、前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣を前記貨幣収納部へ引き渡す引渡処理とは独立して行うような引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行い、(B)前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量に達したときに、前記納金処理を前記引渡処理と連動させて行うような引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。
In the money handling machine of the present invention, when the amount of money stored in the recycle-type money storage and feeding portion is smaller than the set amount, (A) Non-delivery in which the payment process of paying the inserted money to the recycle-type money storage and feeding unit is performed independently of the transfer process of transferring the money stored in the recycle-type money storage and feeding part to the money storage unit. (B) When the amount of money stored in the recycle-type money storage and delivery unit reaches the set amount, the payment process is performed in conjunction with the delivery process. Control may be performed so that money is processed in the delivery interlocking mode.
この場合、予め設定された設定量は、例えば、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部が満杯となるような(スタッカフルとなるような)貨幣の量のことをいう。なお、設定量はこのような例に限定されることはなく、代わりに、釣銭として必要な貨幣の量を設定量としてもよい。
In this case, the preset amount refers to, for example, the amount of money that makes the recyclable money storage and feeding part full (stacker full). The set amount is not limited to such an example. Instead, the amount of money necessary for change may be used as the set amount.
上述のような貨幣処理機によれば、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が予め設定された設定量よりも小さい場合には、納金処理を引渡処理とは独立して行うような引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行い、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が設定量に達したときに、納金処理を引渡処理と連動させて行うような引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うようになっている。
According to the money handling machine as described above, when the amount of money stored in the recycle-type money storage and feeding unit is smaller than a preset set amount, the payment process is performed independently of the delivery process. In the delivery-linked mode, the money is processed in the non-delivery-linked mode, and when the amount of money stored in the recyclable money storage and delivery section reaches the set amount, the payment process is performed in conjunction with the delivery process. It is designed to process money.
ここで、一の取引において引渡非連動モードのみで貨幣の処理を行う場合には、貨幣処理機に入金される貨幣の量が過多となった際に(具体的には、例えばリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部が例えば満杯になった際に)、引渡処理が行われるまで貨幣をこれ以上貨幣処理機に入金することができなくなってしまうという問題がある。一方、一の取引において引渡連動モードのみで貨幣の処理を行う場合には、釣銭として出金する貨幣の量が過多となった際に、釣銭切れとなってしまうという問題がある。
Here, in the case where money is processed only in the non-delivery mode in one transaction, when the amount of money deposited in the money handling machine becomes excessive (specifically, for example, recyclable money storage There is a problem that when the payout unit becomes full (for example), it becomes impossible to deposit money into the money handling machine until the delivery process is performed. On the other hand, in the case where money is processed only in the delivery interlocking mode in one transaction, there is a problem that when the amount of money to be withdrawn becomes excessive, the change is run out.
これに対して、上述のような貨幣処理機では、通常は引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行い、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が予め設定された設定量に達したときに初めて引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うので、リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部が例えば満杯になった場合において貨幣をこれ以上貨幣処理機に入金することができなくなってしまうことを抑制することができるとともに、釣銭として出金する貨幣の量が過多となった場合でも釣銭切れとなってしまうことを抑制することができる。また、上述のような貨幣処理機では、貨幣をリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納するか貨幣収納部に引き渡すかは取引単位で決められるようになっており、このため一の取引において貨幣の搬送先は全て貨幣収納部またはリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部のうちいずれか一方となるので、貨幣処理機に不具合が発生した場合であっても筐体の内部で搬送中の貨幣がどこに収納されるべき貨幣であるかを容易に判断することができる。
On the other hand, in the money handling machine as described above, the money is normally processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, and the amount of money stored in the recycling-type money storage and feeding unit reaches a preset set amount. Sometimes, for the first time, money is processed in the delivery-linked mode, so that when the recyclable money storage and feeding section becomes full, for example, it is possible to prevent money from being no longer deposited into the money processor. In addition, even if the amount of money to be withdrawn as change is excessive, it is possible to prevent the change from being exhausted. Moreover, in the money handling machine as described above, whether to store the money in the recyclable money storage and delivery section or to deliver it to the money storage section is determined on a transaction basis. Since all the destinations are either the money storage part or the recycle-type money storage and feeding part, where the money being transported should be stored inside the housing even if a trouble occurs in the money handling machine It can be easily judged whether it is money.
上述のような貨幣処理機においては、前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部は貨幣の金種毎に複数設けられており、前記筐体の外部から内部に取り込まれた貨幣は前記各リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に金種毎に収納されるようになっていてもよい。
In the money handling machine as described above, a plurality of the recyclable money storage and feeding sections are provided for each denomination of money, and the money taken into the inside from the outside of the housing is the recycle money storage and feeding section. It may be accommodated for each denomination in the part.
この場合、前記制御部は、前記各リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量がそれぞれ予め設定された設定量よりも小さい場合には前記引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行い、前記各リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量に達したときに、前記引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。
In this case, when the amount of money stored in each recycling-type money storage and feeding unit is smaller than a preset amount, the control unit processes the money in the delivery non-interlocking mode, When the amount of money stored in at least any one of the recycle-type money storage and feeding units reaches the set amount, control is performed so that the money is processed in the delivery interlocking mode. You may come to do.
また、同一金種の貨幣が複数の前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納されるようになっている場合には、前記設定量は貨幣の金種毎に予め設定されるようになっており、前記制御部は、前記各リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部のうち一の金種に対応する1または複数のリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量の合計値が、当該一の金種に対応する設定量に達したときに、前記引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。
In addition, when the money of the same denomination is stored in a plurality of the recyclable money storage and feeding units, the set amount is set in advance for each denomination of money, The control unit is configured such that a total value of amounts of money stored in one or a plurality of recycle-type money storage and feeding units corresponding to one denomination among the recycle-type money storage and feeding units is the one denomination. When a corresponding set amount is reached, control may be performed so that money is processed in the delivery interlocking mode.
また、前記制御部は、前記各リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量に達したときに、全ての金種の貨幣について前記引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。
In addition, when the amount of money stored in at least one of the recycle-type money storage and feeding sections among the recycle-type money storage and feeding sections reaches the set amount, Control may be made so that money is processed in the delivery interlocking mode for money.
あるいは、前記制御部は、前記各リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納された貨幣の量が前記設定量に達したときに、少なくとも当該リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に対応する金種の貨幣について前記引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。
Alternatively, when the amount of money stored in at least one of the recycle-type money storage and feeding units among the recycle-type money storage and feeding units reaches the set amount, at least the recycle-type money Control may be performed so that money of a denomination corresponding to the storage and feeding unit is processed in the delivery interlocking mode.
上述のような貨幣処理機においては、前記貨幣処理機は、紙幣処理装置および硬貨処理装置を備え、前記紙幣処理装置および前記硬貨処理装置は、それぞれリサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部を有し、前記制御部は、前記紙幣処理装置および前記硬貨処理装置のうちいずれか一方の処理装置において前記リサイクル式貨幣収納繰出部に収納される貨幣の量が予め設定された設定量に達するときに、この処理装置において前記引渡処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。
In the money handling machine as described above, the money handling machine includes a banknote processing device and a coin processing device, and each of the banknote processing device and the coin processing device has a recyclable money storage and feeding unit, and the control When the amount of money stored in the recycle-type money storage and feeding unit in the processing device of any one of the banknote processing device and the coin processing device reaches a preset set amount, the processing device The control may be performed so as to perform the delivery process.

上述のような貨幣処理機10の動作としては、インターフェース確認モード、運用モードおよび保守メンテナンスモードの3つのモードがある。操作者は、操作部45により、インターフェース確認モード、運用モードあるいは保守メンテナンスモードを選択することができる。
The operation of the money handling machine 10 as described above includes three modes: an interface confirmation mode, an operation mode, and a maintenance mode. The operator can select an interface confirmation mode, an operation mode, or a maintenance mode using the operation unit 45.
インターフェース確認モードとは、貨幣処理機10の初期状態において、すなわち貨幣処理機10が導入された際に、インターフェースにより貨幣処理機10が上位装置等に通信接続されるか否かを確認するためのモードである。このようなインターフェース確認モードにおいて、インターフェースにより貨幣処理機10が上位装置等に通信接続されたときには、上位装置等から貨幣処理機10に様々な設定データが送られる。
The interface confirmation mode is for confirming whether or not the money handling machine 10 is communicatively connected to a host device or the like by the interface in the initial state of the money handling machine 10, that is, when the money handling machine 10 is introduced. Mode. In such an interface confirmation mode, when the money handling machine 10 is communicatively connected to a higher-level device or the like through an interface, various setting data are sent from the higher-level device or the like to the money processing machine 10.
運用モードには、貨幣処理機10が上位装置等に通信接続された状態のオンラインモードと、貨幣処理機10と外部との通信接続が遮断された状態のオフラインモードの2つの状態がある。オンラインモードには開店モードと閉店モードの2つのモードがあり、開店モードにおいて、操作者は後述する補充処理、納金処理、出金処理、引渡処理、大量引渡処理、両替処理、逆両替処理、精査処理、計数処理、締め処理、締め連動引渡処理等を行うことができる。また、この開店モードにおいては、例えば売上金の回収業務を委託された収集業者の収集特定者によって、貨幣収納部40の各カセット41、42自体の回収を行うこともできる(警備回収処理)。一方、閉店モードにおいては、収集特定者による貨幣収納部40の各カセット41、42の回収のみしか行うことができない。なお、これらの開店モードおよび閉店モードの切り換えは、時間帯等による自動での切り替えも可能である。一方、オフラインモードにおいては、上位装置等に対する情報の伝達は行われず、納金処理等の処理結果は貨幣処理機10内に設けられた記憶媒体(図示せず)に記憶されることとなる。上述の各モードの選択は、操作者が操作部45により選択することができる。
There are two operation modes: an online mode in which the money handling machine 10 is connected to a higher-level device and the like, and an offline mode in which the communication connection between the money handling machine 10 and the outside is cut off. The online mode has two modes: a store opening mode and a store closing mode. In the store opening mode, the operator performs replenishment processing, payment processing, withdrawal processing, delivery processing, large-volume delivery processing, exchange processing, reverse exchange processing, and scrutiny described later. Processing, counting processing, tightening processing, tightening interlocking delivery processing and the like can be performed. Further, in this store opening mode, for example, the cassettes 41 and 42 of the money storage unit 40 themselves can be collected by the collection specific person of the collection company entrusted with the collection of sales proceeds (security collection processing). On the other hand, in the store closing mode, only the collection of the cassettes 41 and 42 of the money storage unit 40 by the collection specific person can be performed. It should be noted that the switching between the opening mode and the closing mode can be performed automatically depending on the time zone. On the other hand, in the offline mode, information is not transmitted to the host device or the like, and processing results such as payment processing are stored in a storage medium (not shown) provided in the money handling machine 10. The selection of each mode described above can be selected by the operator using the operation unit 45.
保守メンテナンスモードの際に、保守員が貨幣処理機10の紙幣処理装置20や硬貨処理装置30の各構成要素の保守メンテナンスを行う。このような保守メンテナンスは、貨幣処理機10が設置された現場で行ってもよく、貨幣処理機10を工場等に持ち帰ってこの工場内で行ってもよい。
In the maintenance maintenance mode, the maintenance staff performs maintenance maintenance of each component of the banknote handling device 20 and the coin handling device 30 of the money handling machine 10. Such maintenance and maintenance may be performed at the site where the money handling machine 10 is installed, or may be performed in the factory by bringing the money handling machine 10 back to the factory or the like.
上述した補充処理、納金処理、出金処理、引渡処理、大量引渡処理、両替処理、逆両替処理、精査処理、計数処理、締め処理、締め連動引渡処理、警備回収処理の各処理のうち、納金処理および引渡処理について以下に説明する。以下に示す各処理は、制御部15が各構成要素を制御することにより行われる。ここで、制御部15は、納金処理を引渡処理とは独立して行うような引渡非連動モード、および納金処理を引渡処理と連動させて行うような引渡連動モードのうちいずれか一方のモードで貨幣の処理を行うようになっている。また、以下に示す納金処理および引渡処理の各々は、操作者により操作部45を介して制御部15に対して各種の命令がなされることにより、あるいは現金センター13またはデータセンター14からコントローラ12(17)を介して制御部15に対して各種の命令がなされることにより行われる。
Of the above-mentioned replenishment processing, payment processing, withdrawal processing, delivery processing, mass delivery processing, exchange processing, reverse exchange processing, scrutiny processing, counting processing, tightening processing, tightening linked delivery processing, and security collection processing, payment is made Processing and delivery processing will be described below. Each process shown below is performed by the control unit 15 controlling each component. Here, the control unit 15 is in either one of a delivery non-interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed independently of the delivery process and a delivery interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed in conjunction with the delivery process. It is designed to process money. In addition, each of the payment process and the delivery process shown below is performed by various instructions given to the control unit 15 by the operator via the operation unit 45, or from the cash center 13 or the data center 14 to the controller 12 ( This is performed by issuing various instructions to the control unit 15 via 17).
まず、紙幣や硬貨の納金処理について説明する。ここで、紙幣や硬貨の納金処理とは、筐体11の外部から内部に取り込まれた紙幣を金種別に紙幣処理装置20の各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に納金したり、筐体11の外部から内部に取り込まれた硬貨を金種別に硬貨処理装置30の各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34に納金したりする処理のことをいう。紙幣や硬貨の納金処理が行われた場合には、筐体11の外部から内部に取り込まれた紙幣や硬貨は第1の管理権限下(店舗側の管理権限下)にある。
First, the payment process for banknotes and coins will be described. Here, the payment processing of banknotes and coins means that banknotes taken into the inside from the outside of the housing 11 are paid to each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 by denomination, or the outside of the housing 11. It refers to a process of paying the coins taken in from the inside to each recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 according to denomination. When a bill or coin payment process is performed, the bill or coin taken from the outside of the housing 11 is under the first management authority (under the management authority on the store side).
次に、紙幣や硬貨の出金処理について説明する。ここで、紙幣や硬貨の出金処理とは、紙幣処理装置20の各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣を当該紙幣処理装置20の外部に出したり、硬貨処理装置30の各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された硬貨を当該硬貨処理装置30の外部に出したりする処理のことをいう。この際に、操作部45により入力された金額または金種毎の枚数の貨幣を筐体11の外部に投出する。そして、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34における紙幣や硬貨の在高は、出金処理が行われた紙幣や硬貨の金額分だけ減少する。
Next, the banknote and coin withdrawal process will be described. Here, withdrawing processing of banknotes and coins, banknotes stored in the respective recycling-type banknote storage units 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 are taken out of the banknote processing apparatus 20, or each recycling type of the coin processing apparatus 30 is used. This refers to a process of taking out the coins stored in the coin storage unit 34 to the outside of the coin processing device 30. At this time, the amount of money or the number of denominations input by the operation unit 45 is thrown out of the housing 11. The amount of banknotes and coins in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 is reduced by the amount of banknotes and coins for which the withdrawal process has been performed.
次に、紙幣や硬貨の引渡処理について説明する。ここで、紙幣や硬貨の引渡処理とは、紙幣処理装置20の各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣を貨幣収納部40の紙幣収納カセット41に送ったり、硬貨処理装置30の各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された硬貨を貨幣収納部40の硬貨収納カセット42に送ったりする処理のことをいう。このような引渡処理が行われると、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34から貨幣収納部40に送られた紙幣や硬貨は第1の管理権限下から第2の管理権限下に変更される。そして、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34における紙幣や硬貨の在高は、引渡処理が行われた紙幣や硬貨の金額分だけ減少し、一方、貨幣収納部40の紙幣収納カセット41や硬貨収納カセット42における紙幣や硬貨の在高は、引渡処理が行われた紙幣や硬貨の金額分だけ増加する。
Next, the delivery process of banknotes and coins will be described. Here, the delivery process of banknotes and coins refers to sending banknotes stored in each recycling-type banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 to the banknote storage cassette 41 of the currency storage unit 40, or recycling of the coin processing apparatus 30. This refers to a process of sending the coins stored in the coin storage unit 34 to the coin storage cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. When such a delivery process is performed, banknotes and coins sent from the recycle-type banknote storage units 27 and the recycle-type coin storage units 34 to the money storage unit 40 are transferred from the first management authority to the second management authority. Changed below. And the amount of banknotes and coins in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 is reduced by the amount of the banknotes and coins that have been delivered, while the banknotes in the money storage unit 40 The amount of banknotes and coins in the storage cassette 41 and the coin storage cassette 42 increases by the amount of the banknotes and coins that have been delivered.
以下、制御部15が引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行う場合について説明する。この場合、前述のような納金処理を引渡処理とは独立して行う。
Hereinafter, the case where the control unit 15 processes money in the delivery non-interlocking mode will be described. In this case, the payment process as described above is performed independently of the delivery process.
まず、制御部15が引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行う場合の紙幣処理装置20における紙幣の納金処理について図5を用いて以下に説明する。
First, banknote payment processing in the banknote processing apparatus 20 when the control unit 15 processes money in the non-delivery interlocking mode will be described below with reference to FIG.
例えば操作者により操作部45を介して紙幣の納金処理の指令が制御部15に送られたときにおいて、操作者が紙幣処理装置20の紙幣投入口21に紙幣を投入したときには、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣は1枚ずつ搬送部25により搬送され、識別部26において紙幣の識別が行われる。図5に示すように、識別部26により正常な紙幣であると識別された場合には、この紙幣は搬送部25により当該紙幣の金種に対応するリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に送られる。一方、図5に示すように、識別部26により損券や偽札等のリジェクト紙幣であると識別された場合は、この紙幣は搬送部25により紙幣リジェクト口22に送られる。上述のような紙幣の処理が行われる際に、識別部26により紙幣の計数が行われる。
For example, when an operator sends a bill payment processing command to the control unit 15 via the operation unit 45, when the operator inserts a bill into the bill insertion port 21 of the bill processing apparatus 20, the bill insertion port 21. The bills thrown into the are transported one by one by the transport unit 25, and the recognition unit 26 identifies the bills. As shown in FIG. 5, when the identification unit 26 identifies a normal banknote, the banknote is sent by the transport unit 25 to the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknote. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the identifying unit 26 identifies the banknote as a rejected banknote or counterfeit bill, the banknote is sent to the banknote rejection port 22 by the transport unit 25. When the bill processing as described above is performed, the bill is counted by the identification unit 26.
なお、上述のような紙幣の納金処理が行われた後、釣銭計数処理が行われる場合がある。釣銭計数処理とは、納金時に釣銭を出金する必要がある場合に、釣銭をリサイクル式紙幣収納部27から出金する処理のことをいう。具体的には、顧客から預かった金を操作者が貨幣処理機10に納金したときに、釣銭を出金する必要がある場合には納金額から品物の価格を差し引いた釣銭分の貨幣を払い出すこととなる。この際の釣銭の貨幣処理機10からの出金処理のことを釣銭計数処理という。さらに詳細には、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣が搬送部25により識別部26を経て紙幣リジェクト口22に送られることにより釣銭としての紙幣の出金が行われる。
In addition, the change counting process may be performed after the banknote payment process as described above is performed. The change counting process refers to a process of withdrawing change from the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 when it is necessary to withdraw change at the time of payment. Specifically, when the operator pays the money deposited from the customer to the money handling machine 10, if the change needs to be withdrawn, the money corresponding to the change obtained by subtracting the price of the item from the amount paid is paid. Will be issued. The withdrawal process from the change money processing machine 10 at this time is called a change counting process. More specifically, banknotes stored in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 are sent to the banknote reject port 22 by the transport unit 25 via the identification unit 26, whereby the banknotes as change are dispensed.
制御部15が引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行う場合の硬貨処理装置30における硬貨の納金処理でも、上述のような紙幣処理装置20における紙幣の納金処理と同様に、筐体11の外部から内部に投入された硬貨が金種別に各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34内に収納されるようになっている。
Even in the coin payment process in the coin processing device 30 when the control unit 15 processes the money in the delivery non-interlocking mode, the bill payment process in the bill processing apparatus 20 as described above is performed from the outside of the housing 11. Coins thrown into the inside are stored in each recycle type coin storage section 34 according to denomination.
ここで、上述のような引渡非連動モードで貨幣の処理を行っている間に、紙幣処理装置20における各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣の量が予め設定された設定量に達したときに、あるいは、硬貨処理装置30における各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された硬貨の量が予め設定された設定量に達したときに、紙幣処理装置20や硬貨処理装置30において、制御部15は引渡連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行うようになる。ここで、予め設定された設定量は、例えば、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34が満杯となるような(スタッカフルとなるような)紙幣や硬貨の量のことをいう。なお、設定量はこのような例に限定されることはなく、代わりに、釣銭として必要な紙幣や硬貨の量や任意の量を設定量としてもよい。
Here, while the money is being processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode as described above, the money is stored in at least one of the recycled banknote storage units 27 in the banknote processing apparatus 20. Of the coins stored in the recycle coin storage unit 34 of at least one of the recycle coin storage units 34 in the coin processing device 30 when the amount of bills reached reaches a preset set amount. When the amount reaches a preset amount, the control unit 15 in the banknote handling apparatus 20 and the coin handling apparatus 30 processes bills and coins in the delivery interlocking mode. Here, the preset set amount is, for example, the amount of banknotes and coins that each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 are full (stacker is full). Say. The set amount is not limited to such an example. Instead, the amount of bills or coins necessary as change or an arbitrary amount may be set as the set amount.
この際に、制御部15は、紙幣処理装置20の各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣の量が設定量に達したときに、全ての金種の紙幣について引渡連動モードで紙幣の処理を行う。また、制御部15は、硬貨処理装置30の各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された硬貨の量が設定量に達したときに、全ての金種の硬貨について引渡連動モードで硬貨の処理を行う。
At this time, when the amount of banknotes stored in at least one of the recyclable banknote storage units 27 of the banknote processing device 20 reaches the set amount, the control unit 15 All banknotes of denomination are processed in the delivery interlocking mode. Further, the control unit 15 is configured so that when the amount of coins stored in at least one of the recycle type coin storage units 34 of the coin processing device 30 reaches a set amount, For coins of denomination, the coins are processed in the delivery interlocking mode.
なお、制御部15は、紙幣処理装置20および硬貨処理装置30のうちいずれか一方の処理装置(例えば、紙幣処理装置20)において各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣の量が設定量に達したときには、紙幣処理装置20では引渡連動モードで紙幣の処理を行うが、他方の処理装置(例えば、硬貨処理装置30)において各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された硬貨の量が設定量よりも小さい場合には、硬貨処理装置30では引渡非連動モードで硬貨の処理を行うようになっている。
In addition, the control part 15 is at least any one recycle type banknote in each recycle type banknote storage part 27 in any one processing apparatus (for example, banknote processing apparatus 20) among the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the coin processing apparatus 30. When the amount of banknotes stored in the storage unit 27 reaches a set amount, the banknote processing apparatus 20 processes the banknotes in the delivery interlocking mode, but the other processing apparatus (for example, the coin processing apparatus 30) uses each recycle type. When the amount of coins stored in the coin storage unit 34 is smaller than the set amount, the coin processing device 30 processes coins in the delivery non-interlocking mode.
また、同一金種の紙幣や硬貨が複数のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納されるようになっている場合には、設定量は紙幣や硬貨の金種毎に予め設定されている。そして、制御部15は、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34のうち一の金種に対応する1または複数のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量の合計値が、一の金種に対応する設定量に達したときに、引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うようにする。
In addition, when banknotes and coins of the same denomination are stored in a plurality of recyclable banknote storage units 27 and recycleable coin storage units 34, the set amount is previously set for each denomination of banknotes and coins. Is set. The control unit 15 stores the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 or the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 in one or more recycle-type banknote storage units 27 or the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 corresponding to one denomination. When the total value of the amount of bills and coins reached the set amount corresponding to one denomination, the money is processed in the delivery interlocking mode.
以下、制御部15が引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行う場合について説明する。この場合、前述のような納金処理を引渡処理と連動して行う。
Hereinafter, a case where the control unit 15 processes money in the delivery interlocking mode will be described. In this case, the payment process as described above is performed in conjunction with the delivery process.
制御部15が引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行う場合の紙幣処理装置20における紙幣の納金処理について図6A~図6Cを用いて以下に説明する。
The banknote payment process in the banknote processing apparatus 20 when the control unit 15 processes money in the delivery interlocking mode will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C.
操作者により操作部45を介して紙幣の納金処理の指令が制御部15に送られたときにおいて、操作者が紙幣処理装置20の紙幣投入口21に紙幣を投入したときには、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣は1枚ずつ搬送部25により搬送され、識別部26において紙幣の識別が行われる。図6Aに示すように、識別部26により正常な紙幣であると識別され、かつこの紙幣の金種に対応するリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納される紙幣の量が設定量に達していない場合には、この紙幣は搬送部25により当該紙幣の金種に対応するリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に送られる。一方、図6Aに示すように、識別部26により損券や偽札等のリジェクト紙幣であると識別された場合は、この紙幣は搬送部25により紙幣リジェクト口22に送られる。また、識別部26により識別された紙幣の金種に対応するリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣の量が既に設定量に達している場合には、図6Aに示すように、この紙幣は搬送部25により紙幣保留部29に送られる。
When an operator sends a bill payment processing instruction to the control unit 15 via the operation unit 45, when the operator inserts a bill into the bill insertion port 21 of the bill processing apparatus 20, The inserted bills are transported one by one by the transport unit 25, and the recognition unit 26 identifies the bills. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the identification unit 26 identifies a normal banknote, and the amount of banknotes stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknotes has not reached the set amount. The bill is sent by the transport unit 25 to the recyclable bill storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the bill. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the identifying unit 26 identifies that the banknote is a rejected banknote such as a damaged bill or a fake bill, the banknote is sent to the banknote reject port 22 by the transport unit 25. When the amount of banknotes stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknotes identified by the identification unit 26 has already reached the set amount, as shown in FIG. Is sent to the banknote storage unit 29 by the transport unit 25.
その後、以下に示すような引渡処理が自動的に行われる。すなわち、納金処理の後、操作者が何も操作しなくても、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27の紙幣は全て紙幣保留部29に送られて保留される(図6B参照)。そして、操作部45における「確定キー」を押すことにより、紙幣保留部29に保留された紙幣は紙幣収納カセット41に収納され、引渡処理がなされることとなる(図6C参照)。
After that, the delivery process as shown below is automatically performed. That is, after the payment process, even if the operator does not operate anything, all the banknotes in each recycling-type banknote storage unit 27 are sent to the banknote storage unit 29 (see FIG. 6B). And the banknote hold | maintained at the banknote storage part 29 is accommodated in the banknote storage cassette 41 by pushing the "confirmation key" in the operation part 45, and a delivery process will be made (refer FIG. 6C).
制御部15が引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行う場合の硬貨処理装置30における硬貨の納金処理でも、上述のような紙幣処理装置20における紙幣の納金処理と同様に、筐体11の外部から内部に投入された硬貨が金種別に各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34内に収納され、その後、操作者が何も操作しなくても、各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34にある硬貨は全て自動的に貨幣収納部40の硬貨収納カセット42に引き渡されることとなる。
Similarly to the banknote payment process in the banknote processing apparatus 20 as described above, the coin payment process in the coin processing apparatus 30 when the control unit 15 processes the money in the delivery interlocking mode is performed from the outside of the housing 11. The coins placed in the recycle coin storage unit 34 are stored in each recycle coin storage unit 34 according to denomination, and then all the coins in each recycle coin storage unit 34 are automatically currencyd without any operation by the operator. It will be delivered to the coin storage cassette 42 of the storage unit 40.
以上のように本実施の形態の貨幣処理機10によれば、紙幣処理装置20のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27や硬貨処理装置30のリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が予め設定された設定量よりも小さい場合には、納金処理を引渡処理とは独立して行うような引渡非連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行い、紙幣処理装置20のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27や硬貨処理装置30のリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が設定量に達したときに、納金処理を引渡処理と連動させて行うような引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うようになっている。
As described above, according to the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment, the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the recycleable coin storage part 34 of the coin processing apparatus 30 is increased. If the amount is smaller than the preset amount, the bill or coin is processed in a delivery non-interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed independently of the delivery process, and the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 is processed. When the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 reaches a set amount, the money processing is performed in a delivery interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed in conjunction with the delivery processing. To do.
ここで、一の取引において引渡非連動モードのみで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行う場合には、貨幣処理機10に入金される紙幣や硬貨の量が過多となった際に(具体的には、例えばリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34が例えば満杯になった際に)、引渡処理が行われるまで紙幣や硬貨をこれ以上貨幣処理機10に入金することができなくなってしまうという問題がある。一方、一の取引において引渡連動モードのみで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行う場合には、釣銭として出金する紙幣や硬貨の量が過多となった際に、釣銭切れとなってしまうという問題がある。
Here, when processing bills and coins only in the delivery non-interlocking mode in one transaction, when the amount of bills and coins deposited in the money handling machine 10 becomes excessive (specifically, For example, when the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 and the recycleable coin storage unit 34 are full, for example, banknotes and coins can no longer be deposited into the money handling machine 10 until the delivery process is performed. There's a problem. On the other hand, when processing banknotes and coins only in the delivery interlocking mode in one transaction, there is a problem that when the amount of banknotes or coins to be withdrawn is excessive, the change will run out. .
これに対して、本実施の形態の貨幣処理機10では、通常は引渡非連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行い、紙幣処理装置20のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27や硬貨処理装置30のリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が予め設定された設定量に達したときに初めて引渡連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行うので、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34が例えば満杯になった場合において紙幣や硬貨をこれ以上貨幣処理機10に入金することができなくなってしまうことを抑制することができるとともに、釣銭として出金する紙幣や硬貨の量が過多となった場合でも釣銭切れとなってしまうことを抑制することができる。また、本実施の形態の貨幣処理機10では、紙幣や硬貨をリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納するか貨幣収納部40に引き渡すかは取引単位で決められるようになっており、このため一の取引において紙幣や硬貨の搬送先は全て貨幣収納部40またはリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34のうちいずれか一方となるので、貨幣処理機10に不具合が発生した場合であっても筐体11の内部で搬送部25、35により搬送中の紙幣や硬貨がどこに収納されるべき紙幣や硬貨であるかを容易に判断することができるようになる。
On the other hand, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, normally, bills and coins are processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, and the recycling bill storage unit 27 of the bill processing device 20 and the recycling type of the coin processing device 30 are used. Since the banknotes and coins are processed in the delivery interlock mode for the first time when the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the coin storage part 34 reaches a preset set amount, the recycled banknote storage part 27 and the recycled coins are stored. For example, when the portion 34 is full, it is possible to prevent the banknotes and coins from being deposited into the money handling machine 10 any more, and the amount of banknotes and coins to be dispensed as change is excessive. Even if it becomes, it can suppress that it becomes out of change. Further, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, whether to store banknotes or coins in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 or the recycleable coin storage unit 34 or to be delivered to the money storage unit 40 is determined on a transaction basis. For this reason, in one transaction, all bills and coins are transported to one of the money storage unit 40, the recycled bill storage unit 27, and the recycled coin storage unit 34. Even if this occurs, it is possible to easily determine where the bills and coins being transported are transported by the transport units 25 and 35 inside the housing 11.
また、本実施の形態の貨幣処理機10では、紙幣処理装置20のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27や硬貨処理装置30のリサイクル式硬貨収納部34は第1の管理権限下(店舗側の管理権限下)にあり、貨幣収納部40は第2の管理権限下(収集特定者側の管理権限下)にある。このため、引渡非連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行った場合には、筐体11の外部から内部に投入された紙幣は第1の管理権限下にある。一方、紙幣処理装置20のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27や硬貨処理装置30のリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が予め設定された設定量に達し、引渡連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行った場合には、紙幣や硬貨は第1の管理権限下から第2の管理権限下に移されることとなる。
Moreover, in the money handling machine 10 of this Embodiment, the recycle type banknote storage part 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the recycle type coin storage part 34 of the coin processing apparatus 30 are under the first management authority (under the management authority on the store side). The money storage unit 40 is under the second management authority (under the management authority on the collection specific person side). For this reason, when the banknote and the coin are processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, the banknote thrown into the inside from the outside of the housing 11 is under the first management authority. On the other hand, the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 and the recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 reaches a preset set amount, When coin processing is performed, banknotes and coins are transferred from the first management authority to the second management authority.
また、紙幣処理装置20や硬貨処理装置30には、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34が紙幣や硬貨の金種毎に複数設けられており、筐体11の外部から内部に取り込まれた紙幣や硬貨は各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34に金種毎に収納されるようになっている。
The banknote processing apparatus 20 and the coin processing apparatus 30 are provided with a plurality of recyclable banknote storage units 27 and recycleable coin storage sections 34 for each denomination of banknotes and coins. The taken banknotes and coins are stored in each recycle type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle type coin storage unit 34 for each denomination.
本実施の形態の貨幣処理機10では、制御部15は、紙幣処理装置20のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27や硬貨処理装置30のリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量がそれぞれ予め設定された設定量よりも小さい場合には引渡非連動モードで紙幣や硬貨の処理を行い、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が設定量に達したときに、全ての金種の紙幣や硬貨について引渡連動モードで貨幣の処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっている。
In the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment, the control unit 15 has the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 and the recycleable coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30, respectively. When it is smaller than a preset amount, banknotes and coins are processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, and at least any one of the recyclable banknote storage units 27 and the recycleable coin storage units 34 is recycled. When the amount of banknotes or coins stored in the storage unit 27 or the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 reaches a set amount, control is performed so that all denominations of banknotes and coins are processed in the delivery interlock mode. It is like that.
なお、制御部15による制御はこのような例に限定されることはなく、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27や各リサイクル式硬貨収納部34のうち少なくともいずれか1つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が設定量に達したときに、この収納された紙幣や硬貨の量が設定量に達したリサイクル式紙幣収納部27やリサイクル式硬貨収納部34に対応する金種の紙幣や硬貨のみについて引渡連動モードで処理を行うよう制御を行うようになっていてもよい。この場合、他の金種の紙幣や硬貨は、引き続き引渡非連動モードで処理が行われることとなる。
Note that the control by the control unit 15 is not limited to such an example, and at least one of the recyclable banknote storage units 27 and the recycleable coin storage units 34 or the recycleable banknote storage unit 27 or the recycle. When the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the coin-type coin storage unit 34 reaches a set amount, the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and the recycle-type coin storage unit in which the amount of banknotes and coins stored reaches the set amount. Control may be performed so that only banknotes and coins of denomination corresponding to 34 are processed in the delivery interlocking mode. In this case, banknotes and coins of other denominations are continuously processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode.
制御部15による更に他の制御方法について図7A~図7Fを用いて説明する。制御部15は、以下に示すような貨幣処理機10の制御を選択的に行うことができるようになっている。
Still another control method by the control unit 15 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7F. The control unit 15 can selectively control the money handling machine 10 as described below.
以下、制御部15により例えば紙幣処理装置20において紙幣の入金処理が行われる場合について説明する。
Hereinafter, a case where a banknote depositing process is performed in the banknote processing apparatus 20 by the control unit 15 will be described.
紙幣処理装置20における紙幣の入金処理において、操作者が例えば紙幣処理装置20の紙幣投入口21に紙幣を投入したときには、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣は図示しない紙幣繰出部により1枚ずつ搬送部25に繰り出された後、搬送部25により搬送され、識別部26において紙幣の識別が行われる。図7Aに示すように、識別部26により正常な紙幣であると識別された場合には、この紙幣は搬送部25により当該紙幣の金種に対応するリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に送られる。一方、図7Aに示すように、識別部26により損券や偽券等のリジェクト紙幣であると識別された場合には、この紙幣は搬送部25により紙幣リジェクト口22に送られる。上述のような紙幣の処理が行われる際に、制御部15は紙幣の識別結果を金種毎に計数して記憶する。このようにして、紙幣の入金処理が行われる。
In the banknote depositing process in the banknote handling apparatus 20, when the operator puts a banknote into the banknote slot 21 of the banknote handling apparatus 20, for example, the banknotes fed into the banknote slot 21 are one by one by a banknote feeding unit (not shown). After being fed out to the transport unit 25, it is transported by the transport unit 25, and bills are identified in the recognition unit 26. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the identification unit 26 identifies a normal banknote, the banknote is sent by the transport unit 25 to the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknote. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the identifying unit 26 identifies that the banknote is a rejected banknote such as a damaged or counterfeit note, the banknote is sent to the banknote reject port 22 by the transport unit 25. When the above banknote processing is performed, the control unit 15 counts and stores the banknote identification result for each denomination. In this way, banknote deposit processing is performed.
また、制御部15は、上述のような入金処理を行う際に、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された紙幣の量が、紙幣の金種毎に予め設定された設定量を超えると、少なくともこのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に対応する金種の紙幣の搬送先をリサイクル式紙幣収納部27から投出口である紙幣リジェクト口22に切り替える。ここで、予め設定された設定量は、例えば、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27が満杯となるような(スタッカフルとなるような)紙幣の量、または各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27がほぼ満杯となるような(スタッカニアフルとなるような)紙幣の量のことをいう。なお、設定量はこのような例に限定されることはなく、代わりに、釣銭として必要な紙幣の量や任意の量を設定量としてもよい。また、前述のようにこの設定量は貨幣の金種毎に設定されている。例えば、ある金種の紙幣が2つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納されるようになっている場合には、この2つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27がそれぞれ満杯となるような(スタッカフルとなるような)紙幣の量、または2つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27がそれぞれほぼ満杯となるような(スタッカニアフルとなるような)紙幣の量が、この金種の紙幣の設定量として設定される。設定量は定まった数だけでなく、センサ等により所定の量を検出したときにしてもよい。例えば、テープ巻き取り式の収納部は巻き取り時にテープの端をセンサで検出したときを設定量とすることができる。スタッカ式の収納部では、積み重ねた紙幣の高さが所定値となったときを設定量とすることができる。
Moreover, when the amount of the banknote accommodated in each recycle type banknote storage part 27 exceeds the setting amount preset for every denomination of a banknote, when the control part 15 performs the above money_receiving | payment processes, At least the denomination banknote transport destination corresponding to the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 is switched from the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 to the banknote reject port 22 which is the outlet. Here, the set amount set in advance is, for example, the amount of banknotes that each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 is full (that is, the stacker is full) or each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 is almost full. This is the amount of banknotes that will become (stacker full). Note that the set amount is not limited to such an example, and instead, the amount of bills necessary for change or an arbitrary amount may be set as the set amount. Further, as described above, this set amount is set for each denomination of money. For example, when a banknote of a certain denomination is stored in two recyclable banknote storage units 27, the two recyclable banknote storage units 27 are full (stacker is full). The amount of banknotes, or the amount of banknotes such that each of the two recyclable banknote storage units 27 is almost full (becomes full of stackers) is set as the set amount of banknotes of this denomination. . The set amount is not limited to a fixed number but may be when a predetermined amount is detected by a sensor or the like. For example, the tape winding type storage unit can set the set amount when the end of the tape is detected by a sensor during winding. In the stacker type storage unit, the set amount can be set when the height of the stacked banknotes reaches a predetermined value.
設定量に枚数を用いた場合の例を、図7Bを用いてより詳細に説明する。3つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a~27cにそれぞれ千円札、5千円札、1万円札を収納させるようになっている場合において、上述のような入金処理を行う際に、例えば5千円札を収納するリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bがフルまたはニアフル状態となり、このリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納された紙幣の量が予め設定された設定量を超えた場合には、図7Bに示すように、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により識別された紙幣のうち五千円札は紙幣リジェクト口22に搬送されるようになる。
An example of using the number of sheets as the set amount will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 7B. When the three recyclable banknote storage units 27a to 27c are configured to store a thousand yen bill, a 5,000 yen bill, and a 10,000 yen bill, respectively, FIG. 7B shows a case where the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b for storing the yen bills is full or near full, and the amount of banknotes stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b exceeds a preset set amount. As described above, among the bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and identified by the identification unit 26, the five thousand yen bill is conveyed to the bill rejection slot 22.
そして、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣が全て筐体11の内部に送られて識別部26により計数されると、図7Cに示すように、今回の入金処理において各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された、計数済の紙幣を、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27から搬送部25に繰り出して紙幣リジェクト口22に返却する。このことにより、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣は全て一旦紙幣リジェクト口22に返却されることとなる。
When all the bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 are sent to the inside of the casing 11 and counted by the identification unit 26, as shown in FIG. The bills that have been counted are fed out from each recycle-type bill storage unit 27 to the transport unit 25 and returned to the bill reject port 22. As a result, all the bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 are once returned to the bill rejection slot 22.
その後、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された紙幣の投入量(A)とリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納されている紙幣の収納量(B)との和が前述の設定量(C)を超えるような(すなわち、A+B>Cとなるような)金種の紙幣の少なくとも一部を、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27から紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡す引渡処理を行う。より具体的には、上述のような例では、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された紙幣の投入量(A)とリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納されている紙幣の収納量(B)との和が前述の設定量(C)を超えているのは五千円札である。このため、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣が全て一旦紙幣リジェクト口22に返却された後、図7Dに示すように、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納された五千円札の一部が搬送部25により紙幣保留部29に送られて保留される。その後、紙幣保留部29に保留された紙幣は自動的に紙幣収納カセット41に収納され、五千円札について引渡処理がなされる。
Thereafter, the amount (A) of bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and the amount of bills stored (B) stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27. Delivery process of delivering at least a part of banknotes of denomination whose sum exceeds the above-mentioned set amount (C) (that is, A + B> C) from each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 to the banknote storage cassette 41 I do. More specifically, in the above-described example, the amount (A) of bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and stored in the recyclable bill storage unit 27. It is a 5,000-yen bill that the sum of the stored bills (B) exceeds the set amount (C). For this reason, after all the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 21 are once returned to the banknote rejection slot 22, as shown in FIG. 7D, a part of the five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage section 27b It is sent to the banknote storage unit 29 by the transport unit 25 and held there. Thereafter, the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit 29 are automatically stored in the banknote storage cassette 41, and a delivery process is performed for the 5,000 yen bill.
より詳細には、制御部15は、上述のような引渡処理において、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された五千円札の投入量(A)とリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納されている紙幣の収納量(B)との和から前述の設定量(C)を減算した量(A+B-C)以上の五千円札を、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bから紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡すようになっている。より好ましくは、制御部15は、上述のような引渡処理において、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された五千円札の投入量(A)とリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納されている五千円札の収納量(B)との和から前述の設定量(C)を減算した量(A+B-Cの量)に等しい量の五千円札を、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bから紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡すようになっている。
More specifically, in the delivery process as described above, the control unit 15 recycles the input amount (A) of the 5,000-yen bill inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and the recycling. A recycle-type banknote storage unit for a 5,000-yen bill equal to or greater than the amount (A + BC) obtained by subtracting the set amount (C) from the sum of the banknote storage amount (B) stored in the banknote storage unit 27b 27b is delivered to the bill storage cassette 41. More preferably, in the delivery process as described above, the control unit 15 recycles the input amount (A) of the 5,000 yen bill that is inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26. Five thousand yen bills having an amount equal to the amount obtained by subtracting the above-mentioned set amount (C) from the sum of the five thousand yen bills stored in the banknote storage unit 27b (B) (A + BC) The recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 b is handed over to the banknote storage cassette 41.
具体的に説明すると、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27の紙幣の収納量が500枚であり、各金種の紙幣の設定量(C)が490枚であり、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された五千円札の投入量(A)が200枚であり、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納されている五千円札の収納量(B)が400枚である場合には、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納された400枚の五千円札のうち110枚(=200+400-490)の五千円札が紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡され、290枚の五千円札がリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに残ることとなる。
More specifically, the amount of banknotes stored in each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 is 500, the set amount (C) of banknotes of each denomination is 490, and from the banknote insertion slot 21 to the housing 11 The inserted amount (A) of five thousand yen bills inserted into the inside and counted by the identification unit 26 is 200, and the stored amount (B) of five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b is 400. In the case of a sheet, 110 (= 200 + 400-490) five thousand yen bills out of 400 five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b are handed over to the bill storage cassette 41, and 290 sheets 5,000 yen bills will remain in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b.
その後、操作者は紙幣リジェクト口22に返却された紙幣を再び紙幣投入口21に投入し、図7Aに示すような紙幣の入金処理を再び行う。この際に、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納された五千円札の一部が紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡されているので、2回目の入金処理においてリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納される紙幣の量は設定量と一致するようになる。より具体的には、2回目の入金処理が行われた後にリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納されている五千円札の枚数は490枚(=290+200)となり、この値は設定量(C)と一致する。このため、2回目の入金処理が行われた後に、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bにできる限り多くの紙幣を収納することができるようになる。また、紙幣の入金処理中にリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bがフルまたはニアフルとなっても、2回目の入金処理において入金された紙幣を一括してリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納することができる。
Thereafter, the operator inserts the banknote returned to the banknote reject port 22 into the banknote input port 21 again, and performs the banknote deposit process as shown in FIG. 7A again. At this time, since a part of the five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b is delivered to the banknote storage cassette 41, the banknotes stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b in the second deposit process. The amount of coincides with the set amount. More specifically, after the second deposit process, the number of five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b is 490 (= 290 + 200), and this value is the set amount (C). Matches. For this reason, after the second deposit process is performed, as many banknotes as possible can be stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b. Moreover, even if the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b becomes full or near full during the banknote deposit process, the banknotes deposited in the second deposit process can be collectively stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b.
なお、上述の例では、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27にそれぞれ異なる金種の紙幣が収納される態様について説明したが、1つの金種の紙幣が複数のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納される場合もある。以下、千円札が2つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納され、1万円札が残りのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27cに収納されるような態様について、図7Eおよび図7F等を用いて説明する。この場合、千円札に対応する設定量として、2つのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bを合わせた値、具体的には例えば980枚が設定されている。
In the above-described example, a mode in which different denominations of banknotes are stored in the respective recyclable banknote storage units 27 has been described. However, a single denomination banknote is stored in the plurality of recyclable banknote storage units 27. In some cases. Hereinafter, with respect to an aspect in which a thousand yen bill is stored in the two recyclable banknote storage units 27a and 27b and a 10,000 yen bill is stored in the remaining recyclable banknote storage unit 27c, FIGS. 7E and 7F are used. I will explain. In this case, as the set amount corresponding to the thousand yen bill, a value obtained by combining the two recyclable banknote storage units 27a and 27b, specifically, for example, 980 sheets is set.
1回目の入金処理を行う際に、例えばあるリサイクル式紙幣収納部27aにおいて収納された千円札がフルまたはニアフルの状態になると、その後に紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入された千円札は他のリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納されるようになる。その後、このリサイクル式紙幣収納部27bにおいて収納された千円札もフルまたはニアフルの状態となり、これらのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納された紙幣の合計の枚数が設定量を超えると、図7Eに示すように、少なくともこれらのリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに対応する金種の紙幣、すなわち千円札の搬送先をリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bから紙幣リジェクト口22に切り替える。
When the first deposit process is performed, for example, when a thousand-yen bill stored in a certain recycling-type banknote storage unit 27a becomes full or near-full, it is subsequently inserted into the housing 11 from the banknote slot 21. The thousand yen bill is stored in the other recyclable banknote storage unit 27b. After that, the thousand-yen bills stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b are also full or near full, and when the total number of banknotes stored in the recycle type banknote storage units 27a and 27b exceeds the set amount, As shown in FIG. 7E, the banknotes of denominations corresponding to at least these recycle type banknote storage units 27a and 27b, that is, the transport destination of the thousand yen bill, are switched from the recycle type banknote storage units 27a and 27b to the banknote reject port 22.
そして、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣が全て筐体11の内部に送られて識別部26により計数されると、図7Cに示すように、今回の入金処理において各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納された、計数済の紙幣を、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27から搬送部25に繰り出して紙幣リジェクト口22に返却する。このことにより、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣は全て一旦紙幣リジェクト口22に返却されることとなる。
When all the bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 are sent to the inside of the casing 11 and counted by the identification unit 26, as shown in FIG. The bills that have been counted are fed out from each recycle-type bill storage unit 27 to the transport unit 25 and returned to the bill reject port 22. As a result, all the bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 are once returned to the bill rejection slot 22.
その後、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された紙幣の投入量(A)とリサイクル式紙幣収納部27に収納されている紙幣の収納量(B)との和が前述の設定量(C)を超えるような(すなわち、A+B>Cとなるような)金種の紙幣の一部、すなわち千円札の少なくとも一部を、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bから紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡す引渡処理を行う。より具体的には、紙幣投入口21に投入された紙幣は全て一旦紙幣リジェクト口22に返却された後、図7Fに示すように、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納されている千円札の一部が搬送部25により紙幣保留部29に送られて保留される。その後、紙幣保留部29に保留された紙幣は自動的に紙幣収納カセット41に収納され、千円札について引渡処理がなされる。
Thereafter, the amount (A) of bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and the amount of bills stored (B) stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27. A part of a denomination of banknotes whose sum exceeds the above-mentioned set amount (C) (that is, A + B> C), that is, at least a part of a thousand yen bill, The delivery process of delivering from 27b to the banknote storage cassette 41 is performed. More specifically, after all the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 21 are once returned to the banknote rejection slot 22, as shown in FIG. 7F, the thousand yen stored in the recyclable banknote storage units 27a and 27b. A part of the bill is sent to the banknote storage unit 29 by the transport unit 25 and held there. Thereafter, the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit 29 are automatically stored in the banknote storage cassette 41, and a delivery process is performed for the thousand yen bill.
具体的に説明すると、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27の紙幣の収納量が500枚であり、千円札の設定量(C)が980枚であり、紙幣投入口21から筐体11の内部に投入され識別部26により計数された千円札の投入量(A)が800枚であり、各リサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納されている千円札の収納量(B)がそれぞれ400枚である場合には、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納されている合計800枚の千円札のうち620枚(=800+400+400-980)の千円札が紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡される。より詳細には、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27aに収納された400枚の千円札が全て紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡されるとともに、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27bに収納された400枚の千円札のうち220枚の紙幣が紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡され、180枚の千円札がリサイクル式紙幣収納部27aに残ることとなる。
More specifically, the storage amount of banknotes in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 is 500, the set amount (C) of a thousand yen bill is 980, and the bill insertion slot 21 enters the inside of the housing 11. The input amount (A) of 1000 yen bills inserted and counted by the identification unit 26 is 800, and the storage amounts (B) of 1000 yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage units 27a and 27b are 400 respectively. In the case of a single sheet, 620 (= 800 + 400 + 400-980) thousand yen bills out of a total of 800 thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage units 27a and 27b are delivered to the banknote storage cassette 41. More specifically, all of the 400 thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27a are handed over to the banknote storage cassette 41, and among the 400 thousand yen bills stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b. 220 banknotes are handed over to the banknote storage cassette 41, and 180 thousand yen bills remain in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27a.
その後、操作者は紙幣リジェクト口22に返却された紙幣を再び紙幣投入口21に投入し、図7Aに示すような紙幣の入金処理を再び行う。この際に、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納された千円札の一部が紙幣収納カセット41に引き渡されているので、2回目の入金処理においてリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納される紙幣の量は設定量と一致するようになる。より具体的には、2回目の入金処理が行われた後にリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納される千円札の枚数はそれぞれ490枚となり、これらの値は設定量(C)と一致する。このため、2回目の入金処理が行われた後に、リサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bにできる限り多くの紙幣を収納することができるようになる。また、紙幣の入金処理中にリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bがフルまたはニアフルとなっても、2回目の入金処理において入金された紙幣を一括してリサイクル式紙幣収納部27a、27bに収納することができる。
Thereafter, the operator inserts the banknote returned to the banknote reject port 22 into the banknote input port 21 again, and performs the banknote deposit process as shown in FIG. 7A again.
