The main control unit 3 that has recognized the execution of the inserted banknote sealing process by pressing the selection button displays a selection screen of the sealed banknote information on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, and the clerk performs the operation using the operation display unit 6. The denomination of the banknote to be sealed, the sealing type, and the distribution degree contamination level are input by selection.
The main control unit 3 that has received this selection input temporarily stores the input sealed banknote information in the storage unit 4, and indicates that the inserted banknote sealing process is being performed on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. While displaying the inserted banknote sealing process screen displaying the wording or the like, the execution instruction of the inserted banknote sealing process with the temporarily stored sealed banknote information is transmitted to the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 1.

  The control part 11 which received the execution instruction | indication of the insertion processing of the insertion banknote stores the sealing banknote information of an execution command in the sealing information storage area of the storage area 11a, and supplies it to the banknote insertion slot 12a of the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 12. When waiting for the insertion of banknotes and the clerk inputs a plurality of banknotes to be sealed into the banknote insertion slot 12a, the control unit 11 that has recognized this, inserts the inserted banknotes 1 by the feeding mechanism of the banknote insertion slot 12a. Sheets are fed one by one to the banknote transport path 19 and transported to the carry-in end of the banknote discrimination section 13 (the right end of the banknote discrimination section 13 in FIG. 1). Distinguish front and back.

When the discrimination result by the bill discriminating unit 13 is a fake bill such as a fake bill or a foreign bill, the control unit 11 transports the deposited reject bill to the bill temporary holding unit 14 through the bill transport path 19 and temporarily holds it.
When the discrimination result is a banknote that is contrary to the sealed banknote information stored in the sealing information storage area of the storage area 11a, that is, any one of the denomination of the sealed banknote information, the sealing type, and the distribution degree corruption level. In the case of banknotes that are not sealed, that are different from each other or that exceed the input level, the control unit 11 transports the banknotes that are not sealed to the banknote temporary storage unit 14 and temporarily holds them.

When the discrimination result is a sealed banknote, that is, a banknote that conforms to the sealed banknote information and is a front banknote set as the sealing surface information stored in the storage area 11a, the control unit 11 controls the sealing banknote. The banknotes are conveyed from the carry-out end of the banknote discriminating section 13 to the sealed banknote stacking section 18a of the sealing section 18 through the banknote transport path 19 and accumulated, and the sealed banknotes are counted by the sealed banknote stacking number counting area of the storage area 11a. The number of stacked banknotes stacked in the stacking unit 18a is counted.
When the discrimination result between the front and back of the banknote is the reverse side opposite to the front set as the sealing surface information stored in the storage area 11 a, the control unit 11 takes the reverse side banknote from the carry-out end of the banknote discrimination unit 13. It is conveyed to the banknote reject part 12b by the conveyance path 19, and is accumulated.

  When the banknotes accumulated in the banknote reject unit 12b reach the capacity of the banknote reject unit 12b, the conveyance of the inserted banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 12a is temporarily stopped, and the banknotes accumulated in the banknote reject unit 12b are stacked. After being transported to the bill insertion slot 12a by the transport mechanism in the state and accumulated in the stacked state above the inserted bill remaining in the bill insertion slot 12a, the feeding of the bill from the bill insertion slot 12a is resumed.

  When the banknotes accumulated in the banknote reject unit 12b do not reach the capacity of the banknote reject unit 12b, when the feeding of banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 12a is finished and the conveyance of banknotes is stopped, the banknote reject unit 12b After the accumulated banknotes are conveyed in the stacked state to the banknote insertion slot 12a by the transport mechanism and accumulated in the banknote insertion slot 12a in the stacked state, the feeding of the banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 12a is resumed.

  In this case, the banknotes collected in the banknote reject unit 12b are conveyed in the stacked state to the banknote insertion slot 12a and fed out from the banknote insertion slot 12a. Since it is conveyed to the banknote discrimination part 13 in the state where the front and back sides are reversed, that is, in the front state, the banknote discrimination part 13 discriminates from the sealed banknote. Are conveyed to the sealed banknote stacking unit 18a and stacked, and the number of stacked sheets is counted.

  The control unit 11 then moves to the sealed banknote stacking unit 18a of the sealing unit 18 when the count number of the sealed banknote stacking number count area in the storage area 11a reaches a specified number (100 in this embodiment). When the number of stacked sheets reaches the specified number, the feeding of banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 12a is stopped, and the sealed banknotes stacked in the sealed banknote stacking section 18a are conveyed to the banknote binding section 18b in a stacked state. The banknote bundle is formed, and the banknote bundle is discharged from the banknote bundle outlet 18c and delivered to the staff.

  When it is not necessary to continue the sealing process after the delivery of the banknote bundle, that is, when the clerk performs the process end operation by the operation display unit 6, the control unit 11 determines whether or not there is a banknote remaining in the banknote insertion slot 12a. , And the receipt rejected banknote temporarily held in the banknote temporary storage part 14 and the presence or absence of the banknote not to be sealed are confirmed, and there is no banknote in the banknote temporary storage part 14, and the residual banknote is in the banknote insertion slot 12a. If it does not exist, the sealing process for the inserted bill is terminated.

  If there is no banknote in the banknote temporary storage unit 14 and there is a remaining banknote in the banknote insertion slot 12a, the main control unit 3 is notified of the presence of the remaining banknote in the banknote insertion slot 12a. The main control unit 3 that has received the message displays on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 a residual banknote removal request screen that displays a statement that prompts the banknote insertion slot 12a to remove the banknote, and confirms receipt by the staff. Then, the sealing process for the inserted banknote is terminated.

  When a banknote exists in the banknote temporary storage part 14, the banknote which exists in the banknote temporary storage part 14 is drawn out to the banknote conveyance path 19 with a feeding mechanism, is conveyed to the banknote insertion slot 12a, and a residual banknote exists in the banknote insertion slot 12a. If it is present, it is accumulated on the remaining banknote, and if there is no remaining banknote in the banknote slot 12a, it is directly accumulated in the banknote slot 12a, and after all banknotes in the banknote temporary storage unit 14 have been accumulated. The main control unit 3 is notified of the accumulation of banknotes that are not sealed in the bill insertion slot 12a, and the main control unit 3 that has received this notification displays on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 the bill insertion slot 12a. A screen for requesting removal of non-sealing banknotes, etc., which displays a message prompting the removal of non-sealing banknotes, is displayed, confirmation of receipt by the clerk is made, and sealing processing for the current inserted banknotes is terminated.

In addition, when a staff member performs a continuation operation of the process using the operation display unit 6, the control unit 11 continues the sealing process of the inserted bill in the same manner as described above.
Moreover, when the number of bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 12a is exhausted when the count number of the sealed bill accumulation number count area in the storage area 11a has not reached the specified number, the control unit 11 goes to the main control unit 3. The main control unit 3 that has notified that the banknote needs to be additionally inserted into the banknote insertion slot 12a is urged to prompt the banknote insertion slot 12a to insert the banknote on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. When the banknote to be additionally inserted is displayed on the banknote insertion slot 12a, the control unit 11 that recognizes this displays the inserted banknote sealing process in the same manner as described above. Continue.

  In this case, after the control unit 11 notifies the main control unit 3, when a predetermined time (in this embodiment, 30 seconds) has elapsed, the additional insertion of banknotes cannot be recognized, or the clerk displays the operation display unit. When the processing cancellation operation is performed according to 6, the sealed banknotes accumulated in the sealed banknote stacking unit 18 a of the sealing unit 18 are left in a stacked state, and banknotes exist in the banknote temporary storage unit 14. In the same manner as described above, the banknote is delivered from the banknote insertion slot 12a to the clerk, the receipt by the clerk is confirmed, and the sealing process for the inserted banknote is terminated.

In this case, the message for requesting removal of the non-sealing banknotes to be displayed is additionally displayed with a message that prompts the banknote stacking unit 18a to take out the banknotes to be sealed. The stacked banknotes are stacked from 18a and received.
During such a processing operation of the inserted bill sealing process, the control unit 11 causes the bill discriminating unit 13 to continue the predetermined number of reverse banknotes, which is a predetermined condition of the present embodiment (in this embodiment, 10). When it is recognized that it has been conveyed to the banknote reject unit 12b, it is highly possible that the inserted banknotes that have not yet been fed out from the banknote slot 12a are reverse banknotes. The conveyance of banknotes is stopped, and the main control unit 3 is notified that the conveyance of banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 12a has been stopped.

Receiving this notification, the main control section 3 confirms on the display screen of the operation display section 6 that the conveyance of the banknote from the banknote insertion slot 12a has been stopped and the front and back of the inserted banknote at the banknote insertion slot 12a while the conveyance is stopped. Then, the banknote re-insertion request screen displaying the wording prompting the re-insertion of the banknote after confirmation is displayed, and the clerk who visually recognizes the banknote re-insertion request screen confirms the front and back of the banknote remaining in the banknote insertion slot 12a. Then, the banknotes are aligned on the set front and reinserted into the banknote insertion slot 12a, and the control unit 11 that has recognized this restarts the conveyance of the reinserted banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 12a.
In this way, the inserted bill sealing process of the present embodiment is executed.

  In the case of the withdrawal processing of the withdrawal banknote, when the clerk presses the selection button of “sealing withdrawal banknote” from the menu screen, the main control unit 3 of the cash processing apparatus displays the withdrawal amount by the operation display unit 6. Is displayed, a withdrawal banknote sealing in-progress screen displaying a message indicating that the withdrawal banknote sealing process is in progress, etc. is displayed, and the withdrawal banknote with the accepted withdrawal amount is displayed. The control unit 11 that has transmitted and received the execution instruction for the sealing process stores the withdrawal amount of the execution instruction in the storage area 11a, the sealed banknote information in the sealing information storage area, and the money of the sealed banknote information. Based on the seed, the denomination storage of the banknote storage 15 is specified, the number of the payouts is calculated, and the withdrawal banknotes are fed out one by one to the banknote transport path 19 by the payout mechanism of the denomination storage. It is conveyed to the carry-in end of the section 13, and the banknote discrimination section 13 is used for banknote damage, denomination, front and back, etc Discrimination to.

Subsequent processing operations are the same as in the case of the inserted banknotes, and thus description thereof is omitted.
In addition, in the withdrawal processing of the withdrawal bill, the processing operation when the above-described reverse-side bill is continuously conveyed to the bill rejection unit 12b is not executed.
Thus, the sealing process of the withdrawal banknote of a present Example is performed. The same applies to the case where sealing is required during the withdrawal process of money exchange bills.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the sealing process of inserted banknotes, when a predetermined number of banknotes are continuously conveyed to the banknote insertion slot 12a, the inserted banknotes from the banknote slot 12a automatically. Is temporarily stopped, and a screen prompting re-insertion after confirming the banknotes remaining in the banknote insertion slot 12a is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, so that all inserted banknotes are fed out from the banknote insertion slot 12a. Before, the front and back of the inserted banknote remaining in the banknote insertion slot 12a can be confirmed, and compared with the case where all the inserted banknotes are reverse banknotes, the processing time in the sealing process of the inserted banknotes can be shortened.
