  The camera 102 is disposed on the opposite side of the camera base 101 from the hinge 100. Therefore, when the camera base 101 is in the retracted position, the camera 102 is located at the rear of the camera base 101, and when the camera base 101 is in the image capturing position, It is arranged on the side of the base 101 on one side in the left-right direction (the side of the new ticket processor 12 and the coin processor 13 shown in FIGS. 3 to 6). The camera 102 is pulled out of the apparatus at the time of imaging. When the slide rail 82 is extended to the maximum and the camera base 101 is in the imaging posture, the camera 102 is opened to the outside of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 shown in FIG. 4, the internal mechanism 42 opened to the outside of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11 shown in FIG. 4, the internal mechanism 55 opened to the outside of the unit 52 of the new ticket handling machine 12 shown in FIG. The internal mechanism 63 opened to the outside of the unit 62 of the coin processor 13 shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the camera base 101 is in the storage posture and the slide rail 82 is retracted most, the camera 102 is stored in the apparatus housing 81, that is, in the money handling machine.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the control device 76 is provided with a buzzer 108 for generating an alarm sound on the front surface thereof. Inside the control device 76, as shown in FIG. ) 110 and a recording unit (recording unit) 111 capable of recording the imaging data of the camera 102 on an SD card or the like is provided. The control unit 110 is connected to a recording unit 111, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, and a buzzer 108, and the lock mechanisms 35 and 43, the closing detection mechanisms 36 and 44, and the abnormality detection mechanism 37, of the banknote handling machine 11. 45, the lock mechanism 56 of the new ticket processor 12, the close detection mechanism 57 and the abnormality detection mechanism 58, and the lock mechanism 67, the close detection mechanism 68 and the abnormality detection mechanism 69 of the coin processing machine 13 are connected. The controller 110 is connected to the camera switch 94 of the imaging device 77, the drawer detection mechanism 96, the standby detection mechanism 97, the attitude detection mechanism 105, and the camera 102.

  Next, main control contents by the control unit 110 will be described.

  During normal operation other than during maintenance, the lock mechanism 35 of the upper unit 22, the lock mechanism 43 of the lower unit 23, the lock mechanism 56 of the new note processor 12, and the lock mechanism 67 of the coin processor 13 are locked. Thus, the camera switch 94 is turned off.

  The control unit 110 monitors the abnormality detection mechanisms 37 and 45 of the banknote processing machine 11, the abnormality detection mechanism 58 of the new note processing machine 12, and the abnormality detection mechanism 69 of the coin processing machine 13, and an abnormality is detected in any of these. When detected, a display indicating that an abnormality has occurred and a display for prompting the camera 102 of the imaging device 77 to be in an imaging position are displayed, and the camera switch 94 blinks red. In addition, even when an input to start maintenance work is performed on the operation unit 14 during maintenance other than when an abnormality has occurred, the control unit 110 sets the camera 102 of the imaging device 77 to an imaging position where imaging can be performed. The camera switch 94 blinks red.

  Looking at this, the operator presses the camera switch 94 blinking in red on the imaging device 77, and when the pressing operation of the camera switch 94 is detected, the control unit 110 lights the camera switch 94 in green. At the same time, the camera 102 is energized to start capturing of image data by the camera 102. That is, the camera 102 starts capturing image data by a switch operation.

  Next, the operator manually pulls out the camera unit 83 from the apparatus casing 81 while releasing the lock of a mechanical locking mechanism (not shown) by swinging the opening operation lever 93 forward. Then, the camera 102 is exposed to the outside, and the illuminance detected from the imaging data of the camera 102 exceeds a predetermined first reference illuminance. Upon detecting this, the control unit 110 captures the image of the camera 102. Recording of data to the recording unit 111 is started. Further, when the camera unit 83 starts to be pulled out from the apparatus housing 81, the standby detection mechanism 97 detects that the standby state in which the opening portion 84 of the apparatus housing 81 is closed by the front plate portion 90 has been stopped.

  Note that the control unit 110 generates a warning sound by the buzzer 108 when the camera switch 94 is not pressed when the standby detection mechanism 97 detects that the standby state has been lost. When the camera switch 94 is pressed, the alarm sound of the buzzer 108 is stopped, the camera switch 94 is lit in green, the camera 102 is energized, and the camera 102 starts capturing image data.

  The operator manually pulls out the camera unit 83 from the apparatus housing 81, and then manually places the camera base 101 in the storage posture into the photographing posture. When the pull-out detection mechanism 96 detects that the support member 88 of the camera unit 83 is pulled out most from the apparatus housing 81, and the posture detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is in the shooting posture. The control unit 110 is in a state of permitting the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, and 67 to be unlocked. When an abnormality is detected, the display unit displays an abnormality detected in the upper unit 22, the lower unit 23, the new ticket processing machine 12 and the coin processing machine 13 of the banknote handling machine 11 and a display for prompting a recovery operation from the abnormality. 15 and a display prompting the selection input of the unlocking operation to the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, and 67 is displayed on the display unit 15. Further, during maintenance other than when an abnormality has occurred, a display for prompting the selection input of the unlocking operation to the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, 67 is displayed on the display unit 15. The selection input of the unlocking operation of the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, and 67 is performed by an operation input to the operation unit 14.

  If the posture detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is in the shooting posture before the pull-out detection mechanism 96 detects that the support member 88 is in the pulled-out state, the control unit 110 causes the buzzer 108 to issue an alarm. Then, when the drawer detection mechanism 96 detects that the support member 88 is in the pulled-out state, the alarm sound by the buzzer 108 is stopped. Further, the support member 88 is in the pulled-out state even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the standby detection mechanism 97 detects that the support member 88 has stopped being in the standby state in which the opening 84 of the apparatus housing 81 is closed. If the drawer detection mechanism 96 detects that the camera base 101 is in the shooting posture, the control unit 110 generates a warning sound by the buzzer 108. Thereafter, when the drawer detection mechanism 96 detects that the support member 88 is in the pulled-out state and the posture detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is in the shooting posture, the alarm sound from the buzzer 108 is stopped.

  For example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11, the operator performs a selection input for the unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 35 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 on the operation unit 14. Thus, the control unit 110 releases the lock by the lock mechanism 35. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as pulling out the upper unit 22 from the housing 21 and exposing the internal mechanism 34 provided in the upper unit 22 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. Then, after the maintenance work is completed, the upper unit 22 is pushed back into the housing 21.

  When the close detection mechanism 36 detects that the upper unit 22 has been pushed into the housing 21, the control unit 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 34 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 37, and detects an abnormality in the internal mechanism 34. If not, the upper unit 22 is locked to the housing 21 by the lock mechanism 35. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 34 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 37, the upper unit 22 is not locked to the housing 21 by the lock mechanism 35, and the internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 is abnormal. The display unit 15 displays that there is. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  For example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11, the operator inputs a selection input for the unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 43 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11 to the operation unit 14. As a result, the control unit 110 releases the lock by the lock mechanism 43. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as pulling out the lower unit 23 from the casing 21 and exposing the internal mechanism 42 provided in the lower unit 23 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. Then, after the maintenance work is completed, the lower unit 23 is pushed back into the housing 21.

  When the close detection mechanism 44 detects that the lower unit 23 has been pushed into the housing 21, the control unit 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 42 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 45, and detects an abnormality in the internal mechanism 42. If not, the lock unit 43 locks the lower unit 23 to the housing 21. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 42 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 45, the lock mechanism 43 does not lock the lower unit 23 to the housing 21, and the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11 is abnormal. The display unit 15 displays that there is. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  Further, for example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 55 of the unit 52 of the new ticket processing machine 12, the operator performs a selection input for the unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 56 of the new ticket processing machine 12 to the operation unit 14. Thus, the control unit 110 releases the lock by the lock mechanism 56. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as pulling out the unit 52 from the housing 51 and exposing the internal mechanism 55 provided in the unit 52 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. Then, after the maintenance work is completed, the unit 52 is pushed back into the housing 51.

  When the closing detection mechanism 57 detects that the unit 52 has been pushed into the housing 51, the controller 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 55 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 58, and the abnormality of the internal mechanism 55 is detected. If not, the lock mechanism 56 locks the unit 52 to the housing 51. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 55 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 58, the lock mechanism 56 does not lock the unit 52 to the housing 51, and the internal mechanism 55 of the unit 52 of the new ticket processor 12 has an abnormality. It is displayed on the display unit 15. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  Further, for example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 63 of the unit 62 of the coin processing machine 13, the operator performs selection input of the unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 67 of the coin processing machine 13 to the operation unit 14. As a result, the control unit 110 releases the lock by the lock mechanism 67. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as opening the front door 61 and pulling out the unit 62 from the housing 60 to expose the internal mechanism 63 provided in the unit 62 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. After the maintenance work is completed, the unit 62 is pushed back into the housing 60 and the front door 61 is closed.

  When the close detection mechanism 68 detects that the unit 62 has been pushed into the housing 60 and the front door 61 has been closed, the control unit 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 63 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 69. If no abnormality 63 is detected, the front door 61 is locked to the housing 60 by the lock mechanism 67. On the other hand, when the abnormality detection mechanism 69 detects an abnormality in the internal mechanism 63, the lock mechanism 67 does not lock the front door 61 to the housing 60, and the internal mechanism 63 of the unit 62 of the coin processor 13 has an abnormality. It is displayed on the display unit 15. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  When it is detected by the abnormality detection mechanisms 37, 45, 58, and 69 that there is no abnormality and the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, and 67 are locked, the control unit 110 turns off the camera switch 94. In addition, a storage instruction for the camera 102 is displayed on the display unit 15. Then, the operator returns the camera base 101 to the storage position and pushes the camera unit 83 into the apparatus housing 81. When the camera unit 83 is pushed into the apparatus housing 81, the illuminance detected from the imaging data of the camera 102 falls below a predetermined second reference illuminance, and the controller 110 thus has a predetermined illuminance. When the value falls below two reference illuminances, recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is stopped and energization of the camera 102 is stopped to stop capturing of the imaging data.

  Note that the posture detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is out of the imaging posture before the abnormality detection mechanisms 37, 45, 58, and 69 detect that all the abnormalities have been resolved, When the drawer detection mechanism 96 detects that 88 is no longer in the drawer position, the control unit 110 generates an alarm sound by the buzzer 108, and then the attitude that the camera base 101 is in the imaging attitude. When the detection mechanism 105 detects and the pull-out detection mechanism 96 detects that the support member 88 is in the pull-out position, the buzzer 108 stops the alarm sound.

  When the drawer detection mechanism 96 detects that the support member 88 is no longer in the drawer position before the attitude detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is no longer in the imaging posture, the control unit 110 causes the buzzer 108 to If the posture detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is no longer in the imaging posture after that, the warning sound of the buzzer 108 is stopped. In addition, the posture detection mechanism 105 indicates that the camera base 101 is no longer in the imaging posture even after a predetermined time has elapsed since it was detected that all the abnormalities were resolved by the abnormality detection mechanisms 37, 45, 58, and 69. If it is detected and the standby detection mechanism 97 does not enter the state where the support member 88 is returned to the standby position, the control unit 110 generates an alarm sound by the buzzer 108. After that, when the posture detection mechanism 105 detects that the camera base 101 is out of the imaging posture and the standby detection mechanism 97 detects that the support member 88 is returned to the standby position, the alarm sound of the buzzer 108 is stopped. Let

  As described above, after the camera 102 is arranged at the imaging position, the control unit 110, in other words, after the recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 started before that to the recording unit 111 is started, the banknote processing machine 11. The internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22, the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote processing machine 11, the internal mechanism 55 of the new note processing machine 12, and the internal mechanism 63 of the coin processing machine 13 are permitted to be opened to the outside. It will be. After that, until the camera 102 is housed in the apparatus casing 81, the imaging of the camera 102 and the recording of the imaging data in the recording unit 111 are continued, but the abnormality detection mechanisms 37, 45, 58, and 69 are used. Before it is detected that all of the internal mechanisms 34, 42, 55, 63 are normal and all the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, 67 are locked, the imaging of the camera 102 and the imaging data recording unit 111 are performed. When the recording is stopped, the buzzer 108 issues an alarm.

  Here, among the internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote processing machine 11, the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote processing machine 11, the internal mechanism 55 of the new note processing machine 12, and the internal mechanism 63 of the coin processing machine 13, When maintenance is performed on a plurality of items, the control unit 110 releases the lock of only one of the lock mechanisms 35, 43, 56, and 67, and the maintenance of the released one ends and the locked state is reached. Then, only the next one lock is released, and when the maintenance is completed and the locked state is released, the next one lock is released. Thereby, it is regulated that a plurality of the upper unit 22, the lower unit 23 of the banknote processing machine 11, the unit 52 of the new note processing machine 12, and the unit 62 of the coin processing machine 13 are pulled out simultaneously. As a result, it is possible to prevent other drawn units from becoming blind spots when imaging the drawn monitoring target unit.

  According to the first embodiment described above, when recording of imaging data by the recording unit 111 is started, the control unit 110 causes the internal mechanism 34 to be pulled out from the housing 21 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11. Of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11 is opened to the outside by the drawer 21 from the casing 21, and the internal mechanism 55 is pulled out of the casing 52 of the unit 52 of the new ticket handling machine 12. Open to the outside and allow the internal mechanism 63 to be opened to the outside by pulling out the unit 62 of the coin processing machine 13 from the housing 60, so that there is no possibility that it is not possible to record image data at the initial opening. Accordingly, it is possible to record appropriate imaging data when pulling out the internal mechanisms 34, 42, 55, and 63 in maintenance work such as maintenance, inspection, and recovery work. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the work proof of the staff at the time of cash miscalculation occurrence and the fraud deterrent effect.

  In addition, since the camera 102 can be stored in the apparatus and pulled out of the apparatus at the time of imaging, storing the camera 102 during normal operation does not interfere with the convenience. .

  Further, when the switch operation is performed on the camera switch 94, the camera 102 starts to capture the imaging data, so that the capturing of the imaging data can be started with a simple structure.

  Further, when the camera 102 is pulled out of the apparatus for imaging, the detected illuminance exceeds the predetermined first reference illuminance, and the recording unit 111 starts recording the imaging data. , The detected illuminance falls below a predetermined second reference illuminance, and the recording unit 111 stops recording the imaging data. That is, it is possible to automatically start and stop recording of imaging data in conjunction with the drawer and storage of the camera 102. Therefore, maintenance work such as maintenance, inspection, and recovery work can be reliably recorded. In addition, since the camera 102 is also used as a means for controlling the start and end of recording of imaging data, the cost can be reduced.

  Next, a money handling machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, the electromagnetic locking mechanism 35, 43, 56, 67 shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment is not provided, and as shown in FIG. 8, the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 is provided.

  At the time of maintenance, as in the first embodiment, the operator presses the camera switch 94 that blinks in red on the imaging device 77. When the pressing operation of the camera switch 94 is detected, the control unit 110 controls the camera switch 94. 94 is lit in green and the camera 102 is energized to start capturing of image data by the camera 102.

  Next, the operator pulls out the opening operation lever 93 from the apparatus housing 81. Then, as in the first embodiment, the camera 102 is exposed to the outside, and the detected illuminance exceeds the predetermined first reference illuminance, so that the control unit 110 records the imaging data of the camera 102. Recording to the unit 111 is started.

  The operator manually pulls out the camera unit 83 from the apparatus housing 81, and then manually places the camera base 101 in the storage posture into the photographing posture. Then, the camera 102 is positioned at the imaging position. When the drawer detection mechanism 96 and the posture detection mechanism 105 detect that the camera 102 is positioned at the imaging position, the control unit 110 detects the abnormality by detecting the upper unit 22, the lower unit 23, and the new ticket processing machine of the banknote processing machine 11. 12 and a display for prompting a recovery operation from the abnormality are displayed on the display unit 15 and a display for prompting an unlocking operation to the lock mechanisms 121, 122, 123, 124. Is displayed on the display unit 15. Further, during maintenance other than when an abnormality has occurred, a display prompting the lock release operation to the lock mechanisms 121, 122, 123, 124 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  By the way, in 2nd Embodiment, since the mechanical type lock mechanisms 121-124 which consist of the key 125 and the cylinder lock 126 are used, before displaying the display which promotes unlocking operation as mentioned above on the display part 15, it is. Even if it exists, the lock release operation to the lock mechanisms 121, 122, 123, and 124 is possible.

  For this reason, in the state which the control part 110 has detected that the upper unit 22 of the banknote processing machine 11 was pulled out from the housing | casing 21, and the internal mechanism 34 was open | released outside, in the state which detects the following, Take control. That is, in this state, even when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is not started and when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is started, the camera 102 The alarm sound is generated by the buzzer 108 for both the case where the pull-out detection mechanism 96 and the posture detection mechanism 105 do not detect the presence of the alarm. Thereafter, when the close detection mechanism 36 detects that the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 has been returned to the housing 21, the control unit 110 stops the alarm sound from the buzzer 108.

  Moreover, the control part 110 performs the following control in the state which has detected that the lower unit 23 of the banknote processing machine 11 was pulled out from the housing | casing 21, and the internal mechanism 42 was open | released outside. Do. That is, in this state, even when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is not started and when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is started, the camera 102 The alarm sound is generated by the buzzer 108 for both the case where the pull-out detection mechanism 96 and the posture detection mechanism 105 do not detect the presence of the alarm. Thereafter, when the closing detection mechanism 44 detects that the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11 has been returned to the housing 21, the control unit 110 stops the alarm sound from the buzzer 108.

  In addition, the control unit 110 performs the following control in a state where the closing detection mechanism 57 detects that the unit 52 of the new ticket processor 12 is pulled out from the housing 51 and the internal mechanism 55 is opened to the outside. Do. That is, in this state, even when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is not started and when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is started, the camera 102 The alarm sound is generated by the buzzer 108 for both the case where the pull-out detection mechanism 96 and the posture detection mechanism 105 do not detect the presence of the alarm. Thereafter, when the closing detection mechanism 57 detects that the unit 52 of the new ticket processor 12 has been returned to the housing 51, the control unit 110 stops the alarm sound from the buzzer 108.

  Further, the control unit 110 detects that the front door 61 of the coin processing machine 13 is opened by the closing detection mechanism 68, that is, the unit 62 of the coin processing machine 13 is pulled out from the housing 60 and is inside. When the mechanism 63 is opened to the outside, the following control is performed. That is, in this state, even when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is not started and when recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is started, the camera 102 The alarm sound is generated by the buzzer 108 for both the case where the pull-out detection mechanism 96 and the posture detection mechanism 105 do not detect the presence of the alarm. Thereafter, when the closing detection mechanism 68 detects that the front door 61 of the coin processor 13 is closed, the control unit 110 stops the alarm sound from the buzzer 108.

  For example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11, the operator performs an unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 121 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 using the key 125. . Next, the operator performs maintenance such as pulling out the upper unit 22 from the housing 21 and exposing the internal mechanism 34 provided in the upper unit 22 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. Then, after the maintenance work is completed, the upper unit 22 is pushed back into the housing 21.

  When the close detection mechanism 36 detects that the upper unit 22 has been pushed into the housing 21, the control unit 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 34 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 37, and detects an abnormality in the internal mechanism 34. If not, a display prompting the lock mechanism 121 to lock the upper unit 22 to the housing 21 is displayed on the display unit 15. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 34 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 37, the display unit 15 displays that there is an abnormality in the internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  For example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11, the operator performs an unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 122 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11 using the key 125. become. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as pulling out the lower unit 23 from the casing 21 and exposing the internal mechanism 42 provided in the lower unit 23 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. Then, after the maintenance work is completed, the lower unit 23 is pushed back into the housing 21.

  When the close detection mechanism 44 detects that the lower unit 23 has been pushed into the housing 21, the control unit 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 42 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 45, and detects an abnormality in the internal mechanism 42. If not, a display prompting the lock mechanism 122 to lock the lower unit 23 to the housing 21 is displayed on the display unit 15. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 42 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 45, the display unit 15 displays that there is an abnormality in the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  For example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 55 of the unit 52 of the new ticket processing machine 12, the operator uses the key 125 to perform the unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 123 of the unit 52 of the new ticket processing machine 12. become. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as pulling out the unit 52 from the housing 51 and exposing the internal mechanism 55 provided in the unit 52 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. Then, after the maintenance work is completed, the unit 52 is pushed back into the housing 51.

  When the closing detection mechanism 57 detects that the unit 52 has been pushed into the housing 51, the controller 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 55 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 58, and the abnormality of the internal mechanism 55 is detected. If not, a display prompting the lock mechanism 123 to lock the unit 52 to the housing 51 is displayed on the display unit 15. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 55 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 58, the display unit 15 displays that there is an abnormality in the internal mechanism 55 of the unit 52 of the new ticket processing machine 12. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  For example, when performing maintenance of the internal mechanism 63 of the unit 62 of the coin processing machine 13, the operator performs an unlocking operation of the lock mechanism 124 of the coin processing machine 13 using the key 125. Next, the operator performs maintenance such as opening the front door 61 and pulling out the unit 62 from the housing 60 to expose the internal mechanism 63 provided in the unit 62 to the outside to eliminate the abnormality. After the maintenance work is completed, the unit 62 is pushed back into the housing 60 and the front door 61 is closed.

  When the close detection mechanism 68 detects that the unit 62 has been pushed into the housing 60 and the front door 61 has been closed, the control unit 110 detects whether the internal mechanism 63 is abnormal by the abnormality detection mechanism 69. If no abnormality 63 is detected, a display that prompts the lock mechanism 124 to lock the front door 61 to the housing 60 is displayed on the display unit 15. On the other hand, when an abnormality of the internal mechanism 63 is detected by the abnormality detection mechanism 69, the display unit 15 displays that there is an abnormality in the internal mechanism 63 of the unit 62 of the coin processor 13. The operator sees this and starts the maintenance again.

  Then, when the abnormality detection mechanisms 37, 45, 58, and 69 detect that there is no abnormality, and the lock detection mechanisms 127 to 130 detect that all the lock mechanisms 121 to 124 are locked, The control unit 110 turns off the camera switch 94 and causes the display unit 15 to display a storage instruction for the camera 102. Then, the operator returns the camera base 101 to the storage position and pushes the camera unit 83 into the apparatus housing 81. When the camera unit 83 is pushed into the apparatus housing 81, the illuminance detected from the imaging data of the camera 102 falls below a predetermined second reference illuminance, and the controller 110 thus has a predetermined illuminance. When the value falls below two reference illuminances, recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 to the recording unit 111 is stopped and energization of the camera 102 is stopped to stop capturing of the imaging data.

  As described above, the control unit 110 includes the internal mechanism 34 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote processing machine 11, the internal mechanism 42 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote processing machine 11, the internal mechanism 55 of the new note processing machine 12, and the inside of the coin processing machine 13. When each of the mechanisms 63 is opened to the outside, the camera 102 is not arranged at the imaging position, in other words, the recording of the imaging data of the camera 102 started before that to the recording unit 111 is not started. Then, the buzzer 108 issues an alarm.

  Here, the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11, the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11, the unit 52 of the new note processing machine 12, and the unit 62 of the coin handling machine 13 are not drawn out at the same time, but are one unit. It is designed to be mechanically locked so that only can be pulled out. This prevents other extracted units from becoming blind spots for imaging in a state where the monitored unit is pulled out.

  According to the second embodiment described above, the internal mechanism 34 is opened to the outside by being pulled out from the housing 21 of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11, and from the housing 21 of the lower unit 23 of the banknote handling machine 11. The internal mechanism 42 is opened to the outside by the drawer, the internal mechanism 55 is opened to the outside by the drawer of the unit 52 of the new ticket processor 12 from the casing 51, and the unit 62 of the coin processor 13 from the casing 60 is pulled out. If the recording unit 111 does not start recording of imaging data when each of the internal mechanisms 63 is released to the outside by the drawer, the control unit 110 generates an alarm by the buzzer 108. Alarms can be issued for situations where data cannot be recorded. Therefore, the operator is encouraged to open the internal mechanisms 34, 42, 55, 63 to the outside in a situation where imaging data can be reliably recorded, and the internal mechanisms 34, 42,. Appropriate imaging data can be recorded when 55 and 63 are pulled out. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the work proof of the staff at the time of cash miscalculation occurrence and the fraud deterrent effect.

  According to the first and second embodiments described above, the case where the capturing of the imaging data of the camera 102 is started by the switch operation by the camera switch 94 has been described as an example, but the housing of the upper unit 22 of the banknote handling machine 11 is described. Opening the internal mechanism 34 to the outside by pulling out from the body 21, opening the internal mechanism 42 to the outside by pulling out the lower unit 23 of the bill processing machine 11 from the housing 21, and housing of the unit 52 of the new ticket processing machine 12. This is output when the internal mechanism 55 needs to be opened to the outside by being pulled out from the body 51 and the internal mechanism 63 is to be opened to the outside by being pulled out from the housing 60 of the unit 62 of the coin processor 13. The capturing of imaging data of the camera 102 may be started by the specific signal. This specific signal is, for example, an error signal generated when the above-described abnormality detection mechanism 37, 45, 58, 69 detects an abnormality in the internal mechanism 34, 42, 55, 63, or the display unit 15 periodically. This is a maintenance instruction signal or the like. With this configuration, when it is necessary to open the internal mechanisms 34, 42, 55, 63 to the outside, it is possible to automatically start capturing of imaging data.
