Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus for depositing / withdrawing banknotes.

  Conventionally, in a banknote processing apparatus for depositing / withdrawing banknotes, in addition to a storage unit for storing banknotes deposited from a deposit port or banknotes to be dispensed to a withdrawal port, a binding unit that binds and bundles banknotes And what is provided with the arrangement | positioning temporary storage part which is connected to a binding part and temporarily hold | maintains the predetermined number (for example, 100 sheets) of banknote used as a binding unit is known (refer patent document 1).

  In such a banknote processing apparatus, it is possible to execute an organization process for organizing a grouped number of loose banknotes. When the organizing process is executed, the number of loose banknotes inserted into the deposit port is counted for each denomination, and the denominations of the denominations to be bound (hereinafter referred to as “binding denominations”) They are bundled by banding to form bundled banknotes (banded banknotes), and are divided into bundled banknotes of the binding target denomination and rose banknotes outside the binding target denomination. The bundled banknotes of the divided binding denomination and the rose banknotes outside the binding target denomination are taken out from the banknote processing apparatus by the user.

JP 2010-170175 A

  The bundled banknotes generated by the organizing process look good and easy to handle when the top and bottom of each banknote are aligned. Therefore, it is conceivable that the banknote handling apparatus has a configuration in which the top and bottom directions of the inserted banknotes are identified and the banknotes having the same top and bottom direction are stacked and bundled in the organizing function.

  In such a configuration, banknotes whose top and bottom direction is different from the banknotes to be bundled are once dispensed and then reinserted and bound to form a bundled banknote with the top and bottom aligned. it can. However, with such a configuration, if banknotes with different top and bottom directions are counted in the same way as banknotes outside the binding target denomination in the process until they are paid out, banknotes with different top and bottom directions are re-inserted. When counting when bundled, the two counts will be performed together, which may cause a problem that an error occurs in the total number of inserted bills.

  In view of such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a banknote processing apparatus capable of generating a bundled banknote having an upright position while accurately counting banknotes in the organizing process.

  A banknote handling apparatus according to a main aspect of the present invention includes a depositing unit into which banknotes are inserted, a storing unit in which banknotes inserted into the depositing unit are stored, and a withdrawal in which banknotes fed out from the storing unit are paid out. A deposit reject unit from which banknotes thrown into the deposit unit are paid out, a bundling unit that binds a plurality of banknotes, a bundle withdrawal unit from which banknotes bound by the bundling unit are dispensed, and the deposit unit An identification unit that identifies the direction of the top and bottom of the banknotes inserted into the banknote, and an organization execution unit that executes an organization process for organizing the banknotes inserted into the depositing unit. Here, in the organizing process, the organizing execution unit counts the banknotes that are not to be bound among the banknotes that have been inserted into the depositing unit before the banknotes are taken out to the outside, and is inserted into the depositing unit. Of the banknotes, banknotes that are to be bound and whose top direction is in a predetermined direction are counted and bound by the binding section, and the bound banknotes are paid out to the bundle dispensing section, and the banknotes to be bound Then, the banknote whose ground direction faces the predetermined direction is paid out to the deposit reject unit.

  According to said structure, the banknote of the binding object from which the top direction turns to a predetermined direction among the inserted banknotes can be made into the bundle banknote in which the top and bottom are aligned by the first sorting process. Then, the banknotes to be bundled with the ground direction facing the predetermined direction, which have been paid out to the deposit rejection unit by the first sorting process, are re-inserted with the top direction facing the predetermined direction, and the second sorting process is executed. By doing so, these banknotes can be made into bundled banknotes with the top and bottom aligned. As described above, according to the above configuration, by executing the organizing process twice, it is possible to count the bills inserted as the organizing target, and among the inserted bills, the banknote of the binding target denomination. Can be made into a bundled banknote with all the top and bottom. In addition, since the banknotes whose ground direction is directed to the predetermined direction are counted when they are paid out to the deposit reject unit and bound by re-injection, double counting is not performed by two arrangement processes. Therefore, it is possible to accurately count the banknotes thrown in as an organizing target.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the banknote processing apparatus which can produce | generate the bundle banknote with which the top and bottom were equalized can be provided, correctly performing the count of a banknote in an arrangement | sequence process.

  The terminal control unit 202 displays, on the operation display unit 201 (display 211), an initial screen such as a loose banknote deposit process, a loose banknote withdrawal process, a bundled banknote withdrawal process, a banknote sorting process, and a banknote bundling process (described later). Displays a menu screen for selecting various processes. When the banknote sorting process is selected from the menu screen, the banknote sorting process by the terminal control unit 202 shown in FIG. 4 is started. Note that when banknote sorting processing is performed, a certain amount of loose banknotes to be sorted is put into the depositing unit 101 by the user.

  The terminal control unit 202 displays a start operation screen on the operation display unit 201 (display 211) (S101). As shown in “Screen A” in FIG. 6, the start operation screen includes a process name display area R11 in which a process currently being executed is displayed, a main information display area R12 in which main information is displayed, and subordinate information. It includes a sub information display area R13 to be displayed and an operation area R14 in which operation buttons are displayed. In the process name display area R11 of the start operation screen, “arrangement” indicating that the current process is the banknote arrangement process is displayed. In the main information display area R12, an image that prompts the user to insert the banknotes to be sorted into the depositing unit 101 is displayed. Furthermore, in the sub-information display area R13, a display indicating whether the denomination to be bound is the first denomination or the second denomination (displayed as “one denomination” in “screen A”) and the banknotes to be bound are A display indicating that the top and bottom are aligned is made. Furthermore, a start button B11 for performing a start operation and a cancel button B12 for performing a cancel operation are displayed in the operation region R14.

  The terminal control unit 202 monitors whether a start operation using the start button B11 has been performed or whether a cancel operation has been performed using the cancel button B12 (S102, S103).

  The user performs a start operation after putting banknotes to be sorted into the depositing unit 101. When the start operation is performed (S102: YES), the terminal control unit 202 instructs the device control unit 116 to start organizing (S104). Then, the terminal control unit 202 displays an arrangement execution screen on the operation display unit 201 (S105).

  As shown in “Screen B” in FIG. 6, the organizing execution screen includes a processing name display area R11, a main information display area R12, a sub information display area R13, and an operation area R14, similarly to the start operation screen. In the organization execution screen, a first window W11 related to banknotes of the binding target denomination and a second window W12 related to banknotes outside the binding target denomination are arranged in the main information display area R12. In the first window W11, the number and amount of the bundled banknotes generated and the number and amount of the fractional banknotes are displayed for each denomination. In the second window W12, the number and amount of banknotes not to be sorted (outside the binding target denomination) are displayed for each denomination. Further, a completion button B13 for performing a completion operation and a continuation start button B14 for performing a start operation for subsequent arrangement are displayed in the operation region R14.

  When the banknote sorting process has not started on the banknote processing machine 10 side and no counting result has been sent, the number of bundles, the number of sheets, and the amount of money are all displayed as “0”. In addition, as a result of the banknote sorting process on the banknote processing machine 10 side, banknotes paid out to the deposit rejection unit 102 (banked bills and banknotes having different top and bottom directions) are not taken out from the deposit rejection unit 102. The completion button B13 and the continuation start button B14 are grayed out, and the operation buttons B13 and B14 cannot be operated. When the banknote sorting process is started on the banknote handling machine 10 side and the counting result is sent, the display of information such as the number of bundles, the number of sheets, and the amount of money of the first window W11 and the second window W12 is updated in real time. .

  When the terminal control unit 202 instructs to start sorting, the banknote sorting process by the device control unit 116 shown in FIG. 5 is started. This banknote arrangement process includes an arrangement process consisting of the processes of S201 to S211. The organizing process including the processes of S201 to S211 corresponds to the “organizing process” described in the claims.

  The device control unit 116 feeds the banknotes one by one from the depositing unit 101 (S201), and identifies the attributes (such as denomination, front and back, top and bottom direction) of the fed banknotes by the identification unit 106 (S202). Next, as a result of the identification in the identification unit 106, the device control unit 116 passes the banknote through the inversion path 107 a of the front / back alignment unit 107 and faces the front when the identified banknote is facing the reverse side. The banknotes are reversed so that the front and back sides of the banknotes are aligned (S203).

  Next, the device control unit 116 determines whether or not the identified banknote is a banknote of a binding target denomination from the result of the identification in the identification unit 106 (S204). In the present embodiment, when the binding denomination is one denomination, the denomination first identified by the identification unit 106 is set as the binding denomination, and the binding target denomination is two denominations. The denomination identified first by the identification unit 106 and the denomination identified second are set as the binding denomination. The binding target denomination is not automatically set in this way, but the binding target denomination may be designated in advance by a user operation.

  When the identified banknote is not a banknote of the binding target denomination (S204: NO), the device control unit 116 counts banknotes outside the binding target denomination and controls the transport unit 105 to control the binding target denomination. An outside banknote is conveyed to the temporary storage part 108 (S205). In addition, the flow in the banknote processing machine 10 of the banknote outside the binding object denomination deposited in the depositing unit 101 is as shown by a solid line arrow in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the identified banknote is a banknote of a binding target denomination (S204: YES), the device control unit 116 determines whether or not the top direction of the banknote faces the banknote transport direction by the transport unit 105. (S206).

  When the top direction of the identified banknote does not face the transport direction, that is, when the ground direction of the banknote faces the transport direction (S206: NO), the device control unit 116 controls the transport unit 105. Then, the bill is conveyed to the deposit rejection unit 102 without counting (S207). On the other hand, when the top direction of the identified banknote faces the transport direction (S206: YES), the device control unit 116 counts the banknotes and controls the transport unit 105 to stack the banknotes in the stacking unit 111a. , 111b (S208). At this time, if the binding denomination is one denomination, the banknote is conveyed to any stacking unit, for example, the lower stacking unit 111b. If the binding denomination is two denominations, one denomination banknote is conveyed to the upper stacking unit 111a, and the other denomination banknote is transported to the lower stacking unit 111b.

  Next, the device control unit 116 determines whether or not the banknotes in the stacking units 111a and 111b have reached the number of bundles (S209). When the banknotes reach the number of bundles (S209: YES), the device control unit 116 controls the binding section 112 to bind the bundled number of banknotes with a band seal to generate a bundled banknote (S210). And the apparatus control part 116 counts the produced | generated bundle banknote, controls the raising part 113 and the bundle conveyance part 114, and conveys the bundle banknote to the bundle payment part 104 (S211).

  In addition, the flow in the banknote processing machine 10 of the banknote processing machine 10 in which the top direction turns to a conveyance direction among the banknotes of the binding object denomination deposited to the deposit part 101 will be shown to the solid line arrow of FIG.7 (b). . On the other hand, the flow of banknotes in the banknote handling machine 10 with the ground direction facing the transport direction is indicated by a solid line arrow in FIG. 7B until it passes through the front / back aligning section 107, and downstream of the front / back aligning section 107. From the branch portion of the position, it is shown by a broken line arrow.

  The device control unit 116 repeats the processing of S201 to S211 until all banknotes inserted into the depositing unit 101 are paid out (S212: NO). Note that the count results in S205, S208, and S211 are notified to the terminal control unit 202 by the device control unit 116 in real time. When all banknotes have been paid out (S212: YES), the device control unit 116 notifies the terminal control unit 202 that all banknotes have been paid out (S213).

  Returning to FIG. 4, when the completion of feeding is notified from the device control unit 116, the terminal control unit 202 determines in S106 that the banknote arrangement has been completed (S <b> 106: YES). At this time, as shown in “screen C” in FIG. 6, in the first window W11 of the arrangement execution screen, in addition to the total amount of the arranged banknotes, the final bundle number and final amount of the generated bundle banknotes, and the fraction The final number of banknotes and the final amount are displayed for each denomination. In addition, in the second window W12, in addition to the total amount of banknotes not to be sorted (outside the binding target denomination), the final number and final amount of banknotes not to be sorted are displayed for each denomination. Here, 420 sheets of 10,000 yen banknotes (= 4.2 million yen) with the top direction facing the transport direction are counted, four bundles of banknotes are generated, and 20 (= 20,000 yen) fractional banknotes are stacked 111a. , 111b. Moreover, after the banknotes other than 10,000 yen for 500,000 yen are counted, they are held in the temporary holding unit 108. In addition, although it is a banknote (10,000 yen banknote) of a binding object denomination, since it does not count about the banknote paid out to the money_receiving | payment rejection part 102 by the difference in the top and bottom direction, the number which concerns on these banknotes And the amount of money are not included in the organizing execution screen.

  Next, the terminal control unit 202 determines whether or not a banknote has been taken out from the deposit rejection unit 102 (S107). At this time, although not shown in “screen C” in FIG. 6, it is desirable that the terminal control unit 202 displays a pop-up notification window on the operation display unit 201 that prompts the user to remove the banknote.

  When a bill is taken out from the deposit reject unit 102, the device control unit 116 notifies the terminal control unit 202 that the bill has been taken out. When the bill is taken out from the deposit reject unit 102, the gray-out display of the completion button B13 and the continuation start button B14 is canceled as shown in “Screen C” in FIG. 6, and the operation buttons B13 and B14 can be operated.

  When the banknote is taken out from the deposit reject unit 102 (S107: YES), the terminal control unit 202 monitors whether the completion operation by the completion button B13 has been performed or the start operation by the continuation start button B14 has been performed (S108, S109).

  The user inputs (re-injects) the banknotes taken out from the deposit reject unit 102 into the deposit unit 101 in a state where the top direction of the banknotes is in the transport direction, and performs a start operation.

  When the start operation is performed (S109: YES), the terminal control unit 202 instructs the device control unit 116 to start organizing (S110).

  Returning to FIG. 5, after notifying completion of feeding in S <b> 212, the device control unit 116 monitors whether a bill return instruction has been received from the terminal control unit 202 or a sorting start instruction has been received (S <b> 214, S215).

  When receiving an instruction to start organizing (S215: YES), the device control unit 116 performs the second organizing process including the processes of S201 to S211. Since the banknote thrown into the deposit part 101 for the second time is a banknote to be bound and whose top direction is the transport direction, all these banknotes are transported to the stacking parts 111a and 111b, and the stacking parts 111a and 111b. It is added to the bill of fractions. When the banknotes in the stacking units 111 a and 111 b reach the number of bundles, the banknotes are bound by the binding unit 112 to generate bundled banknotes, and the generated bundled banknotes are paid out to the bundle dispensing unit 104. In this way, when the second sorting process is executed, all the loose banknotes of the binding target denomination are converted into the binding banknotes of the binding target denomination that are aligned not only on the front and back sides, but also on the top and bottom.

  The bills inserted into the depositing unit 101 for the second time are counted when being bundled into a bundled bill, and the count result is notified to the terminal control unit 202 by the device control unit 116. As a result, the terminal control unit 202 adds the counting result obtained by adding the counting result obtained by the second organizing process to the counting result obtained by the first organizing process, as shown in “Screen D” in FIG. 6. The window is displayed on the operation display unit 201 by the one window W11 and the second window W12. Here, 80 10,000 yen banknotes are counted by the second sorting process, a new bundle of banknotes is generated, and five bundles of banknotes are generated together with the first fraction banknote. No fractional banknotes remain in the stacking units 111a and 111b. Thus, the user performs a completion operation when the second organizing process is completed.

  Returning to FIG. 4, when the completion operation is performed on the organization execution screen (S108: YES), the terminal control unit 202 causes the printer 30 to print the organization result journal as shown in FIG. 8 (S111). In the journal of the arrangement result, for example, the number of bundles of banknotes of the binding target denomination (number of arrangement bundles), the number of banknotes of the denomination of the binding target denomination (sorting fraction), and the number and amount of banknotes for the count Are displayed for each denomination and the total number of counts is displayed. Thereafter, the terminal control unit 202 instructs the temporary storage unit 108 to return the banknotes outside the binding target denomination (S112), closes the organizing execution screen, and displays the start operation screen on the operation display unit 201 again. It is displayed (S101). When the user performs a cancel operation using the cancel button B12 on the start operation screen (S103: YES), the terminal control unit 202 ends the banknote sorting process. The start operation screen is closed, and the menu screen is displayed again on the operation display unit 201.

  Returning to FIG. 5, upon receiving a bill return instruction from the terminal control unit 202 (S <b> 214: YES), the device control unit 116 feeds out banknotes outside the binding target denomination from the temporary storage unit 108 and controls the transport unit 105. Then, the fed banknote is conveyed to the dispensing unit 103 (S216). When conveyance of the banknote to the dispensing unit 103 is finished, the device control unit 116 ends the banknote arrangement process. In addition, when fractional banknotes remain in the stacking units 111a and 111b, fractional banknotes are also collected.

  Thus, when the banknote arrangement process by the terminal control unit 202 and the device control unit 116 is completed, the user takes out the bundled banknote of the binding target denomination from the bundle dispensing unit 104 and binds from the dispensing unit 103. Take out banknotes out of denomination. Furthermore, if the banknotes of fractional binding object denomination remain in the stacking units 111a and 111b, the user collects these banknotes from the outlets of the stacking units 111a and 111b.

<Banknote bundling process>
In the banknote processing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the banknote binding process which binds the banknote thrown into the money_receiving | payment part 101 is further performed. When the banknote bundling process is executed, the rose banknotes inserted into the depositing unit 101 are bundled with a band seal to form a bundled banknote (bundled banknote) and are dispensed from the banknote processing apparatus 1. In the banknote bundling process, banknotes having the same top and bottom direction are bound together, thereby generating a bundled banknote with the top and bottom aligned. The banknote bundling process is intended to generate a bundled banknote from the inserted rose banknotes, and is not intended to count the entire inserted banknotes. For this reason, in the banknote bundling process, unlike the banknote arrangement process, when a banknote other than the denomination target is mixed in the inserted banknote, the banknote is not counted and is not counted. Excluded from 10. Also, in the banknote bundling process, unlike the banknote arrangement process, the banknotes are automatically converted into bundled banknotes without the user having to re-insert the banknotes that were not bound first into the depositing unit 101 because the direction of the top and bottom is different. be able to.

  In the banknote binding process, the terminal control unit 202 and the device control unit 116 function together as a binding execution unit. The binding execution unit binds the banknotes that are to be bound among the banknotes that have been thrown into the depositing unit 101 and whose top direction is in the transport direction at the binding unit 112, and binds the bound banknotes to the bundle dispensing unit 104. Pay out. Further, the bundling execution unit holds the banknotes to be bound and whose ground direction faces the transport direction in the temporary holding unit 108, and the number of banknotes held in the temporary holding unit 108 is equal to or more than the number of the bindings. In addition, the banknotes are paid out from the temporary storage unit 108 and bound by the binding unit 112, and the bound banknotes are paid out to the bundle dispensing unit 104.

  Hereinafter, the banknote binding process performed by the terminal control unit 202 and the device control unit 116 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the banknote bundling process executed by the terminal control unit 202 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the banknote bundling process executed by the device control unit 116 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the transition of the screen displayed on the operation display unit 201 when the banknote bundling process is executed according to the present embodiment. 12 (a) and 12 (b) are views showing the flow of banknotes of the binding denomination within the banknote handling machine 10 in banknote bundling arrangement according to this embodiment.

  When the banknote binding process is selected from the menu screen displayed on the operation display unit 201, the banknote binding process by the terminal control unit 202 shown in FIG. 9 is started. Note that, when the banknote binding process is performed, a certain amount of loose banknotes to be bound is put into the depositing unit 101 by the user.

  The terminal control unit 202 displays a start operation screen on the operation display unit 201 (S301). As shown in “Screen A” in FIG. 11, the banknote bundling process start operation screen is similar to the banknote sorting process start operation screen, the process name display area R11, the main information display area R12, the sub information display area R13, and the operation. Region R14 is included. In the process name display area R11, “binding” indicating that the current process is the banknote binding process is displayed. Further, in the sub information display area R13, a display indicating that the banknotes to be bound are aligned upside down is performed.

  The terminal control unit 202 monitors whether a start operation using the start button B11 has been performed or whether a cancel operation has been performed using the cancel button B12 (S302, S303).

  The user performs a start operation after inserting the banknotes to be bundled into the depositing unit 101. When the start operation is performed (S302: YES), the terminal control unit 202 instructs the device control unit 116 to start binding (S304). Then, the terminal control unit 202 displays a bundling execution screen on the operation display unit 201 (S305).

  As shown in “Screen B” in FIG. 11, the bundling execution screen includes a processing name display area R11, a main information display area R12, a sub information display area R13, and an operation area R14, similarly to the start operation screen. On the bundling execution screen, an information display window W13 related to the bundled banknotes is arranged in the main information display area R12. The information display window W13 displays the number of bundled banknotes and the amount of money, and the number and amount of fractional banknotes. Further, a completion button B13 for performing a completion operation is displayed in the operation area R14.

  When the banknote bundling process is not started on the banknote processing machine 10 side and no counting result has been sent, the number of bundles, the number of sheets, and the amount of money are all displayed as “0”. Further, while the generation of all bundled banknotes is not completed, the completion button B13 is displayed in gray out, and the completion button B13 cannot be operated. When the banknote binding process is started on the banknote processing machine 10 side and the counting result is sent, the information display window W13 displays information such as the number of bundles, the number of sheets, and the amount of money in real time.

  When the terminal control unit 202 instructs to start binding, the bill binding process by the device control unit 116 shown in FIG. 10 is started.

  The device control unit 116 feeds out banknotes one by one from the depositing unit 101 (S401), and the attributes (denomination, front / back, top / bottom direction, etc.) of the fed banknotes are identified by the identification unit 106 (S402). Next, as a result of the identification in the identification unit 106, the device control unit 116 passes the banknote through the inversion path 107 a of the front / back alignment unit 107 and faces the front when the identified banknote is facing the reverse side. The banknotes are reversed so that the front and back sides of the banknotes are aligned (S403).

  Next, the device control unit 116 determines whether or not the identified banknote is a banknote of a binding target denomination from the result of identification in the identification unit 106 (S404). The denomination first identified by the identification unit 106 is set as the binding denomination. The binding target denomination is not automatically set in this way, but the binding target denomination may be designated in advance by a user operation.

  When the identified banknote is not a banknote of the binding target denomination (S404: NO), the device control unit 116 controls the transport unit 105 to count the deposit rejection unit 102 without counting the banknotes outside the binding target denomination. (S405).

  On the other hand, when the identified banknote is a banknote of the binding target denomination (S404: YES), the device control unit 116 determines whether or not the top direction of the banknote faces the transport direction (S406).

  When the top direction of the identified banknote does not face the transport direction, that is, when the ground direction of the banknote faces the transport direction (S406: NO), the device control unit 116 counts the banknotes, The conveyance part 105 is controlled and the banknote is conveyed to the temporary storage part 108 (S407). On the other hand, when the top direction of the identified banknote faces the transport direction (S406: YES), the device control unit 116 counts the banknotes and controls the transport unit 105 to stack the banknotes in the stacking unit 111a. , 111b are conveyed to a predetermined stacking unit, for example, the lower stacking unit 111b (S408).

  Next, the device control unit 116 determines whether or not the banknotes in the stacking unit 111b have reached the number of bundles (S409). When the banknotes reach the number of bundles (S409: YES), the device control unit 116 controls the binding unit 112 to bind the bundled number of banknotes with a band seal to generate a bundled banknote (S410). And the apparatus control part 116 counts the produced | generated bundle banknote, controls the conveyance part 113 and the bundle conveyance part 114, and conveys the bundle banknote to the bundle payment part 104 (S411).

  The device control unit 116 repeats the processing of S401 to S411 until all banknotes inserted into the depositing unit 101 are paid out (S412: NO). The count results in S407, S408, and S411 are notified to the terminal control unit 202 by the device control unit 116 in real time.

  In this way, the banknotes of the binding target denominations whose top direction faces the transport direction are converted into bundled banknotes and delivered to the bundle dispensing unit 104 in the flow indicated by the solid line arrows in FIG. On the other hand, the banknote of the binding target denomination whose ground direction faces the transport direction is indicated by a solid arrow until it passes through the front / back aligning portion 107 in FIG. Is temporarily held by the temporary holding unit 108 in the flow indicated by the dashed arrow.

  When all the banknotes are paid out (S412: YES), the device control unit 116 determines whether or not there are banknotes in the temporary storage unit 108 (S413). If there is a bill in the temporary holding unit 108 (S413: YES), the device control unit 116 further determines whether or not the existing bill is equal to or greater than the number of bundles (S414).

  When the number of banknotes existing in the temporary storage unit 108 is equal to or greater than the number of bundles (S414: YES), the device control unit 116 pays out the banknotes from the temporary storage unit 108 and transports them to the lower stacking unit 111b, and reaches the number of bundles. The banknotes are bound by the binding unit 112 to generate a bundled banknote (S415). And the apparatus control part 116 counts the produced | generated bundle banknote, and conveys it to the bundle payment part 104 (S416). Note that the banknotes in the temporary storage unit 108 are fed out to the transport unit 105 in a state where the top direction faces the transport direction. In this way, the banknotes more than the number of bundles held in the temporary storage unit 108 are converted into bundled banknotes and discharged to the bundle dispensing unit 104 in the flow indicated by the solid line arrows in FIG. After the bundled banknotes are generated and paid out, the process returns to the determination as to whether or not there are banknotes in the temporary holding unit 108 again (S413), and the process is repeated.

  On the other hand, when the banknote which exists in the temporary storage part 108 is less than the number of binding (S414: NO), the apparatus control part 116 pays out a banknote from the temporary storage part 108, and conveys it to the withdrawal part 103 (S417).

  When there is no bill in the temporary storage unit 108, the device control unit 116 notifies the terminal control unit 202 that the binding of bills has been completed (S418). Even when the banknote of the temporary storage unit 108 has been paid out to the withdrawal unit 103, and when the banknote of the temporary storage unit 108 has been turned into a bundle of banknotes and has been paid out to the bundle withdrawal unit 104, there is no device control. The unit 116 notifies the terminal control unit 202 that the binding of banknotes has been completed (S418). And the apparatus control part 116 complete | finishes a banknote binding process.

  Returning to FIG. 9, when the completion of binding is notified from the device control unit 116 (S <b> 306: YES), the terminal control unit 202 confirms that the binding of banknotes has been completed, as shown in “Screen C” in FIG. 11. A notification window W14 is displayed as a pop-up on the bundling execution screen (S307). At this time, the information display window W13 on the bundling execution screen includes, in addition to the counted final amount of banknotes, the final bundle number and final amount of the generated banknotes and the final number and final amount of fractional banknotes. Displayed for each species. Further, the gray-out display of the completion button B13 is canceled, and the operation of the completion button B13 becomes possible.

  When the completion operation is performed by the user (S308: YES), the terminal control unit 202 closes the arrangement execution screen and displays the start operation screen on the operation display unit 201 again (S301). When the user performs a cancel operation using the cancel button B12 on the start operation screen (S303: YES), the terminal control unit 202 ends the banknote binding process. The start operation screen is closed, and the menu screen is displayed again on the operation display unit 201.

  In this way, when the banknote bundling process by the terminal control unit 202 and the device control unit 116 is completed, the user takes out a bundled banknote of the binding target denomination from the bundle dispensing unit 104. If there are banknotes in the deposit reject unit 102 and the withdrawal unit 103, these banknotes are taken out. Furthermore, if a fractional banknote remains in the stacking unit 111b, the user collects the banknote from the outlet of the stacking unit 111b.

<Effect of embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.

  By executing the banknote sorting process, it is possible to count the banknotes thrown in as a banking target, and to make the banknotes of the binding target denomination out of the banknotes thrown into a bundled banknote with the top and bottom aligned. .

  In the banknote sorting process, banknotes of denominations to be bound (banknotes whose ground direction faces the transport direction) that are not bundled at the first insertion because they have different top and bottom directions are paid to the deposit rejecting unit 102 without being counted. Since it is counted when it is taken out and bound by re-injection, double counting is not performed. Therefore, it is possible to accurately count the banknotes thrown in as an organizing target.

  Further, in the banknote sorting process, banknotes out of the binding target denomination out of the inserted banknotes are paid out to the withdrawal unit 103, so that the user is outside the binding target denomination from the banknote processing machine 10 (temporary holding unit 108). It is not necessary to collect the banknote, and the user's trouble can be saved.

  Further, in the banknote sorting process, when the second sorting process (S201 to S211) is executed for the re-inserted banknote, the sorting execution screen displayed on the operation display unit 201 displays the second sorting process. Since the counting result obtained by adding the counting result of the banknote to the counting result of the banknote in the first sorting process is output, the user can easily grasp the final counting result on the sorting execution screen.

  Further, by executing the banknote bundling process, it is possible to turn the banknotes thrown in as a bundling target into a bundled banknote having a uniform top and bottom. In addition, since the banknotes that were not bound first are automatically bound because the directions of the top and bottom are different, there is no need for the user to re-insert these banknotes.

  Furthermore, in the banknote binding process, banknotes that are not bound first are stored in the temporary storage unit 108, and when the number of banknotes stored is equal to or greater than the number of sheets that can be bound (the number of bindings), It is drawn out and united. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the banknotes from being sent to the binding unit 112 side in spite of the insufficient number.

  Furthermore, in the banknote binding process, when the number of banknotes held in the temporary storage unit 108 is less than the number of sheets that can be bound (the number of bindings), these banknotes are paid out to the dispensing unit 103. Therefore, the user does not have to collect the banknotes that have not been bundled directly from the temporary storage unit 108 in the apparatus, and the user's trouble can be saved.

  Furthermore, in the banknote binding process, banknotes outside the binding target denomination are paid out to the deposit reject unit 102. Therefore, the user does not need to collect banknotes outside the binding target denomination from the banknote processing machine 10, and can save the user's trouble.

<Example of change>
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications other than the above can be made to the embodiments of the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, in the banknote sorting process and the banknote bundling process, banknotes of a binding target denomination whose top direction faces the transport direction are transported to the stacking units 111a and 111b and bound by the binding unit 112, and the ground direction is The banknote of the binding target denomination facing the transport direction was transported to the deposit rejection unit 102. However, on the contrary, banknotes of the binding target denomination whose ground direction faces the transport direction are transported to the stacking units 111a and 111b and bound by the binding unit 112, and the binding target denomination whose top direction faces the transport direction. May be conveyed to the deposit reject unit 102.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, in the banknote arrangement process, the banknotes outside the binding target denomination were counted and held in the temporary holding unit 108 and then paid out to the withdrawal unit 103. However, banknotes outside the binding target denomination may be held in the temporary holding unit 108 without being paid out to the dispensing unit 103. In this case, the user opens the door 15 and collects the banknotes outside the binding target denomination from the temporary storage unit 108. Moreover, after the banknotes outside the binding target denomination are counted, they may be paid out to the dispensing unit 103 without being held in the temporary holding unit 108.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, in the banknote binding process, the banknote which was not bound first is hold | maintained at the temporary storage part 108, and when the number of the banknotes hold | maintained is more than the number of binding, it is drawn out from the temporary storage part 108. And united. However, even if the number of banknotes held is not equal to or greater than the number of bundles, if there are fractional banknotes in the stacking unit 111b, the total number of the banknotes of the temporary storage unit 108 and the fractional banknotes is equal to or greater than the number of bundles. For example, banknotes can be bound. Therefore, when the subtracted number obtained by subtracting the number of bills from the number of bundles is a predetermined number that can be bound, and when the number of bills held is equal to or greater than the number of subtracted, the bills are fed out from the temporary storage unit 108. May be bound together. Furthermore, in the banknote binding process, banknotes that are not bound first may not be stored in the temporary storage unit 108 but may be paid out to the deposit rejection unit 102.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the banknote handling machine 10 is provided with one temporary storage unit 108. However, a corresponding temporary holding unit may be provided for each of the denomination storage units 110a to 110c. In this case, in the banknote binding process, the banknote of the binding target denomination whose ground direction faces the transport direction is held in the temporary storage unit corresponding to the denomination storage unit assigned to the denomination.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, the banknote of the binding object denomination whose ground direction faces a conveyance direction was conveyed by the money_receiving | payment rejection part 102, without counting (refer S207 of FIG. 5). However, the counting process may be performed before being transferred to the deposit reject unit 102. However, in this case, the count result is processed separately without being added to the count result of the bundled banknotes (banknotes whose top direction faces the transport direction). For example, it may be collated with the counting result of banknotes when the top and bottom directions are changed and reinserted.

  Furthermore, the banknote processing apparatus of this invention is not limited to the banknote processing apparatus 1 illustrated to the said embodiment, For example, this invention is the new ticket payment apparatus which performs payment of a new ticket, money type temporary. The present invention can also be applied to a banknote processing apparatus such as a banknote processing apparatus including a holding unit and a composite processing apparatus that processes securities in addition to banknotes.

  In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can be appropriately changed within the scope of the claims.
