DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine for performing banknote depositing and withdrawal processing at a counter of a financial institution or a transportation agency, or at a checkout station such as a supermarket, and more particularly, to a bill for depositing a bill. The present invention relates to a banknote pay-in / pay-out device that pays out a fishing banknote in a state where the banknote is temporarily held when it is necessary to throw out the banknote, and stores the banknote after the banknote is completely paid out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At a counter of a financial institution or a transportation agency, or at a checkout station such as a supermarket, a money depositing / dispensing processing system capable of automatically and automatically processing depositing / dispensing of bills and coins has been introduced.

[0003] The above-mentioned money depositing / dispensing processing system registers a bill depositing / dispensing processing machine which performs billing / dispensing processing, a coin depositing / dispensing processing machine which performs coin depositing / dispensing processing, and an amount such as a sales amount and a transfer amount. And a cash register that allows banknotes and coin depositing and dispensing machines to perform deposit and withdrawal processing. This cash register has the function of a POS register at a checkout place such as a supermarket. Terra's machines have the function at the window of transportation and transportation.

[0004] A banknote pay-in / pay-out device used in the above-described system generally uses a banknote inserted into a deposit port for one bill.
A deposit transfer unit for transferring the bills one by one, a deposit identification unit for identifying the bills fed from the transfer unit while transporting the bills, and storing the banknotes identified as depositable in the identification unit by denomination. A denomination-type bill storage unit that can be dispensed one by one, a dispensing unit that ejects bills fed from this storage unit so that they can be taken out of the machine, and stores overflow bills and collected bills in each storage unit. And a collection cassette. The temporary storage unit for the deposited bills may or may not be provided depending on the operation status of the machine.

[0005] In other words, when used at a checkout station such as a supermarket, in order to complete the transaction of receiving and paying money to one customer as quickly as possible, the money deposited from the customer is not taken into the machine and the amount of money is taken. Money entered by depositing only the key is kept in a position visible to the customer until the end of the transaction (until the change is paid and the customer approves). In this case, the storage position functions as a temporary storage unit, and there is no need to return the money when depositing it.Therefore, the machine stores the deposited money directly in the denomination storage unit without providing a temporary storage unit for the deposited money. It is configured as follows.

[0006] On the other hand, when used at a counter of a financial institution or a transportation facility, the amount of money to be deposited is large. Is approved, it is sorted and stored in the denomination storing section, while it is returned when it is not approved, so that a temporary holding section for deposited bills is always provided in the machine.

[0007]

However, in the case of a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine having no temporary holding section, a staff checks a banknote deposited from a customer, inputs a deposit amount by a key, and adds the deposit amount to the keyed-in amount. There is a problem that an error may be caused when a large amount of money is deposited or a counterfeit bill is used because the change is dispensed in response.

[0008] In a banknote pay-in / pay-out machine used at a counter of a financial institution, the payment processing and the payment processing are often performed independently. In other words, there are many cases where there is no relationship between the payment processing and the payment processing, such as performing the payment processing for a certain customer and then performing the payment processing for another customer. The banknotes are arranged so that the banknotes are temporarily stored in the denomination storage section as soon as the payment is approved. If a banknote is entered by key input and a banknote that is greater than the transfer amount is received, and payment processing and payment processing in which the difference between the transfer amount and the payment amount is withdrawn as change is performed as a series of transactions, the payment approval is Despite the fact that the deposit amount has been confirmed and the storage of the banknotes has not been completed, the change cannot be withdrawn, and the handing of the change to the customer will be delayed, and the waiting time of the customer will be prolonged. The response time related to There is a problem that the stagnation at the time of miscellaneous.

[0009] Therefore, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 9-75331, the applicant of the present application needs to identify a deposited bill by a machine and determine the deposited amount, and also to dispose of a deposited bill to a bill. In the case of, when the deposit amount is determined, the banknotes are immediately ejected, and after the handing of the fishing banknotes to the customer is completed, the temporarily stored banknotes are sorted and stored in the denomination storage unit. Banknote dispensing machine was developed.

This bill receiving / dispensing machine includes a deposit bill receiving section for receiving and depositing deposited bills one by one, a deposit identifying section for identifying bills fed from the deposit section, and a deposit identifying section. A batch temporary holding unit that can temporarily hold all the banknotes that have been identified as depositable and can feed out the banknotes one by one, and a bill of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen separately from this The three denomination storage units that can be stored by denomination and can be fed out one by one, and the return bills returned from the batch temporary storage unit and the withdrawal bills fed from the denomination storage unit are external to the machine. And a detachable collecting force cassette for storing overflowing bills and collected bills in the respective storage sections.

However, in the above-described banknote pay-in / pay-out machine, there are a total of four storage units, one for storing the banknotes and one for feeding out the banknotes, a batch temporary storage unit and three denomination storage units. In addition, since there is even a removable collection cassette, there is a limit in reducing the size and cost of the machine.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a deposited bill is mechanically identified, and the deposited amount can be determined in a state where the deposited bill is temporarily held. In this way, the highest bill is not used as a fishing bill, while the effect of the prior application is to be greatly reduced, thereby shortening the waiting time of the customer. In consideration of the two facts that the section is not used, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device is configured to also serve as the maximum amount banknote storage section and the batch temporary holding section, thereby achieving downsizing and cost reduction of the machine. The task is to provide

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides:

After temporarily drawing out necessary fishing bills from the denomination banknote storage unit and dispensing them to the dispensing port, the temporarily stored banknotes held in the maximum amount banknote storage unit are fed out and denominated. A control unit that performs classification storage in the bill storage unit or storage in the collection cassette, wherein the control unit stores the banknotes other than the highest-value banknote stored first in the temporarily stored banknotes. Banknotes In the reverse order at the time of storing and feeding, to the bill other than the maximum amount bill the denomination banknote storage unit,
By storing the highest bills in the collection cassettes respectively, and storing the highest bills stored before the highest bills other than the highest bill stored first without feeding them out, temporarily storing bills. Is controlled so as to be sorted and stored in a predetermined location.

[0014] The controller may be configured to pay out the bill from the highest bill storage unit and to dispense the highest bill when performing only the withdrawal processing.

[0015] The highest bill storage unit includes a first winding roller for winding only the tape, and a second winding roller for winding the tape and the bill together with the bill sandwiched between the tapes. It is preferable to employ a configuration in which bills are stored or fed by causing the tape to be wound and rewound between the first and second winding rollers.

In the case of withdrawal from each of the storage sections 34, 35, and 36, as shown in FIG. 5 (F), the withdrawal is made once to the deposit transfer path 22, and is identified after passing through the withdrawal identification section 24 and then withdrawn. The money is sent from the money transport path 23 to the cash-out unit 25, and is discharged to the cash-out port 5 by the operation of the cash-out unit 25.

[0055] Thus, among the temporarily stored banknotes, the banknotes stored after the banknotes other than the highest banknote stored first are fed out in the reverse order to the storage order, and the banknotes other than the highest banknote are transferred. The highest bills are stored in the denomination banknote storage units 35 and 36 in the collection cassette 27, respectively, and the highest bills stored before the banknotes other than the highest bill stored first are: By placing the banknotes without being extended, the temporarily stored banknotes can be sorted and stored in a predetermined location.

When the storage amount of the ten thousand yen bill in the maximum bill storage part 34 exceeds the specified value, it is necessary to secure a storage area as a temporary storage part. become. That is, FIGS. 6B and 6
Even if the banknotes are temporarily stored in the pattern shown in (D), all the temporarily stored banknotes are paid out, and the highest amount banknotes are collected in the collection cassette 27.

[0057]

As described above, according to the present invention, banknotes stored after the banknotes other than the highest-value banknote stored first in the temporarily stored banknotes are arranged in the reverse order to the order of storage. The banknotes other than the highest-value banknote are stored in the denomination-type banknote storage unit, and the highest-value banknotes are stored in the collection cassette, respectively, and stored before the banknotes other than the highest-value banknote stored first. The maximum amount of banknotes is kept without being extended, so that the temporarily stored banknotes can be sorted and stored in a predetermined location. It is possible to significantly reduce the waiting time of the customer by promptly dispensing fishing bills when the deposit amount is determined, and the maximum bill storage unit is a batch temporary holding unit. Is also used In it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the machine.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the case where only the withdrawal process is performed instead of the dispensing of the bills with respect to the deposited bills, the ten thousand yen bill which is the highest bill can be dispensed.
In addition to withdrawal processing at the window of a financial institution, payment processing at the time of refund of a ticket at the window of a transportation agency and withdrawal processing of a currency exchange principal at a checkout place such as a supermarket can be performed.

Further, according to the storage portion structure of the third aspect, since the tape and the bill are wound together with the highest amount bill storage portion sandwiching the bill between the tapes, the bill is stored. There is no out-of-order or two-sheet payout, and more reliable deposit / withdrawal processing can be performed.
