Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent bank notes kept in a safe section from being touched by unspecified attendants so as to simplify management of keys of safe sections by providing specific locking means which mechanically fix doors which separate housing sections from the outside and are selectively opened so that the housing sections can be taken out from the outside. CONSTITUTION:Electromagnetic locking mechanisms 43 and 44 for taking out a tentative accumulating section and safe section 38 and a lock 44a for taking out the section 38 are constituted in such a way that they operate as required and can limit removable timing of the sections 32 and 38. In addition, the safe section 38 can be taken out only when the locking mechanism 44 is actuated and the lock 44a is unlocked. Moreover, no adjusting work can be carried out even when the lock 44a is unlocked, unless the lock 44a is unlocked by a CPU after the switch of the lock 44a is turned on and the turned-on state is detected by the CPU. Therefore, bank notes in the safe section cannot be touched by unspecified attendants and at the same time, management of the lock is simplified.

For example, a paper sheet processing device that inspects and determines the type of banknotes and performs deposit processing has been put into practical use. There is. Such a paper sheet processing device is designed to inspect and determine the type of banknotes supplied, and then to sort and store the banknotes in the corresponding storage section.

Therefore, if a storage compartment becomes full during processing,
Even if the other storage units are empty, the next deposit process cannot be performed unless the full storage unit is replaced.

By the way, in conventional paper sheet processing devices, if an abnormality occurs during processing, the shutter, which is the partition between the paper stacking section and the safe section, is often left open, and it is difficult to recover from the problem. Unspecified operators could touch the banknotes in the safe during work, posing a cash management problem. In recent years, in these devices, keys such as electromagnetic locks are installed on the doors of the time storage section and the safe section, and when an abnormality occurs, the doors are locked and can only be unlocked by a specific person, for example, an administrator. Restoration work is now possible.

However, if an abnormality occurs, the operator can forcibly terminate the process that was being performed before the abnormality occurred.
Next, the administrator inserts the key and selects the task of recovery work due to the abnormality. After recovery, the company would once again begin payment processing operations that were only permitted to specific persons. Therefore, there was a problem that the operation became complicated.

Set to 8. That is, the storage safes 39, 40, and 41 are loaded by pulling out the safe section 38 as shown in FIG. At this time, if all storage safes 39, 40, 41 are set correctly, reed switch 73, 74
．． 75, 79, 80.81 are turned on. As a result, the CPU 151 determines that all storage safes 39, 40° 41 are set correctly, and the display 82° 83.84
lights up. Next, when the safe section 38 is stored in the device, if the inside of each storage safe 39, 40.degree. 41 is empty, it is detected by the detectors 51, 52.degree. 53, respectively. and,
If any storage safe is not empty, the CPU
151 lights up the corresponding light emitting diode among the light emitting diodes 123, 124, and 125. In this way, since the set status and the contents status of the storage safes 39, 40, 41 are displayed, the operator can either re-set the storage safes 39, 40, 41 according to each status, or choose another storage safe. You can immediately determine whether to set the

Next, the operator selects the processing job using the job selection switch 102 and sets the mode. However, if the storage safe is not set correctly or one of the storage safes is not empty, the operator does not specify the storage mode. It is controlled by the CPU 151 so that it is invalidated even if it is disabled. In other words, the storage mode can be specified only when the empty storage safe is correctly set.

Note that when specifying the counting mode, front/back mode, fitness/loss mode, or front/back fitness/loss mode, the mode can be specified regardless of the state of the storage safe.

In this way, the storage mode can only be specified when the storage safe is correctly set and empty. Therefore, if a banknote remains in the storage safe, this banknote will not be mixed with the banknote to be processed from now on. This results in
There is no risk of discrepancies between the number of banknotes in the storage safe and the number of processed banknotes, and there is no risk of a mixed state due to remaining banknotes even though it is desired to store them in a single denomination. .

Now, for example, if you select "deposit processing" with the business selection switch 102 and press the storage key 111 in the mode setting,
Next, specify the storage mode. At this time, if nothing is designated or the clear key 115 is pressed, the "storage 0 mode" is entered. Here, for example, the storage mode switching key 112
When is pressed and "Storage 1 mode" is set,
The storage safe 39 is set to store 10,000 yen notes, the storage safe 40 is set to store 1,000 yen notes, and the storage safe 41 is set to store other notes (5,000 yen notes, 500 yen notes), and the set mode is RAM.
153. Then, after setting the banknotes P in the supply section 3 all at once, the operator starts the operation section 13.
Press the stop key 140. Then, the banknotes P in the supply section 3 are taken out by the takeout roller 22, inspected by the inspection section 25, passed through the conveyance path 27 via the sorting gate 28, and temporarily accumulated in the -time accumulation storage 33, 34, 35. At the same time, the display devices 116 to 119 of the display device 16 display count data for each type of event, that is, the amount of money, and the display device 120 displays the total amount of money. At this time, since the storage mode is set, the -hour storage 33 holds 10,000 yen notes, the -hour storage 34 holds 1,000 yen notes, and the -hour storage 35 holds other tickets (5,000 yen notes). , 500 yen notes) are accumulated.

The displays 116 to 119 sequentially display the counting results, that is, the number of banknotes during inspection and counting, and when the inspection and counting of all banknotes P set in bulk are completed, the total amount for each denomination is displayed. Display. At this time, when the display switching key 139 of the operation unit 13 is pressed, the displays 116 to 119 display the number of banknotes instead of the amount. therefore,
It can be determined at a glance whether inspection and counting operations are stopped during processing.

When all the banknotes P set in the supply unit 3 have been inspected and counted, the operator checks the counting data and total amount for each denomination and the total amount displayed on the display devices 116 to 120 with the deposit slip. If both data match, the completion key 134 of the operation unit 13 is pressed. Then, C.P.
U151 sends a storage operation command to the transport control unit 158.

Upon receiving this, the conveyance control section 158 controls to drive the motor 93 and a drive source (not shown) of the bushing 36. This causes the shutter 37 to open (
At the same time, the pusher 36 descends, and the -time accumulation warehouses 33 to 35
The banknotes within are stored in the storage safes 39, 40, and 41, respectively.

At this time 6, the operation of the bushing 36 is detected by the microswitches 48, 49.50, and the temporary storage 33.34.3 is detected by the detector 45.46.47.
The presence or absence of banknotes within 5 is detected. and,
When there is no output from any of the detectors 45, 46 and 47, the banknotes remain in the corresponding temporary storage in the temporary storage 33, 34.35, so the CPU 15
1 is determined to be poorly stored.

Further, when the return of the button 36 is not detected within a predetermined time after the operation of the button 36 by the microswitches 48, 49, 50, it is determined that the button 36 has timed out, and therefore the CPU 151 determines that the storage is defective. Further, the opening/closing operation of the shutter 37 is also detected by the reed switches 96 and 97, and when the shutter 37 does not close within a predetermined time, it is a time-out of the shutter 37, and therefore the CPU 151 determines that the storage is defective.

When it is determined that the storage is defective, the CPU 151
The light emitting diode 127 in the display section 126 of No. 6 is turned on to notify the operator.

In addition to the above-mentioned storage operation, the shutter 36 and shutter 37 operations are detected, and the shutter 37 opens when the CPU 151 does not issue a storage operation command.
When it is detected that the button shutter 36 has operated, the CPU 1
51 determines that the storage device is abnormal, and displays the display unit 1 of the display device 16.
The light emitting diode 128 at 26 is turned on to notify the operator.

In this manner, when an abnormality occurs in the safe section 38, since the storage failure and storage device abnormality are displayed, the status of the device can be known and the operator can move on to the next task.

Next, a description will be given of processing when a storage failure occurs or an abnormality occurs in the storage device. First, when the operator determines that there is an abnormality in the device, he notifies the administrator to that effect and requests recovery processing. Next, when the administrator unlocks 1144a of the safe section 38, the electromagnetic locking mechanism 44 for drawing out the safe section 38 is released, and the safe section 38 can be withdrawn. As a result, when the reset key 142 of the operation section 13 is pressed after, for example, a bank note stuck inside the safe section 38 is removed, the pusher 36 and the shutter 37 are driven to return to the initial state. When the restoration process is completed in this manner, the key 44a is removed. The operator is then able to proceed with subsequent processing.

When comparing the displayed data with the deposit slip, if the displayed data and the deposit slip do not match, the electromagnetic locking mechanism 43 is released by pressing the return key 132 of the operation section 13. , the accumulating section 32 can be pulled out in the direction of the arrow X1 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the operator can
．． Banknotes P accumulated in 35 can be taken out. At this time, the CPU 151 clears the data displayed on the display device 16 and the data stored in the RAM 153.

Temporary storage 33, 34, 35 and storage safe 3 mentioned above
9, 40, 41, 200 and 2000 sheets respectively
banknotes can be accumulated and during processing a counting device 16
4 is used to count how many sheets are currently accumulated.

For example, during the processing of the above-mentioned "storage 1 mode",
For example, when the - time stacking box 33 reaches 200 banknotes and becomes full, the CPU 151 controls the banknotes P thereafter to be led to the oven pocket 6 and stacked therein. The same applies to other temporary storage facilities. Therefore, even if the temporary storage is full during deposit processing, deposit processing can be continued, improving processing efficiency.

In this way, when the deposit processing is completed, the CPU 151 calculates the number of coins for each denomination and the total amount processed in the deposit processing.
The total amount is added to the deposit processing total cumulative memory 155 in the AM 153. In addition, the CPU 151 stores the number of coins for each denomination and the total amount accumulated in the oven pocket 6°7.8 in this deposit process in the safe outer roll total cumulative memory 156 in the RAM 153.
Add the cumulative total to .

Next, when the above-mentioned "storage 1 mode" processing is completed and organizing processing is to be performed, the operator first selects "organizing processing" with the task selection switch 102 and sets the mode.

For example, when the counting mode is set by pressing the counting key 103, the operator then sets the banknotes P all at once into the supply section 3, and then presses the start/stop key 140 of the operation section 13.
Press . Then, the bank note P in the supply section 3 is taken out by the take-out roller 22, passes through the thickness detection section 24 and the inspection section 25, passes through the sorting gate 28, and passes through the conveyance path 26 and sorting gate 29 to the oven pocket 6.7. .8 are collected separately by denomination. In this case, if you press the number key 135 on the operation unit 13 in advance to specify the number category of 100, 10,000 yen bills will be placed in the oven pocket 6.
As soon as 0 bills are stacked, the loading is stopped and the stacked 10,000 yen bills are removed from the oven pocket 6, so that loading is started again and stacking is performed. Similarly, 5,000 yen notes are accumulated in the oven pocket 7, and 1,000 yen notes are accumulated in the oven pocket 8. These data are then displayed on the display device 16.

Incidentally, the banknotes that could not be inspected by the inspection section 25 and the banknotes taken in duplicate are rejected and accumulated in the eject oven pocket 5.

When the organizing process is finished and the process is to be performed again in the storage mode, the user selects "deposit processing" with the business selection switch 102 and presses the storage key 111. Then, the "storage 1 mode" stored in the RAM 153 at the time of initial setting is automatically set. This mode is not changed until the storage safe is replaced, and thereafter, when the storage key 111 is pressed, the "storage 1 mode" is automatically set. Therefore, if the mode is changed by mistake, the storage safe 39,
There is no need for banknotes of other denominations to interrupt the 40.41, and there is no need to set the mode again, which can reduce the operator's work.

Next, when you want to interrupt, for example when you have a large deposit and cannot wait until the deposit is complete, press the interrupt key 111a.
Press . Then, other processing can be performed while the data being processed remains stored in the RAM 153. That is, the operator sets the desired work mode and performs the work. When the process is finished, press the interrupt key 111a again or press the storage key 111 to return to the original "storage 1 mode".
to return to. Then, when the remaining banknotes are processed again in the storage mode, the counting result after the interruption is again added to the counting value before the interruption. Furthermore, even if the mode is not the storage mode but the mode for organizing processing such as counting, it is possible to interrupt and perform organizing processing such as counting. In this case as well, when the interrupt counting process is completed and the interrupt key 111a is pressed, the original mode is automatically returned to. Therefore, there is no need to specify the mode again, and the operator's work can be reduced. Also, there is no risk of changing the mode by mistake.

Note that when setting the storage mode, if "storage 0 mode" is set, banknotes are stored in a mixed state in the storage safe. That is, the banknotes are stored in the storage safe 39 in a mixed state,
When the storage safe 39 is full, the storage destination is switched to the storage safe 40, and when the storage safe 40 is full, the storage destination is switched to the storage 41. This allows the storage safe to be used effectively, reduces the frequency of replacing the storage safe, and improves work efficiency.

In addition to the above, for example, the job selection switch 102
If you select "Deposit Processing" and press the counting key 103 to set the counting mode, Oven Pocket 6.7
．． 8 to perform the deposit processing. At this time, banknotes are accumulated in the oven pocket 6° 7.8, and counting data and the like are handled in the same way as in the storage mode. This is done, for example, when a teller makes a direct deposit.
9.

There are cases where it is not necessary to store it in 40.41.

For example, when the front and back keys 104 are pressed during deposit processing, the oven pocket 6.
7.8 is used to distinguish the front and back sides, and counting data and the like are handled in the same way as in the storage mode.

Next, an explanation will be given of the operation when the payment processing is performed in the paper sheet processing apparatus having such a configuration.

First, when the day's work is finished, the administrator unlocks the key 44a and presses the inquiry key 133 on the operation section 13. Next, enter, for example, the transaction number "9" for payment processing on the numeric keypad 138.
After inputting the information using , the completion key 134 is pressed to perform the payment process.

This operation prints out all the aggregated data related to the input on the printer 15, and after finishing, press the reset key 1.
42 to clear the tabulated data. At this time, C
The PU 151 checks whether the key 44a is unlocked. If the above-described payment processing operation is performed on the operation unit 13 without unlocking the key 44a, an error will occur and the payment will not be accepted.

In this way, payment processing cannot be performed without the key 44a of the safe section 38, and only a specific person such as a manager can perform the processing.

In the paper sheet processing apparatus configured as described above, registration of arbitrary operation modes such as sorting, counting, etc. will be further explained with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

First, when the banknote processing is completed, the display device 1
6 registration key 111b is pressed (step 5T1).

Then, the registration lamp 111C above the registration key 111b lights up, indicating that the operation mode has become the registration mode.

Next, the task selection switch 102 is operated to select whether to perform input processing or organization processing (step 5T2). In order to select processing details for banknotes, a counting key 103, a front/back key 104, and a fitness key 105 are used.
, press any one of the front and back keys 106 (step 5T3). Then, in order to select the type of banknotes to be accumulated in the oven pocket 6.7.8, press the 10,000 yen key 10.
7, 5,000 yen key 108, 1,000 yen key 109, 500 yen key 1
The key consisting of 10 is pressed (step 5T4).

Thereafter, the number of sheets to be stacked in the oven pocket 6.7.8 is set using the numeric keypad 138 and sheet number key 135 of the operation section 13 (step 5T5). In order to select whether to display the amount or the number of sheets on the displays 116 to 119 of the display device 16, the display switching key 139 of the operation unit 13 is pressed (step 5T6). lastly,
When the registration/selection key 100a is pressed (step 5T7
), the operation mode currently set in the RAM 153 is divided into a deposit/arrangement storage area 153a, a banknote processing content storage area 153b, and a banknote type storage area 153, as shown in FIG. Storage area 153d for number of sheets, amount display/number of sheets storage area 153e
(Step 5T8). and,
Along with this, the registration lamp 111c on the registration key 111b
The light goes off, indicating that the operation mode registration process has been completed.

In this way, at the end of the operation mode registration process, the registration/selection keys 100a, 100b, 100c are activated.

For example, by pressing 100d, area 153A
, 153B, 153C, and 153D, four types of operation modes can be registered.

Next, selection of the stored operation modes will be explained.

When the registration/selection key 100a is pressed before starting banknote processing, the deposit/organizing storage area 153 is saved from the RAM 153.
a, a banknote processing content storage area 153b, and a banknote type storage area 153c.

The respective setting contents are read from the storage area 153d for the classification number of sheets and the amount display/number of sheets storage area 153e,
Set the operation mode.

This means that the operation mode registration/selection keys 100b and 1
When pressing 00c or 100d, the operation mode can be set by the same process.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, a case has been described in which the application is applied to a paper sheet processing device that processes banknotes, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to other valuable securities other than banknotes. The present invention can also be applied to a paper sheet processing device that processes banknotes.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, unspecified operators can overcome cash management problems without touching banknotes in the safe, and do not require many types of keys. A paper sheet processing device with simplified key management can be provided.
