Abstract

PURPOSE:To heighten reliability for a device by providing a memory security means to invalidate the number of sheets classified by every classification of money stored in a nonvolatile receiving box managing memory when the door of an integral receiving box is opened/closed. CONSTITUTION:The nonvolatile receiving box managing memory 99 is unified with the integral receiving box 11. The number classified by every classification of money of cash is stored in the receiving box managing memory 99, and it is loaded on a device main body, and when the cash is distributed or collected, it is updated at every loading or collection. The number of sheets classified by every classification of money can be preserved by forming the memory with a nonvolatile memory even when the integral receiving box 11 is removed. When it is judged that the number of sheets classified by every classification of money stored in the receiving box managing memory 99 is invalid, an integral tabulation means 80b tabulates the cash housed in the integral receiving box 11, and stores a count result in the receiving box managing memory 99. Meanwhile, when the door of the integral receiving box 11 is opened or closed and the cash housed in the box is taken out, etc., the reliability for the number of sheets classified by every classification of money stored in the receiving box managing memory 99 is lost, therefore, a content security means 80c invalidates the number of sheets classified by every classification of money, and prevents the malfunction of the device main body occurring.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a cash depositing and dispensing device installed in financial institutions and the like.

(Prior Art) In recent years, cash depositing and dispensing devices have been frequently used for cash handling operations with customers, including counter operations and automated cash collection operations at financial institutions such as banks. In addition, we have integrated the deposit and withdrawal functions, and among the deposited coins, the coins that can be reused for withdrawals are redistributed to the denomination-specific storage for withdrawals.
Money recycle type cash deposit/withdrawal devices that are used during withdrawal transactions have been announced one after another.

In such a device, first, the money required for a withdrawal transaction is set in one bulk storage from the source, and the bulk storage is attached to the deposit/withdrawal device. Thereafter, by operating switches that instruct the loading operation, it is possible to automatically distribute and load coins from the bulk storage into each denomination-specific storage provided for withdrawal. Therefore, loading the coins only requires installing the bulk storage.

Furthermore, when the work is completed, by operating switches that instruct a collection operation, a collection operation that is the opposite of the loading operation can be performed.

In other words, if money is sequentially collected from each denomination storage to the bulk storage, the only storages that can be taken out from the deposit/withdrawal device are the bulk storage and the reject storage which stores rejected coins. In this way, convenience for the operator is achieved (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-289488).

Further, a memory is provided to store the number of coins counted by the deposit/withdrawal device during the loading operation and the collection operation, and is displayed on a display provided in the operating section of the device main body. The operator reads this and records it, and when loading, inputs the number of loaded sheets from the operation section, allowing him to manage and operate the number of loaded sheets and the number of collected sheets (Utility Model No. 57-106057).

Behind the banknotes seen from 3 is a discrimination system installed to distinguish and detect whether the banknotes that are fed in one by one are genuine or false, whether they are good or bad, one front or the other, two or more overlapping (penetrating), skewing, etc. Part 11
6 is placed. Furthermore, a front and back arrangement mechanism 117 is provided behind the banknote, and when the bill is determined to be the back side according to the discrimination result of the discrimination unit 116, it is operated by driving a magnet (not shown) to switch the switching blade 122, and the mechanism 117 is operated to move the switching blade 122 to the running path. The structure is such that the paper is switched and sent to the front and back alignment section 117 to be arranged on the front side.

The traveling path 119 is a conveying path provided for delivering the banknotes guided and conveyed to be taken into the apparatus by the switching gate 123 to the intermediate unit 111, and the traveling path 118 is a conveying path provided for delivering the banknotes guided and conveyed to be taken into the device into the apparatus by the switching gate 123. This is a conveyance path for passing the banknotes conveyed along the travel path of the intermediate unit txt and sending them to the discrimination section 116. Further, when the switching gate 123 is activated by driving a magnet (not shown),
The banknotes that have passed through the discrimination section 116 and are conveyed are transferred to the running path 120.
and is conveyed by a travel path 120 to a discharge accumulation section 121 arranged on the back side of the upper surface of the discharge port. The banknotes conveyed to the discharge/accumulation section 121 are accumulated at the discharge port 114, and the teller can take out the banknotes all at once.

The intermediate unit 111 is mainly a temporary storage section for each denomination and fitness, and includes a storage section 124, 125, 126, 127 for collected banknotes, and a time storage section 128, 129.1 for each denomination and fitness and loss.

In addition, when collecting banknotes that are determined to be damaged notes or banknotes not eligible for recirculation (for example, same-volume banknotes) as a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 116, from the storage by denomination described later to the bulk storage, , neither gates 137 nor 138 or 139 are activated for the denomination amount, and the gate 136 is activated for the lump sum/deposit amount to be sent to the lump/deposit accumulation section 124, and the lump/deposit amount is sent to the lump/deposit accumulation section 124.
The deposit accumulating unit 124 sequentially accumulates the banknotes in the batch/deposit-time storage unit 128 .

The withdrawal reject banknote amount inserting unit 140 rejects the banknotes, which will be described later, when a banknote taken out from a storage by denomination (described later) in a withdrawal transaction passes through the discrimination unit 116 and is determined to be an unsuitable banknote for withdrawal. This is a conveyance unit for feeding bills into the banknote storage. -Hour holding section shutter 132.133.134
．． 135 is connected to a single magnet (not shown), and by driving the magnet, - time holding parts 128, 129° 130, 131 are rotated at the same time, with the portions connected to the sides of 130 and 131 being the center of rotation. The center part rotates downward. With this operation, the time reservation section 128.129.130.13
The banknotes accumulated in 1 are dropped and stored in each storage in the lower unit 112.

In addition, if the teller performs a cancellation operation when the deposited banknotes are accumulated in the temporary holding section 128.129.130.131 after counting the deposits in the deposit transaction, the intermediate unit 111 will be unlocked and the intermediate unit 111 will be unlocked. By pulling out 11'l forward, the temporary storage section 128°129, 13
It is now possible to take out the banknotes that were stacked at 0.131. Furthermore, by using the audit key, the clerk can take out the banknotes remaining in each part of the intermediate unit at his/her will, so that the banknote can be taken out even in the event of a jam.

The lower unit 112 takes out the bulk/deposit storage 143, the denomination-specific storage 144, 145, 146, and the extraction/separation mechanism 147, 148, 149, 150 from the storage. It is composed of a running path 151 for conveying banknotes.

The egg same volume storage 146 is the egg same volume storage section 131.
This storage unit has the function of accepting and accumulating banknotes from the bank, and the function of feeding out banknotes one by one using a separation mechanism 150.

Similarly, 145 is a storage for 1,000 yen notes, 149 is a separation mechanism for 1,000 yen notes, 144 is a storage for 10,000 yen notes, 148 is a separation mechanism for 10,000 yen notes, and 143 is for bulk/return of human funds. The impossible ticket storage 147 is a separation mechanism for bulk storage tickets.

The reject banknote storage 142 detects skew or overlapping of two or more banknotes (pay run) in the recognition results of the recognition unit 116 among the banknotes fed out from the denomination storage 144, 145, 146 in a withdrawal transaction, and withdraws the banknotes. This is a storage for storing banknotes determined to be invalid.

The traveling path 151 is a conveying path for conveying banknotes fed out from the bulk/deposit storage 143 and the denomination-specific storage 144, 145, and 146, and sending them to the traveling path 141 of the intermediate unit 111.

Next, the operating procedures of deposit transactions, withdrawal transactions, loading and collection processing will be explained using FIGS. 3 to 6.

Deposit transaction FIG. 3 is a sectional view during a deposit transaction.

First, the customer takes in bills set in the input slot 113 one by one from the bottom into the device by operating the deposit separation mechanism 115 and feeds them into the discrimination section 116 along the running path.

In the discrimination section 116, the transported banknotes are sequentially discriminated one by one by authenticity discrimination, fitness discrimination (1) front and back discrimination, and running state detection, and are sent to a front and back arrangement mechanism 117 located at the rear via a running path.

A banknote determined by the discrimination unit 116 to be a genuine banknote and a front side banknote;
Those determined to be counterfeit tickets head to the switching gate 123 via the route (■).

If a bill is determined to be a counterfeit ticket, the switching gate 12
3 operates, transports it upward, and travels through the traveling path 120.
It is conveyed along the route from the rear toward the front to reach the discharge outlet accumulation section 121. The discharge port stacking section 121 stacks the transported banknotes one by one at the discharge port 114. The banknotes accumulated in the discharge port 114 are so-called deposit-reject banknotes.

When a banknote that is determined to be a genuine banknote and a front side banknote arrives, it heads downward to the intermediate unit 111 through the route (■).

If the banknote is determined to be a genuine banknote and a reverse side by the discrimination unit 116, the switching gate 122 located at the entrance of the front and back arrangement mechanism 117 is operated to send the banknote to the route (■).
By passing through the front and back arrangement mechanism 117, the leading and trailing ends of the banknote being conveyed are reversed, and the banknote is turned into the front side and sent out along the route (■) by the intermediate unit 111 via the traveling path 119.

In the intermediate unit 111, the banknotes with their surfaces aligned are conveyed along the travel path 141 in the direction of the arrow.

Here, if a banknote that is a valid Tamako domaki bill and can be reused for withdrawal is conveyed, the Tenshi domaki kiribun operates the gate 139 and sends it to the Tenshi domaki accumulating section 127. It is accumulated in the winding/hour storage section 131. Similarly, if the banknote is a genuine 1,000 yen note and can be reused for withdrawal, the 1,000 yen note is sent to the 1,000 yen note accumulation unit 126 by operating the gate 138.
1,000 yen notes - If the banknotes are genuine 10,000 yen notes and can be reused for withdrawal, the 1000 yen notes are accumulated in the time storage unit 130 and the 10,000 yen notes are separated by the gate 13.
7 and sends the ten thousand yen bills to the ten thousand yen bill accumulation section 125.
The time storage unit 129 accumulates the data.

In the case of undamaged notes or notes that cannot be withdrawn (for example, same volume or bills before alteration), they will be treated as non-refundable banknotes and will be deposited in bulk/deposit.
It is accumulated in the time storage section 12B.

By the above-described operation, the deposit counting process for the banknotes set in the input slot 113 is completed.

<Withdrawal transaction> FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view during a withdrawal transaction.

In addition, if the discrimination unit 116 discriminates that the ticket is not as specified or is a ticket that cannot be withdrawn, it is conveyed downward to the running path 11.
9, the intermediate unit 111 is conveyed as indicated by the arrow {circle around (2)}, and fed into the reject banknote storage 142 from the withdrawal reject banknote drop-in section 140. Then, the 1,000 yen note is taken out again from the 1,000 yen bill storage 144, and the process of identification and accumulation is repeated as many times as necessary.Once the 1,000 yen note has been released, the next step is to release one 1,000 yen note from the 1,000 yen storage 145. The withdrawal transaction is completed in the same manner as for 10,000 yen notes.

<Safe loading> FIG. 5 is a sectional view during a loading operation.

When a safe loading key (not shown) is pressed, it is confirmed that the end detector 157a of the bulk/deposit storage 143 has not detected the end, that is, that the banknotes to be loaded have been set in advance. If the end is detected, this process is aborted.

After confirming that the end is not detected, the safe loading operation begins.

Next, the takeout/separation mechanism 147 is activated to feed out the banknotes set in the bulk/deposit storage 143 one by one from the bottom, and follow the arrows ■, ■, and ■ in the figure to move the banknotes to the running path 15.
1.141.118 and sent into the discrimination section 116.The discrimination section 116 sequentially passes the incoming banknotes one by one, distinguishes between authenticity, 2 determines whether the banknotes are correct or defective, 1 distinguishes front and back, and detects the running state. The paper is sent to the front and back arrangement mechanism 117 located there via a travel path.

The banknote determined to be the front side by the discrimination unit 116 is conveyed downward and transferred to the intermediate unit 111 by a running path 119.
Head to. If the banknote is determined to be the back side by the discrimination section 116, it is sent to the front/back side arrangement mechanism 117, turned into the front side, and sent to the intermediate unit 111 via the running path 119.

In the intermediate unit 111, the banknotes whose front surface is aligned are conveyed along the travel path in the direction of the arrow (■).

Here, if a banknote that can be loaded for dispensing with a genuine Tenshi same volume is transported, the Tenshi same volume is sold out at the gate 13.
9 is activated to send the eggs to the same-roll accumulating section 127 and accumulate them in the egg-same-time storage section 131. Similarly, 1,000 yen bills are accumulated in the 1,000 yen bill-hour storage section 130, and 10,000 yen bills are sent to the 10,000 yen bill accumulation section 125 and accumulated in the 10,000 yen bill-hour preservation section 129.

The above operations are repeated until there are no more banknotes set in the bulk/deposit storage 143. Temporary hold part 1 on the way
If the number of sheets stored in any one of 29, 130, and 131 reaches the storage tolerance value (for example, 100 sheets), the operation of the take-out separation mechanism 147 is interrupted and the - hour storage section shutter 1 is closed.
33, 134, and 135 are opened downward at the same time, and the banknotes held in storage 144, 145, and 146 are stored.

When the storage operation is completed, the storage section shutter 133°1"3
4.135 returns to its original state, the take-out and separation mechanism 147 is operated again to repeat the loading operation.

When the banknotes in the bulk/deposit storage 143 run out and the end is detected, the takeout/separation mechanism 147 stops, and the last banknote is transferred to the temporary storage section 133, 134, 13 of the intermediate unit 111.
5, the conveyance operation by the travel path also stops. - The banknotes in the time storage section 133, 134, and 135 are stored in the storage 144.
．． 145 and 146, and the safe loading operation ends.

Note that banknotes that are determined to be unfit or unloadable (for example, banknotes from the same volume or before opera) as a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 116 are accumulated in the bulk/deposit-time storage unit 128 or ejected. The banknotes are stored in the banknote storage 142.

Safe Replenishment> When the safe replenishment key (not shown) is pressed and the denomination and number of replenishment coins are input, for example, when replenishing 5,000 yen bills, the end detector 157a of the bulk/deposit storage 143 detects the end. Once it is confirmed that no detection has been made, the safe replenishment operation begins. The following operations are performed in the same manner as loading.

Safe collection> FIG. 6 shows a sectional view during the recovery operation.

When you press the safe collection key (not shown), each denomination storage 1
Confirm that all of 44, 145, and 146 have not detected the end.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the storage boxes, the safe collection operation is started.

First, the egg yen take-out and separation mechanism 150 is activated, and the banknotes stored in the egg yen storage 146 are paid out one by one from the bottom, and the bills are moved along the running path 15 as shown by the arrows ■, ■, and ■ in the figure.
1.141.118 and is sent to the discrimination section 116. The discrimination section 116 sequentially performs authenticity discrimination 9 to determine the front and back sides of the incoming banknotes one by one and detects the running state, and conveys the banknotes downward and directs them to the intermediate unit 111 via a running path 119.

In the intermediate unit 111, the banknotes are conveyed along the running path 141 in the direction of the arrow
6 and sent to the lump sum/deposit accumulation section 124 and accumulated in the lump sum/deposit time storage section 128.

The deposit/withdrawal device 105 repeats the above operation while counting the banknotes by denomination, and divides the banknotes in each denomination storage into Tenshi same volume 7,000 yen note,
The 10,000 yen notes are counted and accumulated in the bulk/deposit storage 143 in order.

If the full detector 154a of the bulk/deposit storage 143 detects a full state during the collection operation, the collection operation will be interrupted, and the staff member will use the audit key to open the front door of the lower half knit 112 and remove the deposit. Pull the storage rack forward, pull out the bulk/deposit storage, use the storage key to open the storage door, and take out all bills.

The storage door is closed and the storage is set by the reverse operation as described above. When the lower unit 112 is set, the collection operation is performed again.

Thus, when the end of all the storage boxes is detected and the last banknote arrives at the bulk/deposit-time storage section 128, the conveyance operation by the travel path also stops. Further lump sum/deposit-time reservation part 1
28 banknotes are stored in the storage 143, and the safe collection operation ends.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, conventional deposit and withdrawal devices are capable of depositing and withdrawing funds in multiple denominations. Sometimes 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen notes are available.

In such devices, replenishment and filling of multiple denominations,
It is preferable to be able to do this freely as needed.For this purpose, it is preferable to provide separate storage sections for the two denominations of 10,000 yen notes and 1,000 yen notes side by side in the above-mentioned bulk storage. .

A take-out and separation mechanism for each denomination is provided corresponding to each storage section. Alternatively, only one take-out/separation mechanism may be provided, and the denomination-specific storage section may be made movable, and the denomination-specific storage section may be moved to the position of the take-out/separation mechanism each time.

In addition, there is a bulk storage where you can store multiple denominations of banknotes at once.
The number of banknotes required for each denomination is predicted and stacked in advance for each denomination and stored in the bulk storage unit, and the operation of filling and replenishing banknotes is performed as necessary. do.

However, the method of providing a plurality of storage sections in a bulk storage has the disadvantage that the device becomes complicated and large.

On the other hand, in the method of stacking and storing a plurality of denominations in a batch cassette, if the withdrawal amount is biased towards a particular denomination, the distribution and replenishment operation of the denomination will be hindered. That is, if a considerable amount of banknotes of other denominations remain in the bulk storage, it cannot be determined that a particular denomination has run out until after all stored banknotes have been appraised.

Further, if the clerk monitors the amount of money withdrawn from the denomination storage and distributes and replenishes banknotes as necessary, the automation achieved by using the bulk storage is ineffective.

Furthermore, according to the above-mentioned Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 57-106057, even if a bulk storage unit is equipped with a memory that stores the number of stored banknotes, etc., if the contents are not precisely managed and reliability is not improved, the device will fail. It cannot be used for automatic control of banknotes, and the operation of having staff input the number of banknotes stored in the bulk storage into the cash deposit/withdrawal machine each time the bulk storage is loaded is cumbersome. Errors are likely to occur, and automation is desired.

The present invention has been made with attention to the above points, and it prevents the bulk storage from increasing in size and prevents excess or shortage of banknotes in the denomination storage; it automatically and efficiently performs replenishment and collection operations. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cash depositing and dispensing device that can be easily operated.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The cash deposit/withdrawal device of the present invention includes a bulk storage that stores multiple denominations of cash at once and is detachable from the device body, and is integrated into the bulk storage. , a non-volatile storage management memory that stores the number of cash by denomination stored in the bulk storage, and a nonvolatile storage management memory that stores the number of cash by denomination that is stored in the storage management memory, and if the number of cash by denomination stored in the storage management memory is invalid, a bulk totaling means for taking out and totaling the cash stored in the bulk storage from the bulk storage and then storing the counting result in the storage management memory; The present invention is characterized by comprising a memory guarantee means for invalidating the number of coins for each denomination stored in the warehouse management memory.

(Function) In the above device, a non-volatile storage management memory is integrated into the bulk storage. This storage management memory stores the number of cash stored in the storage for each denomination, and when it is attached to the main body of the device and distributes or collects cash,
It will be updated each time. If this is stored as a non-volatile memory, the number of coins by denomination will be saved even if the bulk storage is removed.

If for some reason the number of coins by denomination stored in the storage storage management memory is determined to be invalid, the bulk aggregation means takes out all the cash stored in the storage storage and totals it. Store the counting results in memory.

On the other hand, even if the bulk storage is removed from the device main body, the contents of the storage management memory are saved, but when you open or close the door of the bulk storage and take out cash stored inside, etc. , the number of coins by denomination stored in the storage management memory becomes unreliable. Therefore, the content guarantee means invalidates the number of coins for each denomination to prevent malfunction of the main body of the device.

(Example) <Device configuration> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using embodiments shown in the drawings.

The device of the present invention is further provided with a count management section 80a, a bulk totaling means 8ob, and a memory guaranteeing means 80c for counting and managing the cash stored in the bulk storage 11.

The count management section 80a and the batch totaling means 80b are attached to the main body of the apparatus. Further, the memory guarantee means 80c is attached integrally with the bulk storage 11 together with the storage management memory 99 of the bulk storage 11.

The counting management unit 80a calculates the amount of banknotes distributed from the bulk storage 11 when the bulk storage 11 is attached to the device main body 50 and when there is a shortage of banknotes stored in any denomination storage 8.9.10. Count the number of banknotes and store them in storage bins 8 and 9 for each denomination.
．． When collecting banknotes from 10, this device counts the collected banknotes and updates the contents of storage management memory 99 each time.

When the number of banknotes by denomination stored in the storage management memory 99 is invalid, the batch totaling means 80b temporarily sends all the banknotes from the batch storage 11 to the discrimination section 4, and returns the banknotes to the batch storage 11 after discrimination. The storage management memory 99
This is a device that performs the process of replacing the contents of the data with the counting results.

When the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 receives the command to start the withdrawal process, it switches its internal state to the withdrawal mode and waits for instructions on the denomination and number of banknotes to be dispensed.

For example, when a customer inputs an amount of m ten thousand yen notes and n thousand dome notes, first, the end detectors 39a and 39b of each denomination storage 8, 9, and 10.

39c determines whether or not each end is detected. If an end is detected in any one denomination storage, information indicating that withdrawal is not possible is added to the command and a response is sent back. If the end is not detected, the machine operates the 10,000 yen note take-out/separation mechanism 21 in accordance with the instructions for counting the money, for example, to dispense m 10,000 yen notes. The fed banknotes are fed into the discrimination section 4 through the travel paths indicated by arrows ■, ■, ■. The discrimination section 4 discriminates whether the banknote is as specified or not, whether it is front or back, whether it is fit or not, and if it is as specified, operates the switching gate 43 and sends the banknote to the front and back arrangement mechanism 5 along the arrows ``■'' and ``■''. In the discrimination section 4, the front and back sides of the banknotes are determined, and the switching gate 6 is operated based on the determination result, and the front and back of each banknote is aligned and stacked in the front and back arrangement mechanism 5.

Note that the banknotes that are identified as abnormally conveyed banknotes by the recognition unit 4 are as follows:
By activating the switching gates 43 and 63, the money is sent to the stacking section 64 of the reject cassette 7, following the routes indicated by the arrows ■ and ■, and is accumulated in the deposit/withdrawal reject section 65.

The previously instructed m ten thousand yen bills are taken out from the denomination storage 9 in which ten thousand yen bills are stored, and the front and back side arrangement mechanism 5
The above operation is repeated until the total number is accumulated.

When the accumulation of 1,000 yen notes is completed, next, n 1,000 yen notes are taken out from the denomination storage 8 that accommodates 1,000 yen notes.

As a result of the above operations, when m ten thousand yen notes and n thousand yen notes specified by the customer are accumulated in the front and back arrangement mechanism 5, the customer service opening 3 is placed at the receiving position shown in FIG. 9(C). is set, the withdrawal banknotes accumulated in the front and back arrangement mechanism 5 are taken into the customer service opening 3, and the shutter 42 is opened by switching to the withdrawal position shown in FIG. 9(d), and the banknotes are given to the customer. and then close the shutter 42.

When the withdrawal of the designated number of coins from the control unit 56'' is completed, the cash depositing and dispensing device 5o returns a response indicating the end of processing to the control unit 56. At this time, data on the denomination type and the number of coins to be dispensed is added. The control unit 56 receives this, counts it as the number of coins to be withdrawn, and stores it.

With this, the withdrawal transaction process is completed.

In addition, if the customer forgets to take the banknotes at customer service counter 3,
Re-separate the forgotten banknotes at the customer service opening 3, feed them one by one in the direction of the arrow ■ in the appraiser 4, operate the switching blades 43, 69, and 63, and then transfer them to the left-hander accumulation part 6B of the ejection cassette 7. It is sent and accumulated in the forgotten section 67.

At this time, as explained earlier, the memory guarantee means 80c
operates and destroys the contents of storage management memory 99.

As a result, even if the storage management memory 99 is accessed from now on, the contents thereof will be invalid, so that the collective aggregation means 80b and the like are prompted to operate, as described above.

In addition, as a method of invalidating the contents of the storage management memory 99, there is also a method of detecting the opening/closing of the door 11a and storing the door opening/closing flag in the memory guaranteeing means 80c. In this case, the memory guarantee means 80C is the cash deposit/withdrawal device control section 80 of the device main body 50 consisting of a simple register (FIG. 8).
In that case, it can be recognized that the contents of the storage management memory 99 are invalid by referring to the memory guaranteeing means 80c.

In addition, the memory guarantee means 80c is configured to include an address counter for accessing the storage management memory 99, an invalid data generation circuit for generating invalid data to be input into the storage management memory 99, etc. Good too. This invalid data is set to a numerical value of 0°, for example. Then, when the door is opened or closed, the data in the storage management memory 99 is cleared from the first address to the last address, or other invalid data is stored. It can be easily determined that the contents of 99 are invalid.

After installing the bulk storage, the load key is pressed among the operation keys of the internal operation section 55 shown in FIG. The control unit 56 is
Upon receiving this input, a command is sent to the cash depositing/dispensing device 50 to instruct it to start a loading operation.

When receiving the command to start the loading operation, the cash depositing and dispensing device 50 switches its internal state to loading mode. Then, it is confirmed that the end detector 39d of the bulk storage 11 does not detect the end.

This is to confirm that the banknotes to be loaded have been set in the bulk storage 11 in advance. If the end is detected, information indicating that the operation is disabled is added and a response is sent to the control unit 56. In that case, the loading operation is aborted. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the loading operation starts.

At this point, the stored contents of the storage management memory 99 provided in the bulk storage do not necessarily match the denomination and number of banknotes actually stored in the bulk cassette.

When the loading operation is started, in FIG. 8, the cash depositing and dispensing device control unit 80 controls the bulk storage 11 in FIG.
The drive motor of the batch extraction and separation mechanism 23 shown in the figure is operated. As a result, the banknotes set in the bulk storage 11 are fed out one by one from the top, and
.

It is sent to the discrimination section 4 along the routes of ■, ■, and ■.

The discrimination section 4 performs denomination discrimination, authenticity discrimination, fitness discrimination, and running state check for each banknote that is sequentially fed in, and the conveyed banknote is further sent to the rear. If the result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 4 is a genuine 1,000 yen note (a bill with no or only minor damage, and which can be used for withdrawal), the bill will be marked with the arrows ■, ■, Following the route (2), the 1,000 yen bill is sent to the 1,000 yen bill accumulating section 27 via the gate 57 via the travel path 49 of the cash withdrawal unit 18. In this way, the 1,000 yen bills are directly accumulated on the stage 45 of the 1,000 yen bill storage 8.

In addition, in the loading operation as described above, the shutters 34, 35, 36 of each denomination storage 8, 9, 10 are opened in advance, and the stage 45° 46, 47 is set to receive the banknotes to be loaded. ing.

Further, if the result of the discrimination is that the bill is a genuine ten thousand yen bill, the ten thousand yen bill switching gate 31 or 32 is operated and the bill is sent to the ten thousand yen bill stacking section 28 or 29. and,
It is integrated directly onto the stage 46,47.

The above operations are for each denomination storage box 8, 9.10.
This process is repeated until a preset appropriate number of sheets is loaded.

During this operation, if the number of sheets accumulated on any of the stages 45, 46, 47 reaches a holding tolerance, for example 100 sheets, the operation of the bulk takeout and separation mechanism 23 of the bulk storage 11 is interrupted. Then, stage 45 when the hold tolerance value has been reached.
．． 46 or 47 is lowered by a thickness equivalent to the holding tolerance by a motor (not shown). When the stage is lowered, the batch extraction and separation mechanism 23 is operated again to repeat the loading operation.

For example, when 10,000 yen bills are first loaded in the denomination storage 9, a predetermined appropriate number of 10,000 yen bills will remain in the denomination storage 9 until the full detection device 37b fully detects them. Loading continues until it is stowed.

Similarly, when storing 1,000 yen notes in the denomination storage 8,
Loading continues until the appropriate number of sheets is reached.

This appropriate number is set, for example, to an appropriate number that leaves a space for storing banknotes to be deposited in a deposit transaction after loading banknotes. This may be uniformly determined empirically, or may be arbitrarily set depending on the installation environment of the automated teller machine and the specificity of the transaction day, such as when the transaction day falls at the end of the month.

The settings may be made, for example, by input by a staff member from the internal operation section 55 shown in FIG.

By the way, even if the loading of banknotes up to the predetermined appropriate number of bills into the denomination storage 8.9 is completed, if the denomination still remains in the bulk storage 11, the switching gate 15
．． 16 is activated to collect the conveyed banknotes into the stacking section 30 of the bulk storage 11 through the route indicated by the arrow (■).

This operation continues until the banknotes on the stage 70 of the bulk storage 11 run out, while appraising the banknotes on the stage 70 of the bulk storage 11 through the route of ■, ■, ■, ■, ■, ■, ■. When the banknotes run out, the batch takeout and separation mechanism 23 and the conveyance operation of each travel path are stopped.

When the discriminating unit 4 determines that the bill is an unfit bill or a denomination for which a denomination-specific storage is not provided, for example, in this embodiment, it is a tenshi same volume, etc., the switching gates 15, 16, and 69 are activated. Then, the ejects are sent all at once to the eject accumulating section 68 through the route indicated by the arrow ■. Then, the unfit notes and the like are collectively accumulated in the ejection section 62.

When the above series of operations is completed, stages 45, 46.
The banknotes 47 are lowered all at once, and the banknotes accumulated on these stages are stored in the denomination storage 8°9.10, and the loading operation is completed. When the operation is completed, the cash deposit/withdrawal device 5
0 returns a device end response to the control unit 56. At this time, data on the number of sheets for each denomination loaded in each denomination storage section 8, 9, 10 is transmitted.

Furthermore, the counting management unit 80a stores storage boxes 8.9.1 for each denomination.
While the scheduled number of banknotes is being loaded into the banknote 0, the data on the number of banknotes for each denomination of banknotes collected in the bulk storage 11 is counted again. and,
The data is stored in the storage management memory 99 via the bulk storage interface circuit 9o shown in FIG. As a result, accurate number data for each denomination stored in the batch cassette 11 is stored in the storage management memory 99 at the end of loading.

<Storage Management Memory> The data format of the storage management memory 99 is shown in FIGS. 14 to 16.

As shown in FIG. 14, for example, the storage management memory 99
It is assumed that 4 words of data can be stored in . Here, data on the number of 10,000 yen notes is stored in addresses m and m+1. Further, data on the number of thousand yen notes is stored in addresses m+2 and m+3.

As shown in Figure 15, each piece count data is 1 word 8.
Since it has a bit structure, the maximum number of binary numbers is 218.
The number of sheets up to t, that is, 65.535 sheets can be expressed.

FIG. 16 shows an example of actually stored data. In other words, the data on the number of 10,000 yen notes is "010001" at address m.
01'' and the numerical value ``11011100'' is stored at address m+1. That is, this represents 1, 500 sheets in decimal notation.

On the other hand, the data on the number of 1,000 yen notes is ' 1 at address m+2.
0000001'' Address m + 3 has “11110”
100°.

The value is stored. This is 5 in decimal
00 sheets.

That is, if the data stored in the storage management memory 99 after the loading operation is of the content shown in FIG.
The total number of banknotes collected again in the bulk storage 11 is 1,500 1,500 yen notes and 500 1,000 yen notes.

<Operation of bulk storage> During the above loading operation, the bulk storage operates as follows.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the bulk storage.

At the start of the operation of loading banknotes from the bulk storage 11 into each denomination storage 8, 9, 10 (Fig. 12), as shown in Fig. 17 (
As shown in a), the banknotes on the stage 70 are taken out and sent out by the batch takeout and separation mechanism 23.

On the other hand, banknotes collected without being stored in the denomination storages 8, 9, and 10 are sent to the bulk stacking section 30 and stacked on the bulk partition plate 33. Here, when the number of banknotes reaches a stacking tolerance, for example 100 sheets, the operation of the bulk takeout/separation mechanism 23 is temporarily stopped.

The drive lever 71 is set in advance to the position 71■ in FIG. 17(b), and when it receives an instruction that the accumulation tolerance has been reached, it rotates to the position 71■ in the figure and releases the data all at once. The banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 33 are clamped. Then, a motor (not shown) is driven, and 71■
Drive lever 7 from position 71 to position 71■
Pick up 1. Next, the previously stopped batch takeout/separation mechanism 23 is operated to continue stacking banknotes on the batch partition plate 33 again up to the stacking tolerance.

When the accumulation tolerance is reached again, the bulk take-out separation mechanism 23 is stopped and the drive lever 71 is moved from the 71■ position to 7.
The banknotes are rotated to the position 1 and the banknotes lifted by the drive lever 71 are dropped onto the banknotes accumulated on the partition plate 33. Then, by a motor (not shown) again, 7
Lower the drive lever 71 in position 1■, and
Move to position 1■. After that, 71■ again
The drive lever 71 is rotated to the position 71, and the bill is lifted to the position 71■.

The end detector 39d detects this kind of operation on the stage 70.
Repeat until it detects that the banknote on top is gone. When the end is detected, the operation of the bulk take-out separation mechanism 23 is stopped, and the drive lever 71 is moved by a motor (not shown).
Lift the bill to the position.

On the other hand, the stage 70 is moved by a motor (not shown).
It is rotationally driven from the 0■ position to the 70■ position, and further descends to the 70■ position. And 7
It is rotationally driven to the 0■ position and placed below the drive lever 71■. Thereafter, the drive lever is rotated to the position 71■, and the bill that was previously clamped and lifted is placed on the stage 70■. Thereafter, the stage 70 is driven by a motor (not shown), and the stage 70 is driven by a motor (not shown).
It rises to the position of 0■.

Through the above operations, the collected banknotes can be distributed from the bulk storage 11 again.

Update storage management memory> In the above distribution operation, all banknotes are sent out from the bulk storage, all the banknotes that could not be distributed are collected in the bulk storage, and the number of banknotes by denomination is updated. It was stored as is in the storage management memory. However, even in cases other than distribution operations, if the contents of the storage management memory 99 are determined to be abnormal, the cash depositing and dispensing device control unit 80
(FIG. 8) detects this and automatically updates the contents of the storage management memory 99.

In such a case, for example, if the bulk storage 11 is attached to a cash deposit/withdrawal device and the contents of the storage management memory 99 are questionable, the power has just been turned on to the cash deposit/withdrawal device, and the contents of the storage management memory 99 are doubtful. If the contents of 99 are not reliable, even though the bulk storage end detector 39d has not detected the end, the storage management memory 99
If the sum of the number data by denomination is "0" or if the number data exceeding the number of coins that can be stored in the bulk storage is stored in the storage management memory 99, the storage management memory 99
In some cases, a condition such as a parity error is detected in the access address of

In the above case, as in the distribution operation, the banknotes are sent out from the bulk storage, transported, discriminated, counted for each denomination, and then circulated again to the bulk storage for collection. Then, the data on the number of coins by denomination obtained by counting is stored in the storage management memory, and the process is terminated.

Incidentally, if the storage management memory 99 has been disabled during the bulk storage storage loading and unloading operations described above, the batch counting means 80b recognizes this and automatically starts counting. do.

To determine whether the storage management memory 99 is invalid, first, if the contents of the storage management memory 99 have been destroyed due to power off of the backup battery, a parity check or a data check is performed.

It is detected that it is invalid by means such as a CRC check. Further, if a flag indicating that the storage management memory 99 is invalid is stored in the memory guaranteeing means 80C, that flag is recognized.

Further, if the storage management memory 99 is cleared to "0" or invalid data is stored therein, the contents are detected. If the storage management memory 99 recognizes that the banknotes are invalid, all the banknotes are taken out from the bulk storage 11, transported, discriminated, counted for each denomination, and then circulated to the bulk storage for counting. The number of denominations obtained is stored in the storage management memory 99.

Replenishment Operation> Since the replenishment operation is similar to the loading operation in the drawing, the replenishment operation will be explained using FIG. 12 again.

When the clerk presses the replenishment key using the operation keys of the internal operation section 55 (FIG. 7), the control section 56 (FIG. 7) receives this input and controls the cash depositing and dispensing device 5° (FIG. 7). and sends a command to start replenishment operation. When the cash deposit/withdrawal device control section 80 (FIG. 8) receives a command to start replenishment operation from the control section 56 (FIG. 7), it sets the operation mode to the replenishment mode. The replenishment mode includes a forced replenishment mode in which you are instructed in advance to replenish a specified number of coins for a specified denomination, and a forced replenishment mode in which you are instructed in advance to replenish a specified number of coins for a specified denomination, and a denomination-specific storage 8,
There is an automatic replenishment mode that is automatically executed when it is detected that the remaining amount of any of the banknotes in 9.10 becomes less than or equal to a predetermined number.

Before starting the replenishment operation, it is confirmed that the end detector 39d of the bulk storage 11 has not detected an end, that is, that banknotes have been set in advance. Furthermore, by referring to the data stored in the storage management memory 99, it is confirmed whether or not banknotes to be replenished are stored in the bulk storage 11.

In the forced replenishment mode, if the end is detected, a response with information indicating that it is not in an operable state is sent back to the control unit 56 (FIG. 7). In this case, since the contents of the storage management memory 99 may not be reliable, clear all the numbers of coins by denomination in the storage management memory 99,
Cancel processing. Of course, similar processing is performed even in automatic replenishment mode.

On the other hand, the end is not detected, and the storage management memory 99
If it is determined that replenishment can be performed within the range of the number of coins for each denomination stored in , the replenishment operation is started. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the batch takeout/separation mechanism 23 at the top of the bulk storage 11 is activated to feed out the banknotes set in the bulk storage 11 one by one from the top.

This bill passes through the routes indicated by the arrows ■, ■, ■, ■ and is sent to the discrimination section 4.

The discrimination section 4 sequentially performs denomination discrimination, authenticity discrimination, fitness discrimination, and running condition check on the incoming banknotes. If the banknote is a type, the banknote determined to be other than the genuine banknote to be replenished as a result of the recognition by the recognition unit 4 will be classified as ■, ■,
Following the route (2), the cut portions are sent to the accumulation section 30 of the bulk storage 11 by operating the gates 15 and 16.

As explained earlier in the example of loading, the bulk storage 11
It is collected again into the bulk storage by the internal operation of.

In this case, it goes without saying that the contents of the storage management memory 99 are managed by the counting management section 80a so that they do not change.

For banknotes determined to be rejected banknotes, the switching gates 15, 16, and 69 are activated, and the banknotes follow the route (2) and are sent to the stacking section 68. These banknotes are collectively stacked in the pick section 62.

Now, if a genuine bill of the banknote to be replenished is delivered,
As explained in the section on loading, if it is a thousand yen note, the gate 57 is activated to send the thousand yen note to the thousand yen note stacking section 27, where it is directly stacked on the thousand yen note stage 45. If it is a 10,000 yen note, the 10,000 yen note is sent to the 10,000 yen note accumulation section 28 or 29 by operating the gate 31 or 32. Then, they are directly accumulated on the ten thousand yen bill stage 46 or 47.

The above operations will continue until the target number is replenished, but
During the process, if the number of stacked cassettes on either stage 45, 46, or 47 reaches the holding tolerance value, for example 100 sheets, the operation of the batch extraction separation mechanism 23 is interrupted and the stage of the cassette that has reached the holding tolerance value is removed. , a motor (not shown) lowers the amount by an amount equivalent to the holding allowance, and again activates the batch extraction/separation mechanism 23 to repeat the replenishment operation.

Even if the number of bills to be replenished reaches the target value or is before the target value, if all the bills to be replenished in the collective storage 11 are replenished by referring to the number of bills by denomination stored in the storage management memory 99, The batch extraction and separation mechanism 23 stops. Then, when the last bill arrives at stage 45, 46, 47, the conveyance operation is stopped. Of the stages 45, 46, 47, the stage that has performed the replenishment operation is lowered, and the banknotes accumulated on the stage are stored in either of the corresponding denomination storages 8, 9, 10, and the replenishment operation is completed. .

When the replenishment operation is completed, the number of sheets to be replenished is counted, and the contents of the storage management memory 99 are updated based on the result. In this case, the number obtained by subtracting the counting results of all the denominations retrieved into the bulk storage 11 from the counting results of all the denominations taken out from the bulk storage 11 is calculated from the original data in the storage management memory 99. Subtracted.

FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the storage management memory before and after the replenishment operation.

For example, assume that the banknote storage state in the bulk storage 11 and the contents of the storage management memory 99 before the replenishment operation are as shown in FIG. 18(a). In other words, before the replenishment operation, 1 million yen note
．． 500 pieces, and 500 pieces of 1,000 yen notes. here,
If 300 1,000 yen notes and 300,000 yen notes each are refilled in each denomination storage, after the replenishment operation, there will be 1,200 1,200 yen notes and 200 1,000 yen notes, as shown in Figure (b). Become.

<Collection Operation> FIG. 13 shows a sectional view of the cash depositing and dispensing device of the present invention during the collection operation.

When the staff member presses the internal operation section 55 (operation key in FIG. 7) and presses the collection key, the control section 56 (see FIG. 7) is pressed.
In response to this input, the cash depositing and dispensing device 50 (Fig. 7)
A command instructing the start of collection operation is sent to.

When the cash deposit/withdrawal device control unit 80 (FIG. 8) receives a command to start a collection operation from the control unit 56 (FIG. 7), it determines whether this is a forced collection or an automatic collection. In the case of forced collection, all banknotes are unconditionally collected from the denomination storages 8, 9, 10 to the collective storage 11. Further, automatic collection is executed when the number of banknotes stored in any of the denomination storages 8, 9, 10 exceeds a predetermined number. In these cases, the operation mode is set to collection mode, and it is confirmed that the near-full detector 38d of the bulk storage 11 does not detect a near-full.

Furthermore, by referring to the storage contents of the storage management memory 99, it is confirmed that there is still space in the collective storage 11 that can be collected and the number of sheets that can actually be collected. Here, if it is detected that there is no recoverable space left in the batch cassette 11 during the forced recovery mode, a response including status information indicating that the operation is disabled is transmitted to the control unit 56 (FIG. 7), and the process is performed. is canceled. The same applies to automatic collection.

On the other hand, if it is confirmed that there is a recoverable space remaining in the bulk storage 11, the recovery operation is started.

First, when collecting banknotes from the denomination storage 10 that stores 10,000 yen bills, the 10,000 yen bill removal and separation mechanism 22 is activated to remove the banknotes stored in the 10,000 yen bill storage 10 from above. Pay out one by one in order, ■.

It is sent to the discrimination section 4 through the routes ① and ②. Identification part 4
Then, the incoming banknotes are sequentially checked for authenticity and running status, and then sent to the rear.

As a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 4, if two or more overlapping (penetration), skewed, etc. bills are detected, the bills pass through the route of ■, ■, operate the switching gate 16.15, and are transferred to the route of ■, ■. is fed into the reject cassette 7.

As a result of the verification, normal banknotes are placed in the bulk stacking section 3 while being counted.
sent to o. The banknotes fed into the batch stacking section 3o are stacked one after another on the batch partition plate 33. This operation is repeated until the collection target number is reached or there are no more banknotes set in the denomination storage 1o that stores ten thousand yen notes.

If the number of bills stacked on the bulk partition plate 33 reaches the stacking tolerance value, for example 100 bills, the operation of the ten thousand yen bill takeout/separation mechanism 22 is interrupted and the batch storage is performed as described earlier in the replenishment operation. Operations in the warehouse 11 are performed. The collection operations for the other denomination storages 9.8 are similar.

In addition, during the collection operation, the full detector 3 of the bulk storage 11
7d performs full detection, the collection operation is interrupted and the information is sent back to the control unit 56 (FIG. 7). The control unit 56 is
This is displayed on a display section (not shown).

The clerk sees the display indicating that the batch cassette is full and discharges the banknotes stored in the batch cassette 11. In this case, the staff member must
Open the door 41 on the rear of the , pull out the bulk storage 11,
Use the audit key to open the door and take out all the banknotes. Thereafter, the bulk storage 11 is set, the door 41 is closed, and the contents of the storage management memory 99 are all cleared to "O" by the reverse operation, and then the collection operation is restarted.

After that, when the end detectors 39c, 39b, 38a of all denomination storages 8, 9.10 detect the end, each takeout mechanism 20, 21.22 stops, and the last bill is transferred to After reaching , the transport operation stops.

After completing the above processing, the cash depositing and dispensing device controls the control unit 56 (
7), a response indicating completion of collection is sent back, and the counted number of coins collected for each denomination is added to the response. Upon receiving this, the control unit 56 counts and stores the number of collected sheets.

On the other hand, when the collection operation is completed, the cash deposit/withdrawal device control unit 80 (FIG. 8) records the number of collected coins for each denomination collected from each denomination storage 8.9.10 and the storage storage management memory 9.
The contents of the storage management memory 99 are updated by adding the number of coins stored in storage storage management memory 99 for each denomination.

(Effects of the Invention) The cash depositing and dispensing device of the present invention described above has the following usage effects.

(1) Banknotes of two or more denominations used in the device are stored in the bulk storage, and after the cash withdrawal device is installed, they are distributed to the denomination-specific storage and collected as needed. So,
Banknotes can be managed by simply attaching and detaching the bulk storage compartment.

(2) If the bulk storage has a so-called first-in, first-out structure, deposited banknotes are stored in sequence and reused for withdrawals, etc.

Therefore, banknotes can be used efficiently. Moreover, even if the mechanism is small and simple, there will be no excess or shortage of banknotes.

(3) A storage management memory is integrally provided in the bulk storage, and the number of banknotes for each denomination is stored here. Therefore, the cash deposit/withdrawal device can operate smoothly and reliably when distributing cash or collecting cash.

(4) When a shortage of remaining banknotes in the denomination storage is detected, the device refers to the number of banknotes by denomination stored in the storage management memory and automatically replenishes the banknotes from the bulk storage at any time within that range. can be done.

Therefore, it was possible to maintain an appropriate number of banknotes stored in each denomination storage. In addition, maintenance management by staff becomes easier.

(5) When the number of coins stored in one of the denomination storages becomes too large due to deposit transactions, etc., a collection operation can be automatically performed. In this case, the contents of the storage management memory 99 are updated according to the number of collected sheets, so unless the bulk storage is full, no operation by the staff is required, resulting in an extremely high labor-saving effect.

(6) Similar operations can be performed using not only banknotes but also coins and the like.

(7) In addition, when operating multiple cash deposit and withdrawal devices,
By referring to the storage management memory of the bulk storage installed in each device, the bulk storage can be exchanged as needed to achieve appropriate flexibility. Therefore, efficient management of funds becomes possible with simple tasks.

(8) The storage management memory integrated into the bulk storage is
Since it is non-volatile, its contents are preserved even if the bulk storage is removed from the main body of the device. Therefore, even if the bulk storage is attached to another cash deposit/withdrawal device, the operation can be started using the contents of the storage management memory 99 as is. In this case, there is an advantage that the operation can be started immediately without having to count the cash stored in the bulk storage again.

(9) We have provided a memory guarantee means that invalidates the contents of the storage management memory when the door of the bulk storage is opened or closed.
It is possible to clearly distinguish between cases in which the contents of the storage management memory are reliable and cases in which they are not, thereby increasing the reliability of the device.

(10) If the number of coins for each denomination stored in the storage management memory is determined to be invalid, the bulk aggregation means takes out the cash stored in the bulk storage, totals it, and stores the counting result in the storage management memory. Let them count. As a result, even if the stored contents of the storage management memory are invalid, the contents can be automatically corrected and business operations can be restarted.
