Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a single banknote storage and payment device, and more particularly to a banknote storage and payment device that reuses deposited banknotes as disbursed banknotes.

[Background of the invention]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, bill storage and payment devices have been able to reuse deposited bills as disbursed bills. In this case, if the banknotes are equipped with a front-back reversing function, both the banknotes inserted with the front side facing up and the banknotes inserted with the back side facing up can be recycled and used as dispensing banknotes. In devices without this, only the front notes of the deposited banknotes are recycled, and the back notes are not recycled, resulting in a problem that the usage efficiency of each banknote is low. On the other hand, in the case of Shingeki tickets, which have a small difference in characteristics between the front and back sides of a banknote, the rate of mixture of reverse notes is high, and the efficiency of the device that does not have the function of reversing the front and back sides as described above is further reduced. However, devices equipped with a front-back reversing device are expensive, and cash processing devices for tellers, for example, are required to be downsized due to installation space.

An example of a conventional banknote storage/payment device without a front-back reversal function is the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 79388/1983. In this device.

Both the front and back tickets are reused as banknotes for withdrawals.

In this way, conventionally, there are devices that reuse the front ticket and back ticket as banknotes for withdrawal without distinguishing between them, and devices that reuse only the front ticket as banknotes for withdrawal. It is designed to be used by being fixed to one side. However, the former mode improves capital efficiency, and the latter mode improves customer service, so it is preferable to switch between the two modes as needed rather than using them permanently. There is no known conventional device that can be used by switching between these two modes.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to improve such conventional problems and provide a mode in which front and back tickets are reused as dispensing banknotes without distinguishing them, and a mode in which only front tickets are reused as dispensing banknotes. To provide a banknote storage and payment device which can be used by switching between modes.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the banknote storage and payment device of the present invention distinguishes the denomination of the deposited banknotes and stores them in safes according to the denomination, and the banknotes stored in the safes are used as withdrawal banknotes. A first mode in which a front ticket and a back ticket are reused as dispensing banknotes without distinguishing them in a reusable banknote storage and payment device.

a switching means for switching between a second mode in which only the front ticket is reused as a dispensing banknote, and a switching means for reusing only one front ticket or both the front ticket and the back ticket as a dispensing banknote according to the mode selected by the switching means; It is characterized by having means for controlling its use.

[Embodiments of the invention]

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a banknote storage and payment device showing an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, 1 and 2 are the keyboard and switches for instructing transactions, 3 and 4 are the deposit and withdrawal ports,
5 is a discrimination unit that determines the authenticity, denomination, and front and back of banknotes; 7 to 1;
0 is a gate that switches the path to the safe, 11 to 13 are safes for recycling 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen notes, respectively, and 14 is a collection safe.

Now, after inserting banknotes into the deposit slot 3, a deposit instruction is given using the keyboard 1. Next, the banknotes are sent to the discrimination section 5 via the conveyance path 6, where the front and back sides and denominations are discriminated, and the gates 7 to IO are driven based on the discrimination information to allocate the destination of the deposited banknotes. At this point, the operator can select mode switch 2.
If is turned on, the mode in which only the front ticket is reused is selected, and if mode switch 2 is turned off, both the front ticket and the back ticket are reused. mode is selected. That is, when the mode switch 2 is turned on, only the front tickets of 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen bills are transported to the return safes 11 to 13, respectively, and the back tickets are transported to the collection safe 14. . On the other hand, mode switch 2
When OFF, both the front ticket and the back ticket of 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen are conveyed to each recirculation safe 11 to 13, respectively.

By operating the mode switch 2 in advance in this manner, the series of deposit processing is completed with one mode selected.

Next, when withdrawing money, when a withdrawal instruction is given using the keyboard 1, the banknotes for withdrawal are conveyed from the recycle safes 11 to 13 for 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen notes, and are transferred to the withdrawal port 4. and the series of withdrawal processing is completed. In Fig. 1, when withdrawing money, the discrimination section 2 does not distinguish between authenticity, front and back, or the denomination, and the money is transported to the withdrawal port 4 as it is, but it is returned to the discrimination section 5, where it is processed at the time of withdrawal. It is also possible to have the identification performed.

In this way, in this embodiment, there is a mode in which only the front ticket of the deposited banknotes is reused as a payment bill, and a mode in which both the front ticket and the back ticket are reused.

The mode can be changed using the mode changeover switch 2.

If the operator wants to operate the equipment with increased financial efficiency,
Turn off mode selector switch 2.

If the customer wishes to improve the service by dispensing only the ticket to the customer, the mode changeover switch 2 is turned on. 2. Description of the Related Art Bill storage and payment devices installed at counters of financial institutions such as banks and operated by handlers have limited installation space, and there is a strong demand for miniaturization. For this reason, it is desirable to have a device that relies on the handler to align the front and back sides, except for a banknote flipping mechanism that has a poor space factor.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the control system shown in FIG. 1.

Symbols in FIG. 2 that are the same as those in FIG. 1 indicate the same thing. The main control unit 15 of the banknote storage and payment device includes a discrimination unit 5
．． Operation control unit 17. and controls the conveyance path control section 16. The conveyance path control section 16 controls the gates 7 to 10 that switch the paths connecting the respective circulation safes 11 to 14 and the main conveyance path, and the discrimination section 5 controls one The operation control unit 17 controls the keyboard 1 and the mode switch 2. The keyboard 1 is used to input instructions for depositing and withdrawing money, and the mode switch 2 is used to change the type of reuse when withdrawing money. The main control unit 15 reads the on or off state of the mode switch 2 via the operation control unit 17.
The gates 7 to 10 are controlled via the conveyance path control section 16. That is, when the mode switch 2 is on, the gates 7 to IO are driven to transport only the front ticket to the recycling safe, and the back ticket is stored in the collection safe 14. Also, mode switch 2
is off, the gates 7 to 10 are driven so that both the front ticket and the back ticket are stored in the recirculation safes 11 to 13.
Second, the destination of the banknotes is controlled based on the identification results.

FIG. 3 is an operational flowchart of FIG. 1.

When the deposit process is started, first, banknotes are inserted into the deposit slot 3 (step 21), and then a deposit instruction is given from the keyboard 1 (step 22). Next, the bill is conveyed to the discrimination section 5 (step 23), and it is determined whether the mode switch 2 is on (step 24).

When the mode switch 2 is on, it is necessary to distinguish between a front ticket and a back ticket, and when it is determined that it is a back ticket (step 26), only the front ticket is stored in the recycling safe (step 27). ) 6 The back ticket is stored in the 9 collection safe (Step 28
), on the other hand, when the mode switch 2 is off, there is no need to distinguish between front and back tickets, and both tickets are stored in the recirculation safe, regardless of whether the ticket is front or back (step 25).

In this way, by setting one of the two modes in advance at the time of deposit, when the mode is to be reused for withdrawal without distinguishing between the front and back sides, both front and back sides are stored in the recycling safe, When in mode where only the front ticket is reused for withdrawal.

Only the front ticket is stored in the recycling safe, and the back ticket is stored in the collection safe. At the time of withdrawal, the banknotes are transported from the recycle safe to the withdrawal port, so the withdrawal process is performed in the designated mode. However, after setting the collection safe at the start of business and setting the mode, it is necessary not to reset the mode until the collection safe is removed. When switching to reuse mode, it is necessary to empty the recycling safe before switching.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is a mode in which front tickets and back tickets are reused for withdrawal without distinction.

You can select and switch between a mode in which only the front ticket is reused for withdrawals, so depending on the date, time, and region, the back ticket can also be used for withdrawals, increasing fund efficiency. In addition, by using only the front ticket for withdrawal, only the organized front ticket can be given to the customer.
Service improvement can be measured.
