Description

The present invention relates to a banknote deposit / withdrawal processing apparatus in which a bank clerk performs a deposit and withdrawal process at a bank counter, for example.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a banknote deposit / withdrawal processing device having a high banknote deposit / withdrawal processing performance.

(B) Conventional technology In recent years, with this type of deposit / withdrawal processing device, with the increase in the frequency of use by customers, a device with a high processing capability capable of performing this transaction in a short time and enabling quick deposit / withdrawal transaction has been developed. Requested.

In particular, in a case where two staff members share one device in a counter operation of a bank or the like, during a transaction operation performed by one staff member, the next transaction cannot be performed until this one transaction is completed. This causes a waiting time for the next customer, which causes congestion in a frequently used time zone in which customers concentrate. Therefore, there has been a demand for efficient deposit and withdrawal processing in a short time and prompt customer service processing.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention This invention makes it possible to carry out banknote deposit and withdrawal transactions in parallel without depositing and withdrawing transactions, and to process customer service promptly. It is an object of the present invention to provide a banknote depositing / dispensing processing apparatus capable of performing parallel depositing / dispensing processing.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a discriminating unit for discriminating a deposited banknote, storing the same in an internal denomination safe, and dispensing the banknote from the denomination safe by dispensing the banknote. A cash-receipt-and-disbursement processing device, which includes a bill deposit port for allowing the bill to be deposited and returned, a bill dispensing port for dispensing the bill, a first store unit for temporarily storing the deposited bill, and the like. A transfer processing group is provided at the top,
At the lower part, there is provided a safe group in which each safe has a built-in second store unit in each safe, which temporarily stores the banknotes and allows the stored banknotes to be fed out to the deposit / withdrawal transfer processing group at the upper part. And a dispensing path connecting the bank group and the banknote dispensing port are provided independently, and the second store unit of one of the specified safes in the bank group is defined as a deposit transaction. It is a bill depositing / dispensing processing device set in a depositing temporary storage unit for temporarily storing deposited bills when a dispensing transaction is performed in parallel and a subsequent depositing transaction is continued.

(E) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the deposit and withdrawal transaction is performed independently by using the independently provided deposit and withdrawal paths. When both the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction are performed simultaneously, the deposited banknotes are made to stand by in the first store unit of the transport system, and the dispensed banknotes are withdrawn from a predetermined safe to perform a dispensing process. At this time, if you make a deposit transaction continuously,
The deposit banknotes are continuously stored in the second store section in one specified safe, and a continuous deposit transaction is performed, and a continuous deposit transaction is performed by continuously paying out the bill from another non-specified safe. Then, after the transaction is completed, it is taken out from the stored second store unit and transferred to a predetermined safe.

(F) Effects of the invention For this reason, even when performing continuous deposit and withdrawal parallel transactions,
By using the second store section of one specified safe as a deposit temporary store section and using the second store section of another non-specific safe as a temporary withdrawal store section, withdrawals from other safes can be performed. Allowed, continuous deposit and withdrawal parallel processing of continuous deposit and withdrawal can be performed.

As a result, the processing speed of the deposit / withdrawal transaction can be reliably increased, and the transaction can be performed efficiently while avoiding the transaction waiting time while using one apparatus.

Therefore, even during a time zone where the frequency of use is high, it is possible to quickly cope with the high processing capability, and it is possible to accurately prevent the congestion of customers.

In addition, it is appropriate to use a single safe that is specified, a safe that is used less frequently, a safe that is not used during transactions, or a safe that is arranged at a position where the transport length from the bill deposit port is the shortest. .

(G) Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The drawings show a banknote dispensing / dispensing processing device of a clerk type which is used by two persons sandwiching from both sides, and in FIGS. 1 and 2,
This bill receiving / dispensing processing device is provided with a deposit / withdrawal transport processing group 13 for transporting and processing the bills 12 at an upper portion of a device main body 11 having a rectangular parallelepiped, and a cartridge group 14 for storing and feeding the bills 12 at a lower portion. The upper and lower portions of the main body 11 are configured to be separated into a transport system and a storage system.

The above-mentioned deposit and withdrawal transfer processing group 13 has a depositing port 15 dedicated to depositing on the front upper surface of the apparatus main body 11 and a dispensing port 16 exclusively for dispensing on the front side surface. The bills 12 inserted in the mouth 15 are transferred to the lower cartridge group via the deposit path 17.
Deposit 14 and withdrawal port 16 cartridge group 14
The dispensed bill 16 is fed through the dispensing path 18 through the dispensing path 18.
I want to withdraw money.

Then, the bills 12 inserted into the deposit port 15 are guided to the discriminating section 19 disposed at the upper intermediate position via the first transport path L1, and thereby the second transport path L2, the third transport path L3 Via the fourth transport path L4 to the first storage unit 20 disposed at the upper rear position.
The banknotes 12 that have failed to be discriminated are conveyed to the deposit return pool section 21 disposed above the discrimination section 19 via the fifth conveyance path L5 connected to the subsequent stage of the first store section 20.

A sixth transport path L6 is connected to the exit side of the above-described deposit return pool section 21, and is connected to the deposit port 15 through one of the seventh transport paths L7 branched therefrom. L7
Through the banknotes 12 once pooled together into the original deposit port
It is configured to carry to the 15 side. In addition, it is connected to the above-described first transport path L1 via the other branched eighth transport path L8 so as to carry out a cyclic transport processing.

The above-mentioned third transport path L3 is connected to a bill reversing mechanism 22 for bills, which is disposed at a position behind the above-mentioned discriminating section 19, and the discriminating section 19 has determined that the back side is in the transport state. Only at the time, this back bill is reversed by the above-mentioned reversing mechanism 22,
The bills are conveyed to the lower cartridge group 14 with the front and back of the bills aligned. The banknotes facing the front side are transported from the third transport path L3 to the lower cartridge group 14 via the ninth transport path L9 while maintaining the front transport state. Via L9, the tenth to thirteenth transport paths L10 to L13 for storage are continuously connected, and the deposited bills guided by these transport paths L10 to L13 are stored in the first to fourth cartridges C1 to C4. -It is configured to collect.

On the cartridge group 14 side, the above-described tenth transport path L1
At the position corresponding to 0, the first cartridge C1 is opposed to the banknote, and the banknotes, for example, 5,000 yen bills conveyed from the tenth conveyance path L10 are stored in the first cartridge C1.

Similarly, at the position corresponding to the eleventh transport path L11, a second cartridge C2 for storing a 1,000-yen bill is provided opposite, and at the position corresponding to the twelfth transport path L12, a ten-thousand-yen bill is stored. The third cartridge C3 is opposed to the third cartridge C4. At the position corresponding to the thirteenth conveyance path L13, the fourth cartridge C4 for collecting dispensing error bills, defective banknotes, and the like is opposed, and is conveyed from each of the conveyance paths L10 to L13. The incoming bills are stored in the corresponding first to fourth cartridges C1 to C4.

Also, when feeding out from each of the cartridges C1 to C4, the first
The banknotes 12 in the cartridges C1 to C4 are transferred to the corresponding transport paths L10 through the fourth take-in / feed-out control mechanisms 23 to 26, respectively.
To L13.

In this case, a second storage section 27 is provided at the front of the storage section in each of the cartridges C1 to C4, and these second storage sections 27... 28, the interior of the cartridge is divided into upper and lower chambers by the separator 28, and the upper chamber at the time of this division is provided in the second store section 27, and the denomination bills 12 deposited in each cartridge are Stored temporarily in the second storage units 27 of each denomination, and when it is no longer necessary to return, the partitioning operation of the separator 28 is released and the separator 28 is stacked and stored inside.

This second store unit 27 is the first store unit for one deposit transaction.
It is not formed at the time of storing operation from 20 and is formed only at the time of continuous deposit transaction. In this case, in the case of a continuous deposit transaction in which a deposit and a deposit transaction are continued, the second and subsequent transaction bills that are continuously deposited are transported to the second store unit 27. As a result, the banknotes stored here can be stored in the cartridge and dropped and stored below the cartridge only by retreating the separator 28 when payment is confirmed, and the first store unit
Unlike the banknote stored at 20, the transport and storage operation is omitted, and the banknote can be efficiently stored in a short time. At this time, if the deposit is canceled, the deposit banknote for one transaction stored from the second store unit 27 is paid out and returned.

As described above, the formation of the second store 27 enables continuous payment processing. However, when the continuous payment transaction and the continuous payment transaction overlap, one specified cartridge,
For example, the second store unit 27 of the first cartridge C1 which is a denomination which does not correspond to the transaction at the time of withdrawal and which is used less frequently and has the shortest transfer length of the deposit from the deposit port 15 is a temporary store unit for continuous deposit. If you make a continuous deposit here,
A continuous deposit / withdrawal transaction is possible by permitting withdrawals from other non-specific second and third cartridges C2 and C3 (cartridges set in the withdrawal temporary storage unit). Then, the banknotes stored in the second storage section 27 may be handled as collected banknotes, and the collection operation may be performed from the first cartridge C1 to the fourth cartridge C4 for collection at the end of the deposit / withdrawal transaction.

Then, the thirteenth transport path L13 is connected to the thirteenth transport path L13 at the latter stage of the cartridge, connected to the dispensing port 16 via one of the fifteenth transport paths L15 branched therefrom, and branched to the other. It is connected to the first transport path L1 in a circulating manner via a sixteenth transport path L16.

A two-sheet delivery detector 29 is provided at the subsequent stage of the twelfth conveyance path L12 to detect two-sheet delivery at the time of dispensing, and when the two-sheet delivery is detected, it is collected in the fourth cartridge C4. .

A distribution plate 3 is provided at each branch of the above-described transport paths L1 to L16.
0 and a conveying guide member (not shown) are arranged. The distributing action of the distributing plates 30 and the receiving port 15 from → L1 → 19 → L3
A transfer system via a series of symbols → L4 → 20 → L5 → L6 → L8 → L9 is configured in the deposit path 17.

In the same manner, the distributing operation of the distributing plates 30 and the transport system via a series of symbols from the respective cartridges C1 to C4 → L10 to L13 → L14 → L15 → dispensing port 16 are configured in the dispensing path 18. I have.

In this case, the depositing path 17 corresponding to the depositing port 15 and the dispensing port
Since the withdrawal route 18 corresponding to 16 is separated and provided with an independent transport route, it is possible not only to make deposit and withdrawal transactions continuous, but also when these two transactions overlap Can process both transactions at the same time and perform parallel processing.Also, even if a jam etc. occur, only the transport route on one side stops, and the other transport route can be used as it is. The operation rate of the device can be improved.

The first cartridge C1 described above is set for storing 5,000-yen bills, the second cartridge C2 is set for storing 5,000-yen bills,
Cartridge C3 is set for storing 10,000-yen bills, and fourth cartridge C4 is set for exclusive use to attach and detach 1000-yen bills, 5,000-yen bills, and various bills. By providing the fourth cartridge C4, at the time of initial setting of the cartridge and removal after the end of operation, all the banknotes of the denominations are collectively stored in the fourth cartridge C4 at a position where it is easy to attach and detach the cartridge. It can be attached and detached via C4.

This effectively utilizes one cartridge,
Attaching / detaching work for each cartridge can be omitted, handling and management of bills are improved, and staff work is reduced.

Further, since the depositing / dispensing processing group 13 and the cartridge group 14 are vertically separated, the transport path does not obstruct the attaching / detaching direction of the fourth cartridge C4, and the operability of attaching / detaching the cartridge is further facilitated. .

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a control circuit of the banknote pay-in / pay-out processing device. The CPU 31 controls each circuit device according to a program stored in the ROM 32, and stores the controlled input / output data in the RAM 33.
Remember.

The main motor 34 drives and controls each transport path based on the input information from the CPU 31, and the sensor S is disposed in front of the loading section and the feeding section of each of the cartridges C1 to C2, and the state in which the bill 12 is inserted and removed. Manage.

Next, a processing operation when the banknote depositing / dispensing processing device is used in a state where two staff members sandwich it from both sides will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.

In the first step 41, the banknote is now operated by one clerk.
When it is detected that the banknote 12 has been inserted into the deposit port 15, it is checked whether or not there is a banknote in the first store unit 20. If there is no banknote previously deposited in the first store unit 20, in the second step 42, 15 → L1 → 19 → L2 → L3 → L4 via the depositing path 17, temporarily store in the first storage unit 20, if there is any discrimination failure in the discrimination unit 19, once the pool in the deposit return pool unit 21 After returning to the deposit 15
From this, re-discrimination is performed and payment processing is performed. At this time, if the deposit is canceled, the banknotes temporarily stored in the first storage unit 20 are returned to the deposit port 15 in a lump. On the other hand, in a third step 43, it is determined that the bill is a normal bill,
If the deposit is confirmed without being cancelled, the deposit banknote is paid out from the first store section 20 in the fourth step 44 when the apparatus is in the standby state, and the banknotes are transferred from L5 to L6 to L8 to L1 to 19 to L2. → L3 → L9 （22） → L1
The cartridges are stored in the cartridges C1 to C3 of the respective denominations by denomination via the storage paths of 0 → L11 → L12 → L13. At this time, if there is a banknote with poor discrimination, the banknote is stored in the fourth cartridge C4 for collection.

However, if the next deposit transaction or withdrawal transaction is performed in the sixth step 46 while the storage processing operation is being performed in the fifth step 45, if the first store section 20 The storing operation is temporarily stopped, and the depositing transaction, the withdrawal transaction or the parallel depositing / dispensing process is prioritized. If there is no continuous transaction, all the banknotes stored in the first storing unit 20 are deleted in the eighth step 48. It is stored in the cartridge until the end.

By the way, if the previously deposited banknote remains in the first store section 20 in the above-mentioned first step 41, it is determined in a ninth step 49 whether or not the banknote is being withdrawn. Otherwise, temporary storage is possible in the second storage section 27 inside the cartridge.
Is turned on to form a second storage section 27 in the front of the storage section of the cartridge, and the banknotes conveyed from the deposit port 15
12 through L1 → 19 → L2 → L3 → L9 (22) → L10 → L11 → L12 → L13 through the continuous payment path, cartridge C1 ~ C3 of each money type
Are continuously stored in the second store sections 27... According to the type of money, and if there is a damaged damaged bill or the like, it is stored in the fourth cartridge C4 for collection. At this time, if there is a banknote that is not properly discriminated by the discriminating unit 19, the banknote is once pooled by the deposit return pool unit 21, and then the deposit port 15
At once, re-discriminate and process the payment.
If the deposit is canceled, the banknotes temporarily stored in the second storage section 27 are fed out and returned to the deposit port 15 in a lump. Then, in an eleventh step 51, it is determined that the bill is a normal bill,
And if the payment is confirmed without being canceled, in the twelfth step 52, the separator 28 of each cartridge ...
Is turned off to cause the banknotes deposited on the separator 28 to be stacked and stored in the storage section in the cartridge.

By the way, in the above-mentioned ninth step 49, in the case where continuous deposit is made, if the dispensing process has been performed first, in the thirteenth step 53, a cartridge, for example, a 5,000-yen bill, for which a dispensing transaction has not been made. The separator 28 of the first cartridge C1 for storage is turned on to form the second store section 27, and the second store section 27 is continuously allowed in the fourteenth step 54 by permitting the deposit from the deposit port 15. Make a deposit. Then, in the fifteenth step 55, if the deposited banknote is normal and the payment is confirmed without being canceled, the deposited banknote is treated as a collected banknote, and in the sixteenth step 56, after the dispensing end operation, In a seventeenth step 57, the deposited banknotes stored in the specific second storage section 27 are collected in the fourth cartridge C4 for collection.

On the other hand, when the withdrawal transaction signal is input, in the 18th step 58, the second
Confirm that it is not during the continuous deposit transaction using the store unit 27, and in the 19th step 59, pay out a specific banknote from a predetermined cartridge and withdrawal route of L10 → L11 → L12 → L13 → L14 → L15
Withdraw to the withdrawal port 16 via 18.

In this case, when both the deposit transaction by one attendant and the withdrawal transaction by the other attendant overlap, the deposit processing and the withdrawal processing are performed in parallel, and the deposited bill is stored in the first store unit 20. In this case, it is possible to perform a depositing process by dispensing a bill to be dispensed from a predetermined cartridge and to perform a dispensing process, thereby performing a parallel process of both transactions.

As described above, the deposit and withdrawal transaction is performed independently using both the independently provided deposit and withdrawal routes,
When both the depositing transaction and the dispensing transaction are performed at the same time, the deposited banknotes are made to stand by in the first store unit, and the banknotes to be dispensed are fed out from a predetermined cartridge and dispensed. Further, in the case of continuous deposit and withdrawal transactions, the deposited banknotes are continuously stored in the second store section of the specified one cartridge, and are subjected to continuous deposit and debit transactions, and are continuously withdrawn from other non-specified cartridges. In order to allow withdrawal transactions, continuous deposit and withdrawal parallel processing of continuous deposit and withdrawal can be performed.

As a result, the processing speed of the deposit / withdrawal transaction can be reliably increased, and the transaction can be performed efficiently while avoiding the transaction waiting time while using one apparatus. In other words, when the continuous deposit transaction and the continuous withdrawal transaction in the parallel deposit and withdrawal transaction overlap,
Since the second store section of one specified safe is used as a temporary deposit store section and the second store section of another non-specific safe is used as a temporary pay store section, successive deposits are made to the temporary deposit store section described above. In addition to this, it is possible to allow continuous payment from the payment temporary store unit and to perform a continuous payment and a continuous payment parallel processing.

Therefore, even during a time zone where the frequency of use is high, it is possible to quickly cope with the high processing capability, and it is possible to accurately prevent the congestion of customers.

In correspondence between the present invention and the configuration of the above-described embodiment, the banknote deposit / withdrawal processing device of the present invention corresponds to the device main body 11 of the embodiment, and similarly, the safe group corresponds to the cartridge group 14. The banknote deposit port corresponds to the deposit port 15, the banknote dispensing port corresponds to the dispensing port 16, and the safe corresponds to the first to fourth cartridges C1 to C4. However, the present invention is not limited only to the configuration of the embodiment.
