Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cash processing device used in financial institutions, and particularly to a cash processing device suitable for effectively utilizing the number of banknotes processed by the device depending on the date and time and region. The present invention relates to a cash processing device.

[Song of invention]

Conventionally, the denomination of the payment box has been fixed, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-3694. However, since one box is provided for denominations that are handled in small quantities, it is disadvantageous in terms of capacity of the device, and there are days and regions where only a certain denomination is used in large quantities. In some cases, additional replenishment may be necessary.

[Purpose of the invention]

The object of the present invention is that instead of fixing each payment box in the cash processing device to one hammer, the clerk can set the denomination for the withdrawal using a setting means such as a switch.
[Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides a setting means that enables the arrangement to switch from a rarely used denomination box to a frequently used denomination box. By providing this, the paper capacity of the apparatus can be effectively utilized. [Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. The cash processing device of this embodiment (as shown in FIG.
,4,6. Payment box 3゜5.7. The denominations of the temporary safe stacker 8, the safe 9, the discriminator 10, the withdrawal reject stacker 11, the conveyance path 12, the belt payment port 13, and each payment box 3, 5.7 can be independently switched to other denominations. It is composed of a switch 14.

The discriminator 10 is provided with a sensor SO for checking the transport control timing of five banknotes, and the transport path 12 is provided with a gate G2. G4. G6. G8° Gll is provided. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a denomination changeover switch provided on the front of the device. The clerk can set the denomination A, B, or C by pressing 8W1.8W2.8W3.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a control section that controls the mechanical section of the cash processing device shown in FIG. 1.

The control unit of the present cash processing device includes a denomination selection switch 14,
The device includes an operation section 16 that is operated by a staff member when starting up the device at the time of joining, an interface section 17 that transmits and receives transaction details and processing status to and from the host machine 18, and a discrimination control section 19 that discriminates banknotes. A sensor reading unit 20 that monitors the status of installed sensors, a gate control unit 21 that switches between gates on the conveyance path, a conveyance control unit 22 that constantly monitors banknotes on the conveyance path, and payment boxes 3, 5, . 7, feeding control units 23, 24, 25
and a main control section 26 that controls the above-mentioned lowering.

Below, we will explain step by step the business start processing, deposit processing, and withdrawal processing of this device. At the start of business, the clerk sets the denomination changeover switch, as shown in FIG. 4. Next, by turning on the power of the device, the main control section 26 shown in FIG. 3 reads the setting state of the denomination changeover switch 14, sets the hammer in each payment box, and enters the state of waiting for the start of business. For example, if you want to set the denomination of the payment box to A, B, or C3 denominations, click the denomination switch S in Figure 2.
W1 is gold type AK, SW2 is gold aB, SW3 is gold a [
After setting it to C, turn on the power of the device.

Next, regarding the deposit processing, see the deposit processing block in Figure 6.

I will explain along Durham.

The deposited banknotes set in the banknote slot 1 shown in FIG. 1 are taken in one by one when the clerk presses the start key (deposit reception) and passes through the sensor SO. These SO passing times are sequentially registered in a buffer on the memory of the main control section as shown in FIG. Next, the banknotes that have passed through the sensor SO are discriminated by the discriminator 10, and the stacking destination is determined for each valley denomination by the setting of the denomination changeover switch. will be registered. When all the papers have been taken in and the transaction is completed, the deposited amount is sent to the host machine, and the deposit is completed. However, if the transaction is unsuccessful and the cancellation key is pressed, the deposited banknotes are returned from each temporary stack to the banknote payout port 13.

It is assumed that while this deposit main program is running, a gate control program as shown in FIG. 8 stops operating due to a regular timer interrupt.

After reading the current time, the gate control program reads the sensor SO appropriate time of the banknote indicated by the gate pointer.

Next, based on the discrimination result, the control time of the corresponding gate is calculated and registered in the buffer on the memory of the main control unit shown in FIG. Next, when the corresponding gate control time for that banknote comes, the gate control section 21 shown in FIG. 3 turns on the corresponding gate. Next, after the sensor reading unit 20 detects that the banknotes are stacked, it is turned off, the gate pointer is updated, and the process returns to the main depositing program.

FIG. 5 shows where each denomination is stacked depending on the setting of the denomination changeover switch. For example, if the denomination selector switch is set to 8W1-A, 8W2-B, or 5W3-C, the banknotes of denomination A among the deposited banknotes will be placed in the temporary stacker 2, and the banknotes of denomination B will be placed in the temporary stacker 4. Then, the gold 4C banknotes are stacked in the temporary stacker 6, the other denominations are stacked in the safe temporary stacker 8, and the unidentifiable banknotes are returned to the banknote payout port 13.

If the first stack destination is full, the process moves to the next stack destination shown in parentheses in FIG. If there are multiple stack destinations, priority shall be given in order from the front.

Next, the withdrawal process will be explained along with the withdrawal master program shown in FIG.

When a withdrawal instruction is accepted from the host machine, the source of the payout box is determined by the matrix shown in FIG. Next, the main control section 26 shown in FIG. 3 instructs each of the dispensing control sections 23 to 25 in turn to determine the timing and number of bills to be dispensed. Next, bills are fed out from each payment box of the IC, and when there is a bill that is determined to be a bad bill by the discriminator 10, the main control unit determines the time when one bill passes the sensor SO, as in the deposit process, as shown in FIG. are registered in sequence in the buffer in memory.

Once the specified number of bills have been dispensed in this manner, the bills are discharged to the bill payout port 13 and the withdrawal is completed.

While this withdrawal main program is operating, a gate control program as shown in FIG. 8 is operated by a regular timer interrupt, similar to the deposit processing.

, in the gate control program, after reading the current time,
When the verified banknote arrives at the gate G11 in FIG. 1, the gate control unit 21 turns on the gate G11,
After the sensor reading unit 20 detects that the banknotes are stacked on the withdrawal reject stacker 11, the gate G11 is turned off, the gate pointer is updated, and the main withdrawal program V shown in FIG. 10 is returned.

FIG. 9 shows the sources from which banknotes of each denomination are fed out, depending on the settings of the denomination switching switch. For example, the denomination switch is 8Wl-A and 5W2-B.

Assuming that the setting is 8W3-C, the main control section 26 in FIG. 3 instructs the dispensing control section 23 in FIG. When the specified number of gold banknotes have been fed out, the payout control unit 24 is instructed to pay out the timing and number of B denomination banknotes.

Once the specified number of B denomination banknotes have been fed out, the payout control unit 25 instructs the timing and number of C denomination banknotes to be fed out. - If there are multiple initial feed-out sources, the next feed-out source shown in parentheses in FIG.

By using the control method described above, each payment box is equipped with a switch that can independently change the denomination, allowing the staff to freely set the denomination, and allowing the difference in the amount of money used depending on the date and time or region to be adjusted in one machine. It becomes possible to include the information in the device.

The means for setting the denomination of each payment box is not limited to the switches in the embodiment, but may also be manually operated by a key, commands from a host machine, or set by a program (floppy disk medium, etc.).

In addition, the present invention is applicable not only to recycle-type cash processing devices but also to payment-only and deposit-only cash processing devices.

Although the above embodiment has a temporary stacker in each payment box, it can also be applied to an apparatus in which temporary stackers are grouped in one place, or to an apparatus without a temporary stacker. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment in which the temporary stacker 15 is provided at one location.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, an attendant can freely set the denomination used in a cash processing device without changing the mechanism, and the banknote capacity of the device can be effectively utilized, so that many users can use it regardless of day and time or region. It has the effect of being applicable.
