The banknote pay-in / pay-out device 1 mounts independent motors (not shown) as power sources of the respective sections for separating, accumulating, and transporting the banknotes, and is also provided with a power transmission mechanism for connecting these motors and respective sections.

Hereinafter, the operation of counting the bills in the collective storage in the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a control flowchart when counting the banknotes in the batch storage. The counting operation is performed at the same time as the loading operation. However, when only the counting operation is performed, it is possible to set all the required number of loaded sheets of each denomination to “zero”. When the luggage storage 11 is mounted on the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 by an attendant and a loading key (not shown) for instructing the start of loading is pressed, a banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus control unit (not shown) is operated as shown in FIG.
The control according to is performed.

Upon receipt of the loading operation command from the attendant as described above, the bill receiving / dispensing device controller (not shown) clears the loading and counting denomination counters to zero and drives a motor (not shown) for transporting bills. (S1). Next, the end detector 23 checks whether the bill on the stage 13 in the batch storage 11 is at the end, that is, whether the bill to be loaded is set in advance (S
2). This end detection is performed by lowering the stage 13 to the lowest position.

If the end is detected in S2, the motor (not shown) for transporting the bill is stopped (S3), and it is determined whether or not there is a bill on the partition plate 18 (S3).
4). In S4, when it is determined that there is a bill on the partition plate 18, the pair of bill clamping levers 16 are rotated from the position A shown in FIG. Clamp bills. Next, the bill is lifted from above the partition plate 18 by moving the bill clamping lever 16 from the position B to the position C (S5).

In S4, it is determined that there is no bill on the partition plate 18, or when S5 is completed, it is next determined whether the bill is clamped by the bill clamping lever 16 (S6).

In step S6, the bill clamping lever 1 is used.
When it is determined that the bill is clamped by 6,
The stage 13 is moved to the position E where the bill is paid out.
From position F to position F, and then from position F to position G. Next, the stage 13 is rotated from the position G to the position H, and is positioned so as to be substantially parallel to the stacking direction of the bills clamped below the bill clamping lever 16. Here, the bill clamping lever 16 is rotated outward from the position C to the position D, and the clamped bill is released. As a result, the bill is loaded on the stage 13 from the bill clamping lever 16. Finally, the stage 13 is moved from the position H to the home position I to lift the bill, and the bill clamping lever 16 is lowered from the position D to the position A (S7).

In step S6, the bill clamping lever 1 is used.
6 determines that the bill is not clamped,
Alternatively, when S7 is completed, the contents of the denomination counter for loading and counting, in this case, the fact that the bill to be loaded has not been set on the stage 13 is notified to a higher-level device (not shown) (S8). The counting operation ends.

On the other hand, when there is a bill on the stage 13 in S2, that is, when the end is not detected, the stage 13 is moved upward, the bill extracting / separating mechanism 14 is operated, and one bill is fed out to discriminate. Send to section 6. The discriminating unit 6 discriminates the fed bill and notifies the discrimination result to a bill receiving / dispensing device control unit (not shown) (S9). In response to the notification, the banknote depositing / dispensing device control unit determines whether the transported banknote is extremely skewed (hereinafter, referred to as skew) or a plurality of stacked banknotes (hereinafter, referred to as double feed). Is determined (S10).

In S10, if the discrimination section 6 judges that the discrimination is successful, the transported banknote is the banknote for which the loading request has been made, and the number of bills of the denomination has not reached the required number of bills. It is determined whether the bill is a bill that can be loaded for withdrawal (S11).

In S11, if it is determined that all the conditions are satisfied, the transported banknote is stored in the denomination storage 8,
It is conveyed to one of the denomination storages corresponding to 9 or 10 and accumulated (S12). Thereafter, the value of the loaded number counter of the denomination is increased by "1" (S13). Next, it is determined whether or not the denomination storage in which the banknotes are stacked is in the full state (S14). If it is determined in S14 that the denomination is full, the required number of loaded denominations is read to the same value as the loaded number count, and thereafter, the denomination is not loaded (S15).

On the other hand, in S11, the transported banknote is of a denomination not requested for loading, the loaded number of the corresponding denomination has reached the required loading number, or the transported banknote is not suitable for dispensing. If it is determined that there is, the sheet is sent to the collective stacking unit 17 and collected on the partition plate 18 (S
16). Next, it is determined whether or not the amount of bills accumulated on the partition plate 18 has reached the accumulation allowable value (S17). S17
When it is determined that the accumulation allowable value has been reached, a scraping operation similar to S5 is performed, and the bill on the partition plate 18 is clamped and lifted by the bill clamping lever 16. When there is a bill already clamped and lifted, the bill clamping lever 16 at the position C is rotated outward to the position D, and the clamped bills are accumulated on the partition plate 18. After dropping on the bill, the bill clamp lever 16 is moved from position D to position A →
The banknotes are moved in the order of position B → position C, and all bills on the partition plate 18 are clamped and lifted (S1).
8).

In S14, it is determined that the denomination storage in which bills have been loaded is full, or if S15 is completed, or if the bill amount on the partition plate 18 has not reached the accumulation allowable value in S17. Judgment or when S18 is completed, the value of the counter for counting the number of denominations of the transported banknote is increased by "1" (S19). On the other hand, if it is determined in S10 that the transported banknotes cannot be discriminated due to skew, double feed, or the like, the transported banknotes are sent to the collective reject accumulation unit 19, and are collected in the collective rejection unit 20 (S20).
Upon completion of S19 or S20, the process returns to S2, and the above operation is repeated.

[0026]

However, according to the above-described conventional method of controlling the cash-receipt-and-disbursement device, if there is a banknote that cannot be discriminated due to skew or double feeding during the loading and counting operation, this banknote is counted. Therefore, there is a problem that the amount of banknotes in the collective storage at the start of the loading and counting operation does not match the value of the counted number of denominations as the counting result. For this reason, if the counting result of the banknotes in the batch storage is inaccurate, in a system that manages cash by checking the coincidence of the number set in the batch storage with the original and the result counted by the depositing / dispensing device, Each time there is a banknote that cannot be discriminated due to skew, double feed, etc., it is determined that the counted number is abnormal, and the original party must check the banknote in the batch reject section,
There is also a problem that management takes time.

Further, although the banknotes accumulated in the batch rejection section are normal banknotes, the banknotes cannot be fed out again from the bulk storage as loaded banknotes due to skew, double feeding, or the like. However, there is a problem in that loss is generated, that is, death money that cannot be used for operation is created.

The present invention eliminates various disadvantages caused by the above-mentioned inefficient use of funds and the inaccurate counting results, and enables efficient use of funds. An object of the present invention is to provide a cash-receipt-and-disbursement device with high bill counting accuracy in a batch storage.

[0029]

In addition, the money is taken in, and this money can be reloaded. <br/> The lump storage is located on the transport path leading to the storage, and the authenticity, denomination, damage, front and back, A depositing unit that has a discriminating unit that discriminates double feed and skew, etc., and a depositing transaction that discriminates the money inserted from the customer service port by the discriminating unit and stores it in the storage, and a discriminating unit that discriminates the money stored in the storage. In addition to conducting a withdrawal transaction that passes through the customer service port to the customer, the money stored in the batch storage is discriminated by the discrimination unit, accumulated by denomination in the temporary holding unit, and then loaded into the storage. In the control method of the cash-receipt-and-disbursement device that performs an operation, a temporary holding unit corresponding to a storage that is out of a storage object of money and does not contribute to the operation is selected during the loading operation from the collective storage in the storage and collectively stored. At the time of loading money from the storage to each storage, or the amount of money in the bulk storage During the counting operation for determining, incapable of distinguishing the double feed or oblique such conveyance failure by the discriminator money is accumulated in the escrow unit of the storage box that does not contribute to said operating during loading operation described above selection, the Bulk storage in storage
Storage for storing money when loading from
Number of sheets in the temporary storage unit corresponding to
Or the currency to be loaded from the bulk storage
If it is determined that there is no discrimination , the undiscriminable money is re-separated and conveyed to the discrimination unit, re-discriminated, the discriminated money is taken into the collective storage, and can be reloaded, and the undiscriminable money is This is to be taken into the reject section.

[0030]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, during the loading operation from the collective storage, the money that can be discriminated by the discrimination unit is stored in the storage by denomination. At this time, counting is performed because discrimination is possible. Money that cannot be discriminated by the discrimination unit due to conveyance failure such as double feeding or skew is accumulated in the temporary storage unit of the storage that does not contribute to the loading operation. At this time, counting was not performed because discrimination was impossible.
Then, the money in the temporary holding section is conveyed to the discriminating section, discriminated again, and if discrimination is possible, counting can now be performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S201 that the denomination storage 8 is full, the denomination storage 8 is determined as a reject banknote storage, and the information is stored in the RAM 74 (S20).
4).

Next, it is determined by the full detector 49b whether the denomination storage 9 is full (S20).
5). Here, if it is determined that the denomination-based storage 9 is not full, the denomination-based storage 9 is determined to be a ten-yen ticket storage, and the information is stored in the RAM 74 (S206). In S205, if it is determined that the money type storage 9 is full, R
The required number of million-yen notes stored in the AM 74 is set to “zero”, and thereafter, the operation of loading million-yen notes is stopped (S207).

When the processing of S203, S206 or S207 is completed, it is next determined by the full detector 49c whether or not the denomination storage 10 is full (S20).
8). Here, if it is determined that the denomination-based storage 10 is not full, the denomination-based storage 10 is determined to be a 1,000-yen ticket storage, and the information is stored in the RAM 74 (S209). On the other hand, S
If it is determined in 208 that the denomination-specific storage 10 is full, the reload request number of the 1,000-yen ticket stored in the RAM 74 is rewritten to zero so that the operation of loading the 1,000-yen ticket is not performed thereafter. (S210). S209 or S2
When the processing of 10 is completed, the state confirmation processing of each denomination storage shown in FIG. 2 ends.

When S102 is completed by the above processing,
Next, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control unit 70 determines whether there is a banknote on the stage 13 in the batch storage 11, that is, whether there is a banknote to be counted for loading or determining the banknote amount in the batch cassette ( S103). In S103, when it is determined that there is a bill on the stage 13, the stage 13 is moved upward, the bill extracting / separating mechanism 14 is operated, and one bill is fed out and sent to the discriminating unit 6. The discriminating unit 6 discriminates the sent bill and notifies the discrimination result to the bill receiving / dispensing device control unit 70 (S10).
4). Receiving this notification, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control section 70 classifies the transported banknote into the following two types.

One of the denominations could be discriminated, but the banknote whose number of loaded sheets has reached the required number of sheets, or a banknote which was discriminated as inappropriate for withdrawal, and the other was a banknote. It is a bill that can be discriminated in kind and is determined to be appropriate as a dispensing bill, and the number of sheets to be loaded has not yet reached the required number of sheets to be loaded, or a bill that could not be distinguished due to skew, double feed, or the like (S105). In S105, if it is determined that the discriminated banknote is the banknote whose denomination was possible but the number of loaded sheets has reached the requested number of sheets or that the banknote has been discriminated as inappropriate for dispensing. Then, the respective separating gates are switched so that the bills are transported from the discriminating section 6 to the collective stacking section 17, and the process for stacking the transported bills on the partition plate 18 is started (S106).

The details of this step S106 consist of the processes shown in FIG. 3. First, the transported banknotes are sent to the collective stacking unit 17 and stacked on the partition plate 18 (S301). Next, the number of stacked banknotes on the partition plate 18 stored in the RAM 74 is increased by "1" (S302). Furthermore, RAM
The counted number of the corresponding denomination is increased by "1" among the counted numbers of the respective denominations stored in 74 (S303). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of stacked banknotes on the partition plate 18 updated in S302 has reached a predetermined allowable stacking value (S304).

In S304, if it is determined that the accumulation allowable value has been reached, first, a pair of bill clamping levers 1 are used.
6 is rotated outward from position C shown in FIG. Note that the bill clamping lever 16 has already been used.
If there is a bill that has been clamped and lifted by the above, at this time, the bill falls on the bill accumulated on the partition plate 18 by the above-mentioned operation and is accumulated.
Next, the bill clamping lever 16 is moved from the position D to the position A, and then rotated so as to approach the position B to clamp the bills accumulated on the partition plate 18. Further, the bill clamping lever 16 is moved from the position B to the position C, and the clamped bill is lifted from above the partition plate 18 (S305). Note that this series of operations is called a scraping operation.

When the raising operation is completed, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device controller 70 rewrites the number of banknotes stacked on the partition plate 18 stored in the RAM 74 to "zero" (S
306) Further, the lifting operation flag in the RAM 74 is set to "1" (S307). In S304, when it is determined that the number of sheets to be stacked on the partition plate 18 has not reached the allowable stacking value, or when the process of S307 is completed, FIG.
Is completed.

On the other hand, in S105, the transported banknote is discriminated to be denominated and suitable as a dispensing banknote, and the banknote that has been loaded does not yet reach the required number of loaded banknotes, or is skewed, double-fed, or the like. If it is determined that the bill cannot be discriminated, that is, it is a rejected bill,
Stacking unit on money storage box or rejected for storage boxes was determined by 102 3 2 switches each segmentation gates to convey to 36,40, temporary holding section 3 the banknote
Then, the process of integrating the data at 0, 34, and 38 is started (S107).

The details of this step S107 are the processes shown in FIG. 4. First, if the conveyed bill is a ten-yen note, it is determined by the process of FIG. , Sent to the stacking unit 32 or 36 on the ten-yen ticket storage 8 or 9, and temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 30 or 34.
To accumulate. Similarly, if the ticket is a 1,000 yen ticket, the temporary holding unit 38
In the case of a rejected ticket, the ten-thousand-yen ticket of the temporary holding unit 30 or 34 is accumulated in the one not accumulated. Here, as an example, all the denomination storages 8, 9, and 10 are not full. Therefore, the denomination storage 8 is a ten thousand yen storage and the denomination storage 9 is a rejection ticket by the processing shown in FIG. It is assumed that the storage for money and the storage by money type 10 are determined to be storages for 1,000 yen tickets. Therefore, the conveyed bills are accumulated in the escrow unit 30 if the bill is a ten-yen ticket, in the escrow unit 38 if it is a thousand yen bill, and in the escrow unit 34 if it is a rejected ticket (S401).

Next, among the number of sheets accumulated in each temporary storage unit stored in the RAM 74, the number of sheets accumulated in the corresponding temporary storage unit is increased by "1" (S402). Next, among the loaded numbers of the respective denominations stored in the RAM 74, the loaded number of the corresponding denomination is increased by "1" (S403). Furthermore, RA
Among the counts of the respective denominations stored in M74, the count of the corresponding denomination is increased by "1" (S404). However, in S403 and S404, if the transported bill is a rejected ticket, the loaded number and the counted number are not updated because the denomination information is insufficient.

Next, it is determined whether or not the number of sheets accumulated in the temporary storage unit updated in S402 has reached a predetermined allowable number of accumulations (S405). In S405, if it is determined that the number of stacked sheets has reached the allowable stacking value, the storage is first limited to storage for 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen tickets. Reservation section 3
The shutters 31 and 39 separating 0 and 38 are opened to the left in FIG. 6, and the bills accumulated in the respective temporary holding units are dropped into the denomination storages 8 and 10, and are put together with the bills on the stages 46 and 48. Collect (S40
6). Next, the number of sheets stored in the temporary holding units 30, 38 stored in the RAM 74 is rewritten to "0" (S40).
7).

Next, whether there is a bill in the temporary holding section 34 on the denomination storage 9 determined to be the rejected ticket storage is temporarily stored in the temporary holding section residual sensor 55b shown in FIGS.
(S408). In S408, when it is determined that there is a reject bill in the temporary holding unit 34,
The stage 47 of the denomination storage 9 is moved upward, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit 34 together with the shutter 35 are lifted, and the banknote take-out / separation mechanism 28 is operated to set the banknotes into one.
The sheet is fed out and sent to the discrimination section 6. The discrimination unit 6 discriminates the sent bill and notifies the discrimination result to the bill receiving / dispensing device control unit 70 (S409). In response to this notification, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control unit 70 sets the transported banknote in the following 2
Into two categories. One is a bill that can be discriminated, and the other is a bill.
One is a bill that could not be discriminated due to skew, double feed, etc. (S410).

If it is determined in S410 that the transported banknote is a banknote that can be discriminated, a collective stacking process for stacking on the partition plate 18 shown in FIG. 3 is performed as in S106 (S411). On the other hand, if it is determined in S410 that the discrimination is impossible, each of the separation gates is switched so as to send bills from the discriminating unit 6 to the collective reject accumulating unit 19, and the conveyed bills are collected in the collective reject unit 20 (S412). ). Thereafter, the reject flag stored in the RAM 74 is set to "1" (S413). It is to be noted that even if a banknote cannot be discriminated once due to skew, double feed, or the like, the probability of being discriminated by paying it out again and discriminating it is high.

When the process of S411 or S413 is completed, the process returns to S408 again. Until it is determined in S408 that there is no bill in the rejected ticket storage, that is, in this case, the temporary holding unit 34 of the denomination storage 9, the processing from S409 onward is performed. Repeat the process. If it is determined in S408 that there is no bill, the number of sheets accumulated in the temporary holding unit 34 in the RAM 74 is set to “zero” (S414). Next, as in S102, a confirmation process of the state of each denomination storage 8, 9, 10 shown in FIG. 2 is performed (S415). In S405, it is determined that the number of sheets stored in the temporary holding units 30, 38 in which the transported banknotes are stacked has not reached the allowable number of sheets, or
When the process of 415 is completed, the process of accumulating the transported banknotes shown in FIG. 4 in the temporary holding unit of each denomination storage is ended.
When the stacking process on the partition plate 18 in S106 or the stacking process in the temporary storage unit of each denomination storage in S107 is completed, the process returns to S103 again, and the banknotes on the stage 13 of the batch storage 11 in S103. The processing after S104 is repeated until it is determined that there is no data.

In S103, when it is determined that there is no bill on the stage 13 of the batch storage 11, a process for preparing to end the loading operation is performed (S108). The details of this S108 are made by each process shown in FIG.
The same process as 406 for storing the ten thousand yen and ten thousand yen notes accumulated in the temporary holding units 30, 38 in the denomination storages 8, 10 respectively is performed (S501). Next, the temporary holding unit residual sensor 55 determines whether or not there is a banknote in the temporary holding unit 34 on the denomination storage 9 determined as the rejected ticket storage.
b (S502). When it is determined in S502 that there is a bill, thereafter, similarly to the processing from S409 to S413, one bill in the temporary holding unit 34 is fed out and discriminated (S503), and the conveyed bill is classified based on the discrimination result (S504). The bills that could be discriminated are accumulated on the partition plate 18 (S505), and the bills that could not be discriminated are accumulated in the batch reject unit 20 (S50).
6) The reject flag stored in the RAM 74 is set to “1” (S507). The processing after S503 is repeated until it is determined in S502 that there is no bill in the temporary holding unit 34.

In S503, when it is determined that there is no bill in the temporary holding section 34, it is first determined whether the number of stacked bills on the partition plate 18 stored in the RAM 74 is "zero" (S508). ). If it is determined in S508 that the number of stacked sheets is not “zero”, the above-described S3
In the same manner as in the step 05, the banknotes stacked on the partition plate 18 are scraped up (S509). Next, the lifting operation flag stored in the RAM 74 is set to "1" (S5).
10).

In S508, when it is determined that there is no bill on the partition plate 18, or when the processing in S510 is completed, it is next determined whether or not the lifting operation flag in the RAM 74 is "1" (S511). ). S51
When it is determined in step 1 that the scraping operation flag is “1”, that is, that there is a bill being clamped and lifted by the bill clamping lever 16, the stage 13 of the batch storage 11 is moved to the bill shown in FIG. 11. Is rotated from position E to position F, which is the feeding position, and then lowered from position F to position G. Next, the stage 13 is rotated from the position G to the position H to be positioned below the bill clamping lever 16.
Here, when the bill clamping lever 16 is rotated outward from the position C to the position D, the clamped bills are released and accumulated on the stage 13. Thereafter, the stage 13 is moved from the position H to the home position I, and the bill clamping lever 16 is further moved in the order of position D → position A → position B → position C (S512).

In S511, when it is determined that the scraping flag is "zero" or when the process of S512 is completed, the process of the end preparation ends. When the process of S108 is completed, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control section 7
0 notifies the upper control unit (not shown) of the operation result of the main loading operation together with the loading and counting number of each denomination stored in the RAM 74 and the content of the reject flag (S109). With this, the processing of the main loading operation is completed.
