Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to sorting and counting processing for large transaction accounts, for example, in a cash sorting and counting machine into which banknotes and coins are input in bulk.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, in this type of cash classification and counting machine, multiple transaction numbers (small items) are set for one account number (major item) for a large transaction account, and the classification and counting process for that account number is The cumulative total is stored for each transaction number, and the data of the large transaction account is totaled by the instruction to terminate the large transaction account.

With such equipment, if a power outage failure occurs at the end or start of classification counting by transaction number, after the power is restored, the power outage status is simply printed in the journal, allowing data for large transactions to be correctly aggregated. If this was not possible and the classification and counting of large transaction accounts had to be repeated from the beginning, there would be problems with cash and data aggregation.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent a power outage during data input processing for a transaction number (minor item) in a predetermined account number (major item). It is fully remembered that the instruction to close the large trading account has not been given due to a failure, and by the failure recovery processing of the power outage, data entry processing continues from the transaction number of the large trading account. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data processing device that can perform data aggregation and the like.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, when a power outage occurs during processing of a minor subject in a major subject, the present invention retains the fact that the minor subject in the major subject is being processed, and after the power failure recovers. This data processing device does not divide the transaction tally of the major items because the cumulative processing of the minor items is performed on the major items before the power is turned off.

The short-side conveying section 9 configured in this manner sequentially transports the banknotes P sent out from the direction changing section 42 to the conveying belts 53 to 53.
57 while being held in the short direction. As a result of the denomination discrimination by the detection unit 15, if the denomination of the banknote being conveyed on the short side is, for example, a -10,000 yen banknote, the rotary solenoid (not shown) is energized and the sorting gate 58a is opened at the fourth The bill is rotated upward from the state shown in the figure, and the banknote is guided by the sorting gate 58& and conveyed downward in FIG. The state will be restored. In the case of a 1,000 yen bill, the sorting gate 58b operates in the same manner as described above, and in the case of a 1,000 yen bill, the sorting gate 58c operates in the same manner as described above. In the case of a 100 yen bill, it is naturally guided by the sorting guide 59 and conveyed downward. The banknotes (9) that are being conveyed laterally are thus sorted by denomination by the sorting section 51.

Further, the accumulation section 12 includes a first temporary accumulation section 11 provided below the sorting gate 58a, a second temporary accumulation section 112 provided below the sorting gate 58b, and a second temporary accumulation section 112 provided below the sorting gate 58c. and a fourth temporary accumulation section 114 provided below the sorting guide 59.

is at the starting end 77b of the cam $77 m, the straight line connecting the axis of the reversible motor 76 and the center of the cam holder (12) oror 79 is at the cutting plate 71°720
Since the dead center is approximately parallel to #1 in the direction of movement, manual opening and closing of the cutting plates 71 and 72 can be prevented, and the safety of banknotes stored in the safe 131 (132, 133, 134), which will be described later, can be prevented. Although not shown, a timing cam is attached to the tip of the motor shaft of the reversible motor 76, and the cam follower 79 is connected to the starting end 77b and the terminal end of the cam groove 77a. 77c, a microswitch (not shown) is activated, and the rotation of the reversible motor 76 is controlled via an appropriate control device based on the output from this microswitch. .

The concrete structure of the safes 13□, . . . is as shown in FIG. 5, and they are located below the partition portion 63 and are detachably attached to the main body 3.

This safe13. (132, 133, 134) have an upper end opening 67a, a storage chamber 67b is formed inside, and a cover plate guide groove 67c is provided along the upper edge (13). The upper opening 67ai of the safe can be closed and locked if necessary. Near the upper end of the safe 131, transparent holes 67d of the detector 80 are formed facing each other.

A backup board 81 is inserted into the safe 131.

One end of this back-up plate 81 protrudes from a vertically elongated guide hole 82 formed in one side wall of the safe 13□. The elevator mechanism 83 is engaged with this protruding end. In other words, two goos I are pivoted apart from each other in the vertical direction.

The protruding end of 1 engages with the groove 87a of the hook 87, and when the detector 80 detects the passage of a banknote, the drive motor 86 is driven, and the back-up plate 81 is connected to the safe 13□.
It is now possible to gradually descend inside. and safe 1
31 in the direction of the recessed groove (14) 37a, the back-up plate 81 can be connected to the recessed groove 87a. When the grooved cam 77 is rotated in the direction of arrow j,
The cam lever 78 is rotated in the direction of the arrow by the action of the cam follower 79 that engages with the cam groove 77a. This rotation is transmitted to the second partition plate 72 via the retaining groove 72b. In such a storage section 14, there are two stages consisting of the first and second partition plates 71, 72, etc. Since the type partition groove 66 is provided, the movement space required to open and close the cutting plates 71 and 72 can be reduced to about half that of the conventional one-stage type, and the safe 131, . As a result of narrowing the interval between the coins, it becomes possible to downsize the storage device.The coin processing device 2 distinguishes and sorts all the coins C input from the hopper 31, and then separates them for each denomination (15 coins). ) A plurality of temporary accumulation units 32□, 322.3233

FIG. 6 shows the entire electrical circuit.

That is, the control unit 100 stores in the storage unit 101 the number of banknotes P and coins C for each denomination that have been fully processed, based on signals indicating denominations, authenticity, front and back, etc., and account numbers supplied from the detection unit 15. Number of sheets in memory (storage unit) 103,
The number of sheets consisting of ... is stored in the memory area, and the total amount when stored.

, 32□, . . . The storage unit 101 stores the number of sheets for each
In addition, the printing unit 10
Step 2 prints them out and publishes a friend journal. For example, as shown in FIG.
The denomination signal from the detection unit 15 is added to an adder 111.
1 (16) . . . and the result of the addition is stored in the number memo 1J103, . . . to store the counted contents. Also, note the number of sheets above! The outputs of J 103, . . . are output to the storage section 101 via AND circuits 112, . Note that the outputs of the sheet number memory 103, . . . are outputted to the display unit 4 as a display signal.

The storage unit 101, ie, the sheet number memory 103, etc., are backed up by a battery (backup power source) 113.

Further, the control unit 100 converts the operating status of the equipment, such as a change in the equipment status, information on the occurrence of an abnormality, and the time of occurrence, into an error code, and causes the printing unit 102 to issue a journal in which the operating status is printed. Further, the control section 100 includes a mechanism control section 104 that drives the internal mechanism.
It controls the Furthermore, the control section 100
In response to the detection signal from the failure detection unit 105 (17), when the count contents of the sheet count memory 103, . At the same time, the storage section 101' is backed up by a battery 112. Further, the control unit 100 determines failure recovery when the detection signal is no longer supplied from the failure detection unit 105, and then determines a print command from the reset key 25, thereby storing the information in the state storage area in the storage unit 101. The status before the error occurred is number of sheets memory 103.
When it is determined that the count contents of , .

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, the operator now sets the mode designation switch 21 to operator mode, aligns the directions of the banknotes P, inserts them all at once into the input slot 6 in a standing position, and inserts the counting start key 23. Then, (18) the control section 100 drives the mechanism control section 104 and lights up the counting start key 23.

Thereby, the banknote P is conveyed to the detection unit 15 on the longitudinal conveyance path 9, and the detection unit 15 detects the denomination of the banknote P that has been conveyed,
Detects authenticity, integrity, etc.

As a result, the banknotes P are sorted into separate temporary stacking units 1111 . . . for each denomination according to the amount determination result.

-! In addition, the control unit 100 adds the number of coins for each denomination sorted and accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 111, . . .
. . are used to count the number of sheets in the number memory 103, . . . and display the counted number of sheets on the corresponding number display 41a.
~41d. Then, when all the banknotes P input at once are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 1111..., the control section 100 stops the mechanism control section 104 and turns off the counting start key 25. Next, when the operator inserts the storage key 24, the control section 100 lights up the storage key 24, determines the print command, and drives the mechanism control section 104 to store the cash in the safe 131... 19) Close. At this time, when the storage key 24 is inserted, the gate of the AND circuit 112 opens, and the sheet number memory 1
The number of coins for each denomination of 03, . . . is output. As a result, the control unit 100 counts the total amount, the total number of coins, etc., stores the counting result and the number of coins for each denomination in the cumulative storage area of the storage unit 101, and also
Then print it on the journal.

When a failure such as a power cut or no journal occurs while the printing unit 102 is printing, the failure is detected by the failure detection unit 105 and a detection signal is output. Then, the control unit 100 determines a failure based on the detection signal, and stores the status at this time, that is, the status of the printing unit 102 printing the number of sheets for each denomination, etc., in the status storage area in the storage unit 101. At this time, the storage unit 101 such as the sheet number memory 103 . . . is backed up by the battery 113.

Then, when the fault such as a power cut or no journal is recovered, the fault detector 105 no longer outputs a detection signal. Then, the control unit 100 determines that the failure has been recovered and turns on the reset key 24. As a result, the operator inserts the reset key 24. Then, the control unit 100 determines the print command based on the signal from the reset key 24, reads out the status before the occurrence of the failure from the status storage area of the storage unit 101, and the status is determined as the storage data of each denomination for the series of banknotes P. If it is determined that the print unit 102 is in the middle of printing, the contents of the sheet number memory 103, .
Issued by 02.

In this way, if a failure occurs during the issuance (printing) of a storage journal when storing cash that has been inserted in bulk, such as the power of the device being turned off or the journal running out, the counting contents will be retained and the system will be able to store it when the failure is cleared. , all counts are printed from the beginning. This makes it impossible to perform unauthorized printing, and also makes it impossible to perform unauthorized printing.
) It's getting easier.

It should be noted that the same operation as described above occurs when coins Ct are used as cash.

Further, the explanation will be made with reference to the 7-stitch chart shown in FIG. First, a classification counting process for an account having multiple transaction accounts will be explained. That is, the operator presses the account number key 26 and inputs the account number for which the classification and counting process is to be performed using the numeric keypad 22 (ST1).

Next, press the transaction number key 120e and enter the transaction number for which the classification and counting process will be performed first using the numeric keypad 22 (S
T2). Then, proceeding to ST3, the cash corresponding to the transaction number is divided into banknotes P and coins C, banknotes P are placed in the input slot 6 in a standing position with the direction aligned, and coins C are placed in the hopper 37. Next, the process proceeds to ST4, and by pressing down the counting start key 23, the control section 100 drives the banknote processing device 1 and the coin processing device 2. At this time,
The counting start key 23 lights up. Thereby, the banknote P is conveyed (22) to the detection unit 15 on the longitudinal conveyance path 9, and the detection unit 15 detects the denomination of the banknote P that has been conveyed,
Detect authenticity, etc. Based on this detection result, the control unit 10
0 counts the number of coins for each denomination and calculates their total amount. In addition, the coin C put into the hopper 31
are sequentially counted and sorted by denomination, and based on the counting results, the control unit 100 counts the number of coins for each denomination and calculates their total amount (Sr1). At this time, the control unit 10
0 stores the number, amount, total amount, etc. of each denomination of banknotes P1 and coins C along with their account numbers and transaction numbers in the storage unit 1.
The data is stored in the storage areas 01 and 103. Then, when the counting of the inserted cash is completed (Sr1
) The control unit 100 turns off the counting start key 23.

When the light goes out, the operator advances to 8T7 and enters the storage key 2.
Press down on 4. Then, the control unit 100 controls each collection box 11.
The banknotes P and coins Ct accumulated in 32 are stored in corresponding safes 13 and 34, and storage units 101 and 10
3. Totalize the classification count contents. In addition, the control unit 100
(23) The printing unit 102 is made to issue a storage journal with the date and time as well as the tally contents (Sr8). Thereafter, the cash classification and counting process for other transaction numbers in the above account number operates in the same manner as above, and the total results are stored in the storage units 101 and 103.
is memorized.

And the classification and counting process for all transaction numbers has been completed! (Sr9), When the operator inputs the same account number as the account number input above (STIO), the control unit 100 determines that processing for all transaction numbers for that account number is complete, and tallies the transactions for that account number. The journal and authentication printout are issued by the printing unit 102 and the process ends (STII).

However, if a power outage failure occurs during processing for a series of transaction numbers for one account as described above, that is, after issuing a storage journal for one transaction number, or during classification and counting processing for one transaction number. When this occurs, after the power is restored, the power outage status is printed in the journal and a classification and counting process is performed for a series of transaction numbers for one account c24
) The detection signal from the fault detection unit 105 is stored in the status storage area (status holding means) in the storage units 101 and 103.
By inputting the transaction number consecutively (continuously) to the transaction number corresponding to the account number before the power was cut off (8T2), the operation will be the same as the transaction number above, and the processing result will be The storage unit 101.10 stores the cumulative total.

An account with a large number of trading accounts like this (large trading account)
Even if a failure occurs due to a power outage during processing, the transaction that was before the power outage can be continued and classified counting processing is performed. Therefore, for cash management purposes, it is not divided into separate processing, but is treated as a series of transactions classified and counted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, even if a power outage failure occurs during data input processing for a minor subject in a predetermined major subject, the entire data input process for minor subjects in the major subject before the power outage is completed. Since it can be continued, it is possible to provide a data processing device that enables the transaction aggregation (cumulative total) of large items to be classified and counted as a series of processes without having to be divided.
