<1. Overview of cash processing equipment>
An outline of the cash processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an example of a configuration of a cash processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the apparatus main body 14 is pulled out from the housing 12.

  The cash processing apparatus 10 is, for example, a cash change machine connected to a register installed at a checkout office such as a retail store such as a supermarket or a convenience store or a large mass retailer such as a discount shop, or a POS (Point Of Sales) register. It is. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cash processing apparatus 10 includes a housing 12 and a device body 14 that can be pulled out or inserted into the housing 12.

  The housing 12 is, for example, a metal case that houses the apparatus main body 14. The apparatus main body 14 manages deposits and withdrawals of coins and banknotes that are cash. The apparatus main body 14 has guide rails 15 on both sides in the width direction (X direction in FIG. 2), and is pulled out or inserted into the housing 12 along the guide rails 15. Moreover, the apparatus main body 14 has the coin processing unit 20, the banknote processing unit 30, the operation part 40, the display part 50, and the light emission part 60, as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the coin processing unit 20 is provided in a half on one end side in the width direction, and deposits / withdraws coins. The coin processing unit 20 includes a loading unit 22 and a discharging unit 23 in front of the apparatus. The insertion unit 22 has a function of an insertion slot into which a deposit coin is inserted by the operator. The discharge part 23 has a function of a discharge port through which the dispensing coins are discharged from the inside of the apparatus. The internal configuration of the coin processing unit 20 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the banknote processing unit 30 is provided in the other half of the width direction, and deposits / withdraws banknotes. The banknote processing unit 30 has a banknote insertion / ejection unit 32 in front of the apparatus. The input / output unit 32 has a function of an input port for deposited banknotes and a withdrawal port for dispensed banknotes.

  The operator can operate the coin processing unit 20 and the banknote processing unit 30 when the apparatus main body 14 is pulled out from the housing 12. For example, when a jam of a coin occurs in the coin processing unit 20, the operator pulls out the apparatus main body 14 and removes the coin in the coin processing unit 20.

  The operation unit 40 includes keys, buttons, and the like, and accepts an operator's operation. For example, the operator uses the operation unit 40 to select a desired item on the selection screen displayed on the display unit 50. The operation unit 40 is disposed on the upper front surface of the banknote processing unit 30.

  The display unit 50 is configured by a liquid crystal display, for example, and displays a menu screen or the like. The display unit 50 displays information indicating the state of the cash transaction apparatus 10. For example, although the details will be described later, when coins remain in the insertion unit 22, the display unit 50 displays that fact and notifies the operator. The display unit 50 is provided next to the operation unit 40 on the upper front surface of the banknote processing unit 30.

  The light emitting unit 60 is constituted by an LED (light emitting diode), for example, and emits light. Although the details will be described later, the light emitting unit 60 notifies the operator by turning on light or blinking light when coins remain in the insertion unit 22. The light emitting unit 60 is provided around the insertion unit 22 of the coin processing unit 20.

<2. Internal structure of coin processing unit>
An example of the internal configuration of the coin processing unit 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal configuration of the coin processing unit 20. 3 is a view of the coin processing unit 20 shown in FIG. 2 as viewed from the X direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the coin processing unit 20 includes a loading unit 22, a transport unit 24, a storage unit 25, and an opening / closing unit 26.

  The insertion unit 22 is formed in a concave shape and accumulates coins input by the operator. Since the shutter is not provided in the insertion part 22 of this embodiment, the operator can input a coin into the insertion part 22 at any time. The insertion unit 22 has a feeding disk 22a (FIG. 1) for feeding the accumulated coins. When the depositing process is selected by the operator, the feeding disk 22 a rotates to feed the coins toward the transport unit 24.

  The transport unit 24 includes a transport member such as a transport belt and a transport path, and transports coins. For example, the transport unit 24 transports the coins fed from the input unit 22 to the storage unit 25 during the deposit process. The transport path is provided with a discrimination section (not shown) for discriminating the denomination of coins. The transport path is provided with a sensor 24a that detects the coin transport state. Thereby, the jam of the coin in a conveyance path is detectable.

  The storage unit 25 stores coins by denomination. The storage unit 25 stores the received coins that have been input to the input unit 22 and transferred by the transfer unit 24. The storage unit 25 has a function of feeding out the stored coins. For example, during the withdrawal process, the transport unit 24 transports the coins fed out from the storage unit 25 to the discharge unit 23 (FIG. 1). Note that the storage unit 25 may be a cassette that can be attached and detached by an operator.

  The opening / closing part 26 is provided on the upper surface side of the coin processing unit 20 along the longitudinal direction (Y direction in FIG. 3). The opening / closing part 26 can be opened / closed around a rotation shaft 26a which is an opening / closing fulcrum located on one end side in the longitudinal direction. The open / close unit 26 covers the transport unit 24 and the storage unit 25 when closed, and functions as a cover member. On the other hand, when the opening / closing unit 26 is opened, the operator can access the transport unit 24 and the storage unit 25. For example, when a coin jam occurs in the transport unit 24 or when a coin is taken out from the storage unit 25, the operator opens the opening / closing unit 26 to access the transport unit 24 or the storage unit 25.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing part 26. As shown in FIG. 4A, the operator lifts the holding portion 26 b formed on the side surface of the insertion portion 22 of the opening / closing portion 26 with a finger, so that the closed opening / closing portion 26 starts to open. Then, after lifting the grip part 26b to some extent, the operator lifts the bottom part 22b of the insertion part 22 as shown in FIG. The opening / closing part 26 can be opened about 90 degrees at the maximum. When the opening / closing part 26 is opened, the transport part 24 is exposed.

  By the way, the insertion part 22 according to the present embodiment is formed integrally with the opening / closing part 26. Specifically, the insertion portion 22 is formed on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the opening / closing portion 26. For this reason, when the opening / closing part 26 opens around the rotation shaft 26a, the insertion part 22 moves vertically upward as shown in FIG. 4B. Then, as the insertion unit 22 moves upward (specifically, rotates), there is a possibility that a problem occurs that the coins accumulated in the insertion unit 22 are scattered as described below.

(About the scattering of coins accumulated in the insertion unit 22)
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the scattering of coins in the insertion unit 22 as the opening / closing unit 26 opens. 5A shows the state of the coin C in the closed state of the opening / closing part 26 shown in FIG. 4A, and FIG. 5B shows the coin in the opened state of the opening / closing part 26 shown in FIG. 4B. The state of C is shown. Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, it is assumed that the opening / closing unit 26 is opened in a state where the coins C are accumulated in the insertion unit 22 (a state where the operator has forgotten to take the coins C).

  As described above, since the insertion unit 22 has no shutter, the coin C comes out of the insertion unit 22 as shown in FIG. The coin C that has come out of the insertion unit 22 falls and scatters along the upper surface of the opening / closing unit 26, for example. And there exists a possibility that the scattered coin C may enter the inside of an apparatus (for example, banknote processing unit 30).

  Further, the opening operation of the opening / closing part 26 by the operator is performed in a state where the apparatus main body 14 is pulled out from the housing 12 (see FIG. 2). For this reason, there is a possibility that the coin C that has come out of the insertion unit 22 may enter the housing 12.

  In order to prevent the above-described scattering of coins, the cash processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment allows the operator to receive coins in the insertion unit 22 when the opening / closing unit 26 is opened with the coins accumulated in the insertion unit 22. Notify that it remains. Thereby, the operator can prevent the scattering of coins by canceling the act of opening the opening / closing part 26 or removing the coins remaining in the insertion part 22.

<3. Functional configuration example of cash processing device>
With reference to FIG. 6, an example of a functional configuration of the cash processing apparatus 10 for performing notification for preventing the scattering of coins will be described. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the cash processing apparatus 10.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the cash processing apparatus 10 includes a coin residual detection unit 102, an open / close state detection unit 104, a control unit 106, a storage unit 108, and a notification unit 110.

  The coin remaining detection unit 102 has a function of detecting the remaining coins in the insertion unit 22. Specifically, the coin residual detection unit 102 detects coins that have been input to the input unit 22 and that have been accumulated without being fed to the transport unit 24 by the feeding disc 22a. A detection sensor for detecting coins is arranged inside the insertion unit 22. The coin remaining detection unit 102 detects the remaining coins based on the detection result of the detection sensor (the presence or absence of coins). The coin residual detection unit 102 may also detect the number of coins accumulated in the insertion unit 22.

  The open / close state detection unit 104 has a function of detecting the open / close state of the open / close unit 26. The coin processing unit 20 is provided with a detection switch for detecting opening / closing of the opening / closing portion 26. The open / close state detection unit 104 detects the open / close state of the open / close unit 26 based on the detection result of the detection switch. The open / close state detection unit 104 may detect the rotation angle of the open / close unit 26 from the closed state.

  The control unit 106 controls the operation of the entire coin processing unit 20. For example, the control unit 106 receives a deposit processing instruction and feeds the coins accumulated in the insertion unit 22 to the storage unit 25. Further, the control unit 106 controls the notification unit 110 to notify the operator of the remaining coins in the insertion unit 22.

  The storage unit 108 stores a program or the like for operating the coin processing unit 20. The storage unit 108 may store the detection results of the coin residual detection unit 102 and the open / closed state detection unit 104.

  The notification unit 110 has a function of performing a notification when the opening / closing state detection unit 104 detects that the opening / closing unit 26 is opened and the coin remaining detection unit 102 detects the remaining coins in the insertion unit 22. That is, a notification that an abnormality occurs and urges the operator to take measures to eliminate the abnormality is performed. Thereby, the operator notices that an abnormality has occurred, and for example, interrupts the act of opening the opening / closing part 26. Further, the operator removes the coins remaining in the insertion unit 22. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coins remaining in the insertion unit 22 from being scattered. In addition, in order for the alerting | reporting part 110 to prevent scattering of a coin more effectively, it is desirable to start alerting | reporting immediately after the opening / closing part 26 begins to open.

  The notification unit 110 according to the present embodiment includes a display unit 50, a light emitting unit 60, and a sound output unit 70. By having the three types of notification units in this manner, it is possible to notify the operator in various forms, so that the operator can easily notice that an abnormality has occurred when the opening / closing unit 26 is open. .

  The display unit 50 displays information on the display screen and notifies the operator. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the display unit 50 displays information indicating that coins remain in the insertion unit 22. By looking at this display, the operator can easily notice that the coins in the insertion unit 22 may be scattered. As a result, the operator can easily interrupt the act of opening the opening / closing part 26.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen of the display unit 50. In FIG. 7, as information indicating that coins remain in the insertion unit 22, a message M “There is a coin in the insertion slot!” Is displayed. Thereby, the operator intuitively notices that the coins of the insertion unit 22 may be scattered. The message is not limited to the content shown in FIG. 7 and may be any content as long as the operator notices the remaining coins in the insertion unit 22.

  The light emitting unit 60 emits light to notify the operator. For example, the light emitting unit 60 notifies the operator by turning on or blinking light. Since the light emitting unit 60 is provided around the closing unit 22 as described above, it is easy for the operator to notice that there is an abnormality in the closing unit 22 when opening the opening / closing unit 26.

  The sound output unit 70 outputs a sound and notifies the operator. For example, the sound output unit 70 sounds a buzzer as a warning sound to notify the operator. The sound output unit 70 may output one sound or a plurality of sounds. By outputting and notifying the sound, even a visually impaired operator can easily notice the abnormality. Note that the sound output unit 70 may output a sound indicating the remaining coins instead of the warning sound.

  In this embodiment, the display part 50, the light emission part 60, and the sound output part 70 alert | report together. In this way, the plurality of notification means simultaneously notify, so that the operator can easily notice that coins remain in the insertion unit 22 when the opening / closing unit 26 is opened.

  Further, the notification unit 110 may perform notification in a different notification mode according to the remaining state of the coins detected by the coin residual detection unit 102 (for example, the number of remaining coins). For example, when the number of coins remaining in the insertion unit 22 is small, any one of the display unit 50, the light emitting unit 60, and the sound output unit 70 notifies the coins remaining in the insertion unit 22. When the number of sheets is large, the display unit 50, the light emitting unit 60, and the sound output unit 70 may perform notification. Further, when the number of remaining coins is large, the sound of the buzzer by the sound output unit 70 may be increased, and when the number of remaining coins is small, the sound of the buzzer may be decreased. Thereby, the operator can perceive the abnormal level when the opening / closing part 26 opens.

  The notification unit 110 continues the notification while it is detected that the opening / closing unit 26 is opened and it is detected that coins remain in the insertion unit 22. As a result, the operator is likely to be forced to take measures to eliminate the abnormality. On the other hand, the notification unit 110 stops the notification when it is detected that the opening / closing unit 26 is in a closed state after the notification is started or when it is detected that no coins remain in the insertion unit 22. As a result, the operator can perceive that the abnormality has been eliminated.

  In the above description, the display unit 50, the light emitting unit 60, and the sound output unit 70 are provided as the notification unit 110. However, the notification unit 110 is not limited thereto. For example, the notification unit 110 may include at least one of the display unit 50, the light emitting unit 60, and the sound output unit 70. Any one of the notifications makes it possible to notice an abnormality when the opening / closing part 26 opens. Moreover, the display part 50, the light emission part 60, and the sound output part 70 do not need to alert | report together. For example, the number of notifications may be increased as the rotation angle of the opening / closing unit 26 from the closed state increases.

<4. Example of cash processing device operation>
With reference to FIG. 8, an example of operation | movement of the cash processing apparatus 10 which concerns on one Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the cash processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment.

  This operation is realized, for example, when the CPU of the control unit 106 executes a program stored in the ROM. The program to be executed may be stored in a recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), or a memory card, or may be downloaded from a server or the like via the Internet.

  The flowchart of FIG. 8 is started when the operator inserts coins into the insertion unit 22 (step S102). If the operator selects the depositing process after the coins are inserted, the coins in the insertion unit 22 are transported to the storage unit 25 and no coins remain in the insertion unit 22. On the other hand, if the operator does not select the deposit process, coins remain in the insertion unit 22.

  Next, the control unit 106 determines whether or not the open / close unit 26 is opened by the open / close state detection unit 104 (step S104). When a coin jam occurs in the conveyance path of the conveyance unit 24 or the operator accesses the storage unit 25, the operator opens the opening / closing unit 26. When it is determined in step S104 that the opening / closing unit 26 is open (Yes), the control unit 106 determines whether or not coins remain in the insertion unit 22 by the coin residual detection unit 102 (step S106). ).

  When it is determined in step S106 that coins remain (Yes), the control unit 106 notifies the operator by the notification unit 110 (step S108). Specifically, the display unit 50 displays information on the display screen for notification, the light emitting unit 60 emits light for notification, and the sound output unit 70 outputs sound for notification. As a result, the operator notices an abnormality and stops the operation of opening the opening / closing part 26 or removes the coins in the insertion part 22.

  If no coin remains in the insertion unit 22 in step S106 (No), the control unit 106 does not perform notification by the notification unit 110.

  After the notification by the notification unit 110 is started, the control unit 106 determines whether the opening / closing state detection unit 104 detects that the opening / closing unit 26 has been closed, or whether the coin remaining in the insertion unit 22 has been removed by the coin residual detection unit 102 ( Step S110). If it is determined in step S110 that the opening / closing unit 26 is open and coins remain in the insertion unit 22 (No), the control unit 106 continues the notification by the notification unit 110.

  On the other hand, when the opening / closing part 26 is closed in step S110 or the coin of the insertion part 22 is removed (Yes), the control unit 106 ends the notification by the notification unit 110 (step S112). As a result, the operator can understand that the abnormality has been resolved. This completes a series of operations.

<5. Summary>
According to the cash processing apparatus 10 described above, as shown in FIG. 8, the open / close state detection unit 104 detects that the opening / closing unit 26 is opened, and the coin residual detection unit 102 detects the remaining coins in the insertion unit 22. In the case of notification, the notification unit 110 performs notification. Specifically, the display unit 50, the light emitting unit 60, and the sound output unit 70 notify the operator.

  By this notification, the operator notices that coins remain in the insertion unit 22 when the opening / closing unit 26 is opened. For this reason, the operator can prevent scattering of coins remaining in the insertion unit 22 by stopping the act of opening the opening / closing unit 26 or taking out the coins from the insertion unit 22. As a result, it is possible to prevent scattered coins from entering the housing 12, the banknote processing unit 30, and the like.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can come up with various changes or modifications within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. Of course, it is understood that these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
