The banknote P taken into the machine body 10 passes through the pre-inspection transport path 101 and is guided to the inspection section 34. In the inspection unit 34, the banknote P is discriminated in terms of its denomination, shape, front and back, authenticity, correctness, and the like, and is counted. The unit control unit 110 controls the sorting gate 35a based on the discrimination result.
〜35k, and the banknote P is transported to a desired portion.

That is, the banknote P passing through the inspection unit 34
Are determined by the distribution gate 35a and distributed to the deposit reject box 12, and accumulated.
The undecidable bill is set in the slot 11 again and reloaded, or is manually entered into the count data. In addition, the banknotes that are determined to be normal are sent to the sorting gate 35 next.
It is sorted into front and back tickets by b.
It is reversed in the switchback transport path and the front and back are assorted.

The banknotes having both front and back sides are distributed to the distribution conveyance path 40 by the distribution gates 35c and 35d, and furthermore, by the distribution gates 35e to 35g, the temporary storage boxes 41a to 41d corresponding to the denomination and the damage.
Flapper group 45 installed in one of the temporary storage areas
a to 45d.

When it is detected by the accumulation full sensor (not shown) that the accumulation banknotes are full in the temporary accumulation bins 41a to 41d, the flappers 45a and 45b rotate downward by about 90 °, and the accumulated banknotes are Lower flapper 45
c, moved to 45d. When the full state is detected by the accumulation full sensor again, the flappers 45c and 45
Similarly, d rotates downward by about 90 °. As a result, the stacked banknotes are stored in the shutter 47 provided at the bottom of the temporary storage box.
Integrated on top.

Thereafter, when the accumulation of bills is continued and the upper surface of the accumulated bills is detected again by the full sensor, the unit control section 110 first determines that the fullness of the accumulation section is full.
Notify against. Then, the shutter 47 opens left and right by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the accumulated bills are stored in the storage 48.
a to 48d.

Separators 4 are provided in the storages 48a to 48d.
9 and 49 are waiting at the upper end, and the dropped bills fall on the separators 49 and 49. At the same time, the pusher 52 waiting at the upper part of the temporary stacking unit 41 is driven, and all the banknotes remaining in the temporary stacker 41 are stored in the storage 48a.
To within 48d. When this movement is completed, the pusher 52 rises and the shutter 47 is closed. In this state, the next deposited bill can be accepted.

The bills that have fallen on the separators 49, 49 move downward in the storage together with the separators, and stop on the stored bills when there are already bills in the storage. In this state, the separators 49, 49 rotate downward by about 90 °, and retreat from the stacked banknotes in the storage 48.
Thereby, the deposited banknotes on the separators 49, 49 fall onto the stored banknotes, and the operation of depositing the banknotes ends. The separators 49, 49 move upward again through the outside of the stored banknotes, and wait for the next deposit.

During the above-described deposit transaction operation, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 counts the deposited banknotes and sends the counting result to the teller's machine 1. During the deposit operation, the operator inputs deposit data such as a slip amount and an account number via the operation unit 125 of the teller's machine 1. When the counting result from the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 matches the slip amount, the operator presses the completion button, thereby completing the payment transaction. Further, the details of the transaction are recorded by the journal printer 15 of the depositing / dispensing machine 2.

Next, the dispensing operation will be described. First,
The operator inputs withdrawal data such as a withdrawal amount and an account number from the operation unit 125 of the teller's machine 1 and presses a start key. The banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 takes out banknotes from the storages 48a to 48d and pays them out to the cash-out port 14 in accordance with a withdrawal request from the tellers machine 1.

When the dispensing start command is transmitted from the teller's machine 1 to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2, the unit control section 110 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 controls the takeout mechanism 56 of the storage 48 in which the payout banknotes are accumulated. Drive. The take-out mechanism 56 is configured in the same manner as the take-in mechanism 8 that takes in bills from the insertion slot 11.

Thus, the banknotes in the storage 48 are taken out one by one by the takeout mechanism 56, and the number of the taken out banknotes is counted by the takeout counting sensor 57 installed immediately after the takeout port. When the count reaches the specified number of payments, the take-out mechanism 56 stops driving, and the take-out ends.

The picked-up bills are conveyed to a pay-out inspection section 59 through a conveying path 58 below the storage 48, where two bills are taken and denomination is checked. It is sent to the upper dispensing conveyance path. At this time, if there is a problem with the bill, the removal mechanism is instructed to perform additional removal.

After passing through the dispensing inspection section 59, the banknotes pass through the sorting gate 35h, and then enter the upper dispensing conveyance path.
The distribution gate 35i leads the dispensing port 14 side. The bills conveyed to the opposite sides by the sorting gates 35h and 35i will be described later.

The dispensing port 14 is set by the distribution gate 35i.
Of the banknotes conveyed to the side, the banknote determined to have a problem in the withdrawal inspection is guided to the withdrawal reject box 13 by the sorting gate 35j, and the banknote to be withdrawn is withdrawn by the sorting gate 35j. It is accumulated in the mouth 14. Withdrawal port 14
When a designated amount of banknotes is accumulated, the electromagnetic lock (not shown) is released, the outlet 14 is opened, and the banknotes can be taken out. This completes the dispensing process.

The banknotes in each storage box 48 are normally pressed against the feed roller of the take-out mechanism 56 by the weight of the banknotes, so that the banknotes are stably taken out. Then, the backup mechanism 60 is driven to press the bills in the storages 48a to 48d from above. The remaining amount of bills in each storage is detected by detecting the position of the upper surface of the bills in the storages 48a to 48d by a sensor (not shown).

Next, the automatic maintenance operation of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the time for executing the automatic maintenance is arbitrarily set in advance and stored in the memory 124 of the teller's machine 1. For example, before the appropriation process of the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 2
Arbitrary time, such as before the start of bank operations, is set. Then, at an arbitrary set time, the main control unit 114 of the teller's machine 1 inputs an automatic maintenance operation start command to the unit control unit 110 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2.

Then, the unit control section 110 operates the take-out mechanism 63a, takes out the patrol tickets 62a one by one from the first storage 61a, and sends them to the transport path. The retrieved patrol ticket 62a is counted by the sensor 102, and when the counted number reaches the stored number of the patrol tickets, the removal mechanism 63a stops driving and the removal is completed.

The take-out mechanism 63a is configured similarly to the take-in mechanism 8 provided near the inlet 11.

The patrol ticket 62a taken out is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), first, the paper is sent to the end of the lower payment transport path through the payment inspection section 59. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10, the patrol ticket 62 a is transported again to the end of the payment transport path above the temporary accumulating unit 41 through the lower-level payment transport path and the payment inspecting unit 59.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11, the sheet is once accumulated in the slot 11 again through the deposit transfer path, further through the upper dispensing transfer path and the deposit inspection section 34. After all the patrol tickets 62a are accumulated in the insertion slot 11, as shown in FIG. 12, the patrol tickets 62a are taken into the machine body 10 one by one by the take-in mechanism 8, and again the deposit inspection unit 34 and the upper end dispensing conveyance. After passing through the road, it is returned to the first storage 61a.

As described above, when the patrol ticket 62a circulates through each unit in the body 10, the unit control unit 110 detects the patrol ticket by the sensors 57, 100, 102, 103 and the like, and based on the detection signal, each mechanism Various data such as the operation time of the unit, the transport time of the patrol ticket, the skew of the patrol ticket in the take-in mechanism 8, and the transport pitch are acquired and stored in the memory 123.

The unit control section 110 transmits the acquired data to the main control section 114 of the teller's machine 1 when the collection of the patrol ticket 62a is completed. In response, the main control unit 114 compares the transmitted acquired data with the reference data stored in the memory 124 by the data comparing unit 126, and determines that each of the acquired data is included in the normal value range. Is determined. When each of the acquired data is within the normal value range, the main control unit 114 stores the acquired data in the memory 124 as the latest data and transmits the acquired data to the service center via the modem 130.

On the other hand, when finding the acquired data outside the normal value range, the main control unit 114 determines whether or not the mechanism corresponding to the acquired data can return to the normal value range by automatic adjustment. When the automatic adjustment is possible, the automatic adjustment is executed. For example, when the skew value and the transport pitch of the capturing mechanism 8 are out of the predetermined normal value range, the main control unit 114 operates the stepping motor 77 of the capturing mechanism 8 via the unit control unit 110 to
9, the overlap amount d of the gate roller 72 is automatically adjusted to a normal value. Thereby, the capturing mechanism 8 is improved to a normal state.

When the main control unit 114 detects that the output level of any of the sensors is out of the normal value range based on the acquired data, the main control unit 114 transmits the data through the unit control unit 110 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2. Then, the take-out mechanism 63b is operated, and the dust removing tickets 62b are circulated in the take-out machine 10 one by one from the second storage 61b. The removed dust removal ticket 62b travels around the inside of the machine body 10 along the same route as the patrol ticket 62a described above, and at this time, as shown in FIG. 6, cleans the light receiving portion 88a of each sensor. Thereby, the output level of each sensor can be automatically improved to a normal value.

Further, the main control unit 114 of the tellers machine 1
Transmits the acquired data to the service center 132 when it determines that the mechanism corresponding to the acquired data outside the normal value range cannot be automatically adjusted. For example, when a jam occurs during patrol of the patrol ticket 62a, the unit control unit 110 detects the position where the jam occurs and stores it in the memory as data, and reverses the transport mechanism to collect the patrol ticket in the first storage 61a. . At the same time, the teller's machine 1 transmits the acquired data including the jam occurrence position to the service center 132, and ends the automatic maintenance operation.

On the other hand, the service center 132 monitors the operation state of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 based on the acquired data transmitted from the teller's machine 1, that is, the maintenance data. When there is a location, for example, adjustment of a jam occurrence position, a maintenance person goes to the site and performs maintenance.

According to the cash processing system configured as described above, the patrol ticket 62a as a function confirmation ticket can be circulated in the body 10 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 to obtain machine data. By comparing the machine data with the normal value reference data stored in the teller's machine 1, the machine state of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 can be objectively and easily grasped.

If there is machine data outside the normal value range, it is determined that some abnormality has occurred in the banknote pay-in / pay-out device, and if the machine itself can be automatically adjusted, it is automatically adjusted. The aircraft can be kept in a normal condition.

Further, by automatically transmitting the obtained machine data to the service center, the maintenance staff can always grasp and monitor the state of the machine without going to the site. Even if the obtained aircraft data is out of the normal range, if the location of the error is a location that can be automatically adjusted by the aircraft itself, maintenance can be performed automatically by the aircraft itself without the maintenance staff having to go to the site. If the machine state can be determined from the machine data transmitted to the center to be unable to be improved unless adjusted by the maintenance staff on site, the maintenance staff will go to the site for the first time there, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, according to the cash processing system, it is possible to selectively use a function confirmation ticket having a different purpose and a different material for each purpose of maintenance, such as a patrol ticket and a dust removal ticket. Can be performed efficiently.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the data comparison unit is provided in the teller's machine and the automatic adjustment command is output to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device. May be provided.

[0061]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, maintenance and inspection of the aircraft can be performed easily and promptly, and the status of the aircraft can be easily grasped. A processing device and a cash processing system including the same can be provided.
