Abstract

PURPOSE: To shorten change discharging time by extracting and holding the prescribed number of changes from a storage means and simultaneously discharging the held changes. CONSTITUTION: Under control of a CPU, nine 1,000 YEN notes are extracted one by one from a 1,000 YEN reflux cashbox part 211 and wound around a drum 214 in a superposed state to hold them. On the other hand, four 1,000 YEN notes are extracted and wound around a drum 215 to hold them. When a necessary change amount is matched with the held change amount, the held changes are simultaneously discharged. When a change amount is 1,000 to 3,000 YEN, 1,000 YEN notes are extracted one by one and wound around a drum 216 and then simultaneously discharged. When a change amount is 5,000 to 9,000 YEN, lacking 1,000 YEN notes are extracted and wound around the drum 216, the changes held on the drum 215 are also extracted and both the changes are collectively discharged. If coins are required for changes, a coin processing part is controlled to discharge coins.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention automatically issues tickets such as commuter tickets, tickets (tickets) and designated tickets and releases the necessary change based on the entered issuance information and the entered cash. The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device, and more specifically, to a reduction in change release time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fishing tag releasing process in a conventional ticket issuing device has been started after a purchaser has inserted cash and pressed a fee button for determining a destination. For example, if the purchaser puts in a 10,000 yen bill and purchases a 300 yen ticket, 9
To release the 1,000-yen bills, take the 1,000-yen bills for the bills one by one from the bill storage and wind them one by one on the drum.
After taking out the 1,000-yen bill, the 9 bills were collectively discharged to the bill discharge port.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Passengers have to hurry to purchase a ticket in order to board a train or the like to be boarded.
Moreover, in the case of a ticket issuing device for short-distance tickets, many tickets are less than 1,000 yen, and it is easier for the purchaser to put in banknotes and receive change rather than inserting coins one by one. Therefore, in many cases, if you do not have a 1,000-yen bill, you will often receive a change by inserting a 10,000-yen or 5,000-yen high-value bill.

However, in the conventional ticket issuing device, the purchaser starts the fishing tag releasing process after pressing the fee button. Therefore, as the number of fishing tags increases, the fishing button is released after pressing the fee button. There was a problem that it took a long time (fishing tag release time) to be played. For example, in the above case, if it takes 1 second to release one fishing tag, the fishing tag 9
In the case of one sheet, it takes 9 seconds.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a ticket issuing device which shortens the change discharge time.

Information is printed and recorded on the surface of the original ticket,
The magnetic information of the ticket surface information is magnetically recorded on the back surface of the original ticket to issue a boarding ticket and release it to the ticket ejection port 14.

At the same time, the CPU 17 executes the bill tag processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

First, the CPU 17 depresses the charge button 12 and the bill validator 210 and the coin processor 2 of the bill processor 21.
Based on the payment amount obtained by 0, the amount of change (fishing tag) is obtained (S1).

Next, the amount of the fishing tag is determined (S2),
The fishing tag releasing process is performed according to the determination result.

That is, when the bill is 9,000 yen, the nine thousand bills held in the first drum 214 are discharged to the change discharge port 15 (S3).

When the fishing tag is 4,000 yen, the second drum 21
The four thousand-yen banknotes held in 5 are discharged to the change discharge port 15 (S4).

When the fishing tag is 1,000 to 3,000 yen, the drums 216 are taken out one by one from the 1,000 yen bill circulation safe section 211.
After being wrapped around the periphery of the coin, the coins are collectively ejected to the change ejection port 15 (S5).

When the fishing bill is 5,000 to 8,000 yen, the change due to the shortage of the change retained on the second drum 215 is taken out from the 1,000-yen bill circulation safe section 211 one by one and the drum 2 is used.
16 is wrapped around the drum 16 in a superposed state, and the change retained on the second drum 215 is taken out to take the drum 216.
It is wrapped around the circumference of the above in a superposed state, and both fishing tags are collectively discharged to the change discharging port 15 (S6).

According to the present embodiment as described above, when the amount of change required and the amount of change retained are the same, the change retained on the first or second drum 214, 215 is once changed. Since it is released to the user, the change release time can be shortened. For example, conventionally, if it took 1 second to release one fishing tag, it took 9 seconds to release 9 fishing tags. However, according to the present embodiment, the minimum is 1 second. It will be. In addition, even if the change is held in the second drum 215 and the change is insufficient, the change is released by adding the change to the change and holding the change. Furthermore, if the cash to be input is a high-value banknote of 10,000 yen or 5,000 yen, the change is released at once with a low-value banknote of 1,000 yen. Can be shortened. In addition, since nine thousand-yen bills are held on the first drum 214 and four thousand-yen bills are held on the second drum 215, which are used properly according to the type of high-value bill, In the case of high-value banknotes of 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen, the change discharge time can be shortened.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be modified within the scope of the invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the two drums 214 and 215 are used to hold the fishing tag, but a predetermined number of, for example, four thousand-yen bills, for example, four are held on one drum, and 10,000 and 5 You may make it correspond to a high-value bill of 1,000 yen. Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the change to be held is a 1,000-yen bill has been described, but it may be a coin.
