Thus, the paper moneys which are not used for the transaction of the incoming and outgoing money can be surely calculated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention provides a method for storing a memo into a safe that stores a large number of banknotes (money). The present invention relates to an automatic transaction device that strictly controls banknotes.

(Prior Art) In financial institutions such as banks, a large number of automatic transaction devices capable of depositing and withdrawing cash using so-called magnetic cards (recording media) are installed at each branch. Conventional automated teller machines, for example, take out the withdrawal amount input by the customer at the time of withdrawal transaction from the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit and discharge it to the customer.

When the above-mentioned withdrawal transaction is performed and the banknotes stored in the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit run out, the clerk carries the banknotes from the banknote sorting machine that stores the banknotes and replenishes the banknotes in the safe. When banknotes are replenished, the automatic transaction device resumes deposit and withdrawal transactions. In addition, in recent years, there has been an increase in so-called unmanned operation in which automated teller machines are operated when banks are closed, and the operating hours of machines at bank service gates have been extended. With the above-mentioned unmanned operation, there are more opportunities to replenish banknotes in the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit of the automatic transaction device.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional devices are difficult to manage banknotes because if there are no banknotes in the safe of the deposit/withdrawal unit, the staff will replenish the banknotes, which may be caused by a defective accident, etc. In the future, with the promotion of unmanned operation of automated teller machines and the extension of operating hours, there will be more opportunities to replenish banknotes into safes, so controls on banknotes refilled into safes will be tightened. There was a demand, and a solution was desperately needed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the invention is to provide an automatic transaction device that strictly controls banknotes for replenishing a safe with banknotes for deposit and withdrawal transactions.

[Structure of the Invention J (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the L2 objective, the first means of the invention is to provide a safe that stores a large number of coins, and a safe that stores the coins in the safe. A memory for storing the number of coins used in deposit/withdrawal transactions and remaining in the safe after the transaction is completed; and a memory for storing all the coins remaining in the safe after the transaction is completed, and a memory for storing the loaded coins. an accumulating means for accumulating the number of coins, and an arithmetic means for calculating the difference between the number of coins accumulated by the accumulating means and the number of coins remaining in the safe stored in the memory; The number of coins stored in each of the deposit and withdrawal safes that store gold coins and the loading safe that stores coins for loading and scrutinized coins is calculated. First thing to remember
storage means, which is provided in each of the deposit/withdrawal safe J3 and the loading safe as well as the first storage means, and stores the number of coins stored in the deposit/withdrawal safe J3 and the loading safe. a second storage means; a money verification means for verifying the number of coins stored in the second storage means and the number of coins stored in the first storage means; a third means; , a safe for storing a large number of coins, a memory for storing whether or not coins have been loaded into the safe by a loading unit, and the safe is attached to an automatic transaction device main body for processing deposits and withdrawals. a fourth means for reading the memory and determining whether or not the safe has been loaded with coins by the loading section; a first detection means for detecting the presence or absence of money; and when the first detection means detects the presence of money in the safe, the money stored in the safe is loaded into a stacking section that temporarily accumulates the money. a loading accumulating means for accumulating the amount of coins to be loaded; a second detecting means for detecting the presence or absence of coins stored in the safe after loading by the loading accumulating means;
The main point is to have the following.

(Function) In an automatic transaction device having the above configuration, the number of coins used in the deposit/withdrawal transaction stored in the memory and remaining in the safe after the transaction is completed, and the number of coins remaining in the safe after the transaction is completed. Since all of the coins are loaded into the accumulating section and the difference between the loaded coins and the accumulated number of coins is calculated, it is possible to reliably accumulate coins that cannot be traded.

The number of coins set in each of the deposit/withdrawal safe that stores money for deposit/withdrawal and the loading safe that stores coins for loading and scrutinized coins, and the number of coins stored in each of the deposit/withdrawal safe and loading safe. Since the number of coins stored in the first storage means for storing the number of coins is compared with the second storage means for storing the number of coins stored in each of the deposit/withdrawal safe and the loading safe, the number of coins stored in The reliability of the number of coins held can be improved.

It is possible to memorize whether or not a safe that stores a large number of coins has been loaded with coins by the loading unit, and when the safe is attached to an automatic transaction device main body that processes deposits and withdrawals, the safe is loaded by the loading unit. Since it is determined whether or not money has been loaded, the management of the safe can be improved.

The presence or absence of coins stored in a safe that stores a large number of coins is detected, and when the presence of coins in the safe is detected, the coins stored in the safe are stored in a storage section that temporarily accumulates the coins. Loading section. Since the presence or absence of coins stored in the safe is detected after loading, the empty state of the safe can be reliably determined. .

E, which will be described later, stores the type and number of banknotes stored in each of the safes 18 and 19.
EPROMs 79a to 79c (memory) are installed. EEPROM95a installed in ten thousand yen piece 16 etc.
The safe memory control unit 91 connected to ~95c stores 16,000 yen pieces, 1,000 yen pieces 17. This detects the type and number of banknotes stored in the deposit box 18 and the loading box 19. A control unit 92 connected to the safe memory control unit 91 receives a detection signal of a damaged note of a banknote input from the inspection unit 36 or the like and stores the ten thousand yen pieces 16 etc. input from the safe memory control unit 91. A drive signal is output to the drive circuit 93 based on a signal indicating the number of banknotes being held. The drive circuit 93 controls the removal of banknotes from the 10,000 yen bill 16 and the like and the drive of the conveyance path based on a drive signal input from the control unit 92 .

Each safe cassette 7 from the ten thousand yen piece 16 to the loading storage 19
The configuration of No. 2 is shown in FIG. 5(a). The above safe cassette 72
The main body 73 of the safe has a rectangular shape, and a lid 74 is provided on one side of the rectangular body so that it can be opened and closed about a take-out roller shaft 75. An auto-lock 76 for controlling opening and closing of M74 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the main body 73, and a hole 7 that fits into a lock plate 80 is provided at the center of the auto-lock 76.
7 is provided. Also, on the side of the main body 73, each 7
A reed switch 78 is provided which detects removal or insertion of the safe cassette 72 from the deposit/withdrawal unit 12 by the magnetic force of the magnet 80 of No. 4. A locking mechanism 79 for controlling opening and closing of the lid 74 is provided at the lower center end of the lid 74, and a locking plate 80 that fits into the hole 77 is provided on the locking mechanism 79. When the lock plate 80 can be unlocked, it is rotated by an external key 81 to close the lid 74.

The control of the safe cassette 72 of each safe mentioned above is shown in FIG.
> Shown below.

When M74 cannot be opened or closed in the normal state of the safe cassette 72, the hook 82 engages with the groove of the lock plate 80, and the lock plate 80 does not rotate even if the key 81 is inserted into the lock body and rotated. do not. lock plate 8
2 does not rotate, the lid 74 is opened by operating the key 81.
I can't open it.

On the other hand, when the lock can be released, a pulse is applied to the solenoid 86 by the D-lock control section 87 connected to the control sections 97a and 97b of the safe, and the plunger 85 is sucked. This solenoid 86 is a self-holding solenoid containing a permanent magnet, and maintains this state when it is reversely attracted. After the pulse is applied, the lower end of the knock 82 is driven in the direction of the arrow by the lock plate 80, the hook 82 is separated from the lock plate 80, and the lock plate 80 can be operated in the opening direction by the key 81, allowing the lid 74 to be opened.

Furthermore, when the lock cannot be released, a pulse is applied to the solenoid 86 by the lock control section 87. When the pulse is applied, the plunger 85 returns, and the hook 82 is driven toward the solenoid 86 and fitted into the groove of the lock plate 80 by the support of the hook spring 89. When the hook 82 fits into the groove of the lock plate 80, the lock plate 80 cannot be rotated by operating the key 81, and the lid 74 cannot be opened.

In order to detect the drive of the hook 82, an optical sensor 88 is installed at the upper part #ii of the hook 80 and has a U-shape and detects the member of the hook 82 in the U-shape. This optical sensor 88 has a light emitting element provided at one end of the U-shaped member and a light receiving element provided at the other end, and when the light emitted from the light emitting element is blocked by the hook 82 member, The control unit 97 of the safe determines that and sends a detection signal as described below.
8.97b.

Note that the link spring 9o is a spring for assisting the return of the plunger 85.

Further, for example, a magnetic indicator 114 is provided at the upper part of the lock plate 82 in the figure to indicate whether or not the safe cassette 72 has been replenished with banknotes A by a banknote sorting machine 100, which will be described later.

Here, regarding the magnetic display 114, the fifth
This will be explained using figures (C) and (d). The magnetic display 114 is made up of an electromagnetic core (pole) 115, a coil 116 wound around the electromagnetic core 115, and a permanent magnet rotatably provided between the magnetic pole portions at both ends of the electromagnetic core 115, one side of which is colored. The display disk 117 includes a surface C1 and a display disk 117 whose other surface is a black surface B. Then, the set pulse causes current to flow in the coil 116 in the positive direction, causing the electromagnet core 115 to move toward the display disk 117.
The display disk 117 is magnetized so as to have the color surface C, and the residual magnetism remaining in the electromagnetic core 115 fixes the display disk 117 in the state of the color surface C (the state shown in FIG. 5(C)). In addition, the reset pulse causes current to flow in the opposite direction to the coil 116, reversing the polarity of the electromagnet core 115, and causing the display disk 117
is reversed so that it becomes a black surface B, and is fixed by the residual magnetism remaining in the electromagnet core 115 (the state shown in FIG. 5(d)).

In this manner, by changing the polarity of the electromagnetic core 115, the display disk 117 is inverted and self-held in a position where the color surface C1 and the black surface B are displayed.

When the magnetic display 114 having the above configuration is on the black side B (FIG. 5(d)), the safe cassette bill sorting machine 1
00 indicates that banknotes A have not been replenished, while color side C (FIG. 5) (C)) indicates that the safe cassette has been replenished with banknotes A by banknote arrangement 111100. .

The control of each safe such as the million yen box 16 described above is shown in FIG. 6(a).
This will be explained using the block diagram shown in (b). Figure 6 (a
) is equipped with an EEPROM95 which is an electrically erasable non-volatile memory as a storage element, as shown in Fig. 6(b).
The device is equipped with a battery 94 as a power source.

First, the safe cullet 72 of the type shown in FIG. 6<a) includes, in addition to the EEPROM 95, a control section 97a and an interface section 98a.

The EEPROM 95 stores the type and number of banknotes stored in the safe at a predetermined address. Further, even if the EEPROM 95 is powered off, the data stored in the address will not be erased. Further EEP
The ROM 95 has a flag indicating "0" if the safe cassette 72 can be traded, and "1" if the safe cassette 72 cannot be traded. The control unit 97a is an EEPROM
An address is specified from the address line 95, and a read line or a write line is specified to the specified address from the data line to read or write data. The interface section 98a controls data transmission between the control section 97a and the control section 92, etc., and transmits data by serial-parallel conversion using start-stop synchronization.

As shown in FIG. 6(b), a poly-type safe cassette 72 is provided with a power supply section 94 for supplying power to a control section 97b and the like in the main body of the safe. By having this power supply section 94, the control section 97b can transfer the detection signal from the optical sensor 88 that detects the opening and closing of the lids 74 of the safes 16 to 19 to the EEPROM 95a.
, 95b. When the number of stored detection signals exceeds the allowable value, the control unit 97b controls the safes 16 to 1.
9, M74 is determined to be defective, and the banknote sorting machine 100 will be described later.
When the banknotes such as hl are loaded, the failure of the lid 74 is indicated by, for example, a warning light.

The EEPROM that stores information such as the detection of opening/closing of [74] and the currency for deposit/withdrawal transactions is an EEPROM that stores the same information as the EEPROM 95a for backup purposes.
Equipped with M95b. As a result, the information stored in the EEPR○M95a and 95b can be reliably retained even if a power outage occurs, and furthermore, the reliability of the information can be improved by constantly comparing it with the information in the backup EEPROM95b. can be improved. A light emitting diode (LED 99a) is used for transmitting the main safe cassette 72, and a photodiode 99b is used for receiving the main safe cassette 72 through the interface section 98b.The main safe cassette 72 is also equipped with a solar cell 99c so that it does not rely on an external power source. Since it can be replenished, maintenance costs, etc. can be saved.

The safe cassette 72 having the above configuration is able to store the desired number of banknotes by loading the safe into the banknote sorting machine 100 even when there are no banknotes in the safe and replenishing the banknotes from the banknote sorting machine 100. By setting it to 12, banknotes can be replenished. As a result, banknotes can be replenished without having to touch the clerk's hands as in the past, so the banknotes to be replenished into the safe can be strictly managed.

Figure 6 (C) shows EEPROM95a, 95b (7)
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a table of safe numbers, equipment numbers, etc. stored at predetermined addresses. This daple stores the number of the automatic transaction device 1 when the safe cassette 72 is attached to the automatic transaction device 1, and the number of the banknote sorting machine 100 when the safe cassette 72 is attached to the bill sorting machine 100, which will be described later. . Based on the number of the automatic transaction device 1 or the like, it can be determined whether the safe cassette 72 installed has passed through the banknote sorting machine 100 or not. This can prevent the safe cassette 72 removed from another automatic transaction device 1 from being installed.

Next, FIG. 7 shows the configuration of a banknote sorting machine 100 that replenishes banknotes into the JR warehouse 19 and the like. The above banknote sorting machine 100
The apparatus has a counting unit 101 and a storage unit 102 for replenishing banknotes into a loading warehouse 19 and the like. The counting unit 101 has an ID card insertion slot 1 on the front of the unit into which a 10 card storing an operator number etc. is inserted.
03 is provided. In addition, the counting unit 101 has an ID
A hopper 104 is provided below the card insertion slot 103 to input banknotes A to replenish the loading warehouse 19W. An inspection section 105 is provided in a unit behind the hopper 104 to determine the type of banknotes A sequentially taken out from the hopper 104 and to count the number of banknotes. A reject banknote accumulating unit 106 is provided above the unit of the inspection unit 105 to accumulate rejected banknotes that are inspected by the inspection unit 105 as reject bills. Adjacent to this reject note accumulation section 106, there is provided an unfit note accumulation section (open pocket) 107 for accumulating unfit notes that have been inspected as unfit by the inspection section 105.

On the other hand, banknotes A that have been inspected as genuine by the inspection section 105 are transferred from the inspection section 105 to the storage unit 102 via the conveyance path R12.
The device I is conveyed vertically to the storage unit 102, and is conveyed horizontally from near the center of the storage unit 102 and set in advance.
It is stored in 4 compartments 19.

The number of banknotes A stored in the loading warehouse 19 from the hopper 104 is totaled by the inspection unit 105, and the EEPR of the loading warehouse 19 is
It is written to a predetermined address in OM95.

As a modification of the deposit/withdrawal units 1 to 12 described above, the ten thousand yen piece 16 of the lower unit 14b. FIG. 8 shows a configuration in which the 1,000 yen cashier 17 is provided with two-value ZECT tickets and ZECT storage sections 20a and 20b.

For example, at the time of a withdrawal transaction, a ten thousand yen note taken out from the ten thousand yen bank 16 is conveyed by a conveyance path to an inspection section 36 that determines the type of banknote and counts the number of banknotes. Inspection Department 3
If the 10,000 yen note transported to 6 is a rejected note, the inspection department 36
transports the rejected ticket to 16,000 yen outside through the transport path. The transported 10,000 yen note is removed by the take-out roller 304a to the reject note storage section 20 provided at the lower end of the 10,000 yen outer 16.
It is stored in b. Further, when the thousand yen note taken out from the thousand yen storage 17 is a rejected note, it is similarly stored in the thousand yen note reject section 21b.

Thereby, the withdrawal performance of the safe can be managed by storing in the EEPROM 95 the number of JECT tickets taken out from the 10,000 yen store, etc.

Next, referring to FIG. 9, the attachment of the deposit/withdrawal unit 12 to the housing 2 will be explained.

The unit 14a and the lower unit 14b are fixed and held on the inside of the housing 2 and the inner wall 2C of the housing by a slide rail a and a slide rail b, respectively. A gap d is maintained between the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 14b. The roller 110 is
It is attached to the lower surface of the upper unit 14a, and
It is provided so as to maintain the gap d and roll into contact with the upper surface of the lower unit 14b, so that the gap d does not become small. The upper and lower connecting gear G transmits the power of the drive motor provided in the lower unit 14b to the upper unit 14a to drive the conveyance system.

In this way, the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 1
4b is held by a slide rail b, so that it can be pulled out to the front or rear of the housing 2 as needed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, the casing 2 has a door section 2a and an operation section 3 at the front, and a door section 2b at the rear, which can be opened and closed. The above unit can be pulled out forward or backward. Also, when the unit is pulled out forward or backward, the above-mentioned upper and lower connecting gear G is attached to the lower unit 14b in the case of the front, and to the unit 14a in the case of the rear. Let's do it like this.

Next, the case where the unit is pulled out rearward and operated will be described using FIGS. 10 to 12.

In the rear operation, the upper and lower connecting gears G are connected to the upper unit 14a.
Since the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 14b are pulled out at the same time (Fig. 10),
It is also possible to pull out only the lower unit 14b (FIG. 11). As in the case of front operation, the loading storage 19 can be opened upward by opening the loading transport section R8a with the upper unit 14a and lower unit 14b pulled out, and the loading storage 19 can be extended upward.

In FIG. 11, only the lower unit 14b is pulled out to the rear, the lower conveyance path 48 rotates and opens, and the ten thousand yen piece 16.
The thousand yen deposit box 17 and deposit box 18 can each be pulled out upward.

In addition, for rear operation, pull out the upper unit and
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, with the upper unit 14a and the lower unit 14b housed in the housing 2, the loading box 19 and the deposit box 18 can be pulled out to the rear. That is, by flipping up the rear end R8b of the loading conveyance section, the loading storage 19 can be pulled out rearward using the handle 111. Similarly, for the deposit box 18, the rear end 48b of the lower transport section 48 is flipped upward, and the handle 1 is lifted up.
11 allows the deposit box 18 to be pulled out rearward.

Next, the operation of the residual check will be described.

First, during standby, as shown in FIG. 14(a), the flappers 315, 315 are held in a closed state protruding into the storage section 20, and the banknotes △ accumulated on the lower side of these flappers 315, 315 is placed, and this banknote A is elastically pressed by a backup 310 from below. Therefore, when stacking banknotes A, the stacking roller 302
Then, the banknotes A are sequentially taken into the storage section 20 by the tapping wheel 303 and temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage section 310a in the space above the flappers 315 and 315 [Fig.
b)]. When the loading of banknotes A is completed, the push plate 309
is lowered, and the banknote A in the storage section 301a is moved to the flapper 31.
5. It is pushed up together with 315 and moves to the specified storage position [Fig. 14 (C)]. After this, the flappers 315 and 315 are closed by turning on the solenoid [14th
(d)], and the push plate 309 rises and returns to the waiting position, whereby the banknotes A are retained by the seven flaps 315 and 315 and held in a stacked state below them [Fig. 14 (d)]. e)]. Note that the push plate 309 is a flapper 315.3.
15, and can move up and down regardless of the arrangement of the flappers 315, 315. In this way, the accumulation and storage of banknotes A in the storage section 20 is completed, but as shown in FIG.
When the residual detection sensor 316 detects that the banknote A remains with respect to 01a, that is, when the residual detection sensor 316 indicates that the banknote A is empty, the above-mentioned accumulation/storage process is performed.
The culm is repeated again.

On the other hand, when taking out a banknote A, the push plate 309 is lowered from the standby state shown in FIG.
09 is correct [Figure 15(b)]. After this, push plate 30
9 rises together with the banknote A pressed upward by the backup 310 and returns to the standby position, and the banknote A contacts the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [FIG. 15(C)]. In this state, the take-out roller 304
and the take-out roller 3 by the operation of the feed roller 305.
The banknotes A are sequentially taken out through the rubber surface 304a of 04,
When the predetermined number of bills have been taken out, a signal from the take-in timing detection switch 323 causes the rubber surface 304a to
The take-out roller 304 is held in a position where it does not come out onto the conveyance path surface and does not connect to the banknotes A remaining in the storage section 301.
stops [Fig. 15(d)].

By the way, since the bill A is taken out only when the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 comes into contact with the bill A, the leading edges of the bills A other than the bill A that is being taken out are in the storage section 3.
01 should have stopped at the removal side floor 301A, but since the gate rollers 306 are used to align and take out a large number of bills A,
Normally, the leading edge of the banknote A is guided to the position of the gate roller 306, or the timing of take-out is shifted for some reason, and the leading edge of the banknote A is guided to the position of the gate roller 306.
It may even reach the 07 position.

However, when banknotes A are stored in a stack, the method shown in Fig. 14 (
As shown in C), the flapper 3 moves the banknotes in the storage section 20.
15.315 and push it under the flapper 315.31.
Since the time storage section 301a serving as the accumulation section must be formed above the retrieval side floor 301 as described above,
Banknote A whose tip edge protrudes from A (hereinafter referred to as Choro-issued bill A)
If there is a LL), the leading edge of the ``chohitsu ticket'' may break when it is pressed by the push plate 309, making it impossible to take it out. It is necessary to pull it back to a position where it is flush with the removal side floor 301A.

Therefore, when the banknotes A are taken out one by one and a predetermined number of sheets have been taken out, if the leading edge of the banknote A protrudes to the pickup roller 307, the removal detection sensor 317 detects this and Based on the detection, the banknote is taken out as a banknote and stored in a reject storage.

When the leading edge of the banknote A protrudes from the gate roller 306 (toward the gradual issuing of the bill), in other words, when the take-out detection sensor 317 is bright, the banknote A is first lowered through the push plate 309, and the bill is gradually dispensed. A/l is pulled back from the gate roller 306 [FIG. 16(a)], and further the A/l and the backup 31 are
The banknotes Δ accumulated on 'I/1-10 are pressed by the pushing plate 309 and moved downward together with the backup 310.

Then, when it moves to a certain position, 111 brake 3
11, and in this state, only the pushing plate 309 is raised and returned to the standby position [FIG. 16(b)].

Accordingly, the banknote A on the backup 310 has a tar.
The pressing force is released, and then, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned off to raise the backup 310 [FIG. 16(C)]. At this time, since the pressure on the banknotes on the backup 310 has been released, the Choro issued bills ALL located at the top layer (A) are freely moved and aligned by friction with the withdrawal side floor 301A.

Here, the push plate 309 is lowered again to push the banknote A downward, and the residual detection sensor 316 detects the residual banknote A in the upper space. Since the alignment of the ticket issue is insufficient, the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned on to fix the backup 310, the push plate 309 is returned to the standby position, and then the electromagnetic brake 311 is turned to the A position to back up. Repeat the above-mentioned alignment operation of raising 310 again, and if the residual detection sensor 316 is bright, it means that the alignment of the Chiyo-Hichu ticket ALL is complete, and the push plate 309 is raised.
After pushing the banknote A downward, the flappers 315 and 315 are closed via the solenoid, and the banknote A is held below the flappers 315 and 315 [Fig. 16(d)
].

On the other hand, when taking out banknotes A, if all the banknotes A in the storage section 20 are taken out, as shown in FIG. 13(a),
The takeout detection sensor 317 becomes bright for a certain period of time, and in response, the empty detection sensor 320 becomes "1 on" state,
The backup 310 is pressed by the pushing plate 309 and lowers together with the pushing plate 309 [FIG. 13(b)]. When the backup 310 passes through the arrangement of the seven flappers 315 and 315, these flappers 315 and 315 are closed by turning on the solenoid, and these flappers 31
5.315 locks the backup 310, and the push plate 309 rises and returns to the standby position [Fig. 13
C)].

At this time, the sky is detected and the emitted light from the sensor 320 is transmitted through the transmission hole 309a.
, 309b, but since this emitted light is oriented obliquely to the moving (lowering) direction of the pushing plate 309 and the backup 310, the output light changes relative to the moving (lowering) direction of the pushing plate 309 and the backup 310. The emitted light passes through the transmission hole 309a.

The state shifts from one end side to the other end side of the backup 310a in sequence, and therefore, it becomes possible to perform empty detection over a wide area S on the top surface of the backup 310, and therefore, the backup 310a
Even if a banknote Δ such as a folded ticket or a bond ticket remains on top of the banknote 10, it can be accurately detected without missing it [Fig. 17 1] Next, the operation of this embodiment is shown in Fig. (a
) to (h) will now be described.

First, after power is turned on to the device, trading operations are started. After the start of work, if the clerk loads banknotes from the operator operation panel provided on the back side of the machine, subroutine 100 is executed.
If the payment is to proceed to subroutine 200, which checks whether the safe cassette 72 is empty with no bills in it.
Proceed to. If the clerk is checking whether there is money in the safe cassette 72, the process goes to subroutine 300;
If the brightness process is to check the number of rejected sheets stored in the safe cassette 72, the process advances to subroutine 400. Furthermore,
The staff member uses the operator operation panel to proceed to subroutine 500 if the safe cassette 72 set in the deposit/withdrawal unit 12 is to be replaced, to subroutine 600 if the safe cassette is removed, and to subroutine 7 if the safe is installed.
00 (steps 10-70).

When proceeding to the loading process of loading banknotes from the banknote sorting machine 100 into the safe cassette 72, the clerk inserts the ID card from the ID card slot 103. After inserting, the staff member will insert safe cassette 7.
2. For example, set the loading storage 19 in the storage unit 102. After setting, the control section (not shown) of the device controls the EEP
If the flag is zero by referring to the flag in the ROM 95, a warning light will be displayed for example to warn you. 72 is empty, a warning is issued.On the other hand, if the above flag is zero and the set loading storage 1
If the banknote 9 is empty and there is a failure to take out the banknotes, a warning as shown in -E will be issued and the process will be terminated. (Steps 100-135).

After loading, the staff member presses the start key to start the hopper 104.
The banknotes are taken out and conveyed to the inspection section 105. The inspection unit 105 inspects the front and back sides of the banknotes and determines the denomination, then counts the number of genuine banknotes and conveys them to the conveyance path R12. The transported banknotes are accumulated in the banknote storage section 23 of the loading warehouse 19 via the transport path R12. If the accumulated number reaches the storage number, the bills are stored in the banknote storage section 23. on the other hand,
If the stored number has not reached 100 bills, the bills are stored in the bill storage section 23 when 100 bills are accumulated. After storage, the stored number of sheets is stored in the EPROM 95 of the loading warehouse 19, and the process ends (steps 140 to 175).

When proceeding to the processing of the stick, the staff member inserts the ID card from the ID card slot 103. After inserting, the staff member will insert safe cassette 7.
2. For example, set the loading m1i9 in the storage unit 102. After the cellar 1, the control section (not shown) of the device reads information from the EEPROM 95 of the set storage 19 and issues an announcement if the set safe cassette 72 is not empty.

On the other hand, if the set loading storage 19 is empty and the safe has been removed incorrectly, the above-mentioned warning is given and the process is terminated.

The control section (not shown) issues a warning if the flag in the EEPROM 95 is not zero; on the other hand, if the flag is zero, the process proceeds to step 230 (steps 200 to 225).

When the process proceeds to step 230, the clerk presses the start key, and the banknote is taken out from the safe (loading box 19) and sent to the inspection section 105.
transported to. After inspecting the front and back sides of the banknotes and determining the denomination, the inspection unit 105 counts the number of genuine banknotes and passes them along the conveyance path R.
12. The transported banknotes are accumulated in an oven pocket (unfit banknote accumulation section) 107 by the conveyance path R12. When the safe is emptied due to accumulation, the process proceeds to step 270;
If the safe is not empty and there are 100 or more bills left, withdrawal is temporarily stopped. -On the other hand, if there are less than 100 banknotes A, or if banknote A is removed, step 235
Return to step 230 to take out banknote A (steps 230 to 26).
5).

Proceeding to step 270, the control unit (not shown) prints the counting results in a journal. After printing, the control unit 97a of the loading box 19 (safe cassette 72) clears (zero) the flag in the EEPROM 95 (steps 270 to 275).

When proceeding to process the remaining Chenik, the EE of safe cassette 72
When the number of banknotes is stored in the PROM 95, a residual check of the banknote A in the temporary storage section 301a is performed by the residual detection sensor 316, and if the residual detection lens 'J316 is bright, the process ends.

On the other hand, if the residual detection sensor 316 is dark, the process proceeds to step 320. (Steps 300-310).

When the process proceeds to step 320, bills are sequentially taken out one by one from the safe cassette 72, for example, the 10,000 yen safe 16. The taken-out banknotes are conveyed via the take-in conveyance path R, and the number of bills is counted by the banknote passage detector 40a. The counted banknotes are conveyed to the inspection section 36, the front and back sides of the banknotes are discriminated, and the banknotes are accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation section 37 via the first gate 39a and the third gate 39G. After being accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 37, if the residual detection sensor 316 detects the banknote A, the process returns to step 320, and if it is not detected, the process proceeds to step 35.
0 (steps 320-340).

Proceeding to step 350, the control unit 92 stops taking out the money from the ten thousand yen store 16 and returns the banknotes A accumulated in the withdrawal time accumulation section 37 to the ten thousand yen store 16. After returning the banknotes A to the 10,000 yen storage 16, the main control unit 51 stores the number of 10,000 yen bills in the RAM 53 at a predetermined address (steps 350 to 370).
.

Proceeding to the bright light process, the control unit 92 takes out ten thousand yen bills from the ten thousand yen store 16, counts the number of bills using the banknote detector 40s, and then stacks them in the loading store 19 after the inspection unit 36 determines whether they have been kept. After stacking, if the 10,000 yen pressure 1G is empty, the control unit 92 stores the banknotes A stacked in the loading warehouse 19 in the banknote storage unit 23.

On the other hand, if the 10,000 yen press 16 is not empty, up to 100 100,000 yen bills are taken out and stored in the loading warehouse 19. After storage, control unit 9
2, if the 10,000 yen pressure 16 is empty, proceed to step 440, and if the 10,000 yen pressure 19 is not empty, return to step 400 (
Steps 400-435).

Proceeding to step 440, the control unit 92 takes out ten thousand yen bills one by one from the loading warehouse 19 using the take-out roller 304d, and forces the bill detector to "sint" the number of bills. After counting,
The control unit 92 transports the taken out ten thousand yen note to the inspection unit 36, and the inspection unit 36 determines the type of the note, etc. When the inspection is completed, the ten thousand yen bills are accumulated in the ten thousand yen bill storage section 20a with a ten thousand yen pressure of 16 by the conveyance path (steps 440 to 455).

When the above-mentioned loading is performed, the control unit 92 stores ten thousand yen bills in the ten thousand yen press 16 when the loading warehouse 19 is empty, and continues loading up to 100 ten thousand yen bills unless the loading chamber 19 is empty. 100
When the loading of the 10,000 yen note is completed, the control section 92 stores the 10,000 yen note in the 10,000 yen press 16. Loading compartment 1 after storing banknotes in 10,000 yen pressure 16
If 9 is empty, the process advances to step 480, and if it is not empty, the process returns to step 440 to continue loading (step 460).
~475).

Proceeding to step 480, the control unit 92 controls the safe cassette 7.
EEPROM95 of 2, 10,000 yen pressure after deposit/withdrawal transaction is completed
Read the number of storage layers in 6. The difference between the number of read 10,000 yen bills and the 10,000 yen pressure 16 and the brightness result of the loading storage 19 is calculated, and the calculated difference is the number of rejected bills. The main control section 51 stores the ten thousand yen note and the number of rejected bills in the RAM 53 and then transmits it to the host computer via the transmission control section 65. (480-49o).

When proceeding to replace the safe, the control unit 92 controls the E of the set safe if the safe is pulled out and set in response to a detection signal from the reed switch 78 after stopping the loading operation.
The type and number of banknotes stored in the EPROM 95 are read (steps 500 to 530). When the reading is completed, the control unit 97a reads the stored banknotes from the EFPROM 95.
If the flag of a is zero, the process ends, and if the flag is not zero, an error is displayed and a warning is issued (540-550).

When proceeding to extraction from the safe, the control unit 92 stops the operation when a extraction instruction signal is input from the main control unit 51. After the operation is stopped, the control section 92 performs the aforementioned residual check (steps 300-370) and brightening process (steps 400-490) on the set safe. After the process is completed, the control unit 92 stores information in the memory (EEPROM 95) of the set safe, and then the safe cassette 72 is removed (steps 600 to 650).

When proceeding to loading the safe, the control section 92 stops the operation when a loading instruction signal is input from the main control section 51. When the safe cassette 72 is installed, the memory of the installed safe (E
Information such as the number of banknotes stored in the safe is read from the EPROM 95). When the reading is completed, the control unit 92a
If the flag in EEPROM95a is zero, the process ends, and if the flag is not zero, an error is displayed and mW fa
-Jo Ru (7/10-750).

As explained above, since the residual check for checking the presence or absence of banknotes such as 10,000 yen bills and the number of rejected bills in each safe cassette 72 can be detected, the banknotes stored in the safe cassettes 72 can be strictly managed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the type and quantity of coins stored in a safe can be accurately memorized, and
Since the presence or absence of money stored in the safe can be detected, it is possible to strictly control the banknotes for replenishing the safe with banknotes for deposits and withdrawals.
