  As shown in FIG. 2, the bill change machine 30 is provided with an instruction receiving unit 49 that receives various instructions from the operator.

  Next, the structure of the coin change machine 50 is demonstrated using FIG.2 and FIG.3. The coin change machine 50 has a deposit port 52 for receiving coins, a feed mechanism (not shown) for feeding coins received by the deposit port 52 into the machine, and a coin transport unit 54 for transporting coins fed by the feed mechanism. And an identification unit 56 that is provided in the coin transport unit 54 and identifies the denomination of the coin.

  On the downstream side of the identification unit 56, a plurality of (for example, six) storages 58 for storing coins by denomination are provided.

  Each storage 58 is connected to a payout mechanism (not shown) for paying out coins to be withdrawn from the storage 58, and the payout mechanism accepts coins payed out by the operation mechanism. The gate 60 is connected. When paying out coins in the storage 58 as change coins, or when performing recovery processing for paying out of the machine to recover coins in the storage 58, the payout mechanism pays out coins to the dispensing port 60.

  Further, a branching section 62 is provided on the downstream side of the identification section 56 of the coin transport section 54 and upstream of each storage 58 and the withdrawal port 60. The branching unit 62 is configured to divide whether the coins transported by the coin transporting unit 54 are transported to the storage 58 or the dispensing port 60. In this branching unit 62, coins that could not be identified by the identifying unit 56 at the time of depositing are returned to the withdrawal port 60 as return of rejected coins.

  The coin change machine 50 is provided with a coin control unit 50a. The coin control unit 50 a is communicatively connected to the banknote control unit 30 a of the banknote change machine 30. The coin control unit 50a is connected to each component of the coin change machine 50, and controls each component. The identification result of the coin denomination and the like by the identification unit 56 is notified to the coin control unit 50a. As shown in FIG. 2, the coin change machine 50 is also provided with an instruction receiving unit 59 that receives various instructions from the operator.

  Based on the identification result notified from the identification unit 56, the coin control unit 50a transmits information on the total amount of the received coins to the banknote control unit 30a. The banknote control unit 30a calculates the deposit amount by adding the total amount of the deposited banknotes and the total amount of the deposited coins. When replenishing money to the change machine 20 (the banknote change machine 30, the coin change machine 50), the replenishment amount is calculated by the same process as when depositing.

  The coin control unit 50a manages the amount data of coins in the coin change machine 50 (in the storage 70), and transmits this amount data to the banknote control unit 30a. The banknote control unit 30a manages the banknote amount data in the banknote change machine 30 (in the storage 40). The banknote control unit 30a combines the banknote balance data and the coin balance data received from the coin control section 50a, and transmits the balance data in the change machine 20 to the management device 10 as needed. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the management apparatus 10 can manage the amount of money of each change machine 20 (in real time).

  The data managed by the management apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The “start balance” is the amount of change reserve that has been replenished in advance to the change machine 20 (or left in the machine from the previous day) before the start of business. “Replenishment” is the amount of money newly replenished due to a shortage of change reserves during business hours. “Intermediate collection” is the amount of money that has been paid out and collected outside the machine because the amount of stored money has increased during business hours. “Recovery” is the amount of money collected from the change machine 20 in the closing work after the end of business. The “remaining amount” is the amount of money left in the change machine 20 as a change reserve for the next day without being collected in the closing work after the end of business. Since these amounts and the amount of money deposited into the change machine 20 as “cash sales” are all the money deposited and withdrawn from the change machine, “cash sales” = “remaining amount” + “ It can be calculated by “intermediate recovery” + “recovery” − “start stock” − “replenishment”.

Moreover, the banknote control part 30a outputs the replenishment amount of the money replenished to the change machine 20 (the banknote change machine 30, the coin change machine 50) by the replenishment process to the management apparatus 10.
The bill control unit 30a can receive a transaction amount, a change amount, etc., or transmit a deposit amount with the POS register 70.

  When the change machine 20 (the banknote change machine 30, the coin change machine 50) pays change, the banknote control unit 30a pays out the necessary banknote from the storage 40 for change to be paid by banknote out of the change amount. It discharges from the mouth 46 to the outside of the machine. The banknote control unit 30a instructs the coin control unit 50a to withdraw the remaining change amount obtained by subtracting the change amount of the banknote from the change amount. The coin control unit 50 a pays out necessary coins from the storage 58 based on the withdrawal instruction and pays out from the withdrawal port 60.

  The banknote control part 30a will transmit this collection | recovery process instruction | indication to the coin control part 50a, if the collection | recovery process instruction | indication is notified from the management apparatus 10. FIG. And the banknote control part 30a and the coin control part 50a perform a collection process based on a collection process instruction | indication.

  First, operations of the banknote change machine 30 and the coin change machine 50 when an entire collection is instructed as a collection process will be described.

  The banknote change machine 30 conveys all banknotes stored in the storage 40 to the collection cassette 42. Furthermore, the lock | rock of the collection cassette 42 is cancelled | released, and it can be taken out from the banknote change machine 30 main body. The coin change machine 50 pays out all the coins stored in the storage 58 to the withdrawal port 60.

  Next, operations of the banknote change machine 30 and the coin change machine 50 when the remaining collection is instructed as the collection process will be described.

  In the banknote change machine 30, the number of denominations of banknotes left in the machine is set in advance. The banknote change machine 30 leaves the preset number of banknotes in the denomination in the storage 40 and transports other banknotes to the collection cassette 42. Furthermore, the lock | rock of the collection cassette 42 is cancelled | released, and it can be taken out from the banknote change machine 30 main body.

  Similar to the banknote change machine 30, the coin change machine 50 is preset with the number of coin types to be left in the machine. The coin change machine 50 leaves the preset number of coins in the denomination in the storage 58 and pays out other coins to the dispensing port 60.

  Next, operations of the banknote change machine 30 and the coin change machine 50 when designated collection is instructed as a collection process will be described. In the designated collection, there are a case where the management device 10 designates the number of denominations of money collected from the change machine 20 and a case of designation of the number of denominations of money remaining in the change machine 20.

  When the management device 10 designates the number of denominations of money to be collected from the change machine 20, the banknote change machine 30 conveys the designated number of denominations of banknotes to the collection cassette 42. Furthermore, the lock | rock of the collection cassette 42 is cancelled | released, and it can be taken out from the banknote change machine 30 main body. The coin change machine 50 pays out the designated number of coins to the withdrawal port 60.

  When the management device 10 specifies the number of money types to be left in the change machine 20, the banknote change machine 30 leaves the specified number of money types in the storage box 40, and other banknotes to the collection cassette 42. Transport. Furthermore, the lock | rock of the collection cassette 42 is cancelled | released, and it can be taken out from the banknote change machine 30 main body. Also, the coin change machine 50 leaves the designated number of coins in the storage box 58 and pays out other coins to the dispensing port 60.

  In addition, since the management apparatus 10 manages the amount of money of the change machine 20, specifying the number of denominations of money collected from the change machine 20 specifies the number of denominations of money remaining in the change machine 20. It will also be a thing.

  By such collection processing, it becomes possible to collect the money in the change machine 20 (the banknote change machine 30, the coin change machine 50).

  After executing the collection process, the coin control unit 50a transmits to the banknote control unit 30a the money type number data of the collected coin, that is, the coin paid out to the withdrawal port 60. The banknote control unit 30a combines the money type number data of the collected banknotes, that is, the banknotes conveyed to the collection cassette 42, with the money type number data received from the coin control unit 50a, and changes the change machine 20 (banknotes). Data on the number of moneys collected from the change machine 30 and the coin change machine 50) is created and output to the management apparatus 10.

  The management device 10 (management unit 10a) can obtain the amount collected from the difference in the balance of the change machine 20 before and after the collection, and can collate it with the count result received from the deposit machine 11. In addition, when the management device 10 instructs the designated collection to specify the number of money types to be collected from the change machine 20, the management device 10 performs the specified number of money types and the deposit processing of the deposit machine 11 into which the collected money is inserted. By comparing with the counting result, it is possible to confirm the excess or deficiency of the collected money. Further, the management device 10 can also check whether there is an excess or deficiency of the collected money by collating the number-of- money data of the collected money output from the change machine 20 with the counting result of the depositing process of the depositing machine 11 into which the collected money is inserted. Can be confirmed.

  Furthermore, the management device 10 can confirm whether or not the replenishment process has been performed reliably by comparing the replenishment amount output from the change machine 20 with the withdrawal amount output from the dispensing machine 12.

  As described above, the management apparatus 10 notifies the plurality of change machines 20 of a collection processing instruction. The plurality of change machines 20 perform a collection process based on the collection process instruction, and the money in each change machine 20 can be collected. The money that can be collected in this way can be quickly collected by a small number of limited store staff (for example, a person in charge of accounting, etc.) in turn through the plurality of change machines 20.

  Therefore, it is not necessary for the clerk in charge of each cash register to collect the money of the change machine 20 of the cash register in charge, and the cost required for the tightening operation including the money collection can be reduced. In addition, the number of persons involved in the money collection is limited to a small number, and the checkout process can be made more strict by the management device 10 collating.

  A money collection method in such a money handling system will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

  (Step S101) The management apparatus 10 notifies the plurality of change machines 20 of a collection processing instruction.

  (Step S102) Each change machine 20 performs a collection process. Each change machine 20 transmits to the management device 10 the number of money types paid out as the collection process together with its own ID at the end timing of the collection process. The banknote change machine 30 holds the number of denominations of the banknotes paid out to the collection cassette 42 as a collection process, and when the number of denominations of the collected coins is received from the coin change machine 50, Then, it may be transmitted to the management apparatus 10. Moreover, you may make it the banknote change machine 30 transmit at the timing when the collection | recovery cassette 42 was extracted. In the bill change machine 30, the collection cassette 42 is unlocked when the collection process is completed.

  (Step S103) Money is collected from each change machine 20. At this time, since the collection process has been executed in each change machine 20 and it is only necessary to collect the money that can be collected, it can be performed by a small number of shop assistants (for example, accounting managers).

  (Step S104) The depositing machine 11 performs deposit processing including identification, counting, and storage of the collected money.

  (Step S105) The deposit machine 11 outputs the counting result to the management apparatus 10.

  (Step S106) The management apparatus 10 collates the collected money using the counting result received from the deposit machine 11. For example, when the change machine 20 outputs the money type number data of the collected money in accordance with the collection process in step S102, the money type number data is collated with the counting result received from the deposit machine 11. Moreover, the management apparatus 10 can also obtain | require the money amount which should be collect | recovered from the difference of the banknote amount of the change machine 20 before and behind collection | recovery, and can also collate with the count result received from the deposit machine 11. FIG.

  Next, a money replenishment method in the money handling system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  (Step S201) The dispensing machine 12 withdraws money to be replenished to each change machine 20. The number of types of money to be dispensed may be a predetermined number, or may be a number requested by each change machine.

  (Step S202) The dispensing machine 12 notifies the management device 10 of the withdrawal amount.

  (Step S203) Money is replenished to each change machine 20.

  (Step S204) Each change machine 20 notifies the management device 10 of the replenishment amount.

  (Step S205) The management apparatus 10 collates the withdrawal amount notified in Step S202 and the replenishment amount notified in Step S204.

  Note that the management device 10 that manages the amount of money in the change machine 20 may detect a shortage of money in each change machine 20 and instruct the withdrawal machine 12 to withdraw supplementary money. Good. In this case, step S202 in FIG. 6 can be omitted, and in step S205, the management apparatus 10 collates the withdrawal amount instructed to the dispensing machine 12 with the replenishment amount notified in step S204. When the replenishment money of a plurality of change machines is withdrawn in a lump from the dispensing machine 12, data associated with the ID of each change machine and the number of denominations of the replenishment money may be displayed. It may be printed out as a gold statement.

  As described above, according to the money handling system according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the cost required for the tightening operation and to make the settlement process strict.

  In the embodiment described above, the change machine 20 may perform the collection process when a collection instruction is received from the management apparatus 10 and a start instruction is further received from the operator. This is suitable in the case of performing so-called midway collection in which money in the change machine 20 is collected during business hours of a store. The start instruction from the operator is received by, for example, the instruction receiving unit 49 shown in FIG. When the change machine having the collection cassette 42 receives an instruction for collection on the way, the collected money is preliminarily stored in the collection cassette 42 by using the empty time during which no change process or change process is performed. The collection cassette 42 may be collected immediately upon start-up from the operator's instruction receiving unit 49.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the banknotes to be recovered are conveyed to the recovery cassette 42 has been described. However, the recovery cassette 42 may not be provided, and the recovered banknotes may be paid out to an open space that is not isolated from the outside. That is, instead of the collection cassette 42, a discharge port having the same configuration as the withdrawal port 46 may be used. The withdrawal port 60 of the coin change machine 50 is also an open space. However, when the collection process is performed after receiving the start instruction from the operator, the operator stands in front of the change machine and the money is collected by the collection process. Since the start instruction is input in the hope that it will be paid out of the plane, there is no operational problem even if the collected money is paid out to the open space.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provides a collection cassette in the coin change machine 50, and conveys the coin to collect | recover to a collection cassette similarly to the banknote change machine 30. FIG.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the banknote change machine 30 may enable it to replenish a banknote using the collection | recovery cassette 42. FIG.
