Then, the control part 105 will start the coin ring inflow guide process of a coin deposit process about the coin deposit / withdrawal apparatus part 11, and the banknote ring inflow guide process of a banknote deposit process about the banknote deposit / withdrawal apparatus part 12. Will start.

"Coin ring inflow guide processing"
The coins in the coin deposit port 15 are separated one by one by the belt conveyor 31 and a separation roller (not shown), fed to the deposit coin transport unit 27, and identified by the coin identification unit 44 while being transported by the deposit coin transport unit 27. Then, based on the identification result of the coin identifying unit 44, the rejected coin that has been identified abnormally is dropped from the reject hole 46 by the opening / closing reject unit 45 and is fed out to the coin reject port 16 to be rejected outside the machine.

  On the other hand, based on the identification result of the coin identifying unit 44, the received coin identified as a normal coin is moved as it is downstream of the deposited coin transport unit 27 by the open / close reject unit 45 in the closed state. As a result, the received coins are sorted by the corresponding ones of the sorting holes 53 to 58 and stored in the corresponding ones of the coin dispensing storage units 70 to 75. That is, if it is a 1-yen coin, it is stored in the coin dispensing storage unit 70 through the sorting hole 53, if it is a 50-yen coin, it is stored in the coin dispensing storage unit 71 through the sorting hole 54, and if it is a 5-yen coin, the sorting hole is stored. 55, the coins are stored in the coin dispensing storage unit 72. If the coins are 100 yen coins, the coins are stored in the coin dispensing storage unit 73 through the sorting hole 56, and if the coins are 10 yen coins, they are stored in the coin dispensing storage unit 74 through the sorting hole 57. If it is a 500-yen coin, it is stored in the coin dispensing storage unit 75 through the sorting hole 58. And the control part 105 memorize | stores temporarily the identification result of the coin identification part 44, ie, the count value for every money type, in RAM107.

  And the control part 105 is the state in which a coin is not detected by the coin identification part 44 more than predetermined time, even if the deposit coin feeding drive part 32 and the deposit coin conveyance drive part 39 are in a drive state during a coin ring inflow guide process. Then, it is determined that the coin ring inflow guide process for discharging all the coins inserted into the coin deposit port 15 and guiding them to any one of the coin dispensing units 70 to 75 and the coin reject port 16 is completed.

"Bill ring inflow guide processing"
The control unit 105 separates the banknotes in the banknote deposit port 121 one by one by the deposited banknote feeding unit 130, feeds them to the deposited banknote transport path 131, and identifies them by the banknote identifying unit 132. Then, based on the identification result of the banknote recognition unit 132, the abnormal banknote identified as an indistinguishable ticket or an abnormally transported ticket such as a multi-feed is sorted by the sorting unit 134 from the deposited banknote transport path 131 to the reject banknote transport path 135. Further, the sheet is fed out to the banknote dispensing port 122 via the banknote delivery path 136 by the sorting unit 154 and the sorting unit 157, so that it can be taken out of the machine.

  On the other hand, based on the identification result of the banknote identification unit 132, the sorting unit 134 guides the accepted banknote identified as a genuine note and a normal transport bill to the downstream side of the deposit bill transport path 131 as it is, and the stackers 138 to 140 correspond. Store in either one from the top. In other words, if it is a 10,000 yen ticket, it is sorted by the sorting unit 142 and stored in the stacker 138 from the branch bill conveyance path 143, and if it is a thousand yen ticket, it is sorted by the sorting unit 142 and the sorting unit 144, and the branch bill is conveyed. If it is stored in the stacker 139 from the path 145 and is a 5,000 yen ticket, it is sorted by the sorting unit 142 and the sorting unit 144 and stored in the stacker 140 via the deposited banknote transport path 131. Here, the control unit 105 temporarily stores in the RAM 107 the identification result of the banknote identification unit 132, that is, the count value of the banknote for each denomination.

  And the control part 105 will remove all the banknotes from the banknote deposit port 121, when the state in which a banknote is not detected by any of the banknote detection sensors 191-195,200,202 will be more than predetermined time during banknote ring inflow money guidance processing. It is determined that the banknote ring inflow money guide process of discharging and guiding it to any one of the stackers 138 to 140 and the banknote dispensing port 122 is completed.

  If it is determined that both the coin ring inflow guide process and the bill ring inflow guide process have been completed, the control unit 105 causes the guide display unit 109 to display the count result of the coin identification unit 44 in the coin ring inflow guide process in the current transaction. The count result of the bill discriminating unit 132 of the bill ring inflow guide processing in the current transaction is displayed, and a display for prompting the subsequent processing is performed. That is, it asks whether to perform a deposit cancellation process or a deposit confirmation process.

  When the operator inputs the selection operation of the payment confirmation process, which is an approval operation input, to the operation unit 108 in response to the question of whether to perform the payment cancellation process or the payment confirmation process, the control unit 105 The total amount of money deposited in one transaction, and the total amount of money deposited in the current transaction, including the deposit amount of coins by the coin ring inflow guide process and the deposit amount of banknotes by the bill ring inflow guide process. Compare.

  If the money deposit amount in the current transaction is equal to the voucher amount, the coin and banknote count values of the deposit process in the current transaction temporarily stored in the RAM 107 are fixed and stored. Then, the coin depositing process in the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus unit 11 and the banknote depositing process in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus unit 12 are finished.

  If the money deposit amount in the current transaction is larger than the slip amount, the coin and banknote count values for the deposit process in the current transaction temporarily stored in the RAM 107 are determined and stored. Of the coin dispensing process and the banknote dispensing process described later in order to finish the coin depositing process in the coin depositing / dispensing apparatus unit 11 and the banknote depositing process in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus unit 12, and to pay the difference as change. Do at least one.

In this way, abnormalities such as jams in the non-circular route that are possible even at the person-in-charge level are resolved.

[Withdrawal processing]
The control unit 105 includes a total money deposit amount of the deposit amount of the coins deposited by the coin deposit process and the deposit amount of the bills deposited by the bill deposit process in the current transaction, and the operation unit 108. First, calculate the total change amount by subtracting the total value of the slip amount from the total value of the deposit amount from the total value of the slip amount entered in, and then calculate the coin withdrawal amount and banknote withdrawal amount from the total change amount. A change amount is calculated, and at least one of a coin withdrawal process and a banknote withdrawal process is performed.

"Coin withdrawal processing"
The control unit 105 calculates a withdrawal pattern that configures the change amount corresponding to the coin withdrawal with the minimum number. Then, the coins are dispensed from the corresponding ones of the coin withdrawal storage units 70 to 75 while being counted by the withdrawal counting sensors 70A to 75A so that the coins are withdrawn with this withdrawal pattern, and the solenoids and the solenoids. 80 to 85 are fed to the chute 90 and guided to the coin dispensing port 17 by the sorting unit 92 in the closed state. Then, when it is detected by counting by the withdrawal counting sensors 70A to 75A that the change coin of this withdrawal pattern has been fed out to the coin dispensing slot 17, the control unit 105 counts in the current coin dispensing process. While storing the numerical value, it is determined that the coin dispensing process has been completed.

"Bill withdrawal process"
The control part 105 calculates the withdrawal pattern which comprises the change amount for a banknote withdrawal with the minimum number of sheets. The banknotes are fed from the corresponding ones of the stackers 139 and 140 while being counted by the banknote detection sensors 197 and 198 so that the banknotes are withdrawn with this withdrawal pattern, and the fed banknotes are fed by the withdrawal banknote feeding sections 139a and 140a. The paper is fed out to the corresponding ones of the paths 151 and 152, sorted by the sorting unit 154 and the sorting unit 157, and guided to the banknote dispensing port 122 by the withdrawal banknote transport path 136. In addition, if a conveyance abnormal banknote, such as multiple conveyance, is detected by the sensors 197 to 199 during the dispensing operation, the conveyance abnormal banknote is sorted by the sorting unit 157 and stored in the banknote reject box 159. Then, when it is detected by counting by the sensor 202 that the number of banknotes necessary for withdrawal has been paid out and stored in the banknote outlet 122, the control unit 105 calculates the count value in the current banknote withdrawal process. It memorize | stores and it determines with the banknote withdrawal process having been complete | finished.

[Sales proceeds storage processing]
When the sales confirmation operation input is input to the operation unit 108, the control unit 105 is reset when the previous coin storage 20 and the banknote storage 125 are recovered outside the machine, and thereafter, the deposit processing slips accumulated again. In addition to calculating the total amount of money (that is, sales), both the previous coin storage 20 and the bill storage 125 are collected outside the machine (at the time of replacement with the empty coin storage 20 and the bill storage 125). After the resetting, the counted coin height in the coin storage 20 and the bill height in the bill storage 125 are calculated. Then, an additional value between the coin deposit amount in the coin storage 20 and the bill deposit amount in the bill storage 125 is subtracted from the cumulative value of the slip amount to calculate a shortage amount. If there is a shortage amount, at least one of a coin replenishment process and a banknote replenishment process is performed to compensate for the shortage amount.

"Coin replenishment processing"
The control unit 105 calculates a replenishment pattern that configures the coin amount of the shortage amount with the minimum number. Then, the coins are dispensed from the corresponding ones of the coin dispensing storage units 70 to 75 while being counted by the dispensing counting sensors 70A to 75A so as to replenish the coins with this replenishment pattern. The chute unit 90 is fed out by 85 and guided to the coin temporary storage unit 18 by the distribution unit 92 in the open state. When it is detected by the counting of the withdrawal counting sensors 70 </ b> A to 75 </ b> A that the coins of the replenishment pattern have been fed to the temporary coin storage unit 18, the control unit 105 causes the wall slide unit 97 of the temporary coin storage unit 18 to By sliding the surrounding wall portion 95 toward the chute 99 and sliding the bottom plate 96 in the direction opposite to the chute 99 by the bottom plate slide portion 98, coins are stored in the coin storage 20 via the chute 99.

"Bill replenishment processing"
The control unit 105 calculates a replenishment pattern that configures a minimum number of banknotes out of the shortage amount. And so that banknotes are replenished with this replenishment pattern, banknotes are counted from banknote detection sensors 196 to 198, and banknotes from corresponding ones of the stackers 138 to 140 are withdrawn banknote feeding sections 138a to 140a. To the corresponding ones of ˜152, sorted by the sorting unit 154, and guided to the temporary banknote storage unit 124. In addition, if a conveyance abnormal banknote, such as multiple conveyance, is detected by the sensors 197 to 199 during the dispensing operation, the conveyance abnormal banknote is sorted by the sorting unit 157 and stored in the banknote reject box 159. When it is detected by counting by the sensors 196 to 200 that the denomination and number of banknotes necessary for withdrawal are fed out and stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 124, the control unit 105 uses the opening / closing slide unit 172 to control the banknotes. The banknote in the temporary storage unit 124 is placed on the flapper 182, the pusher elevating unit 174 lowers the pusher 173, and the pusher 173 stores the banknote in the banknote storage 125.

  With these coin replenishment processing and banknote replenishment processing, the amount of coin storage 20 and banknote storage 125 coincides with the cumulative value of the voucher amount, that is, the sales amount, and coin storage 20 and banknote storage 125 collect it. By doing so, the sales proceeds will be collected.

  According to the money processing system of the present embodiment described above, the control unit 105 selects the coin deposit route 53 to 58 from the presence information output from the time recorder 300 when the administrator is present. Then, the circulation route to be stored in the money-type coin withdrawal storage units 70 to 75 is set, and the banknote deposit route is set to the circulation route to be stored in the money-type stackers 138 to 140 via the sorting units 142 and 144. . On the other hand, when there is no manager present, the coin deposit route is set to a non-recirculation route that is stored in the coin temporary storage unit 18 of all denominations through the opening / closing sorting unit 50, and the banknote deposit route is assigned to the sorting unit. The non-recirculation route stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 124 of all denominations is set through 134. For this reason, in a situation where the manager is not present, the coin is temporarily transported to the coin temporary storage unit 18 and is transported by a non-recirculation route that stores the banknote in the banknote temporary storage unit 124. At that time, the control unit 105 temporarily stores the coins. The coins stored in the unit 18 and the banknotes stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 124 are stored in the coin storage 20 and the banknote storage 125 when an approval operation is input to the operation unit 108. Therefore, in the absence of the administrator, it is possible to return the deposited money as it is before returning the approval operation for the deposited money, avoiding troubles between the user and the administrator as much as possible. can do.

  When there is an administrator authority, that is, when there is a management key 307, the control unit 105, the first stage locking mechanism 305, and the second stage locking mechanism 306 release the drawer mechanism 302 up to the second stage and the opening / closing mechanism 309. By permitting the opening, it is possible to open the open / close sorting unit 50 that is also used as a non-circulation route, the sorting holes 53 to 58 dedicated to the circulation route, and the coin dispensing storage units 70 to 75. At the same time, the control unit 105, the lock mechanism 331, and the lock mechanism 336 allow the door unit 330 and the door unit 335 to be opened, so that the distribution units 134 and 154, which are also used as the non-recirculation route, The parts 142 and 144 and the money type stackers 138 to 140 can be opened. On the other hand, when there is no administrator authority, that is, when there is no management key 307, the control unit 105, the first stage lock mechanism 305, and the lock mechanism 312 permit the drawer mechanism 302 to open to the first stage and the drawer part 310 to open. This makes it possible to open the opening / closing sorting unit 50 and the coin temporary storage unit 18 of the non-recirculation route. At the same time, the control unit 105, the lock mechanism 331, and the lock mechanism 352 allow the door unit 330 and the banknote temporary storage unit 124 to be opened, so that the sorting units 134 and 154 and the banknote temporary storage unit 124 of the non-recirculation route are controlled. It can be opened. Accordingly, when an abnormality such as a jam occurs in the money handling machine 10 during one transaction in a situation where there is no administrator authority, only the non-reflux flow route, which is the deposit route for money deposited in this transaction, is opened to be accessible. In addition, the sorting holes 53 to 58 dedicated to the circulation route, the coin withdrawal storage units 70 to 75, the sorting units 142 and 144 dedicated to the circulation route, and the money-type stackers 138 to 150 accessible to the money deposited so far Access to and can be regulated. Therefore, even if the manager is absent, the money handling machine 10 can be recovered from the abnormality without causing any management problems.

  Further, if the control unit 105 determines that the deposit amount of the one transaction is larger than the slip amount when the manager is not present in the one transaction, the deposit amount of the one transaction, the coin storage 20 and When the added value of the bill storage 125 does not exceed the cumulative value of the slip amount including the slip amount of this one transaction, the coins stored in the coin temporary storage unit 18 are transferred to the coin storage 20 Since the banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit 124 are stored in the banknote storage 125, the total amount of the coin storage 20 and the banknote storage 125 does not exceed the slip amount, that is, the accumulated value of sales. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the amount of money exceeding the sales amount from the coin storage 20 or the bill storage 125 at the time of collecting the money outside the machine, which is safe in terms of management.

  Further, if the control unit 105 determines that the deposit amount of the one transaction is larger than the slip amount when the manager is not present in the one transaction, the deposit amount of the one transaction, the coin storage 20 and When the added value with the deposit amount of the bill storage 125 exceeds the cumulative value of the slip amount including the slip amount of this one transaction, the coins stored in the temporary coin storage unit 18 are returned to the return box 19. Since the banknotes stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 124 are returned so that the banknote temporary storage unit 124 can be pulled out, the amount of the coin storage 20 and the banknote storage 125 exceeds the accumulated value of the slip amount, that is, the sales proceeds. Disappears. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the amount of money exceeding the sales amount from the coin storage 20 and the bill storage 125 at the time of collecting the money outside the machine, which is safe in terms of management. In addition, by returning with the return box 19 and the banknote temporary storage unit 124, it becomes possible to perform other transactions thereafter. The returned money will be deposited via the circulation route if the manager is present.

  Further, the control unit 105 outputs the money corresponding to the money amount by subtracting the amount of the coin storage 20 and the bill storage 125 from the accumulated value of the slip amount when inputting the sales confirmation operation to the operation unit 108. If the coin storage 20 and the bill storage 125 are collected together with the coin storage 20 and the bill storage 125 from the gold storage units 70 to 75 and the stackers 138 to 140, the money machine can be recovered. The amount of sales can be recovered as it is when collected outside.

  In addition, since the time recorder 300 can communicate with a plurality of money handling machines 10, the time recorder 300 can be shared by a plurality of money handling machines 10 and the above processing based on the presence status of the manager can be performed. it can.

  Further, even when the presence information from the time recorder 300 is switched from presence of the administrator to absence of the administrator during one transaction, the control unit 105 does not store the money until the end of the one transaction. Since the deposit route is continuously set as the return route and the money receipt route is switched to the non-return route after the end of the transaction, the receipt route is not switched during the processing. Therefore, it is preferable in terms of management.

  In addition, even when the presence information from the time recorder 300 is switched from absence of the administrator to presence of the administrator during one transaction, the control unit 105 does not store the money until the end of the one transaction. Since the deposit route is continuously set to the non-return route and the money deposit route is switched to the return route after the end of the transaction, the deposit route is not switched during the processing. Therefore, it is preferable in terms of management.

  Moreover, since the alerting | reporting part 341 provided in the time recorder 300 alert | reports to the administrator that the money processor 10 is in transaction, it can avoid the situation where an administrator is absent during the money processor 10 being in transaction. It becomes. In other words, if the administrator is absent while the user is trading with the money handling machine 10, the money handling machine 10 operates on the deposit route in the circulation mode only for this transaction. So, although it is a rare case, if the user cancels the transaction and returns cash during the transaction, or if an abnormality occurs, a problem will occur, but the administrator will When there is no presence from being present, such a concern is eliminated by notifying that there is a money handling machine 10 under transaction. If the money handling machine 10 is not currently trading when the administrator performs an operation that is absent from the time recorder 300, the notification unit 341 notifies that fact, so the administrator may be absent with peace of mind. it can.

  In the embodiment described above, the banknote depositing / dispensing device unit 12 has the stackers 138 to 140 of three denominations for convenience, but the number is not limited to three. In addition, banknotes that are denominated for the stackers 138 to 140 of denominations, that is, 10,000 yen tickets, 5,000 yen tickets, and 1,000 yen tickets are present when the administrator is present and the money deposit route is set as the circulation route. Explained that these banknotes to be circulated are stored from above in any of the corresponding stackers 138 to 140 during the deposit process, but not limited to this, any of the stackers 138 to 140 is full. The overflowed 10,000 yen ticket, 5,000 yen ticket, and thousand yen ticket that are generated and cannot be stored any more may be guided to the banknote temporary storage unit 124 for storage. Similarly, banknotes that are not to be circulated, that is, 2,000 yen, may be guided to the banknote temporary storage unit 124 and stored. In other words, when the administrator is present and the money deposit route is set to the recirculation route, the storage location and storage location of these banknotes are not limited to the above-described explanation, and at least the recirculation target It is only necessary to control so that 2,000 tickets, which are other denominations, are not led to any of the denomination stackers 138 to 140 to be circulated but led to the banknote temporary storage unit 124 and stored. On the other hand, if the money deposit route is set to a non-return route without the presence of an administrator, not only 2,000 tickets that are not eligible for recirculation but also 10,000 yen, 5 It is only necessary to control so that all banknotes including a thousand yen ticket and a thousand yen ticket are not only one of the denomination stackers 138 to 140 to be circulated, but only led to the banknote temporary storage unit 124 to be stored. become.
