Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plurality of banknote automatic machines, such as automatic deposit/withdrawal machines, automatic teller machines, and money changers, which are placed in each branch of a bank to automatically deposit and withdraw money. The present invention relates to a banknote processing system that manages and operates handling machines in groups.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, various types of automation have progressed at each bank, and mechanization corners have been set up not only at the main branch of the bank but also at each branch.
Automatic deposit/withdrawal machine (Automate, Tochi 2-z machine: A
TM) and automatic teller machines (cash dispensers: C
D), etc. 2 to 3 machines at a branch with few, 1 at a branch with many
Several machines have been installed and can be operated by customers themselves, contributing to labor savings at bank counters.

In conventional automatic teller machines, cash deposited by customers is stored in a device called a deposit unit;
Payment of banknotes to customers was carried out using cash that had been loaded in advance by the bank in a unit called a dispensing unit. For this reason, when the number of installed machines increases, automatic teller machines (ATMs)
The amount of cash accumulated within the branch is said to be enormous, and the interest burden alone is said to be 300,000 to 400,000 yen per day per branch. In order to eliminate this waste, automatic teller machines (ATMs) that use a recycling method (circulation method) have been developed in recent years and are beginning to be put into practical use.

The recycling method is a method in which the deposit and withdrawal units of an automatic teller machine (ATM) are combined into a single unit, and the banknotes deposited by a customer are directly used for payment to other customers. Teller, who is a bank teller, can reduce the amount of cash he has on hand by using this method.

Before this method could be put into practical use, major technical problems had to be solved.

(1) In principle, deposited banknotes are accepted no matter how dirty they are, but paid banknotes must be verified to be good or damaged by the bank. For this reason, it is necessary to provide banknote inspection with a precise function to determine whether the banknote is intact or defective.

(2) Since deposited banknotes are deposited by customers with different fronts and backs and with mixed bill types, a stacking section that counts and stores the banknotes on the banknote type side and a front-back reversal mechanism that performs the front-back reversal mechanism are provided. There is a need.

(3) A sophisticated stacking/taking mechanism is required to store deposited banknotes with folds and wrinkles and then take them out one by one again for withdrawal.

Although these problems were solved one by one and a recyclable automatic teller machine was put into practical use, the following problems arose when it was actually used in branch offices.

(1) The inflow and outflow of 10,000 yen banknotes is almost balanced, and the benefits of recycling are great, but for 1,000 yen banknotes, payments are overwhelmingly greater, and there are many opportunities for replenishment, which takes time and effort for bank employees.

(2) Analyzing the usage status of branches and assigning automatic machines to the frequency of use for deposits and withdrawals, automatic teller machines (ATs)
M) Two automated teller machines (CDs) Three automated teller machines (CDs) are the most efficient system configuration, but since automated teller machines (CDs) are only used for payments, it takes time for bank employees to collect money.

Therefore, from the point of view of the system configuration of the branch, simply adding a recycling function to each automatic teller machine (ATM) can be expected to improve cash efficiency, but it is unlikely to have any effect in terms of saving staff's labor. Can not.

Moreover, near the end of business hours, automated teller machines (CDs)
Even if information is received from an automatic teller machine (ATM) (warning that the amount of banknotes remaining is low), the staff can only replenish a small amount of cash. , the cash is transferred to an automatic teller machine (ATM)
Regardless of whether it is in the automatic teller machine (CD) or paid to a customer, the branch's accounting funds at that time will decrease, so withdrawals from cashiers and cashiers will be limited to the minimum amount. Therefore, only a small amount could be replenished, and two or three staff members were running around among the five to 10 automatic machines.
The reality is that machines that generate near-end alarms one after another are refilled in small quantities.

In order to solve these problems, we came up with the idea of managing automated equipment across the group. However, with this method, (1) all banknote refilling is done in a separate unit called a centralized remote monitor (CRM), which requires more than the cost of one automated teller machine; Costs are getting higher.

(2) Automatic teller machine (ATM), automatic teller machine (CD)
Replenishment of banknotes is done by exchanging banknotes, and when replenishing banknotes to multiple automatic teller machines (CD), GRM is required for each one.
The mobile trolley called (Group Recycling Module) returns to the central processing machine (CRM), fills the empty safe cassette with banknotes, and then exchanges it with the safe of the automated teller machine (CD). If you look at it, it will take a lot of time and there is a risk that the down time of the machine will be extended by that amount.
ineffective.

(3) Even when replenishing a small amount of banknotes, the mobile trolley (GRM) performs the same operation as when replenishing a large amount of banknotes, so it takes a lot of processing time.

(4) If you close all the machines after business hours and try to inspect them, automatic teller machines (ATMs) can inspect the machines themselves, but they must be transported to a centralized machine (CRM). , Since the central machine (CRM) performs the inspection operation again and distributes and stores the items in each storage safe, there are duplicate operations.
It's a waste. In addition, in the case of an automatic teller machine (CD), the safe is removed and inspected only once at the centralized machine (CRM), but due to the system configuration, automatic teller machines (ATM) and automatic teller machines (CD) are the same. It can be said that there is an inconsistency in the system construction when two different operations occur in a single operation on a high-ranking device.

As mentioned above, there are many deficiencies in group recycling using the safe exchange method, so it has been hoped that a new, cleaner group recycling method will be developed.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to enable group management of a plurality of automatic banknote handling machines without replacing safes, and to improve capital efficiency and labor saving. It is an object of the present invention to provide a banknote processing system that can easily and reliably inspect a plurality of automatic banknote handling machines.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention moves between a plurality of automatic banknote handling machines, sends out υ banknotes from these automatic banknote handling machines, and receives banknotes from these automatic banknote handling machines. This mobile banknote handling machine is controlled as one of the slate terminals for the master machine of multiple automatic banknote handling machines, and the multiple banknote handling machines are controlled according to inspection commands from the master machine. The automatic banknote handling machine accepts and stores banknotes one by one, and displays the bill type and storage details on the display section of the mobile banknote handling machine, making it easy and reliable to inspect the banknotes without the need for staff to go around tightening each machine one by one. It was designed so that it could be done.

3 also has full detection for each denomination 28b1 insufficient remaining amount detection 28
IL is given 9.

Therefore, a case will be described in which the insufficient remaining amount detection 28m of the thousand yen banknote stacking section 33 of the safe cassette 13 is activated.

With reference to FIGS. 1 and 10, a case will be described in which bills P are replenished using the master machine of the teller's teller withdrawal machine (OTM) 7, which is a terminal used by an attendant. Mobile bill handling machine (GRM) When the remaining amount of the 12,000 yen banknote P is running low and the remaining amount shortage detector 2Bm is activated, central remote control is sent through the optical communication transmitter/receiver 50 of the mobile bill handling machine (GRM) Jj. An alarm was issued to the monitor (CRM) I o o, and the specified amount was sent to the teller deposit/withdrawal machine (OTM) 7 and the automatic teller deposit/withdrawal machine (A'rM) 9.
An inquiry will be made as to whether the

This means that if the accumulation capacity up to the fullness detector 211b of each machine is, for example, 2,000 bills in each bill storage section, then the remaining amount shortage detector 28 & sets the maximum number of bills to be paid as 100 bills, and adds some margin to this. Since the number of sheets is about 120, the software inquires whether there is a machine that has over 700 sheets, for example, and if there is one, it will go to that machine and perform the replenishment operation described above. Banknote handling machine (GRM) J j safe uni)
Replenish JJ with banknotes P.

If there is not enough room for all the machines, use a mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) 12 for teller deposits and withdrawals @
(OTM) Run behind the master machine number 7 and stop. Teller deposit/withdrawal machine (OTM) 70 There is a display on the operation panel (not shown) that shows which denomination of the mobile banknote handling machine (G (Foundation) 12) is in short supply. Look at the display and ask the teller to withdraw cash.

The cashier withdraws the cash from the teller machine (
OTM) When set in the deposit slot 26 of J4, banknotes P
pass through the inspection section 24, and only those that are correctly counted are stored in the accumulation sections 33 and 34 of the safe unit 13. Further, the rejected banknotes P are returned to the payout port 21 and set again by the staff in the deposit port 26).

Then, the denomination and number of banknotes P loaded by the clerk are determined through the optical communication transmitter/receiver 29 and 50 by the memory of the recycle control device 36 as a control means on the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) side. is memorized.

Here, there are 12 mobile banknote handling machines (GRM),
) J, 9 is a teller teller machine (OTM). In the case of 7, it moves in the front and back direction to join the conveyance paths 11 and 10, but in the height direction, it is also a teller teller machine (OTM).
) 7. Automatic teller machine (CD) 9. Automatic teller machine (AT)
M) 8 are different, so lift motor 3
By driving the pinion 9 and moving the lever 41 by the pinion 40, the vertical alignment is performed.

When inspecting banknotes P after business hours, etc., a mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) 12 is a plurality of automatic banknote handling machines 1,
It is controlled as one of the slave terminals for the master machine in 8.9, and if the master machine goes around each machine one by one and receives the cash one by one according to the inspection command from the master machine, it will count the cash in all the machines and calculate the total count. By using the liquid crystal display 44 as the display section of the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) J

However, in this case, the rejects due to stacking etc. in each machine are stored in the paste reject banknote storage section 25 of each machine, so the staff member has to collect them by hand. Mobile banknote handling machine (GRM)
Since it is stored in 12, it can be examined carefully in a very short period of time.

Also, when loading banknotes P into all machines first thing in the morning, so-called automatic loading, the deposit port 2 of the teller's teller withdrawal machine (OTM) 7 is used.
6. Insert banknotes P one after another into the mobile banknote handling machine (GR).
M) After storing the banknotes P in 12, store the banknotes P in each machine.
It is only necessary to distribute the amount by replenishment, which shortens the processing time for the staff.

For this purpose, if the number of 10,000 yen bills P and 1,000 yen bills P to be set in each machine is approximately 700, then one mobile banknote handling machine (GRM), 12, should be installed for every 5 machines. If so, a mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) 12 with a large capacity of 3500 sheets is desirable.

In addition, when picking up (accepting) banknotes P from each machine, the rejected banknotes P were stored in the reject banknote storage section 25, but these were stored in the 5,000 yen banknote storage section 12 of the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM). It may be stored in the section 35, which can further save time and effort.

In this case, the rejected banknotes P of 10,000 yen bills P and 1,000 yen banknotes P when replenishing the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) 12 are also collected in the original dispensed banknotes of the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) 12. If the banknote is stored in the 5,000 yen bill storage section without being returned to section 33 or 34, manual inspection will be required for the 5,000 yen banknote storage section. However, in reality, the rate of insertion of 5,000 yen bills P into an automatic teller machine (ATM) 7 is only 1 per cent, and the rate of double withdrawal due to withdrawal, inspection, and replenishment operations is also t.
? i' Since the number of units is 0.11, the total number of sheets will be no more than about 100 in a day, and if it is configured with 7 or 8 units, counting by hand will not be as effective as the labor saving effect and will have almost no influence.

In addition, mobile bill handling machine (GRM) 12 rails 15.
A teller room is installed on the extension line of 15, and a mobile banknote handling machine (G
RM) In some cases, the teller staff will directly see how the 12 banknotes P are handled. In this case, since a sensor for the banknotes P is not required, it is more convenient to load the banknotes P into the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) 12 by hand in units of 100 sheets after cutting the band.

At that time, the safe unit 13 serves as a banknote handling unit with a key.
Open the top lid 37 of the
Then, a 10,000 yen bill P is set in the 10,000 yen bill stacking section 34.

The following machines include Noya 1D and mobile banknote handling machine (GR).
M) J2 The mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) records how many denominations and how many coins the teller has set in the counting process.
In order to input to the recycling control device 36 of the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) Jj, the operating keys as an input means are input using the -do 43 and staff management keys. If you do this, it will be a normal teller withdrawal machine (OTM).
7. You can manage the subsequent entry and exit of machines with the same reliability as when counting and loading machines.

Furthermore, alignment between the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) J 2 and the automatic banknote handling machine 1, 8.9 is usually difficult and expensive as very strict precision is required. To help with this, some misalignment can be absorbed by flexibly supporting the mobile banknote handling machine (GRM) (12 safe units) JJ. This flexible support method is safe.

This can be achieved by supporting the seat 13 with a bearing that can rotate both horizontally and vertically, and by adding some modifications to this bearing mechanism.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, there are banknote retrieval/accumulation parts 20, 21, and 22 as banknote storage/feeding means inside.
The automatic banknote handling machine 8゜9 has a banknote conveyance path 10゜10, which sends banknotes to the outside of the machine and receives banknotes P from the outside of the machine, from the side end of the machine to a place where it enters the inside of the machine. In addition to providing the above-mentioned banknote takeout/accumulation section 20, 21゜2
A lockable protection is provided to cover the banknote P, so that the banknote P cannot be touched from the outside.

According to the above embodiment, if one or two mobile bill handling machines are prepared in order to manage a plurality of bill handling machines as a group, labor-saving bill replenishment and automatic single recycling system can be achieved. It is possible to effectively improve the fund efficiency of the deposit/withdrawal device, save labor in loading and checking, and, compared to the safe exchange method, there is no need for a centralized machine (CRM). If you prepare a large number of safes, there will be no need for safes. Workability is good. It has many effects such as.
