A cassette 150 is provided.

The transport path 105 sandwiches banknotes between opposing transport belts and transports them in a forward / reverse manner. The transport path 105 enables the transport of banknotes between the deposit / withdrawal port 110, the storage 140, and the collection cassette 150.

The deposit / withdrawal port 110 is provided at one end of the transport path 105, and is an insertion port for deposit banknotes and a withdrawal port for withdrawal banknotes. The deposit / withdrawal port 110 is provided with a sensor 112 that detects the passage of banknotes. The sensor 112 is provided between the collection unit where the bills of the deposit / withdrawal port 110 are collected and the transport path 105 connected to the deposit / withdrawal port 110. As a result, it is possible to detect the passage of banknotes delivered from the collection unit of the deposit / withdrawal port 110 to the transport path 105 and banknotes transported from the transport path 105 to the deposit / withdrawal port 110.

Further, the deposit / withdrawal port 110 is provided with a shutter 104 that can be opened / closed. The shutter 104 is opened when the user inserts banknotes or delivers the banknotes drawn out from the storage 140 to the user. At this time, the shutter 104 is accommodated between the deposit / withdrawal port 110 and the collection cassette 150.

The deposit recognition unit 120 is an example of a discrimination unit that discriminates money, and is a discrimination / sensor unit used when depositing banknotes. The deposit recognition unit 120 functions when storing the bills inserted from the deposit / withdrawal port 110 in the storage 140, detects the passage of the bills in the deposit recognition unit 120 by the sensor function, and discriminates the bills by the discrimination function. ..

The withdrawal recognition unit 130 is an example of a discrimination unit that discriminates money, and is a discrimination / sensor unit used when withdrawing banknotes. The withdrawal recognition unit 130 functions when collecting banknotes stored in the storage 140 or withdrawing to the deposit / withdrawal port 110, and detects the passage of banknotes in the withdrawal recognition unit 130 by a sensor function. At the same time, the banknotes are discriminated by the discrimination function.

The storage 140 is a unit provided at the other end of the transport path 105 and stores banknotes determined to be normal banknotes (normal money) by the deposit recognition unit 120. The bill processing unit 100 according to the present embodiment stores a thousand-yen bill (also referred to as "thousand-ticket") storage box 142 and a 5,000-yen bill (also referred to as "5,000-ticket"). It is equipped with a 5,000-ticket storage 144 and a 10,000-ticket storage 146 for storing 10,000-yen banknotes (also referred to as "10,000-tickets") as a storage 140. Each storage 140 is provided with a separate feeding mechanism for separating bills and feeding them to the transport path 105. Further, each storage 140 is provided with sensors 141, 143, and 145 for detecting the passage of banknotes, respectively.

The collection cassette 150 is a unit provided at the other end of the transport path 105 to store banknotes transported from the storage 140. The collection cassette 150 stores banknotes that are determined to be normal by the discrimination of the withdrawal recognition unit 130 (or by the discrimination by the deposit recognition unit 120). Further, inside the collection cassette 150, a reject storage 152 for storing reject bills is provided. The reject storage 152 stores banknotes that have been discriminated from rejected banknotes (rejected money) by the discrimination of the withdrawal recognition unit 130 (or by the discrimination by the deposit recognition unit 120). For example, the reject storage 152 stores banknotes that are determined to be abnormal due to unknown denomination or unknown number of banknotes as a result of discrimination by the withdrawal recognition unit 130. In addition, the reject storage 152 also stores 2,000-yen banknotes that are distinguished from normal banknotes at the time of deposit. That is, the reject storage 152 stores bills that should be distinguished from the normal bills stored in the storage 140. The collection cassette 150 is provided with a sensor 151 for detecting the passage of bills. The recovery cassette 150 is removable from the housing 102. In the collection process, the operator removes the collection cassette 150 from the housing 102, removes the collection bills from the collection cassette 150 (after collection), and then reattaches the collection cassette 150 to the housing 102.

The deposit / withdrawal port 110 and the storage 140 are configured to be capable of transporting banknotes by a transport path 105, and a deposit recognition unit 120 and a withdrawal recognition unit 130 are arranged between them. When the banknotes are identified as normal by the deposit recognition unit 120 at the time of depositing the banknotes and reach the withdrawal recognition unit 130, the switching blades 107 and 108 that switch the transport direction of the banknotes according to the denomination of the banknotes. Is switched and is transported to a predetermined storage 140. Even when the banknotes are withdrawn, the banknotes that have been identified by the withdrawal recognition unit 130 and determined to be normal are transferred to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 by switching the switching blade 106 when the banknotes reach the deposit recognition unit 120.

Further, banknotes can be transported between the collection cassette 150 and the storage 140 by the transport path 105, and a deposit recognition unit 120 and a withdrawal recognition unit 130 are arranged between the collection cassette 150 and the storage 140. At the time of the collection transaction, the banknotes drawn out from the storage 140 (also referred to as “collected banknotes”) are discriminated by the withdrawal recognition unit 130, then passed through the deposit recognition unit 120 and transported to the collection cassette 150. To. The transport direction of the banknotes at this time is switched by the switching blade 106.

In the above description, an example in which the collected banknotes are transported to the collection cassette 150, that is, an example in which the collection cassette 150 functions as a collection unit has been described, but the destination of the collection banknotes is not limited to the collection cassette 150. For example, the collected banknotes may be transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 110, or a collection bag (not shown) may be attached and transported to the collection bag. In the former case, the deposit / withdrawal port 110 functions as a collection unit, and in the latter case, the collection bag functions as a collection unit. In the following, the description will proceed mainly assuming an example in which the collected banknotes are transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 and the deposit / withdrawal port 110 functions as a collection unit.

<Operation of electronic money charging machine 20>
The configuration of the electronic money charging machine 20 and the bill processing unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Subsequently, the operation of the collection process executed by the electronic money charging machine 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As described above, the control unit 26 of the electronic money charging machine 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention manages the internal height of the device. The internal height of the device is the total amount of banknotes existing in the banknote processing unit 100 such as the storage 140 and the reject storage 152, and is a logical value calculated by addition and subtraction from the results of each processing such as deposit processing and withdrawal processing. Is. The control unit 26 determines the internal height of the device, the amount of banknotes to be left in the banknote processing unit 100 designated by the operator (number of sheets or amount of money), and the amount of banknotes collected from the reject storage 152 by the operator during the collection process. Based on this, the bill collection amount, which is the amount of bills to be conveyed from the storage 140 to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 in the collection process, is determined. Then, the control unit 26 conveys the banknotes from the storage 140 to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 by the amount of the determined banknote collection amount. Hereinafter, the operation of the recovery process according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the collection process according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, when the collection process is started by the operator, the control unit 26 determines whether or not there are banknotes in the reject storage 152 from the information on the internal height of the device (S304). When there are banknotes in the reject storage 152 (S304 / Yes), the control unit 26 generates a guidance screen for inducing the removal of the reject storage 152 from the housing 102 and the collection of banknotes from the reject storage 152. The guidance screen is displayed on the operation display unit 24 (S308). As a result, the operator is made to remove the collection cassette 150 including the reject storage 152 from the housing 102 and collect the reject banknotes from the reject storage 152.

After that, the control unit 26 determines whether or not the recovery cassette 150 is mounted on the housing 102 (S312). The control unit 26 waits for the collection cassette 150 to be installed until the collection cassette 150 is installed (S312 / No). If the recovery cut 150 is not attached even after the lapse of a fixed time, the control unit 26 may prompt the user to attach the reject storage by voice or screen display. When the collection cassette 150 is mounted on the housing 102 (S312 / Yes), the control unit 26 causes the operation display unit 24 to display an input screen for inputting the number of rejected banknotes collected by the operator from the reject storage 152. (S316).

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of an input screen for inputting the number of denominations as the amount of rejected banknotes. The input screen 40 shown in FIG. 5 is a message "Please count the collected rejected banknotes and enter the number of denominations" to guide the customer's operation, and input fields 41 to 44 for inputting the number of denominations. , A cancel button 45 for interrupting the process, and a confirmation button 46 for advancing the process. The operator inputs the number of denominations of the rejected banknotes to the operation display unit 24 along the input screen 40. If it is determined in S304 that there are no banknotes in the reject storage 152, the process proceeds to S320 (S304 / No).

Then, the control unit 26 causes the operation display unit 24 to display a leftover designation screen for designating the number of denominations of the leftover bills to be left in the bill processing unit 100 (S320). The operator inputs the number of denominations of the remaining bills to the operation display unit 24 along with the remaining bills designation screen. The method of designating the remaining banknotes is not limited to the designation of the number of denominations, and may be the designation of the amount of money. Further, as the number of denominations of the remaining bills, the number of denominations left in the previous collection process may be used, and in this case, the process of S320 is omitted.

Subsequently, the control unit 26 determines the number of bills to be collected based on the internal height of the device, the number of rejected bills input by the operator, and the number of denominations of the remaining bills (S324). Specifically, the control unit 26 determines the number of bills to be collected by subtracting the number of denominations of the remaining bills and the number of rejected bills from the internal height of the device. That is, the number of bills collected = the amount in the device-the number of denominations of the remaining bills-the number of denominations of the rejected bills. At this time, the control unit 26 may display a confirmation screen for the operator to confirm the number of collected bills on the operation display unit 24.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of a confirmation screen for the operator to confirm the number of collected bills. The confirmation screen 50 shown in FIG. 6 has a display 51 indicating the number of rejected banknote denominations input in S316, a display 52 indicating the number of remaining banknote denominations specified in S320, and a display 53 indicating the number of collected banknotes. , A cancel button 54 for interrupting the process, and a confirmation button 55 for advancing the process. The control unit 26 may determine the number of bills to be collected by the confirmation operation on the confirmation screen 50, that is, by selecting the confirmation button 55.

After that, the control unit 26 controls the banknote processing unit 100 so that the banknotes corresponding to the determined number of banknotes to be collected are transported from the storage 140 to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 (S328). Then, the banknotes conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 are received by the operator (S332). When the number of banknotes conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 matches the number of banknotes collected (S336 / Yes), the control unit 26 updates the internal height of the device with the number of denominations of the remaining banknotes (S340). If the number of banknotes transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 does not match the number of banknotes collected (S336 / No), the process from S328 is repeated. For example, when the number of banknotes collected is larger than the amount of banknotes that can be transported (stored) to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 at one time, the number of banknotes transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 110 may not match the number of banknotes collected. .. In this case, by repeating the process from S328, the remaining number of collected banknotes is conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal port 110.

Further, the control unit 26 instructs the receipt issuing unit 25 to issue a receipt indicating the result of the collection process, and the receipt issuing unit 25 issues the receipt according to the instruction (S344). On the receipt, the number of rejected banknote denominations input by the operator in S316 and the number of collected banknotes determined in S324 are printed.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the issued receipt. The receipt 60 shown in FIG. 7 includes a print 61 indicating the number of denominations of collected banknotes, a printing 62 indicating the total number of collected banknotes, a printing 63 indicating the number of denominations of rejected banknotes, and a printing 64 indicating the total number of rejected banknotes. ..

<Action effect>
According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, various effects are exhibited. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the rejected banknotes collected from the reject storage 152 are not replenished to the banknote processing unit 100 as change. Then, the control unit 26 determines the number of bills to be collected based on the internal height of the device, the number of rejected bills input by the operator, and the number of denominations of the remaining bills. According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the labor of the operator from various viewpoints. For example, the trouble of replenishing the rejected banknotes to the bill processing unit 100 after the residual collection, and if the rejected bills are damaged or the rejected bills are non-replenishable bills such as 2,000 bills, the coins are exchanged. It is possible to save the trouble of calculating the number of remaining banknotes in consideration of the number of rejected banknotes.

Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, since the rejected banknotes are collected in a series of collection processes based on the banknotes in the reject storage 152, the reject collection process in an independent operation becomes unnecessary. , The operator's trouble is reduced.

Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, since the number of rejected banknotes and the number of banknotes collected are printed on one receipt issued in the collection process, the receipts can be easily managed.
