Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the teller of another station from throwing in a paper money into a money receiving port by mistake by keeping a retaining plate in a closed state during an occupied period before received paper money is counted and the counting is settled. CONSTITUTION:When some teller executes money receiving operation at his own station, and the counting is finished, the retaining plate 33 is not opened, and kept in the closed state. When a stop command is issued from a host machine while the retaining plate 33 is kept in the closed state, a counted amount is settled, but the retaining plate 33 is left closed still as it is. Besides, if the retaining plate 33 is in an opened state, it is controlled so as to be closed. Further, when processing progresses, and the reception of the money is completed, a reset command responds to it and the occupancy of his own station is released, and the retaining plate 33 is opened for the first time. On the other hand, if counted result is not OK, and in addition, the counting is to be executed additionally, the whole counting of the received money is cancelled by a reset/clear command, and at the same time as the retaining plate 33 is opened, a machine is returned to a ready state. Then, if there is the addition of the counting, the retaining plate 33 is opened in response to the operation of start/ reset buttons 35L, 35R.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a money depositing machine, and more particularly to a money depositing machine for two persons, which is used in banks and the like, and can be shared by left and right tellers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In such a two-person depositing machine, when one teller deposits money, a bill holder (hereinafter referred to as a retainer plate) is set in a deposit opening in which the bill is held, and then the exclusive start is started. In response to the pressing of the key, the holding plate is closed and the counting of bills is started. When the counting is finished, the holding plate is opened immediately.

At this time, an exclusive lamp is provided in order to clearly indicate which of the left and right tellers is in use.
The lamp on the occupied side is on.

In the above state, when it is desired to perform additional counting after counting once, additional bills are set in the deposit opening in which the holding plate is opened, and the additional counting is performed in response to the subsequent pressing of the exclusive start key. It is possible.

When rejects occur frequently during counting and the reject port becomes full, counting is stopped and the holding plate is opened. After counting all the deposited banknotes, a counting stop command and a storage command are issued from the host machine, and the holding plate remains open during the processing operation according to the counting stop command and the storage command.

In such a conventional two-person specification depositing machine, for example, the teller at the left station first performs deposit counting and counting, and when the counting is completed, the holding plate is opened. If further bills are set on the bills set at the left station for additional counting and the exclusive start key is pressed, the counting process is restarted.

Since the teller does not have any problem because the counting is done by a machine, it has a drawback that it believes the wrong result of counting the wrongly set bills of the left station and performs the processing.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the processing flow of a conventional depositing machine of this type. In the ready state, the holding plate is open (steps 1 and 2), and when a teller sets a bill in the deposit port and operates the start key (step 3), the own station occupied lamp lights and the holding plate closes. (Step 4).

Immediately after the counting is finished and the pressing plate is opened (step 5), the counting result is reported to the host machine (step 6). If the counting result is correct (step 7), a stop command is issued from the host machine (step 8), and the counting amount is confirmed (step 9).

If the counting result is not correct in step 7, it is judged whether or not the counting is added (step 10).
At this time, if there is no addition, all the deposit counts are canceled by the reset or clear command (step 11), and the state returns to the ready state (step 12). Step 10
If the count is added, the process returns to step 3.

When the counted amount is confirmed in step 9, a store command is issued from the host machine (step 13), and the bills held in the temporary holding unit are first stored in the cassette (step 14). When the deposit is completed (step 15), the exclusive command is released by the reset command (step 16).

In such a conventional method, as shown in step 5, the pressing plate is immediately opened in response to the end of counting, so that the above-mentioned drawbacks occur.

[0013]

It is an object of the present invention to prevent a wrong account from being reset by another station while it is occupied by another station so as to prevent the other banknotes from being merged with and counted by the own station. Is to provide a machine.

[0014]

According to the present invention, there is provided a two-person specification depositing machine in which left and right tellers can be used in common, and means for controlling the bill holder in a closed state in response to a depositing operation of one of the tellers.
A depositing machine characterized in that the occupancy period until counting and confirming the deposited bills includes a control means for maintaining the bill retainer in a closed state.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an example of a processing flow showing an embodiment of the present invention, and steps equivalent to those in FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.
When a certain teller makes a deposit operation at his station, the process proceeds to steps 1 to 4 (the same as steps 1 to 4 in FIG. 2),
When the counting is completed, the holding plate is not opened but is maintained in the closed state (step 5a). When the steps 7 and 8 are processed and the stop command is issued from the host machine while the pressing plate is in the closed state, the count amount is fixed.
But the presser plate is still closed. If the holding plate is open, it is controlled to be closed.

Further, the processing of steps 13 to 15 is performed,
If the deposit is completed, the occupancy of the own station is released in response to the reset command, and the holding plate is first opened (step 1).
6a).

If the counting result is not OK in step 7 and the counting is added in step 10, all the depositing counts are canceled by the reset / clear command in step 11 and the presser plate is opened and at the same time ready. It returns (step 12a).

If the counting is added in step 10, the pressing plate is opened in response to the operation of the start / reset button (step 17a), and the process returns to step 3.

FIG. 3 is a schematic external perspective view of the depositing machine 30 for two persons. 31L and 31R are reset buttons for left and right stations, 32 is a deposit port, 33 is a holding plate, 34 is a reject port, 35L, 35R shows the start / stop buttons of the left and right stations, respectively.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the banknotes in the apparatus. The banknotes deposited from the deposit port 32 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 37 via the deposit supervision section 36 by denomination. Then, in step 14 of FIG. 1, these temporary holding banknotes are finished by the denomination in the cassette 38 again. It may be rejected to the reject port 34.

Here, if the number of non-discriminating tickets increases during the counting of the deposit, the reject port may become full, but at this time, the deposit counting operation is temporarily stopped. At this time, the holding plate is still closed. However, since it is necessary to remove the reject banknotes and set them again in the deposit port and recount, open the retainer plate for about 2 seconds after rejecting the reject banknotes.
During this time, the teller controls so that the reject bill can be set again in the deposit port.

Further, in consideration of the additional deposit, when there is no bill in the deposit port, the additional deposit can be made by opening the holding plate in response to the operation of the start button.

Further, even when there are banknotes in the deposit port due to frequent rejects or operation mistakes, it is possible to remove the banknotes from the deposit port by opening the holding plate in response to the reset button operation when counting is stopped. Become.
