Description

  The present invention relates to a money handling apparatus that processes money such as banknotes and coins.

For example, some money handling apparatuses that handle deposits and withdrawals of banknotes transport banknotes deposited from a deposit port to a temporary storage unit for storage (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 below).
In Patent Document 1, an operation for confirming payment is performed, whereby the banknote held in the temporary storage unit is stored in a storage provided in the money handling apparatus.
JP-A-10-105776 JP 2004-102669 A

However, since the number of banknotes that can be accommodated in the temporary storage unit is limited, the temporary storage unit becomes full when a large amount of banknotes is deposited at one time. In addition, when a lot of banknotes are deposited at once, there is a strong tendency to deposit a large amount of banknotes of the same denomination.
When the temporary holding unit becomes full, the depositing is temporarily stopped, and the banknotes in the temporary holding unit are transferred to a storage or the like to make a space in the temporary holding unit. Then, after that, the deposit is accepted again. For this reason, the time from the start of payment to the completion of payment becomes longer.

Although it is conceivable to increase the amount of banknotes that can be held at once by increasing the capacity of the temporary storage unit, the banknote processing device is enlarged. A similar problem exists in a money handling apparatus that handles coins.
The present invention has been made based on the background art as described above, and provides a money handling apparatus that can accept a large amount of money at the time of depositing and achieve space saving. Objective.

The present invention is a money handling apparatus (1) for processing money, which includes a deposit port (3) and an identification unit (5) for identifying the denomination of money deposited from the deposit port (3). ), A first temporary holding unit (14) for temporarily holding the money identified by the identification unit (5), and storing the money fed out from the first temporary holding unit (14) a plurality of storage boxes for (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d , 9e) and wherein the plurality of storage boxes (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d , 9e) at least one of, is identified by the identification unit The money processing apparatus (1 ) further comprising first setting means (40 ) for temporarily holding money of a specific denomination and functioning as a second temporary holding unit for feeding it to the storage. ).

In this section, the alphanumeric characters in parentheses indicate reference numerals of corresponding components in the embodiments described later, but the invention is not limited by these reference numerals.
According to said structure, the storage provided normally so that a large amount of money can be accommodated can be functioned as a temporary storage part which temporarily hold | maintains the money of a specific denomination. Therefore, for example, by temporarily holding a specific denomination of money (for example, 100 yuan banknotes in China) that tends to be deposited in large quantities at once in a storage that functions as a temporary storage unit, Since a large amount of money can be held at one time and the deposit processing can be prevented from being interrupted, the time from the start of deposit to the completion of deposit can be shortened. And since what was originally provided as a storage is also used as a temporary storage part, it does not need to enlarge a money processing apparatus and can achieve space saving.

Further, in the money handling apparatus (1) of the present invention, the first temporary storage section (14), even for a short period it holds configure the predetermined money other than the money of the specific denomination Good.
According to the above-described configuration, a predetermined currency other than the currency of the specific denomination with a large amount of handling (for example, 50 yuan banknote, 20 yuan banknote, and 10 yuan banknote in China) is stored in the temporary storage unit (14). Can be held. If the temporary holding unit (14) can temporarily hold a plurality of denominations of money in a mixed state, the temporary holding unit can handle a plurality of denominations of money with a common temporary holding unit. Miniaturization can be realized.

  Moreover, in the money handling apparatus (1) of this invention, it is preferable that the said predetermined money is a banknote whose short length is comparable and is not the said specific denomination. The short length of the same length specifically refers to a bill having a difference in short length of bills of, for example, 10 mm or less. This is because if the difference in the short lengths of the banknotes is within this range, a feeding failure will not occur when the banknotes are fed out.

Therefore, according to the above-described configuration, the temporary storage unit (14) is not limited to the configuration in which the banknotes are held between the reel tapes, and a configuration in which the banknotes accumulated and stored are fed out by rollers can be employed. .
Further, in the money handling apparatus (1) of the present invention, the plurality of storages (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e) can individually set the denominations of money to be stored, and the plurality of storages have the same money. It is good also as a structure which has a 2nd setting means (40) set as a storage for storing seed money, and a certain storage is set as a mixed storage for storing money of a plurality of denominations by mixing.

  According to the above-described configuration, a plurality of storages are set as storages for 100 yuan banknotes for currency of a specific denomination with a large amount of deposit (for example, 100 yuan banknotes in China). Thereby, even if a large amount of money of a specific denomination is deposited, it can be stored without any inconvenience, and the stoppage of the money handling apparatus due to the storage being full can be almost eliminated. Moreover, money of a denomination with a small amount of handling can be stored in a small storage space.

Moreover, in the money handling apparatus (1) of the present invention, the second setting means (40) can set each of the plurality of storage boxes (9b, 9c, 9d) as a storage box corresponding to the attribute of money. It may be a configuration.
According to the above configuration, in addition to the denomination, it is possible to store the money separately according to the attributes of the money (whether the money is face up or face down, the direction of the money, the loss or the like). And the money divided according to the attribute can be withdrawn as a bundle of money with the same attribute.

In addition, in the money handling apparatus (1) of the present invention, it is provided with a withdrawal port (8) and responds to an input of a command to withdraw money of a predetermined denomination from the mixed storage (9e). Then, when money is paid out in order from the mixed storage (9e) and the delivered money is not the predetermined denomination, the money is held in the first temporary holding unit (14), and the delivered money is In the case of the predetermined denomination, it may be configured to have a withdrawal control means (40) for transporting to the withdrawal port (8).

  According to the above-described configuration, the mixed storage (9e) can be withdrawn without inconvenience.

Each of the storage boxes 9a to 9e is provided with a feeding mechanism 11a to 11e, respectively, so that banknotes stored at the time of withdrawal can be fed to the branch paths 23 to 27.

Among the banknotes deposited from the hopper 3, banknotes identified as reject banknotes (fake banknotes or the like) in the identification unit 5 are transported from the transport path 6 to the branch path 20 and discharged to the reject banknote discharge port 7.
Banknotes other than reject banknotes deposited from the hopper 3 are normally held in the temporary holding unit 14 via the branch path 21. And after payment is confirmed, it is stored in the banknote storage 9 through one of the branch paths 23 to 27 according to the denomination. Moreover, the banknote of the money type accommodated in each banknote storage 9 is drawn out from each banknote storage 9, and is given to the banding stacking part 15 or 16 via the branch path 22 from the conveyance path 6. FIG. Then, a predetermined number (for example, 100) of stacked banknotes M stacked in denominations are made into banknote bundles by the banding device 17, and banknote bundles are transported by the transport belt 33, and are withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 18. Is done.

The banknotes held in the temporary holding unit 14 are returned from the withdrawal port 8 via the conveyance path 6 and the branch path 20 when the deposit is canceled.
When the banknotes stored in the storage 9 are withdrawn, the banknotes are drawn out from the storage 9 and sent to the transport path 6, and the denomination of the banknotes are further identified by the identification unit 5.

The flow of banknotes described above is a general description, and the banknotes can be processed in a desired manner by changing the setting contents of the banknote processing apparatus 1 as described below.
<Setting mode of storage>
FIGS. 2-4 is an illustration figure which shows the example of a setting from which the banknote denomination accommodated in storage 9a-9e differs. As an example, the case of handling Chinese yuan banknotes will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the first storage 9a is a banknote storage that stores a plurality of denominations in a denomination mixed state. The second storage 9b is set as a 100 yuan banknote storage for storing 100 yuan banknotes, the third storage 9c is set as a 50 yuan banknote storage for storing 50 yuan banknotes, The 4 storage 9d can be set as a 20 yuan banknote storage for storing 20 yuan banknotes, and the fifth storage 9e can be set as a 10 yuan banknote storage for storing 10 yuan banknotes. As described above, the basic setting is to set one storage 9a as a collective storage and the remaining four storages 9b to 9e as denomination storages.

As shown in FIG. 3, the banknote handling apparatus 1 can set the storage 9 a as a temporary storage unit for 100 yuan banknotes.
Moreover, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th storage 9b, 9c, 9d can be set as a 100 yuan banknote storage for accommodating a 100 yuan banknote.
Further, the fifth storage 9e can be set as a mixed storage for storing 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes, and 10 yuan banknotes as a predetermined banknote other than 100 yuan (specific denomination).

In addition, it is preferable that the banknote accommodated in the 5th storage 9e is a banknote with the same length of a transversal direction. If the lengths in the short direction are equal, banknotes can be fed out smoothly, and even if the denominations are different, no feeding mistakes or double feeding occurs.
FIG. 4 shows an example of setting when depositing European euro banknotes instead of Chinese yuan banknotes.

  In FIG. 4, the 1st storage 9a is set to the temporary storage part of the 5 euro banknote as a specific denomination. The second storage 9b is set to a 5 euro banknote storage. The third storage 9c is set as a 10 euro banknote storage. The fourth storage 9d is set as a mixed banknote storage for storing 20 euro banknotes and 50 euro banknotes by mixing. The fifth storage 9e is set as a mixed banknote storage for storing 100 euro, 200 euro and 500 euro banknotes in a mixed manner.

As described above, the plurality of storage boxes 9 can be set as temporary storage units for specific banknotes, and can be individually set as storage boxes for storing banknotes of any denomination. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the number of storages 9, and the versatility of the banknote processing apparatus 1 can be increased.
<Control circuit block>
FIG. 5 is a control circuit block diagram for executing a control operation that is a feature of the banknote handling apparatus 1, and only a configuration necessary for the operation that is a feature of the present invention is shown.

The banknote handling apparatus 1 includes a control unit 40 configured with a microcomputer or the like. The control unit 40 is given a signal from the operation unit 12 and identification information from the identification unit 5. The control unit 40 controls the take-in path 4, the conveyance path 6, the branch paths 20 to 27, the feeding mechanisms 11 a to 11 e, and the temporary holding unit 14 based on these given signals and information.
<Setting control operation>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the setting operation performed by the control unit 40. In response to the operation of the operation unit 12, the control unit 40 performs the setting operation shown in FIG.

A description will be given with reference to FIG. 3 in accordance with the flow of FIG.
By operating the operation unit 12, as shown in FIG. 3, the storage denomination of each storage 9 can be set. Setting is performed for each storage. First, according to operation of the operation part 12, the control part 40 sets the 1st storage 9a as a temporary storage part which temporarily hold | maintains a 100 yuan banknote (step S1).

Moreover, the control part 40 sets the 2nd-4th storage 9b-9d together as a 100 yuan banknote storage which stores a 100 yuan banknote (steps S2-S4).
Furthermore, the control part 40 sets the 5th storage 9e as a mixing storage which stores 50 yuan, 20 yuan, and 10 yuan banknote by mixing (step S5).
When the setting is completed, the setting contents are stored in the control unit 40, and the setting contents are taken into account when depositing and dispensing banknotes.
<Deposit control operation>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the deposit control operation. The deposit control operation will be described with reference to FIG. 3 in accordance with the flow of FIG.

The control unit 40 determines whether or not there is a deposit (step Q1). The collected banknotes are accumulated in the hopper 3, and when a deposit key (not shown) is pressed, it is determined that there is a deposit, and banknotes are taken in one by one from the take-in path 4 to the transport path 6. And if a banknote passes the identification unit 5, the money type of this banknote, damage, authenticity, etc. will be identified (step Q2).
The 100 yuan banknote identified by the identification unit 5 passes through the branch path 27 from the transport path 6 and is transported to the first storage 9a set as the 100 yuan banknote temporary storage unit (step Q3). It is temporarily held in the storage 9a.

On the other hand, the banknote identified by the identification unit 5 as being a 50, 20 or 10 yuan banknote is transported from the transport path 6 through the branch path 21 to the temporary storage section 14 (step Q4). Is temporarily suspended.
In this embodiment, the temporary storage unit 14 is a reel tape type storage unit. However, if the denomination banknotes to be mixed are of the same length in the short direction, the temporary storage unit 14 is, for example, a reel. Instead of a tape-type holding unit, a type of holding unit that collects and holds banknotes can also be used. Note that banknotes having the same length in the short direction mean banknotes having a difference in length in the short direction of, for example, 10 mm or less. If the difference in the short lengths of the banknotes is within this range, there will be no feeding failure when the banknotes are fed out. Therefore, an integrated type holding unit can be used.

  Next, when the operation unit 12 is operated by the operator and a cancel key (not shown) is pressed, the control unit 40 determines that the deposit is cancelled (YES in step Q5). In the case of deposit cancellation, the 100 yuan banknote temporarily held in the first storage 9a is transported through the branch path 27, the transport path 6, the identification unit 5 and the branch path 20 and returned to the withdrawal port 8 ( Step Q6). In addition, the 50, 20 and 10 yuan banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 14 are transported through the branch path 21, the transport path 6, the identification unit 5 and the branch path 20 and returned from the withdrawal port 8. Is done.

  On the other hand, if there is no payment cancellation (NO in step Q5), it is determined whether or not the payment is confirmed (step Q7). The payment confirmation is affirmed, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the payment is completed, or when a payment setting key (not shown) is pressed by the operator. When the deposit is confirmed (YES in step Q7), the 100 yuan banknote temporarily held in the first storage 9a is transported through the branch path 27, the transport path 6 and the identification unit 5, and further, the branch paths 26, 25, Any one of 24 is conveyed and conveyed to any one of the second to fourth storages 9b to 9d (step Q8). For example, 100 yuan banknotes are stored in the second storage 9b. If the second storage 9b is full, it is stored in the third storage 9c, and if the third storage 9c is full, the fourth storage It is stored in the storage 9d. Therefore, after the payment is confirmed, the first storage 9a set as the temporary holding unit is immediately emptied and can be prepared for the next payment.

On the other hand, banknotes of 50 yuan, 20 yuan and 10 yuan temporarily held in the temporary storage unit 14 are transported through the branch path 21, the transport path 6 and the branch path 23 and stored in a mixed state in the fifth storage 9e. (Step Q9).
Since the above deposit control process is performed, even if a large amount of 100 yuan banknotes are deposited at a time, a large amount of 100 yuan banknotes can be accepted without interruption. Moreover, even if it is a case where payment | payment is cancelled | paid, it can pay out and return from the 1st storage 9a set as the temporary storage part for the 100 yuan banknote deposited.

Therefore, the banknote processing apparatus 1 can smoothly perform deposit processing for banknotes of specific denominations (for example, 100 yuan banknotes) that are distributed in large quantities and that do not require the temporary holding unit 14 to be enlarged. Can do.
<Withdrawal control operation>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the withdrawal control operation.

The withdrawal control operation will be described with reference to FIG. 3 in accordance with the flow of FIG.
In the withdrawal control operation, the control unit 40 first determines whether or not it is withdrawal (step R1). When it is determined that the withdrawal is made, it is determined whether or not the banknote to be withdrawn is 100 yuan (step R2).
For example, when the operation unit 12 is operated and a 100 yuan banknote withdrawal command is issued, the process proceeds from step R1 to R2 to R3, and the 100 yuan banknote is paid out from the second storage 9b (step R3). And the control part 40 discriminate | determines whether the 100 yuan banknote to withdraw is banded (step R4).

  Further, when the operator inputs the withdrawal of 500 100 yuan banknotes and inputs the withdrawal as a banknote bundle, the process of the control unit 40 proceeds to step R5 and is fed out from the second storage case 9b. 100 yuan banknotes are conveyed to the banding stacking unit 15 or 16 (step R5). For example, when 100 yuan banknotes accumulated in the banding stacking unit 15 reach 100 sheets, the 100 yuan banknotes are fed to the banding device 17 and are banded (step R6). Then, the 100-yuan banknote bundle is transported by the transport belt 33 and is withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 18 (step R7).

  In addition, while the 100 yuan banknotes accumulated in the banding stacking unit 15 reach 100 sheets and the stacked banknotes are given to the banding device 17, the 100 yuan banknotes sent next are stacked in the banding stacking unit 16. When the banknotes reach 100, the stacked banknotes of the banding stacking unit 16 are banded by the banding device 17. In this way, by allowing the banding stacking units 15 and 16 to alternately stack the banknotes until the predetermined number of sheets is reached, the dispensing of a large number of sheets can be performed smoothly without interruption.

When it is determined in step R4 that the band is not sealed, the 100 yuan banknotes fed out from the second storage 9b are withdrawn through the branch path 20 to the withdrawal port 8 (step R8).
In step R2, when it is determined that the withdrawal banknote is not a 100-yuan banknote (NO in step R2), the banknote is fed out from the fifth storage 9e. More specifically, when the operation unit 12 is operated by the operator and a withdrawal command for 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes or 10 yuan banknotes is given, the banknotes are fed out from the fifth storage 9e.

  In the fifth storage 9e, as described above, 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes and 10 yuan banknotes are collected and stored in a mixed state without being distinguished. Therefore, all the banknotes fed out from the fifth storage 9e are not necessarily banknotes for which withdrawal is requested. For example, if the current withdrawal request is a 50 yuan banknote, the fed banknote is transported through the transport path 6 and is identified again by the identification unit 5, whereby the withdrawal requested banknote (for example, 50 yuan). (Banknote) is identified (step R10). When the fed banknote is not a withdrawal type (for example, when a 50 yuan banknote is requested to be dispensed and the identified banknote is not a 50 yuan banknote but a 20 yuan banknote or a 10 yuan banknote (NO in step R10). ), The bill is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 14 (step R12).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the fed banknote is a withdrawal type (YES in step R10), it is then determined whether or not a command to seal the withdrawal banknote is given (step R11). .
When the band is to be bound (YES in step R11), the processing of steps R5, R6, and R7 described above is performed, and the banknotes to be withdrawn are banded and withdrawn from the banknote bundle dispensing port 18.

On the other hand, when an instruction to seal the band is not given (NO in step R11), the banknote is withdrawn from the withdrawal port 8 (step R8).
Further, when the withdrawal is determined for the banknote that is not denominated to be withdrawn and conveyed to the temporary holding unit 14 at the time of withdrawal (YES in Step R13), the fifth storage 9e is again returned from the temporary holding unit 14. To be stored (step R14).

Thus, after the withdrawal process is completed, the temporary storage unit 14 is in a state where the banknote is emptied, so that it becomes possible to cope with the next deposit or withdrawal.
As explained above, according to this embodiment, the 1st storage 9a provided so that a large amount of banknotes can be accommodated can be functioned as a temporary storage part. Therefore, a large amount of banknotes can be held at a time by temporarily holding 100 yuan banknotes that tend to be deposited in large quantities in the first storage 9a that functions as a temporary storage unit. Since the processing can be prevented from being interrupted, the time from the start of deposit to the completion of deposit can be shortened.

Moreover, since the first storage 9a originally provided as a storage is also used as a temporary storage unit, the bill processing apparatus 1 can be saved without increasing the size, and space saving can be achieved.
Further, 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes and 10 yuan banknotes other than 100 yuan banknotes with a large handling amount can be temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 14. As described above, the temporary storage unit 14 can temporarily hold a plurality of denomination banknotes in a mixed state, so that further downsizing of the banknote processing apparatus 1 can be realized.

  Furthermore, for a 100 yuan banknote with a large deposit amount, a plurality of storages 9b to 9d can be set as a 100 yuan banknote storage. Thereby, even if a 100 yuan banknote is deposited in large quantities, it can be stored without any inconvenience, and the banknote processing apparatus 1 can be almost completely stopped due to the storage 9 being full. Moreover, 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes, and 10 yuan banknotes with a small handling amount can be stored in a small storage space.

Further, when, for example, a 50 yuan banknote is withdrawn from the mixed storage case 9e, if the money paid out from the mixed storage case 9e is not a 50 yuan bill, the banknote is held in the temporary holding unit 14 and the drawn out banknote is In the case of a 50 yuan banknote, this banknote is conveyed to the withdrawal port 8. Thereby, the withdrawal of the mixed storage 9e can be performed without any inconvenience.
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. For example, any of the storages 9a to 9e can be freely set as a temporary holding unit. Similarly, any of the storages 9a to 9e can be freely set as a single denomination storage. Moreover, it is free to set which of the storages 9a to 9e to the mixed storage.

  Further, in the setting shown in FIG. 3, any one of the second, third and fourth storages 9b, 9c, 9d set as storages of the same denomination is stored for the banknotes facing up. It is good also as a storehouse and another storehouse is good also as a storehouse only for a banknote facing backwards. If it carries out like this, when paying out 100 yuan banknotes at the time of withdrawal, it can be banded with the banding device 17 by aligning the front and back of the banknotes by paying out from the front banknote storage or the backside banknote storage. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a banknote bundle in which the front and back sides of the banknote are aligned.

In addition to storing banknotes separately face up and face down, changing the storage depending on the direction of the banknotes, or changing the storage depending on whether the banknotes are correct or not, It is possible to create a bundle of banknotes classified as good or bad. As a result, the usability of the banknote bundle to be dispensed is improved. That is, the storage can be divided according to the attribute of the banknote.
In the case where the storage is divided according to the bill attribute, instead of setting 100 yuan in steps S2, S3, and S4 in FIG. 6, for example, 100 yuan facing up in step S2, step S3. In step S4, 100 yuan facing down may be set. In step S4, 100 yuan facing down may be set. Alternatively, a 100 yuan correct ticket may be set in steps S2 and S3, and a 100 yuan lost ticket may be set in step S4. Alternatively, in steps S2 and S3, the banknote direction may be set to 100 yuan in the first direction, and in step S4, the banknote direction may be set to 100 yuan in the second direction.
