Description

本発明は、装置の前面および後面に入出金部を有する両面取扱型の現金処理装置に用いる紙幣入出金機に関する。   The present invention relates to a banknote depositing / dispensing machine used for a double-sided cash processing apparatus having depositing / dispensing portions on the front and rear surfaces of the apparatus.

近年、小売業界の省力化の一環として、両面取扱型の自動精算機等の両面取扱型の現金処理装置(以下単に、現金処理装置という。)の導入が加速してきており、このような現金処理装置の小型化ニーズが高まってきている。   In recent years, as part of labor-saving in the retail industry, the introduction of double-sided cash processing devices (hereinafter simply referred to as cash processing devices) such as double-sided automatic payment machines has been accelerating. There is an increasing need for smaller devices.

また、このような現金処理装置が顧客操作型である場合には、折れや破れ、テープ貼付等のジャム発生を誘発する可能性を有する状態の悪い紙幣(ジャム誘発券という。)が投入されたとしても、紙幣ジャムが発生しないような紙幣搬送における高い信頼性が要求される。   Moreover, when such a cash processing apparatus is a customer operation type | mold, the bad banknote (it is called a jam induction ticket) which has the possibility of inducing generation | occurrence | production of jam, such as a folding, tearing, and tape sticking, was thrown in. Even so, high reliability in bill conveyance that bill jam is not generated is required.

従来の現金処理装置に設けられた紙幣入出金機は、装置の前面に配置されたシャッタを有する前面入出金部と、反対側の後面に配置されたシャッタを有する後面入出金部と、紙幣に対する各種の鑑別を行う鑑別部と、紙幣を収納する紙幣収納部を備え、前面入出金部および後面入出金部からそれぞれ延びる2つの専用搬送部の合流部から、共通搬送部および振分搬送部を経由して鑑別部に至る搬送路を設け、前面入出金部または後面入出金部から投入された紙幣を、その側の専用搬送部、合流部、共通搬送部および振分搬送部を経由して鑑別部へ搬送し、鑑別部でリジェクトされた紙幣は、前記の各搬送部を逆転させて、搬送元の入出金部へ返却している(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   A banknote depositing / dispensing machine provided in a conventional cash processing apparatus includes a front depositing / dispensing unit having a shutter disposed on the front surface of the apparatus, a rear depositing / dispensing unit having a shutter disposed on the rear surface on the opposite side, and a bill. A common conveyance part and a distribution conveyance part are provided from a confluence part of two exclusive conveyance parts which are provided with a discrimination part which performs various discriminations, and a bill storage part which stores bills, respectively extending from the front deposit / withdrawal part and the rear deposit / withdrawal part. The bank is inserted from the front deposit / withdrawal unit or the rear deposit / withdrawal unit via the dedicated conveyance unit, merge unit, common conveyance unit, and sorting conveyance unit on that side. The banknotes conveyed to the discrimination unit and rejected by the discrimination unit are reversed to the respective conveyance units and returned to the deposit / withdrawal unit of the conveyance source (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、上述した従来の技術においては、一方の入出金部に投入された紙幣を、その側の専用搬送部、合流部、共通搬送部および振分搬送部を経由して鑑別部へ搬送し、鑑別部でリジェクトされた紙幣は、前記の各搬送部を逆転させて、搬送元の入出金部へ返却しているため、入出金部から鑑別部に至る搬送路が長くなると共に複数の分岐部が存在し、投入された紙幣にジャム誘発券が含まれていた場合には、搬送路の分岐部に形成された曲り等により、紙幣ジャム等の搬送障害が発生する恐れがあり、紙幣搬送における高い信頼性を確保することが困難になるという問題がある。   However, in the above-described conventional technology, the bills inserted into one deposit / withdrawal unit are conveyed to the discrimination unit via the dedicated conveyance unit, the merge unit, the common conveyance unit, and the sorting conveyance unit on that side, Since the banknotes rejected by the discrimination section reverse the respective transport sections and return them to the deposit / withdrawal section of the transport source, the transport path from the deposit / withdrawal section to the discrimination section becomes longer and a plurality of branch sections If there is a jam-inducing ticket in the inserted banknote, there is a risk that a paper jam will occur due to a bend formed in the branch part of the transport path. There is a problem that it is difficult to ensure high reliability.

また、紙幣入出金機の小型化を図る場合には、必然的に搬送路は折畳んだような形態になり、曲り部が多くなって上記と同様の問題が生ずる。   In addition, when the bill depositing / dispensing machine is to be miniaturized, the conveyance path is inevitably formed in a folded form, and there are a large number of bent portions, resulting in the same problem as described above.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するために、前面に配置された前面入出金部と、前記前面の反対側の後面に配置された後面入出金部と、紙幣に対する各種の鑑別を行う鑑別部とを備えた紙幣入出金機において、前記前面入出金部と前記鑑別部との間、および前記後面入出金部と前記鑑別部との間を、それぞれ一直線の入出金部搬送路で接続したことを特徴とする。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a front deposit / withdrawal unit disposed on the front surface, a rear deposit / withdrawal unit disposed on the rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a discrimination unit for performing various discriminations on banknotes. In the banknote depositing / dispensing machine comprising: the front depositing / dispensing part and the discrimination part, and the rear depositing / dispensing part and the discrimination part being connected by a straight depositing / dispensing part conveyance path, respectively. Features.

これにより、本発明は、前面入出金部と鑑別部との間、および後面入出金部と鑑別部との間を、それぞれ直線かつ最短距離にして接続することができ、投入された紙幣にジャム誘発券が含まれていたとしても、鑑別部への搬送時やその逆方向への搬送時における紙幣ジャム等の搬送障害の発生を防止して、両面取扱型の紙幣入出金機の信頼性を高めることができると共に、当該ジャム誘発券を投入紙幣の取込処理の初期段階で予め除去することができ、その後の紙幣収納部等への搬送経路における曲り部の存在を許容して紙幣入出金機の小型化を図ることができるという効果が得られる。   Thus, the present invention can connect the front deposit / withdrawal unit and the discrimination unit and the rear deposit / withdrawal unit and the discrimination unit with a straight line and the shortest distance, respectively. Even if a trigger ticket is included, it prevents the occurrence of transport failures such as banknote jams when transporting to the identification part or when transporting in the opposite direction, and improves the reliability of the double-sided banknote depositing and dispensing machine. In addition, the jam-inducing ticket can be removed in advance in the initial stage of taking-in bills, allowing the presence of a bent portion in the transport path to the bill storage portion etc. The effect that the size of the machine can be reduced is obtained.

支払取引処理を開始した主制御部3は、取扱側と反対側(本説明では、後面側)の操作表示部5bの表示画面に、現金による支払を停止している旨の文言を表示した図11(b)に示す支払方法表示画面を表示して、非取扱側の後面入出金部14による支払取引処理の受付を停止すると共に、紙幣入出金機9の制御部11へ、取扱側の入出金部(本説明では、前面入出金部13)を指定した入金処理指令を送信する。   The main control unit 3 that has started the payment transaction processing displays a word indicating that payment by cash is stopped on the display screen of the operation display unit 5b on the side opposite to the handling side (the rear side in this description). The payment method display screen shown in FIG. 11 (b) is displayed to stop the reception of the payment transaction processing by the rear-side deposit / withdrawal unit 14 on the non-handling side, and to the control unit 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 9 A deposit processing command specifying the gold section (in this description, the front deposit / withdrawal section 13) is transmitted.

主制御部3からの処理指令等の着信を待って待機していた紙幣入出金機9の制御部11は、入金処理指令を受信したときに入金処理を開始し、指定された側、つまり前面側の前面入出金部13のシャッタ13dを開作動させて入出金口13aを開放し、利用者が前面入出金部13の入出金口13aから紙幣Pを投入すると、これを検知した制御部11は、所定の時間の経過後にシャッタ13dを閉作動させて入出金口13aを閉鎖し、投入された紙幣Pの入金処理における取込処理を開始する。   The control unit 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 9 waiting for an incoming processing command from the main control unit 3 starts the depositing process when receiving the depositing processing command, When the user inserts the banknote P from the deposit / withdrawal port 13a of the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 by opening the shutter 13d of the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 on the side to open the deposit / withdrawal port 13a, the control unit 11 detects this. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the shutter 13d is closed to close the deposit / withdrawal port 13a, and a take-in process in the deposit process of the inserted bill P is started.

取込処理を開始した制御部11は、前面入出金部13のステージ13cを上昇させて投入された紙幣Pを分離集積機構13bのピックアップローラに押圧し、分離集積機構13bを繰出方向へ回転させ、前面入出金部13の紙幣Pを1枚毎に分離して入出金部搬送路20aへ繰出し、前面入出金部13側の入出金部搬送路20a(図5に太い実線で示す前面入出金部13と鑑別部15との間の搬送経路参照)によって鑑別部15へ搬送し、鑑別部15によって当該紙幣Pの真偽や金種、および紙幣Pの折れや破れ、テープ貼付の有無、搬送異常の有無等を鑑別する。   The control unit 11 that has started the take-up process raises the stage 13c of the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 and presses the bill P inserted into the pickup roller of the separation / stacking mechanism 13b to rotate the separation / stacking mechanism 13b in the feeding direction. The banknotes P of the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 are separated one by one and fed to the deposit / withdrawal unit conveyance path 20a, and the deposit / withdrawal unit conveyance path 20a on the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 side (front deposit / withdrawal indicated by a thick solid line in FIG. 5) (Refer to the conveyance path between the section 13 and the discrimination section 15) to the discrimination section 15, and the discrimination section 15 verifies the authenticity and denomination of the banknote P, and whether the banknote P is folded or broken, whether or not the tape is applied, and transport Differentiate the presence or absence of abnormalities.

当該紙幣Pを鑑別した制御部11は、その鑑別結果が、真券である場合は、鑑別された金種を基に、記憶部12の収納金種設定情報を参照して搬送先の紙幣収納部16を特定し、後面入出金部14側の入出金部搬送路20bおよび収納搬送路20cによって、当該紙幣Pを特定した紙幣収納部16、つまり紙幣収納部16a〜16cに搬送し、その分離集積機構17によりステージ18上に集積して仮収納する(図5に太い実線で示す搬送経路参照)と共に、記憶部12の保留紙幣カウントエリアによって仮収納した紙幣Pの紙幣収納部16別の枚数および金種別の枚数を計数し、全ての投入紙幣を紙幣収納部16に仮収納したときに取込処理を終了させ、保留紙幣カウントエリアにより計数された金種別の枚数に基づいて取込まれた紙幣Pの合計金額を演算し、その合計金額等を添付した取込終了通知を主制御部3へ送信する。   The control part 11 which discriminate | determined the said banknote P refers to the accommodation money type setting information of the memory | storage part 12, based on the identified money type, when the discrimination result is a genuine note, the banknote accommodation of a conveyance destination The part 16 is specified, the banknote P is transported to the specified banknote storage part 16, that is, the banknote storage parts 16a to 16c, and separated by the deposit / withdrawal part transport path 20b and the storage transport path 20c on the rear deposit / withdrawal part 14 side. The stacking mechanism 17 collects and temporarily stores it on the stage 18 (see the transport path indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. 5), and the number of the banknotes P stored temporarily by the reserved banknote count area of the storage unit 12 for each banknote storage unit 16. And the number of denominations is counted, and when all inserted banknotes are temporarily stored in the banknote storage unit 16, the take-in process is terminated, and the banknotes are taken in based on the number of denominations counted by the reserved banknote count area. Banknote P It calculates the total amount, and transmits the acquisition completion notification attach the total amount of money to the main control unit 3.

このように、本実施例の前面入出金部13を用いた入金処理においては、各紙幣収納部16が、一時保留部、つまり利用者が投入した紙幣Pをそのまま利用者に返却するための取込紙幣の集積部として機能する。   Thus, in the depositing process using the front depositing / dispensing unit 13 of the present embodiment, each bill storage unit 16 returns a temporary holding unit, that is, a bill for returning the bill P inserted by the user to the user as it is. It functions as a stacking unit for banknotes.

取込終了通知を受信した主制御部3は、操作表示部5aの表示画面に、取込終了通知の合計金額等や、入金金額の確定を指示するための「確認」ボタン、投入した紙幣Pの返却を指示するための「返却」ボタン等を表示した入金金額確認画面を表示する。   The main control unit 3 that has received the capture end notification displays on the display screen of the operation display unit 5a a total amount of the capture end notification, a “confirm” button for instructing confirmation of the deposit amount, and the inserted bill P Display a deposit amount confirmation screen displaying a “return” button and the like for instructing the return.

主制御部3は、利用者が「確認」ボタンを押下したことを認識した場合は、入金金額が確定されたと判定して、制御部11へ入金処理における収納処理指令を送信する。   When the main control unit 3 recognizes that the user has pressed the “confirm” button, the main control unit 3 determines that the deposit amount has been confirmed, and transmits a storage processing command in the deposit process to the control unit 11.

また、主制御部3は、利用者が「返却」ボタンを押下したことを認識した場合は、制御部11へ入金処理における返却処理指令を送信する。   Further, when the main control unit 3 recognizes that the user has pressed the “return” button, the main control unit 3 transmits a return process command in the deposit process to the control unit 11.

取込終了通知の送信後に、主制御部3からの収納処理指令または返却処理指令の着信を待って待機していた制御部11は、主制御部3からの収納処理指令を受信した場合は、各紙幣収納部16に仮収納した紙幣Pをそのまま残留させ、記憶部12の保留紙幣カウントエリアにより計数された紙幣収納庫16別の枚数を、収納枚数カウントエリアのカウント数にそれぞれ加えて紙幣収納部16別の収納枚数を更新し、保留紙幣カウントエリアのカウント数を「0」に初期化し、収納終了通知を主制御部3へ送信して入金処理を終了させる。   After transmitting the capture end notification, the control unit 11 waiting for the receipt of the storage processing command or the return processing command from the main control unit 3 receives the storage processing command from the main control unit 3, The banknote P temporarily stored in each banknote storage unit 16 is left as it is, and the banknote storage 16 is added to the count of the banknote storage 16 counted by the reserved banknote count area of the storage unit 12 to store the banknotes. The number of stored sheets for each section 16 is updated, the count number of the reserved banknote count area is initialized to “0”, a storage end notification is transmitted to the main control section 3 and the deposit process is terminated.

収納終了通知を受信した主制御部3は、操作表示部5a、5bの表示画面にそれぞれ図11(a)に示す支払方法選択画面を表示して後面入出金部14による支払取引処理の受付停止を解除し、利用者が給油を終了させるのを待って待機する。   The main control unit 3 that has received the storage end notification displays the payment method selection screen shown in FIG. 11A on the display screens of the operation display units 5a and 5b, and stops accepting payment transaction processing by the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14. And waits for the user to finish refueling.

また、返却処理指令を受信した制御部11は、記憶部12の保留紙幣カウントエリアを参照して、仮収納した紙幣Pの紙幣収納部16別の仮収納枚数を認識し、収納金種設定情報を参照しながら、各紙幣収納部16、つまり紙幣収納部16a〜16cから認識した仮収納枚数分の紙幣Pを順次に繰出し、保留紙幣カウントエリアの紙幣収納部16別の仮収納枚数を順次に減算しながら、収納搬送路20c、後面入出金部14側の入出金部搬送路20b、鑑別部15、前面入出金部13側の入出金部搬送路20aによって、前面入出金部13へ搬送し、その分離集積機構13bによって下降させたステージ13c上に集積し、保留紙幣カウントエリアの仮収納枚数が全て「0」、つまり紙幣収納部16を一時保留部として機能させ、そこに仮収納した紙幣Pを全て搬送元の前面入出金部13へ集積したときに、保留紙幣カウントエリアの金種別の枚数を「0」に初期化し、取扱側の前面入出金部13に返却紙幣を集積した旨を添付した返却紙幣集積通知を主制御部3へ送信すると共にシャッタ13dを開作動させて入出金口13aを開放する。   Moreover, the control part 11 which received return process instruction | command refers to the pending | holding banknote count area of the memory | storage part 12, recognizes the temporary storage number according to the banknote storage part 16 of the temporarily stored banknote P, and storage denomination setting information , The banknotes P corresponding to the number of temporary storages recognized from the banknote storage units 16, that is, the banknote storage units 16a to 16c, are sequentially fed out, and the temporary storage numbers of the banknote storage units 16 in the reserved banknote count area are sequentially set. While subtracting, it is conveyed to the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 through the storage conveyance path 20c, the deposit / withdrawal unit conveyance path 20b on the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 side, the discrimination unit 15 and the deposit / withdrawal unit conveyance path 20a on the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 side. Are stacked on the stage 13c lowered by the separation and stacking mechanism 13b, and all the temporarily stored sheets in the reserved banknote count area are “0”, that is, the banknote storage section 16 functions as a temporary storage section, and temporarily stored there. When all the banknotes P are accumulated in the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 of the transport source, the number of denominations in the reserved bill count area is initialized to “0”, and the returned bills are accumulated in the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 on the handling side. A return bill accumulation notification with a message to that effect is transmitted to the main control unit 3 and the shutter 13d is opened to open the deposit / withdrawal port 13a.

返却紙幣集積通知を受信した主制御部3は、紙幣Pを返却する旨の文言を表示した紙幣返却画面を操作表示部5aの表示画面に表示する。   The main control unit 3 that has received the return banknote collection notification displays a banknote return screen on which a message to the effect that the banknote P is returned is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 5a.

そして、制御部11は、利用者が前面入出金部13内の返却紙幣を取出したことを確認しシャッタ13dを閉作動させて入出金口13aを閉鎖し、主制御部3へ返却終了通知を送信して入金処理を終了させる。   And the control part 11 confirms that the user took out the return banknote in the front depositing / withdrawing part 13, closes the shutter 13d and closes the deposit / withdrawal port 13a, and notifies the main control part 3 of the return completion. Send and finish the deposit process.

返却終了通知を受信した主制御部3は、支払取引処理を終了させ、操作表示部5a、5bの表示画面にそれぞれ図11(a)に示す支払方法選択画面を表示して後面入出金部14による支払取引処理の受付停止を解除し、利用者による選択ボタンの押下を待って待機する。   The main control unit 3 that has received the return completion notification terminates the payment transaction process, displays the payment method selection screen shown in FIG. 11A on the display screens of the operation display units 5a and 5b, and displays the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 Release the payment transaction processing stop by, and wait for the user to press the selection button.

上記した取込処理の実行中に、鑑別部15で鑑別した当該紙幣Pの鑑別結果が、偽券や外国紙幣、旧紙幣等のために金種不明と鑑別された紙幣P、折れや破れ、テープ貼付の過度の存在によってジャム誘発券と鑑別された紙幣P、および重送等による搬送異常と鑑別された紙幣Pの場合は、これを入金時のリジェクト紙幣(入金リジェクト紙幣という。)として当該紙幣Pを利用者に返却するために、入出金部搬送路20aを逆転させて前記の逆方向、つまり鑑別部15から搬送元の前面入出金部13の方向へ搬送し(繰出済みの後続紙幣を含む。)、分離集積機構13bによって下降させたステージ13c上に集積する。   During execution of the above-described capture process, the discrimination result of the banknote P identified by the discrimination unit 15 is a banknote P, which has been identified as an unknown denomination for a fake ticket, a foreign banknote, an old banknote, or the like, In the case of the banknote P discriminated from a jam-inducing ticket due to excessive tape application and the banknote P discriminated from an abnormal conveyance due to double feeding or the like, this is referred to as a reject banknote at the time of deposit (referred to as a deposit reject banknote). In order to return the banknote P to the user, the deposit / withdrawal section transport path 20a is reversed and transported in the reverse direction, that is, from the discrimination section 15 toward the front deposit / withdrawal section 13 of the transport source (the subsequent banknote that has been fed out). ), And is accumulated on the stage 13c lowered by the separation and accumulation mechanism 13b.

このとき、本実施例の入出金部搬送路20aは、鑑別部15と前面入出金部13との間を一直線にして最短距離で接続しているので、当該紙幣Pがジャム誘発券であったとしても、鑑別部15への搬送時やその逆方向への搬送時に紙幣ジャム等の搬送障害が発生することはなく、当該ジャム誘発券を正常に搬送し前面入出金部13に集積して利用者に返却することが可能になる。   At this time, since the depositing / dispensing part conveyance path 20a of the present embodiment is connected at the shortest distance with the discrimination part 15 and the front depositing / dispensing part 13 in a straight line, the bill P is a jam induction ticket. However, there will be no troubles such as banknote jam when transporting to the discrimination unit 15 or when transporting in the opposite direction, and the jam-inducing ticket will be transported normally and accumulated in the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 for use. Can be returned to the person.

また、投入された紙幣にジャム誘発券が含まれていたとしても、直線かつ最短距離で接続した入出金部搬送路20aによって、当該ジャム誘発券を取込処理の初期段階で予め除去するので、その後の紙幣収納部16等への搬送経路に曲り部が存在したとしても、ジャム紙幣等の搬送障害の発生を防止することができ、紙幣収納部16等への搬送経路の自由度を向上させて、紙幣入出金機9の小型化を図ることができる。   Moreover, even if the inserted bill contains a jam-inducing ticket, the jam-inducing ticket is removed in advance at the initial stage of the take-in process by the depositing / dispensing part conveyance path 20a connected in a straight line and the shortest distance. Even if there is a bent portion in the subsequent conveyance path to the banknote storage unit 16 or the like, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a conveyance failure such as a jam banknote, and to improve the degree of freedom of the conveyance path to the banknote storage unit 16 or the like. Thus, the bill depositing and dispensing machine 9 can be downsized.

入金リジェクト紙幣を前面入出金部13に集積した制御部11は、当該紙幣Pの鑑別結果を添付した入金リジェクト紙幣返却通知を主制御部3へ送信すると共にシャッタ13dを開作動させて入出金口13aを開放する。   The control unit 11 that accumulates the deposit reject banknotes in the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 transmits a deposit reject banknote return notification attached with the discrimination result of the banknotes P to the main control unit 3 and opens the shutter 13d to open the deposit / withdrawal port. 13a is opened.

入金リジェクト紙幣返却通知を受信した主制御部3は、図12に示すリジェクト紙幣返却画面を操作表示部5aの表示画面に表示する。   The main control unit 3 that has received the deposit reject banknote return notification displays the reject banknote return screen shown in FIG. 12 on the display screen of the operation display unit 5a.

リジェクト紙幣返却画面には、チェックボックスに対応させてリジェクト紙幣の種類および返却後の処置等が記載されており、主制御部3は添付された鑑別結果が、折れや重送等の場合は、図12(a)に示すように、上側のチェックボックスにレ点を付し、その記載内容を枠で囲って強調表示したリジェクト紙幣返却画面を表示する。   On the reject banknote return screen, the type of reject banknote and the treatment after return are described in correspondence with the check box, and the main control unit 3 indicates that the attached discrimination result is fold or double feed, As shown to Fig.12 (a), a check mark is attached | subjected to the upper check box, and the rejection banknote return screen which surrounded and highlighted the description content is displayed.

入金リジェクト紙幣返却通知の送信後に、制御部11は紙幣Pの再投入を待って待機し、紙幣Pの取出し後に再び紙幣Pの投入を検知したときに、取込再開通知を主制御部3へ送信し、シャッタ13dを閉作動させ入出金口13aを閉鎖して紙幣Pの取込処理を再開させる。取込再開通知を受信した主制御部3は支払取引処理を継続させる。   After transmitting the deposit reject banknote return notification, the control unit 11 waits for the reinsertion of the banknote P, and when the banknote P is detected again after the banknote P is taken out, a resumption notification is sent to the main control unit 3. Then, the shutter 13d is closed to close the deposit / withdrawal port 13a, and the bill P taking-in process is restarted. The main control unit 3 that has received the take-in resume notification continues the payment transaction process.

一方、確定された入金紙幣の紙幣収納庫16への収納後に、利用者が給油を終了させるのを待って待機していた現金処理装置1の主制御部3は、給油装置2またはPOS端末等の上位装置から代金(本実施例では、ガソリン代等)を添付した代金精算要求を受信すると、取扱側と反対側(本説明では、後面側)の操作表示部5bの表示画面に図11(b)に示す支払方法表示画面を表示して、非取扱側の後面入出金部14による支払取引処理の受付を停止すると共に、上記で確定された入金金額から代金精算要求の代金を減じて釣銭額を算出し、釣銭の出金が必要な場合は出金取引処理を開始し、紙幣入出金機9の制御部11へ釣銭額を添付した出金処理指令を送信する。   On the other hand, the main control unit 3 of the cash processing apparatus 1 waiting for the user to finish refueling after storing the confirmed deposited banknote in the banknote storage 16 is the refueling apparatus 2 or the POS terminal. 11 is received on the display screen of the operation display section 5b on the side opposite to the handling side (the rear side in this description) (see FIG. 11). b) Display the payment method display screen shown in b), stop accepting payment transaction processing by the back-and-forth deposit / withdrawal unit 14 on the non-handling side, and subtract the price for the payment settlement request from the deposit amount determined above. The amount is calculated, and when a change is required to be withdrawn, a withdrawal transaction process is started, and a withdrawal process command with the change amount attached is transmitted to the control unit 11 of the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 9.

出金処理指令を受信した制御部11は、出金処理を開始して出金処理指令の釣銭額を構成する金種別の内訳枚数を算出し、記憶部12の収納金種設定情報を参照して各紙幣収納部16、つまり釣銭金種の紙幣Pが収納されている紙幣収納部16a、16bから算出した内訳枚数分の紙幣Pを順次に繰出し、収納紙幣カウントエリアの紙幣収納部16別の収納枚数を順次に減算しながら、収納搬送路20c、後面入出金部14側の入出金部搬送路20bにより鑑別部15へ搬送し(図6に太い実線で示す搬送経路参照)、鑑別部15によって当該出金紙幣の真偽や金種、搬送異常の有無等を鑑別する。   Upon receiving the withdrawal processing command, the control unit 11 starts the withdrawal processing, calculates the breakdown number of money types constituting the change amount of the withdrawal processing command, and refers to the stored money type setting information in the storage unit 12. The banknotes P are sequentially fed out from the banknote storage units 16, that is, the banknote storage units 16 a and 16 b in which the banknotes P of the denomination denomination are stored. While sequentially subtracting the number of stored sheets, the sheet is transported to the discrimination section 15 by the storage transport path 20c and the deposit / withdrawal section transport path 20b on the rear deposit / withdrawal section 14 side (see the transport path indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. 6). Is used to discriminate the authenticity and denomination of the withdrawal banknote, the presence or absence of conveyance abnormality, and the like.

当該出金紙幣を鑑別した制御部11は、その鑑別結果が真券である場合は、鑑別された金種を基に出金金額を計数しながら、前面入出金部13側の入出金部搬送路20a(図6に太い実線で示す鑑別部15と前面入出金部13との間の搬送経路参照)によって、取扱側の前面入出金部13へ搬送し、その分離集積機構13bによって下降させたステージ13c上に集積する。   The control part 11 which discriminate | determined the said withdrawal banknote is the deposit / withdrawal part conveyance by the front depositing / withdrawing part 13 side, counting the amount of withdrawal based on the identified money type, when the discrimination result is a genuine note. It is conveyed to the front-side deposit / withdrawal unit 13 on the handling side by the path 20a (refer to the conveyance path between the discrimination unit 15 and the front-side deposit / withdrawal unit 13 shown by a thick solid line in FIG. 6) and is lowered by the separation and accumulation mechanism 13b.

入金リジェクト紙幣返却通知の送信後に、制御部11は紙幣Pの再投入を待って待機し、紙幣Pの取出し後に再び紙幣Pの投入を検知したときに、取込再開通知を主制御部3へ送信し、シャッタ14dを閉作動させ入出金口14aを閉鎖して紙幣Pの取込処理を再開させる。取込再開通知を受信した主制御部3は支払取引処理を継続させる。   After transmitting the deposit reject banknote return notification, the control unit 11 waits for the reinsertion of the banknote P, and when the banknote P is detected again after the banknote P is taken out, a resumption notification is sent to the main control unit 3. Then, the shutter 14d is closed, the deposit / withdrawal port 14a is closed, and the bill P taking-in process is restarted. The main control unit 3 that has received the take-in resume notification continues the payment transaction process.

一方、確定された入金紙幣の紙幣収納庫16への収納後に、利用者が給油を終了させるのを待って待機していた現金処理装置1の主制御部3は、上位装置から代金を添付した代金精算要求を受信すると、取扱側と反対側(本説明では、前面側)の操作表示部5aの表示画面に図11(b)に示す支払方法表示画面を表示して、非取扱側の後面入出金部14による支払取引処理の受付を停止すると共に、上記前面入出金部13を用いた場合の出金取引処理と同様にして、紙幣入出金機9の制御部11へ、釣銭額を添付した出金処理指令を送信する。   On the other hand, the main control part 3 of the cash processing apparatus 1 which waited for the user to finish refueling after storing the confirmed deposit banknote in the banknote storage 16 attached a price from the host apparatus. When the payment settlement request is received, the payment method display screen shown in FIG. 11B is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 5a on the opposite side (front side in this description), and the rear side of the non-handling side The acceptance of the payment transaction process by the deposit / withdrawal unit 14 is stopped, and the change amount is attached to the control unit 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 9 in the same manner as the withdrawal transaction process when the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 is used. The withdrawal processing command is sent.

出金処理指令を受信した制御部11は、出金処理を開始して出金処理指令の釣銭額を構成する金種別の内訳枚数を算出し、記憶部12の収納金種設定情報を参照して各紙幣収納部16、つまり釣銭金種の紙幣Pが収納されている紙幣収納部16a、16bから算出した内訳枚数分の紙幣Pを順次に繰出し、収納紙幣カウントエリアの紙幣収納部16別の収納枚数を順次に減算しながら、収納搬送路20c、後面入出金部14側の入出金部搬送路20bより鑑別部15へ搬送し(図9に太い実線で示す搬送経路参照)、鑑別部15によって当該出金紙幣の真偽や金種、搬送異常の有無等を鑑別する。   Upon receiving the withdrawal processing command, the control unit 11 starts the withdrawal processing, calculates the breakdown number of money types constituting the change amount of the withdrawal processing command, and refers to the stored money type setting information in the storage unit 12. The banknotes P are sequentially fed out from the banknote storage units 16, that is, the banknote storage units 16 a and 16 b in which the banknotes P of the denomination denomination are stored. While sequentially subtracting the number of stored sheets, the sheet is conveyed from the storage conveyance path 20c and the deposit / withdrawal section conveyance path 20b on the rear depositing / dispensing section 14 side to the discrimination section 15 (see the conveyance path indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. 9). Is used to discriminate the authenticity and denomination of the withdrawal banknote, the presence or absence of conveyance abnormality, and the like.

当該出金紙幣を鑑別した制御部11は、その鑑別結果が真券である場合は、鑑別された金種を基に出金金額を計数しながら、前面入出金部13側の入出金部搬送路20a(図9に太い実線で示す鑑別部15と前面入出金部13との間の搬送経路参照)によって、前面入出金部13へ搬送し、その分離集積機構13bによって下降させたステージ13c上に集積する。   The control part 11 which discriminate | determined the said withdrawal banknote is the deposit / withdrawal part conveyance by the front depositing / withdrawing part 13 side, counting the amount of withdrawal based on the identified money type, when the discrimination result is a genuine note. On the stage 13c, which is conveyed to the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 by the path 20a (refer to the conveyance path between the discrimination unit 15 and the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 shown by a thick solid line in FIG. 9) and lowered by the separation and accumulation mechanism 13b. Accumulate in

また、当該出金紙幣の鑑別結果が、出金リジェクト紙幣の場合は、この出金リジェクト紙幣を入出金部搬送路20a、リジェクト搬送路20d(図9に太い実線で示す鑑別部15と出金リジェクト部19との間の搬送経路参照)によって、出金リジェクト部19へ搬送し、その集積機構19aによって出金リジェクト部19内に収納する。   Further, in the case where the discrimination result of the withdrawal banknote is a withdrawal reject banknote, the withdrawal banknote is sent to the deposit / withdrawal section transport path 20a, the reject transport path 20d (the discrimination section 15 and the withdrawal shown by a thick solid line in FIG. 9). Then, the sheet is conveyed to the withdrawal rejection unit 19 and stored in the withdrawal rejection unit 19 by the stacking mechanism 19a.

そして、鑑別部15で鑑別、計数した出金金額が釣銭額と一致したときに、前面入出金部13への出金紙幣の集積を停止し、ステージ13cを上昇させて分離集積機構13bにより前面入出金部13に集積されている出金紙幣を1枚毎に分離して繰出し、前面入出金部13側の入出金部搬送路20a、鑑別部15、後面入出金部14側の入出金部搬送路20bを経由した搬送経路(図10に太い実線で示す前面入出金部13と後面入出金部14との間の搬送経路参照)によって、取扱側の後面入出金部14へ搬送し、その分離集積機構14bによって下降させたステージ14c上に集積し、前面入出金部13に集積した出金紙幣を全て後面入出金部14へ集積したときに、取扱側の後面入出金部14に出金紙幣を集積した旨を添付した出金紙幣集積通知を主制御部3へ送信すると共にシャッタ14dを開作動させて入出金口14aを開放する。   And when the amount of money withdrawn and counted by the discrimination unit 15 coincides with the amount of change, the collection of the banknotes withdrawn to the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 is stopped, the stage 13c is raised, and the separation and accumulation mechanism 13b The withdrawal banknotes accumulated in the deposit / withdrawal unit 13 are separated and fed one by one, and the deposit / withdrawal unit conveyance path 20a on the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 side, the discrimination unit 15, and the deposit / withdrawal unit on the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 side.

入金リジェクト紙幣返却通知を受信した主制御部3は、上記実施例1の入金リジェクト紙幣の返却時と同様にして、図12に示すリジェクト紙幣返却画面を操作表示部5aの表示画面に表示する。   The main control unit 3 that has received the deposit reject banknote return notification displays the reject banknote return screen shown in FIG. 12 on the display screen of the operation display unit 5a in the same manner as when the deposit reject banknote of Example 1 is returned.

入金リジェクト紙幣返却通知の送信後に、制御部11は紙幣Pの再投入を待って待機し、紙幣Pの取出し後に再び紙幣Pの投入を検知したときに、取込再開通知を主制御部3へ送信し、シャッタ13dを閉作動させ入出金口13aを閉鎖して紙幣Pの取込処理を再開させる。取込再開通知を受信した主制御部3は支払取引処理を継続させる。   After transmitting the deposit reject banknote return notification, the control unit 11 waits for the reinsertion of the banknote P, and when the banknote P is detected again after the banknote P is taken out, a resumption notification is sent to the main control unit 3. Then, the shutter 13d is closed to close the deposit / withdrawal port 13a, and the bill P taking-in process is restarted. The main control unit 3 that has received the take-in resume notification continues the payment transaction process.

本実施例の主制御部3および制御部11による前面入出金部13への、図16に太い実線で示す搬送経路を用いた出金処理の作動は、上記実施例1の前面入出金部13を用いた場合の図6に太い実線で示す搬送経路による出金処理の作動と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。   The operation of the dispensing process using the conveyance path shown by the thick solid line in FIG. 16 to the front depositing / dispensing unit 13 by the main control unit 3 and the control unit 11 of the present embodiment is the front depositing / dispensing unit 13 of the first embodiment. 6 is the same as the operation of the withdrawal process by the conveyance path indicated by the thick solid line in FIG.

このようにして、前面入出金部13を用いた本実施例の支払取引処理が実行される。   In this way, the payment transaction process of this embodiment using the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 is executed.

次に、利用者が後面側の操作表示部5bから「現金」ボタンを押下した場合における本実施例の後面入出金部14を用いた支払取引処理について、図17ないし図19を用いて説明する。   Next, payment transaction processing using the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 of this embodiment when the user presses the “cash” button from the operation display unit 5b on the rear side will be described with reference to FIGS. .

本実施例の主制御部3および制御部11による、後面入出金部14から一時保留部として機能させる前面入出金部13への、図17に太い実線で示す搬送経路を用いた取込処理の作動(入出金部搬送路20bを逆転させた入金リジェクト紙幣の後面入出金部14への返却の作動を含む。)は、上記実施例1の後面入出金部14を用いた場合の図7に太い実線で示す搬送経路による取込処理の作動と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。   The main control unit 3 and the control unit 11 of the present embodiment use the transfer path indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. 17 from the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 to the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 that functions as a temporary storage unit. The operation (including the operation of returning the deposit reject banknote to the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 with the deposit / withdrawal unit conveyance path 20b reversed) is shown in FIG. 7 when the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 of the first embodiment is used. Since it is the same as that of the taking-in process by the conveyance path | route shown by a thick continuous line, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

本実施例の主制御部3および本実施例の制御部11による、一時保留部として機能させた前面入出金部13から紙幣収納部16への、図18に太い実線で示す搬送経路を用いた収納処理の作動は、上記実施例1の後面入出金部14を用いた場合の図8に太い実線で示す搬送経路による収納処理の作動と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。   A transport path indicated by a thick solid line in FIG. 18 from the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 functioning as a temporary storage unit to the bill storage unit 16 by the main control unit 3 of the present example and the control unit 11 of the present example was used. The operation of the storage process is the same as the operation of the storage process by the conveyance path indicated by the thick solid line in FIG. 8 when the rear deposit / withdrawal unit 14 of the first embodiment is used, and the description thereof is omitted.

一方、確定された入金紙幣の紙幣収納庫16への収納後に、利用者が給油を終了させるのを待って待機していた現金処理装置1の主制御部3は、上位装置から代金を添付した代金精算要求を受信すると、取扱側と反対側(本説明では、前面側)の操作表示部5aの表示画面に図11(b)に示す支払方法表示画面を表示して、非取扱側の後面入出金部14による支払取引処理の受付を停止すると共に、上記実施例1の前面入出金部13を用いた場合の出金取引処理と同様にして、紙幣入出金機9の制御部11へ、釣銭額を添付した出金処理指令を送信する。   On the other hand, the main control part 3 of the cash processing apparatus 1 which waited for the user to finish refueling after storing the confirmed deposit banknote in the banknote storage 16 attached a price from the host apparatus. When the payment settlement request is received, the payment method display screen shown in FIG. 11B is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 5a on the opposite side (front side in this description), and the rear side of the non-handling side While stopping acceptance of the payment transaction process by the deposit / withdrawal unit 14, to the control unit 11 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 9 in the same manner as the withdrawal transaction process in the case of using the front deposit / withdrawal unit 13 of the first embodiment, A withdrawal processing instruction with the amount of change attached is transmitted.

出金処理指令を受信した制御部11は、出金処理を開始して出金処理指令の釣銭額を構成する金種別の内訳枚数を算出し、記憶部12の収納金種設定情報を参照して、各紙幣収納部16、つまり釣銭金種の紙幣Pが収納されている紙幣収納部16a、16bから算出した内訳枚数分の紙幣Pを順次に繰出し、収納紙幣カウントエリアの紙幣収納部16別の収納枚数を順次に減算しながら、収納搬送路20c、後面入出金部14側の入出金部搬送路20bより鑑別部15へ搬送し(図19に太い実線で示す搬送経路参照)、鑑別部15によって当該出金紙幣の真偽や金種、搬送異常の有無等を鑑別する。   Upon receiving the withdrawal processing command, the control unit 11 starts the withdrawal processing, calculates the breakdown number of money types constituting the change amount of the withdrawal processing command, and refers to the stored money type setting information in the storage unit 12. Thus, the banknotes P for the breakdown number calculated from the banknote storage units 16, that is, the banknote storage units 16 a and 16 b storing the banknotes P of the change denomination are sequentially fed out, and the banknote storage units 16 in the storage banknote count area are separated. While sequentially subtracting the number of stored sheets, the sheet is conveyed from the storage conveyance path 20c and the deposit / withdrawal section conveyance path 20b on the rear depositing / dispensing section 14 side to the discrimination section 15 (see the conveyance path indicated by a thick solid line in FIG. 19), and the discrimination section 15 is used to identify the authenticity and denomination of the withdrawal banknote, whether or not there is a conveyance abnormality, and the like.

当該出金紙幣を鑑別した制御部11は、その鑑別結果が真券である場合は、鑑別された金種を基に出金金額を計数しながら、前面入出金部13側の入出金部搬送路20a、後面入出金搬送路20e(図19に太い実線で示す鑑別部15と後面入出金部14との間の搬送経路参照)によって、取扱側の後面入出金部14へ搬送し、その分離集積機構14bによって下降させたステージ14c上に集積する。   The control part 11 which discriminate | determined the said withdrawal banknote is the deposit / withdrawal part conveyance by the front depositing / withdrawing part 13 side, counting the amount of withdrawal based on the identified money type, when the discrimination result is a genuine note. It is transported to the rear-side deposit / withdrawal unit 14 on the handling side by the path 20a and the rear-side deposit / withdrawal conveyance path 20e (refer to the transport path between the discrimination unit 15 and the rear-side deposit / withdrawal unit 14 shown by a thick solid line in FIG. 19) and separated. It accumulates on the stage 14c lowered by the accumulation mechanism 14b.

また、当該出金紙幣の鑑別結果が、出金リジェクト紙幣の場合は、この出金リジェクト紙幣を入出金部搬送路20a、リジェクト搬送路20d(図19に太い実線で示す鑑別部15と出金リジェクト部19との間の搬送経路参照)によって、出金リジェクト部19へ搬送し、その集積機構19aによって出金リジェクト部19内に収納する。   Further, when the discrimination result of the withdrawal banknote is a withdrawal reject banknote, the withdrawal reject banknote is transferred to the deposit / withdrawal section transport path 20a, the reject transport path 20d (the discrimination section 15 and the withdrawal shown by a thick solid line in FIG. 19). Then, the sheet is conveyed to the withdrawal rejection unit 19 and stored in the withdrawal rejection unit 19 by the stacking mechanism 19a.

そして、鑑別部15で鑑別、計数した出金金額が釣銭額と一致したときに、取扱側の後面入出金部14に出金紙幣を集積した旨を添付した出金紙幣集積通知を主制御部3へ送信すると共にシャッタ14dを開作動させて入出金口14aを開放する。   And when the amount of money withdrawn and counted by the discriminating unit 15 coincides with the amount of change, the main control unit sends a withdrawal bill accumulation notification attached to the handling-side rear-side withdrawal / withdrawal unit 14 that the withdrawal bills are accumulated. 3 and the shutter 14d is opened to open the deposit / withdrawal port 14a.
