Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view showing the internal structure of the banknote transaction apparatus. As shown in FIG. 1, the banknote transaction apparatus A stores a deposit / withdrawal port 1, a discrimination section 2, a temporary storage section 3, a return storage section 4, and a reject banknote storage that stores reject banknotes (described later) generated during a deposit / withdrawal transaction described later. The unit 5 includes a normal banknote storage unit 6 to 9 for storing (stacking) and feeding banknotes for each denomination, a loading / recovery box 10, and a transport path 13 for transporting banknotes therebetween.

  Among these, the discrimination unit 2 determines the denomination and number of banknotes of the banknote transaction apparatus A, is a normal banknote, or rejects banknotes (denomination type banknotes, number of banknotes, various transport abnormal banknotes, dirty banknotes, Whether or not it is handled in the banknote transaction apparatus A is determined based on whether the banknote is a torn banknote or a broken banknote.

  The filling / recovery box 10 includes a loaded / collected banknote storage unit 11 and a non-device-managed banknote storage unit 12. The loaded / collected banknote storage unit 11 is a storage unit that stores the banknote B1 at the time of banknote loading / recovery, and the unmanaged banknote storage unit 12 is a storage unit that stores a reject banknote generated at the time of loading a banknote.

  The filling / recovery box 10 is detachable from the housing A1 of the banknote transaction apparatus A. For this reason, the operator can take out the filling / recovery box 10 from the banknote transaction apparatus A and take it back in / out in the banknote loading operation, and load the banknote B1 into the loaded / collected banknote storage unit 11. Then, after the bill B1 is loaded, the filling and collecting box 10 is reattached to a predetermined position in the bill transaction apparatus A, so that the apparatus A can be prepared for accepting the deposit / withdrawal transaction.

FIG. 2 is a control block diagram of the banknote transaction apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. The banknote transaction apparatus A is provided with a banknote processing unit control unit 20.
The banknote processing unit control unit 20 mainly includes a CPU 21 as a central processing unit, a ROM 22 as a program storage memory, a RAM 23, a higher-level communication I / O 24, a discrimination unit communication I / O 25, and an interface 26. It is a connected configuration.

  The ROM 22 stores various programs for controlling the operation of the banknote transaction apparatus A. The ROM 22 stores, for example, a loading control program 22A that controls the operation when the banknotes loaded in the loaded and collected banknote storage unit 11 of the loading and collecting box 10 are loaded into the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 when the banknotes are loaded. ing. In addition to this, the ROM 22 stores a deposit / withdrawal control program (not shown) for controlling the operation at the time of deposit / withdrawal of banknotes at the deposit / withdrawal port 1.

  Here, the loading control program 22A mainly includes a normal banknote sorting control program 22a and a reject banknote sorting control program 22b which will be described later.

  Further, the RAM 23 has a storage area 23a for storing a reject banknote storage count value which will be described later.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing control unit 20, the CPU 21 is connected to the upper control unit 30 via the upper communication I / O 24 including the communication chip 24a. Furthermore, CPU21 is connected to the discrimination part 2 via the discrimination part communication I / O25 which consists of communication chips 25a.

  Further, the CPU 21 is connected to a transport mechanism I / O 40 including a transport motor 41 for driving the transport path 13, a transport monitoring sensor 42, and a sorting flapper 43 via an interface 26.

  Of these, for example, the sorting flapper 43 is shown as one block in FIG. 2 for the sake of convenience, but actually, the loaded banknote B1 corresponds to each of the storage units 5 to 9 and the non-device management banknote storage unit 12. A plurality of flappers are provided for sorting and the like.

  In the present embodiment, as indicated by arrows in FIG. 1, banknotes can be stored (stacked) and fed out in the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 and the loaded and recovered banknote storage unit 11 by the transport path 13 and the sorting flapper 43. On the other hand, only the banknotes can be stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 and the non-device management banknote storage unit 12.

  Next, the deposit / withdrawal transaction of the banknote transaction apparatus A will be described. First, at the time of deposit transaction, a banknote deposited by a user is received at the deposit / withdrawal port 1 and conveyed to the discrimination unit 2. And after determining whether this banknote is a normal banknote or a reject banknote, it accommodates in the temporary storage part 3 and hold | maintains it temporarily. The banknote determined to be a reject banknote at this time is temporarily held in the return holding unit 4 and later returned to the deposit / withdrawal port 1.

  The temporary holding unit 3 temporarily holds the deposited banknotes for each deposit transaction, conveys the banknotes temporarily suspended after the payment is confirmed, and determines whether the banknotes are normal banknotes or reject banknotes. If it is a banknote, it accommodates, distributing to the normal banknote accommodating parts 6-9 allocated for every money type. Moreover, the banknote determined to be a reject banknote is distributed to the reject banknote storage unit 5 with the assumption that payment to the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 is impossible.

  On the other hand, at the time of a withdrawal transaction, the discrimination unit 2 determines whether the banknotes withdrawn (delivered) from the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 are normal banknotes or reject banknotes. Here, if it is a normal banknote, it will withdraw from the deposit / withdrawal port 1, while if it is a reject banknote, it will be considered that the withdrawal from the deposit / withdrawal port 1 is impossible, and will be accommodated in the reject banknote storage part 5.

  Here, when reject banknotes are stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5, the number is counted for each denomination. For example, every time a banknote is determined as a reject banknote in the discrimination unit 2, the count value is updated each time according to the denomination, and this is stored in the RAM 23 as a reject banknote storage number count value.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of loading control of the banknote transaction apparatus A is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a conveyance path of normal banknotes when loading banknotes, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a conveyance path of reject banknotes when loading banknotes.

  In loading the banknote B1 with the banknote transaction apparatus A, the operator first loads the banknote B1 into the loaded / collected banknote storage unit 11 of the filling / collecting box 10 and attaches the loaded / collected box 10 to a predetermined position in the apparatus A.

  Here, the host control unit 30 is configured to accept a predetermined operation by the operator after the above-described loading and collecting box 10 is mounted. Upon receiving the predetermined operation, the host control unit 30 transmits a control signal to the banknote processing control unit 20 to execute loading control based on the loading control program 22A.

  At this time, in the banknote transaction apparatus A, normal banknotes that can be handled in the banknote transaction apparatus A and rejected banknotes that cannot be handled are fed out one by one from the loaded collection banknote storage unit 11 in the loading collection box 10. Either one is determined by the discrimination unit 2. Here, if it is normal banknote B2, as shown by the thick arrow X1 in FIG. 3, it will distribute to the normal banknote accommodating parts 6-9 corresponding to a money type.

  On the other hand, in the case of a reject banknote, when the denomination and the number of sheets are confirmed, as shown by the thick arrow Y1 in FIG. 4, this is stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 as a confirmed reject banknote B3. If the number is not fixed, as shown by a thick arrow Y2 in FIG. 4, it is stored in the banknote storage unit 12 outside device management as an unconfirmed reject banknote B4.

  Here, when the confirmed reject banknote B3 is stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5, the number is counted for each denomination as in the deposit / withdrawal transaction, and the updated count value is stored in the RAM 23.

Next, the operation of the banknote transaction apparatus A when loading banknotes in this embodiment will be described with the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the CPU 21 of the banknote processing control unit 20 receives a determination result from the discrimination unit 2 (step S1). Here, when the determination result is the normal banknote B2 (step S2: YES), the CPU 21 executes the normal banknote distribution control program 22a of the loading control program 22A stored in the ROM 22. Then, the sorting flapper 43 corresponding to the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 is controlled, and the storage destination is determined as one of the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 according to the denomination determined by the determination unit 2 (step). S3).

  On the other hand, when it determines with it being a banknote which is not normal banknote B2, ie, a reject banknote (step S2: NO), CPU21 runs the reject banknote distribution control program 22b of the loading control program 22A stored in ROM22. At this time, the CPU 21 first determines whether the reject banknote is the confirmed reject banknote B3 or the unconfirmed reject banknote B4 (step S4).

  Here, if it is a confirmed reject banknote (step S4: YES), the reject banknote storage unit 5 is determined as the storage destination and the sorting flapper 43 corresponding to this is controlled (step S5), while the unconfirmed reject banknote. When it is B4 (step S4: NO), the banknote storage part 12 outside apparatus management is determined as a storage destination, and the distribution flapper 43 corresponding to this is controlled (step S6). Thus, CPU21 distributes a reject banknote to either the reject banknote storage part 5 or the apparatus management non-management banknote storage part 12 based on determination of a money type and the number of sheets.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the CPU 21 executes the process of step S4, thereby confirming the confirmed reject banknote B3 in which the denomination and the number of sheets are determined from the reject banknote, and the denomination and the number of sheets. It functions as a sorting means for sorting the unconfirmed reject banknote B4 that has not been done.

  Furthermore, CPU21 functions as a distribution means which distributes each reject banknote B3 and B4 to the reject banknote storage part 5 and the banknote storage part 12 outside apparatus management by performing the process of step S5, S6 based on determination of step S4. doing.

  Here, as a case to be determined as the confirmed reject banknote B3, although the denomination and the number of sheets are fixed, the banknote is dirtied, damaged, foreign matter such as tape is attached, and one side is preceded normally when passing the transport. The thing which conveyance abnormality, such as skew abnormality which cannot be integrated | stacked on the normal banknote storage parts 6-9 generate | occur | produced, is mentioned.

  In this way, the confirmed reject banknote B3 whose denomination and number of sheets are determined at the time of loading is distributed to the reject banknote storage unit 5 as another storage unit different from the non-device management banknote storage unit 12, thereby managing the device. By not storing in the outer banknote storage part 12, when the reject banknote is only the confirmed reject banknote B3, the banknote which returns to the apparatus management non-banknote storage part 12 is lost.

  In this case, since all the banknotes in the banknote transaction apparatus A are banknotes whose denomination and number are managed, the operator does not need to check the banknote storage unit 12 outside the apparatus management. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the trouble of removing the loading / recovery box 10 from the housing A1 and taking it home.

  In other words, by preventing the confirmed reject banknotes B3 occupying the majority of reject banknotes from returning to the unmanaged banknote storage unit 12, the occurrence of unmanaged banknotes that need to be taken out into and out of the banknotes is suppressed. Thus, the burden on the operator can be reduced.

  Moreover, by storing the reject banknote generated at the time of deposit / withdrawal transaction and the confirmed reject banknote B3 at the time of banknote loading in the common reject banknote storage section 5, it is not necessary to provide a separate storage section. Space can be saved.

  Further, when the CPU 21 determines that the rejected banknote B3 has been confirmed in step S4, the CPU 21 updates the count value stored in the RAM 23 according to the determined denomination together with the processing in step S5. The CPU 21 functions as reject banknote counting means for counting the number of confirmed reject banknotes B3 for each denomination.

  Thus, banknote management in the banknote transaction apparatus A is performed by counting the number of confirmed reject banknotes B3 stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 for each denomination simultaneously with the sorting and distribution of the reject banknotes B3 and B4. Can be performed more accurately and easily.

  In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the confirmed reject banknote B3 generated at the time of loading is stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 that stores the reject banknote generated at the time of deposit / withdrawal transaction. In this case, the reject banknote storage unit 5 is likely to become full or nearly full with reject banknotes.

  Here, if the reject banknote storage part 5 becomes full, when a reject banknote occurs at the time of deposit / withdrawal transaction, the storage destination will be lost, and as a result, the deposit / withdrawal transaction of the banknote transaction apparatus A will continue. The inconvenience that it becomes impossible to occur.

  Therefore, in FIG. 6, a confirmed reject banknote storage unit 14 different from the reject banknote storage unit 5 is provided as the other storage unit, and a confirmed reject banknote B3 is generated as indicated by a thick arrow Y3 in FIG. 6. In such a case, this is sorted and stored in the confirmed reject banknote storage unit 14.

  In this embodiment, the reject banknote storage unit 5 functions as a dedicated deposit / withdrawal transaction banknote storage unit for storing the reject banknote B5 during the deposit / withdrawal transaction. In FIG. 6, the same components as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  In this case, when the confirmed reject banknote B3 is stored in the confirmed reject banknote storage unit 14 different from the reject banknote storage unit 5, as shown in FIG. The reject banknote B5 can be stored separately, and the reject banknote storage unit 5 can be prevented from being filled with reject banknotes.

  Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a control block diagram of the banknote transaction apparatus A, FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a transport path of reject banknotes when loading banknotes, and FIG. 9 is a banknote transaction apparatus A shown in FIGS. It is a flowchart which shows this operation | movement. 7 and 8, the same components as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the confirmed reject banknote B3 is normally stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 while the number of reject banknotes stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 exceeds a predetermined number. Sometimes, the storage destination of the subsequent confirmed reject banknote B3 is stored in the other banknote storage unit 12 outside device management.

  In the present embodiment, in the banknote processing control unit 20, among the loading control programs 22A ′ stored in the ROM 22, the reject banknote distribution control program 122b includes a storage location change determination program 122b1 described later.

  In the present embodiment, the total banknote count value stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 is also stored in the storage area 23a using the reject banknote storage count value stored for each denomination in the RAM 23. ing. The RAM 23 has a storage area 23b for storing a storage location change determination threshold, which will be described later, in addition to the storage area 23a.

  When the banknote B1 is loaded, the confirmed reject banknote B3 is normally stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 as in the first embodiment, but the number of sheets stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 is the same. When the storage destination change determination threshold is exceeded, the storage destination of the confirmed reject banknote B3 is set to the non-device management banknote storage unit 12, as indicated by the thick arrow Y4 in FIG.

Next, the operation of the banknote transaction apparatus A when loading banknotes in this embodiment will be described with the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the CPU 21 executes steps S11 to S14 corresponding to steps S1 to S4 shown in FIG. At this time, if the determination result in step S12 is a normal banknote B2 (step S12: YES), the CPU 21 executes the normal banknote distribution control program 22a of the loading control program 22A ′, and if it is a reject banknote. (Step S12: NO), the reject banknote distribution control program 122b is executed.

  Here, when the reject banknote is the unconfirmed reject banknote B4 (step S14: NO), the CPU 21 executes step S16 corresponding to step S6 of FIG.

  On the other hand, when the reject banknote is the confirmed reject banknote B3 (step S14: YES), the CPU 21 executes the storage location change determination program 122b1 of the reject banknote distribution control program 122b.

  At this time, the CPU 21 updates the count value for each denomination stored in the RAM 23 and, at the same time, updates the total number count value stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5. Then, the CPU 21 compares the count value with the storage location change determination threshold value stored in the RAM 23 (step S15).

  As a result of the comparison in step S15, when the count value exceeds the threshold value (step S15: YES), it is considered that the banknote cannot be stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 more than the current state, and the confirmed reject The storage location of the banknote B3 is determined to be the banknote storage section 12 outside device management, and the distribution flapper 43 corresponding to this is controlled (step S16).

  On the other hand, as a result of the comparison in step S15, when the count value is equal to or less than the threshold value (step S15: NO), the storage destination of the confirmed reject banknote B3 is determined to be the reject banknote storage unit 5, and a distribution flapper corresponding thereto. 43 is controlled (step S17).

  In this way, the number of reject banknotes stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 is counted, and when the count value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the banknote storage unit 12 outside the device management different from the reject banknote storage unit 5 is confirmed. By storing the reject banknote B3, it is possible to prevent the reject banknote storage unit 5 from being filled with the confirmed reject banknote B3 when the banknote is loaded, and as a result, the banknote transaction apparatus A cannot continue the deposit / withdrawal transaction. The situation can be avoided.

  In the present invention, when the count value of the reject banknotes stored in the reject banknote storage unit 5 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the storage destination of the confirmed reject banknote B3 is set as the non-device management banknote storage unit 12. It is not necessarily limited to. For example, the storage destination of the confirmed reject banknote B3 may be the normal banknote storage units 6 to 9 as shown by the thick arrow Y5 in FIG. In FIG. 10, the same components as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  In this case, there is an inconvenience that the confirmed reject banknote B3 is more likely to cause banknote retention and sorting failure in the transport path 13 than a normal banknote, but on the other hand, the reject banknote storage unit 5 is prevented from becoming full. On the other hand, since a banknote does not return to the banknote storage part 12 outside apparatus management, there is an effect that the burden on the operator can be reduced.

  Moreover, it is not necessarily limited to memorize | store in the RAM23 (refer FIG. 7) of the storage destination change determination threshold value preset in order to determine the storage destination change of the confirmed reject banknote. For example, the storage location change determination threshold value may be stored in a storage unit in the upper control unit 30. In this case, the CPU 21 executes step S14 shown in FIG. 9 by reading the storage location change determination threshold value from the storage means in the upper control unit 30 via the upper communication I / O 24.
