Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus that is installed in a store and stores deposited banknotes and coins and divides into sales proceeds and change reserves, and in particular, supermarkets, shopping centers, pachinko stores, etc. Relates to a cash processing apparatus installed in a commercial facility.

Conventionally, a cash processing apparatus has transaction functions such as “cash withdrawal transaction”, “sales deposit transaction”, “settlement aggregation transaction”, and “collection transaction” described below.
<Change payment transaction>
The cash processing apparatus withdraws the change reserve stored in the recycle cassette (change storage unit) by performing a change payment transaction.
<Sales and payment transactions>
The cash processing apparatus stores the received cash in a recycle cassette as a change reserve by performing a sales deposit transaction.
The cash deposited in the cash processing apparatus at the time of the sales / payment transaction is the cash remaining in the cash register (banknotes and coins), that is, the cash including the sales and the remaining change. The cash processing device can calculate the total amount of sales (sales amount) by subtracting the total amount (withdrawal amount) withdrawn as change from the total amount of deposited cash (total amount of deposit).
<Checkout aggregation transaction>
The cash processing device keeps the cash for the total amount of withdrawals stored in the recycling cassette (the change storage unit) as change reserves, and the cash exceeding the total amount of withdrawals is used as sales. It is transported from the recycling cassette and stored in the sales collection cassette (sales storage unit).
The cash processing apparatus preferentially conveys a large amount of bills (10,000 yen bills) from the recycling cassette and stores it in a sales collection cassette (sales storage unit) at the time of this settlement and aggregation transaction.
<Collection transaction>
When the cash processing apparatus performs a collection transaction, the door of the cash processing apparatus that seals the recycling cassette and the sales collection cassette is unlocked. As a result, a collector such as a store manager can recover the sales money stored in the sales recovery cassette. The cash processing apparatus ends the transaction when an empty sales collection cassette is set by the collector.
After that, the collectr deposits the collected cash as sales to financial institutions.

  On the other hand, if “sales amount <0 yen” (sales amount not achieved) (step S106, No), the banknote discriminating unit 36 controls the destination of the correct bills to be the “fishing bill storage unit 31”. Notifying the unit 1, the control unit 1 causes the correct bills to be conveyed to the fishing bill storage unit 31 through the conveyance path 37, and stores the correct bills in the fishing bill storage unit 31 (step S 108). At this time, if the type of the banknote is a thousand yen ticket, it is stored in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311, and if it is a 5,000 yen ticket, it is stored in the five thousand yen ticket storage unit 312. For example, it is stored in the 10,000 yen ticket storage unit 313. Moreover, the control part 1 grasps | ascertains the money amount data based on the kind of banknote accommodated in the bill storage part 31 at this time.

Then, after the correct bill is stored in the bill storage unit 31 or the banknote sales storage unit 32 (after step S107 or step S108), the control unit 1 makes money amount data and storage location data based on the type of the banknote. To figure out. Thereby, the control part 1 performs a sales amount calculation process (step S109).
The control unit 1 adds the money amount data acquired from the banknote discrimination unit 36 to the total deposit amount data in the storage unit 2 and updates the total amount of the total deposit amount data (step S110). Further, the number data of each ticket type stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 (the number data of each thousand yen ticket, 5,000 yen ticket, and 10,000 yen ticket) and the number of each ticket type stored in the bill storage unit 31. The data (the number data of each of the 1,000 yen ticket, the 5,000 yen ticket, and the 10,000 yen ticket) is added to the stored number data of the storage unit 2 to update the total number of stored number data (step S111). As a result, the data on the number of bills stored in the thousand-yen coupon storage unit 311 and the number of sales of the ten thousand-yen tickets stored in the bill sales storage unit 32 are displayed. Ticket storage number data is stored in the storage unit 2. And the control part 1 complete | finishes a sales amount calculation process.

  Thereafter, the banknote discriminating unit 36 determines whether or not banknotes remain in the banknote detaining unit 35 (step S112). If they remain (step S112, Yes), the process returns to step S104 to acquire the banknotes. The banknotes are identified. On the other hand, if it does not remain (step S112, No), the banknote sales deposit process is terminated.

<Checkout aggregation processing>
By executing the “payment counting process”, banknotes and coins corresponding to the sales amount are stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 (FIG. 3) and the coin sales storage unit 46 (FIG. 2), and the sales amount is confirmed. To do.
The “settlement counting process” is a process that is also performed by a general cash processing apparatus except for a part of the process (exchange process), and will be briefly described (see FIGS. 1 to 3 as appropriate).

  This “payment calculation process” is a process that is executed before the “sales collection process” described above. As a result, the sales amount is finalized, and the “exchange process” described later is executed. The 1,000 yen ticket stored in the storage unit 31 and the 10,000 yen ticket stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 can be exchanged.

First, by selecting (inputting) “accounting aggregation” on the menu screen (FIG. 4), the control unit 1 controls the operation of each part of the cash processing apparatus 10 and executes “accounting aggregation processing”. To do.
The control unit 1 acquires the total deposit amount and the total withdrawal amount from the total deposit amount data and the total withdrawal data stored in the storage unit 2, and calculates the sales amount obtained by subtracting the total withdrawal amount from the total deposit amount. Further, the control unit 1 calculates the total amount of banknotes stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 from the stored number data stored in the storage unit 2. Then, the sales amount and the total amount of banknotes stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 are subtracted, and the number of banknote types and the number of coins by type of coins corresponding to the sales amount (the difference) are calculated. . Next, the calculated number of banknotes is transported from the fishery bill storage unit 31 to the banknote sales storage unit 32 via the banknote detention unit 35 and the banknote discrimination unit 36 on the transport path 37. Further, the calculated number of coins are transported from the dispensing hopper unit 45 to the coin sales storage unit 46 on the transport path 37. Thereby, the sum total of the banknote and coin accommodated in the banknote sales storage part 32 and the coin sales storage part 46 becomes the same amount as the sales amount, and sales are decided. Thereby, the settlement totaling process is completed. Thereafter, “exchange processing” is performed.

<Exchange processing>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the exchange processing operation performed by the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit according to the first embodiment, and FIGS. 7 to 12 are cash by the currency exchange processing operation performed by the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit according to the first embodiment. (See FIG. 3 as appropriate).
By executing this “exchange processing”, it is possible to exchange the thousand yen ticket stored in the bill storage unit 31 and the 10,000 yen ticket stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32.

First, when the sales amount is determined and the “payment counting process” is completed, the control unit 1 controls the operation of each unit of the cash processing apparatus 10 and executes the “exchange process”. Here, an explanation will be given of exchanging (changing) a 10,000 yen ticket and a thousand yen ticket. At this time, the number of 10,000 yen coupons to be exchanged (exchanged) is N, and the number of thousand yen coupons is 10 × N.
The control unit 1 obtains the data for the number of bills stored in the storage unit 2 (step S201, FIG. 6). The control unit 1 determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 10 × N) of thousand yen tickets are stored in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311 based on the data on the number of bills stored in the bill. Step S202, FIG. 6).
Here, if 10 × N thousand yen coupons are not stored (step S202, No), the exchange process is terminated.

On the other hand, if 10 × N thousand yen tickets are stored (step S202, Yes), the control unit 1 acquires the sales ticket storage number data stored in the storage unit 2 (step S203, FIG. 6). ). The control unit 1 determines whether or not N 10,000 yen tickets are stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 based on the sales ticket storage number data (step S204, FIG. 6).
Here, if N 10,000 yen coupons are not stored (step S204, No), the control unit 1 ends the exchange process.
On the other hand, if N 10,000 yen coupons are stored (step S204, Yes), the control unit 1 executes the next step S205. Hereinafter, the control unit 1 controls the drive roller of the conveyance path 37.

  At this time, the banknote stored in the cash processing apparatus 10 is in the initial position shown in FIG. 7. For example, 24 thousand yen coupons are stored in the thousand yen coupon storage unit 311, and five thousand It is assumed that six 5,000 yen coupons are stored in the yen ticket storage unit 312 and six 10,000 yen tickets are stored in the 10,000 yen ticket storage unit 313. In addition, it is assumed that the bill sales storage unit 32 stores six thousand yen tickets, six 5,000 yen tickets, and ten 10,000 yen tickets.

The control part 1 controls the conveyance path 37, and conveys the banknote accommodated in the banknote sales storage part 32 to the banknote storage part 34 (step S205, FIG. 6). As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, six thousand yen coupons, six five thousand yen coupons, and ten 10,000 yen coupons are stored in the banknote storage unit 34.
Next, the control unit 1 controls the conveyance path 37 to convey the thousand yen ticket stored in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311 to the banknote discrimination unit 36. The banknote discriminating unit 36 feeds out a predetermined number, in this case, 10 × N thousand yen bills, and transports them to the banking detainment unit 35 on the transport path 37 (step S206, FIG. 6). For example, assuming that the number of 10,000 yen tickets to be exchanged is N = 2, 20 thousand yen tickets are conveyed (FIG. 9).
The banknote discriminating unit 36 acquires banknotes (thousand-yen vouchers) one by one from the banknote detaining unit 35 and transports them to the banknote sales storage unit 32 on the transport path 37 (step S207, FIG. 6). Thereby, 20 thousand yen vouchers are stored in the banknote sales storage section 32 (FIG. 9).

  Next, controlled by the control unit 1, the transport path 37 transports the banknote stored in the banknote storage unit 34 to the banknote detention unit 35 via the banknote discrimination unit 36 (step S <b> 208, FIG. 6). Thereby, the banknote stored in the banknote storage part 34 is detained in the banknote detainment part 35 (FIG. 10). Thereafter, controlled by the control unit 1, the transport path 37 feeds out banknotes one by one from the banknote detaining unit 35 and transports them to the banknote discrimination unit 36. The banknote discriminating unit 36 discriminates the conveyed banknotes, and among the banknotes transported from the banknote detaining unit 35, transports N 10,000 yen tickets to the 10,000 yen ticket storage unit 313 on the transport path 37. Then, the other banknotes are transported to the banknote sales storage unit 32 through the transport path 37 (step S209, FIG. 6). In this example, since N = 2, two 10,000 yen coupons are conveyed (FIG. 11). Thereby, 26 thousand yen coupons, six 5,000 yen coupons, and eight 10,000 yen coupons are stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 (FIG. 12). Thus, the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 3 ends the exchange processing operation.

  As described above, according to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 3 according to the first embodiment, the sales proceeds are confirmed, and the 10 × N thousand yen coupons stored in the fishing bill storage unit 31 and the banknote sales storage unit 32 are stored. You can exchange N 10,000-yen tickets stored in the box.

<< Second Embodiment >>
In FIG. 13, the structure of 3 A of banknote depositing / withdrawing parts which concern on 2nd Embodiment is shown with a block diagram.
The bill deposit / withdrawal unit 3A according to the second embodiment further includes a detection unit 51 in the thousand yen bill storage unit 311 in the configuration of the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 3 according to the first embodiment, and is output from the detection unit 51. The control unit 1 </ b> A is configured to control the transport path 37 based on the signal.

(Detector 51)
The detection unit 51 is installed in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311, and outputs a signal to the control unit 1A when the number of thousand yen tickets stored in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311 reaches a predetermined condition. It is.
For example, it may be a thickness sensor that detects that the thickness of the stored banknote is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, or a weight sensor that measures the weight of the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311.

(Control unit 1A)
The control unit 1A is different from the control unit 1 according to the first embodiment in that it receives a signal from the detection unit 51 and executes “exchange processing” (see FIG. 6). Thereby, the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 3A according to the second embodiment automatically changes the thousand yen stored in the tag storage unit 31 according to the number of thousand yen coupons stored in the tag storage unit 31. The ticket and the 10,000 yen ticket stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 can be exchanged.

  The cash processing apparatus 10 including the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 3A according to the second embodiment having the above configuration can avoid storing banknotes exceeding the capacity of the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment, all banknotes stored in the banknote sales storage unit 32 are transported to the banknote storage unit 34, but need not be all. For example, if the control part 1 controls the conveyance path 37 so that it may convey the banknote of the number of sheets in which it is assumed that the 10,000 or more 10,000 yen ticket is mixed from the banknote sales storage part 32 to the banknote storage part 34, it is. Good. Or it is made to convey to the banknote storage part 34 via the banknote discrimination | determination part 36 from the banknote sales storage part 32, and the banknote discrimination part 36 counts that the 10,000 10,000 yen ticket was drawn | fed out from the banknote sales storage part 32. However, the conveyance may be stopped at that time.

  The banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 3A according to the second embodiment installs the detection unit 51 in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311 and manages the number of thousand yen tickets stored in the thousand yen ticket storage unit 311. However, the number of thousand yen coupons may be managed using the stored number data stored in the storage unit 2.

  In the embodiment, the control unit 1 controls the operation of each unit of the cash processing apparatus 10 by selecting (inputting) “accounting aggregation” by the user on the menu screen (FIG. 4). It is described that “exchange processing” is performed after the “processing” is executed and the settlement and aggregation processing is completed. However, the execution trigger for the currency exchange process does not necessarily have to be an instruction for “accounting”. For example, when the control unit 1 (1A) manages the number of thousand yen coupons using the stored number data stored in the storage unit 2 as described above, a thousand yen coupon exceeding a predetermined number is thousand yen. By storing in the ticket storage unit 311, the control unit 1 (1 </ b> A) controls the operation of each unit of the cash processing apparatus 10 in the same manner as when an instruction of “accounting and totaling” is input from the input unit 7 by the user. Then, the “exchange process” may be executed.

  Furthermore, in the “exchange processing” in the embodiment, the exchange of 10,000 yen and 1000 yen is performed. However, the exchange between 10,000 and 5000 yen, 5000 yen and 1000 yen, Can also be exchanged.
