DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out device connected to a cash register, a POS register, an ATM or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine used in a financial institution or the like performs payment and withdrawal for all denominations (1,000 yen bill, 5,000 yen bill, 10,000 yen bill). Therefore, the storage unit for each denomination must be a recirculating stacker that can be stored and fed out, and it is necessary to provide a recirculation stacker for all denominations.

[0003] On the other hand, in the case of a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine connected to a cash register, a POS register, or the like, a register for the purpose of reducing the size and cost of the machine is used in order to avoid using bills of ten thousand yen as change. Banknote depositing and dispensing machines for commercial use have been developed.

FIG. 12 shows, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-266926.
FIG. 1 shows an example of a banknote pay-in / pay-out device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H10-26095. In such a banknote pay-in / pay-out device, two recirculating stackers 1201 and 1202 for storing and paying out 1,000-yen bills and 5,000-yen bills that can be used as change, and bills of 10,000 yen bills not used as change And a withdrawal cassette 12 that can only withdraw and reject withdrawal reject bills
03. Then, after depositing bills inserted from the bill depositing port 1204, one by one, the denomination is discriminated by the discriminating unit 1205, and then, based on the discrimination result, a 1,000-yen bill and a 5,000-yen bill that can be used normally as change. Are sorted and stored in the circulation stackers 1201 and 1202 according to the denomination. Further, a ten thousand yen bill and a withdrawal reject bill that cannot be used as change are stored in the collection cassette 1203. Further, the collection cassette 1203 is provided detachably, and can be removed from the bill receiving / dispensing machine by a key mechanism or the like.

[0005]

Generally, a recirculating stacker has a complicated mechanism for providing both functions of storing and feeding out, and as described above, if the recirculating stacker is provided for all denominations, the size becomes large. And the cost is high.

A banknote pay-in / pay-out machine which does not use a 10,000-yen bill as change as shown in FIG. 12 is composed of two recirculating stackers and one collection cassette in order to store banknotes of three denominations. Therefore, the 1,000-yen bill and the 5,000-yen bill used as change can be recycled, but the 10,000-yen bill cannot be recycled at all. In this case, if a large amount of banknotes of 1,000 yen bills and 5,000 yen bills are dispensed as change, a large amount of banknotes of 1,000 yen bills and 5,000 yen bills will be dispensed and shortage of 1,000 yen bills and 5,000 yen bills will cause shortage of withdrawal processing. It may be. In such a case, it is necessary to take out the collection cassette from the machine body by key operation or the like, take out a bill of ten thousand yen bill, take it to a currency exchange office, and exchange it for bills of one thousand yen bill and five thousand yen bill.

[0007] Therefore, in the conventional technique as shown in FIG. 12, although it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the banknote pay-in / pay-out machine, the collection cassette is removed from the body by a key operation for a 10,000-yen bill. There is a problem of operability that must be performed, and a problem of cash management that the reliability of cash management by the banknote pay-in / pay-out device is lost because cash is manually taken out.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has two recirculating stackers and one collection cassette as a storage portion of a banknote pay-in / pay-out device, and is provided with first and second denomination banknotes (for example, , 1,000-yen bills, and 5,000-yen bills) can be used in the same manner as in the past, and a part of the third denomination banknotes (for example, 10,000-yen bills) having a low use frequency and a low recycle frequency can be circulated. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a banknote pay-in / pay-out device which can solve the conventional operability problem and the cash management problem while simplifying the structure and reducing the size and cost.

The coin depositing and dispensing machine 13 includes a coin depositing port 131 for inputting a coin price received from a customer, a coin dispensing port 132 for dispensing change coins to be paid to a customer, and the like.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the internal configuration diagram of the money receiving and dispensing machine as shown in FIG. The POS register 11 is connected to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 12 via the control unit 123. In the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 12, the denomination of the banknote inserted from the banknote pay-in / pay-out port 121 is identified by the identification unit 124. Collection cassette 125 depending on the denomination,
The first reflux stacker 126 and the second reflux stacker 127 store the sheet. The collection cassette 125 can only be stored and cannot be extended. First and second reflux stackers 126
And 127 can be both stored and extended. For example, a 1,000-yen bill, which is the minimum amount bill, is stored in the first circulation stacker 126, and a 5,000-yen bill, which is the next large amount bill, is stored in the second circulation stacker 127. The 10,000-yen bill, which is the highest bill, is stored in the second circulation stacker 127 only for a predetermined number or a predetermined amount, and the rest is stored in the collection cassette 125. In addition, the reject box 128 stores a banknote with a bad deposit. On the other hand, the first and second reflux stackers 1
The bills fed from the bills 26 and 127 are in the bill dispenser 1
22.

The coin depositing and dispensing machine 13 is connected to a control unit 123 of the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 12 via a control unit 133. In addition, even if the coin depositing and dispensing machine 13 is configured to be directly connected to the POS register 11, it can function similarly.

The coin depositing and dispensing machine 13 has a coin depositing port 131.
After the coins put into the lump are fed out one by one, the discriminating unit 134 and the sorting unit 135 sort the shapes by dropping them into holes, for example, in the order of the small diameter, and make one, five, ten, fifty, and one hundred yen. The denominations are stored in the denomination storage section 136 for each denomination of ¥ 500 and ¥ 500. The deposit amount is transmitted to the POS register 11 by the control unit 133 via the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12. On the other hand, at the time of dispensing, for example, when receiving a dispensing command for change from the POS 11, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 12 discharges change banknotes and changes the coin Issue a coin ejection command. This ejection command may be directly received from the POS register 11. The coin depositing and dispensing machine 13
In response to this instruction, coins of a necessary denomination are properly discharged from the denomination storing section 136 to the coin dispensing port 132. Similarly, coin ejection other than change is performed under the control of the control unit 133. The specific configuration of the coin depositing and dispensing machine 13 itself can be configured, for example, as a circulating coin dispensing and dispensing machine described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-86977.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a detailed mechanism diagram of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 12. As shown in FIG. The bills inserted from the bill receiving port 121 are conveyed one by one by a belt 302,
Branched by 3. Then, the first or second reflux stacker 126 or 12 detected by the photo sensor 304 is detected.
7, or collection cassette 125, reject box 12
8 as appropriate. At the time of dispensing, it is ejected from each recirculation stacker 126 or 127 to the bill dispensing port 122 by the belt 302 and the branching machine 303. These controls are performed by the control unit 123 and the like. Also, the collection cassette 125
Is provided with an impeller 301 for stacking banknotes.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a detailed mechanism diagram of one embodiment of the recirculating stacker provided in the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 12. As shown in FIG. In the case of storage, the bills 41 conveyed by the belt are sandwiched between the first and second tapes 42 and 43, wound up by the second winding roller 45, and sequentially accumulated. On the other hand, in the case of feeding, the first and second tapes 4 are set by a pair of first winding rollers 44.
2 and 43 are respectively wound up, and the bills are sequentially fed out and conveyed. The first take-up roller 44 and the second take-up roller 45 are driven in opposite directions during storage and feeding, respectively.

FIG. 5 shows a mechanism diagram of another embodiment of the reflux stacker. In this configuration, in the case of storage, bills are conveyed by the feeding belt 51 and sequentially stored in the stage 54, and the stage 54 is lowered as appropriate. On the other hand, in the case of feeding, the stage 54 is raised as appropriate,
The paper is sequentially fed by the reverse rotation roller 53, the pressing roller 52, and the feeding belt 51.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a control system of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 12. As shown in FIG. The control unit 123 controls the withdrawal control unit 6
1. Includes a deposit control unit 62. Further, the withdrawal control unit 61
Includes, in addition to the normal dispensing control, an alternative dispensing control unit 611 for dispensing substitute money, and a money exchange dispensing control unit 612 for dispensing advance money for change and the like. Also, the identification means 64
The banknote detecting means 67 corresponds to the identification section 124 and the photosensor 304 shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, but the identification section 124 may be provided with both means. The storage unit 65 may be provided independently, or may be provided in the control unit 123. The recirculation stacker driving unit 66, the transporting unit 68, and the branching unit 69 are mechanisms for transporting, storing and feeding out bills.

FIG. 7 shows specific contents stored in the storage means 65 by the control system shown in FIG. That is, when a bill is inserted, the denomination is identified by the identification unit 64, and “denomination” data is obtained. In addition, the bill detecting means 6
7 or the identification means 64 obtains “storage position” data indicating the number of the stored banknote. Next, the control unit 123 calculates the total amount stored in each reflux stacker and obtains the accumulated “amount” data. In this way, the storage unit 65 stores the “storage position” data, the “denomination” data, and the “money amount” data, and further stores the storage number, which is the last storage position, as the “final pointer”.

In this example, the "denomination" data is only the 1,000 yen bill in the first circulation stacker 126, but the 5,000 yen bill and the 10,000 yen bill are mixed in the second circulation stacker 127.
When paying out a 5,000-yen bill or a ten-yen bill, unnecessary bills of the denomination are collected by the collection cassette 125 until the necessary denomination is paid out from the second winding roller according to the stored contents of the storage means 65.
Are sequentially transferred and stored. Then, when the bill of the desired denomination is paid out from the second winding roller, the bill is conveyed,
It is dispensed from the bill dispensing port 122.

FIGS. 8 to 11 show flowcharts.
The operation of the money receiving and dispensing machine according to the present invention will be described in detail.

First, according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
The detailed operation of the normal operation of the money receiving and dispensing machine will be described. Product price is entered by barcode or key input, etc.
After the sales amount is calculated and set (S802), P
The operator of the OS register 11 inputs the price paid by the customer by key (S803). At this time, usually, in order to prevent trouble, the payment is not immediately put into the money receiving and dispensing machine but is made visible in front of the customer. The control unit of the POS register 11 compares the payment amount with the sales amount to determine whether change (X) is necessary (S).
804). If the payment is insufficient (X <0), the process returns to step S803 and reenters the payment. If no change is required (X = 0), the deposit / withdrawal operation ends.
On the other hand, if a change is required (X> 0), it is first determined whether a change bill is necessary (S805). If not, the change proceeds to "coin ejection" because the change is only coins (S80).
8). On the other hand, when change bills are required, the bill depositing and dispensing machine 1
In step S806, a bill is thrown out (S806), and it is determined whether a change coin is necessary (S807). If necessary, a coin is thrown out (S808). "Bill ejection" or "coin ejection" refers to the bill depositing and dispensing machine 1 respectively.
2 or the coin depositing / dispensing machine 13. Here, when the operation ends normally (S809), the normal deposit and withdrawal operation ends.
On the other hand, when an abnormality occurs for some reason, trouble processing is performed (S811).

Next, FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of the "bill dispensing" (S806) by the dispensing control section 61 and the substitute dispensing control section 611 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12. First, in the dispensing control unit 61 of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 12, the change amount (X) is 5
It is determined whether it is less than or equal to 000 yen (S901). 500
In the case of 0 yen or more, the withdrawal control unit 61 of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 12
Determines whether there is a 5,000-yen bill from the storage contents of the second recirculation stacker in the storage means 65 (S902). If there is no 5,000-yen bill, the flow shifts to a 1,000-yen bill feeding flow (S90).
8).

On the other hand, if there is a 5,000-yen bill, control is performed by the substitute dispensing control unit 611. That is, the storage means 65
Check the deposit order from the "storage position" data and "denomination" data, and check the deposit order, and compare it with the "last pointer" to get the payout time and the 1,000 yen Compare which is faster with the payout time by the bill. In the configuration of the recirculation stacker as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a 5,000-yen bill is wound toward the back of the second take-up roller and a large number of 10,000-yen bills are provided in front of the 5,000-yen bill as described in the above-described operation. If it is wound up, it takes a long time to pay out the 5,000-yen bill because unnecessary 10,000-yen bills are paid out from the circulation stacker, transported and stored in the collection cassette. For example, if a 5,000-yen bill is wound on the second circulation stacker by a predetermined number or more, for example, five or more, the 5,000-yen bill 1
Instead of paying out the cards from the back, pay out 5 1,000-yen bills and pay 50
It may be faster to set it to 00 yen. Therefore, in such a case, it is possible to pay out by using a 1000-yen bill (S
908) to prevent inconveniences such as waste of time and unnecessary operation of the recirculation stacker.

If it is determined that the withdrawal of the 5,000-yen bill is fast (S903), the flow shifts to the flow for paying out the next 5,000-yen bill. In order to pay out the 5,000 yen bill, it is determined what the denomination at the end of the second reflux stacker is (S90).
4). In the case of a 10,000-yen bill, it cannot be changed, so it is conveyed to the collection cassette and stored (S905), and it is again determined what the last denomination of the next second reflux stacker is (S904).
In step S904, if the last denomination is a 5,000-yen bill, the 5,000-yen bill is fed from the second circulation stacker, conveyed by a belt, and discharged (S906).

Next, it is determined whether or not the amount to be dispensed is 1000 yen or more, that is, whether or not a 1,000-yen bill needs to be dispensed (S907). If not, the process proceeds to the next "coin payment" step. I do. On the other hand, if the number is 1,000 yen or more, it is determined whether or not the required number of 1000-yen bills is in the first recirculation stacker (S908). If not, the process proceeds to the trouble process (S810) in FIG. On the other hand, if there is a required number of sheets, a 1,000-yen bill is fed from the first circulation stacker.

Next, FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of a bill insertion operation by the deposit control section 62 of the bill depositing / dispensing machine 12. The banknotes that are collectively inserted into the banknote deposit slot are (S100
2) One by one (S1003), it is determined whether the bill is a normal bill (S1004). The abnormal bill is stored in the reject box 128 (S1006). If the reject box is full, the process proceeds to trouble processing (S1018). On the other hand, if the inserted bill is normal, the denomination is identified (S1007).

When the denomination is a 1,000-yen bill, the denomination is stored in the first circulation stacker (S1009), and the denomination, storage position, amount, and final pointer are stored in the storage means 65 (S1010). When the first recirculating stacker is full, it is stored in the collection cassette (S1016). If it is full, the process proceeds to trouble processing (S101).
8). If the denomination is 5,000, the second reflux stacker is not full (S1011), and is stored (S10).
12) The denomination, storage position, amount, and final pointer are stored in the storage means 65 (S1013). When the second reflux stacker is full (S1011), it is stored in the collection cassette (S1016). Next, in the case of a 100,000-yen bill, it is determined whether or not the amount stored in the second circulation stacker is equal to or less than a predetermined amount (S1014). If it is less than the predetermined amount, it is stored in the second reflux stacker (S1012), and the denomination, storage position, amount, and final pointer are stored in the storage means 65 (S1013). However, at this time, if the second reflux stacker is full (S1011), it is stored in the collection cassette (S1016). Here, the predetermined amount indicates a predetermined number or a predetermined amount, and specifically, the number or total amount of ten thousand yen bills, the number or total amount of five thousand yen bills, or the total number of five thousand yen bills and ten thousand yen bills Alternatively, it can be set as appropriate based on the total amount or the like. Since the ten thousand yen bill does not become change, only a predetermined number of sheets used for currency exchange and the like are stored in the second recirculating stacker that can be extended according to such a flowchart, and are stored in a collection cassette that cannot be extended. You.

Next, FIG. 11 shows the operation of the money change and withdrawal control unit 612 of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 12. This operation is a flowchart in which a banknote is thrown out in the case where the banknote is exchanged, advanced, or the like due to lack of change or the like.

First, a withdrawal command is issued by using a currency exchange withdrawal key or the like provided in the POS register 11 or the bill depositing / dispensing machine 12 (S1101). For example, security such as an actual key, password, and fingerprint collation can be appropriately considered. Normally, a 100,000-yen bill that cannot be used for change is dispensed for currency exchange, so the same input means is used to input the required number of 10,000-yen bills or the required amount of tens of thousands of yen (S1102). Here, a predetermined maximum amount may be preset.
As a result, the above-described “bill dispensing” flowchart is started, and the bill is dispensed from the bill dispensing port. If the processing has not been completed normally, the process proceeds to trouble processing (S110).
6).

The present invention can be variously modified in addition to the embodiment described above. For example, at present, there are three types of bills: a 1,000-yen bill, a 5,000-yen bill, and a 10,000-yen bill. By storing and feeding 1,000 yen bills in the first and second circulation stackers, respectively, and storing and extending 10,000 yen bills and 100,000 yen bills in the third circulation stacker,
You can do the same. Even now, if there are more than four kinds of denominations such as foreign banknotes,
Similarly, the denomination of the highest denomination and the denomination of the second highest denomination are represented by the 5,000 bills and the 10,000 yen bills in the above embodiment,
The present invention can be applied by storing and feeding out with a common reflux stacker. In addition, it is not always necessary to store and draw out the first and second most expensive denominations in the common reflux stacker. For example, when there is no need to recycle the highest denomination or the lowest denomination at all,
It is also possible to appropriately select banknotes of the denominations to be stored and fed out by the common recirculation stacker, such as handling the second and third high denominations by the common recirculation stacker. is there. In such a case, the remaining denominations can be appropriately handled as needed, such as storing and feeding out the recirculation stacker or the recovery stacker for each denomination. Further, a plurality of commonly used circulation stackers may be provided so as to correspond to a plurality of kinds of banknotes of denominations. In addition, when there is a deposit or withdrawal of banknotes or coins in each embodiment, or according to a command, a receipt or the like can be printed and output as appropriate.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention, the first and second recirculation stackers and the collection cassette are provided as storage portions of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device, and the first and second denomination banknotes (for example, , 1,000 yen bills, 5,000 yen bills) as well as conventional ones, and not used as change, but used for currency exchange, etc., it is used for exchange, etc. It is a high value bill of the third denomination with a low usage frequency, circulation frequency etc. By circulating a part of (for example, a 10,000 yen bill) and storing the storage positions and the denominations of the two denomination bills stored in the second recirculation stacker, the structure is simplified and compared. It is possible to solve the problem of poor operability and the problem of cash management while having a compact and low-cost configuration.

Further, since the third denomination banknote can be recirculated by the minimum number required for currency exchange, when a large number of low-value banknotes are deposited, a conventional two-kind recirculation type banknote depositing / dispensing machine is used. Processing can be carried out at the same speed, and when low bills are reduced and currency exchange by high bills is necessary, high bills can be circulated and can be made quickly.

Since the banknotes that do not need to be recirculated are stored in the collection cassette, the time required for collection from each recirculation stacker to the collection cassette at the end of business can be shortened.

Further, when only a large amount of second denomination banknotes are stored in the second recirculating stacker and the amount becomes sufficient for currency exchange, the third denomination banknotes are collected in a collection cassette. It can process at the same speed as the remittance type banknote pay-in / pay-out machine, and stores bills that do not require recirculation in the collection cassette. Collection time can be reduced.

In the case where it takes time to dispense a 5,000-yen bill, replacement can be made with a 1,000-yen bill, so that a change can be quickly paid out.
