It is characterized by being equipped with a storage means.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the layout of a bank counter and teller department in which a cash processing system according to the present invention is used. In other words, cash between bank staff and customers at the teller counter 1,
Passbooks, etc., will be handed over. On the bank staff side of the counter 1, there are a teller's machine (hereinafter referred to as a terminal machine) 2 operated by a bank staff, a teller machine 3 for inserting and counting banknotes and coins received from customers. ..., a withdrawal port from which cash withdrawn from the teller's office 4. ...is provided. Terminal 2. . . . is equipped with a keyboard 5, a display section 6, a bookkeeping machine (not shown) that prints out bankbooks and reads account numbers recorded in the bankbook, a printer (not shown) that prints slips and journals, etc. ing. A linear motor transport path 8 is installed between the teller counter 1 and the teller section, on which a carrier 7 (described later) runs as a transport body for transporting cash between them. The teller section includes a cash processing v49.9 for depositing cash brought from the counter 1 and dispensing cash instructed by the terminal 2, an initial set of the carrier 7, and a cash processing machine 9. Operations such as safe exchange, settlement, cash balance inquiry, system settlement, etc.? There are system operations 1fi 10 that can be performed, and a teller exit 11 that serves as an exit for slips sent from the withdrawal port 4. The system operation 1110 includes a keyboard 12 and a display section 12.
, a printer (not shown) for printing a journal, etc. are provided.

Figure 4 (not Figure 2) shows the payout port 4 (teller exit 11), carrier 7, and linear motor conveyance path 8 in detail. Figure 3 shows a state in which the carrier 7 is stopped under the station (withdrawal port 4, teller deposit machine 3, cash processing R9, teller exit 11). The carrier 7 is designed to stop inside the dispensing port 4. That is, the carrier 7 is lifted from the linear motor conveyance path 8 by a lift 31, which will be described later, and stops within the dispensing port 4. , the carrier 7 of the other withdrawal 04 can pass under this withdrawal port 4, and the door 14 provided at the withdrawal port 4 is opened.
When the carrier 7 arrives, the lid 15 automatically opens, making it easy to receive cash. The carrier 7 also has a bill storage section 16 and a coin storage section 17, each of which is lifted diagonally by a spring (not shown) at the same time as the lid 15 is opened.
This makes it easy to receive from 7. The linear motor conveyance path 8 includes a pair of rails 21 on which the carrier 7 travels, a stator 22 that constitutes the linear motor, and coils 21 and 2.
It is constituted by a secondary conductor 24. The carrier 7 is connected to the roller 25 with respect to the rail 21 of the linear motor conveyance path 8.
The left and right and up and down directions are regulated by stator 2.
2, the coil 23 and the secondary conductor 24 attached to the carrier 7
Acceleration and deceleration are performed by

The stator 22 and the coil 23 are installed at the stop position of the carrier 7, that is, at each station and at a fixed distance from each other.
Where there is no 3, it coasts. Note that the carrier 7 is stopped as follows. For example, when the carrier 7 returns from the cash handling machine 9 and comes under the dispensing port 4, a magnetic field is applied to the secondary conductor 24 by the stator 22 and the coil 23 so as to apply a brake to its progress. , this causes the carrier 7 to stop.

The carrier 7 is provided with the lid 15 as described above, and the lid 15 is locked by the lid lock bins 26 provided on both sides of the carrier 7, and the lid lock bins 26 are attached to the door 14. The lock is released by being pressed inward by a cam 27, and the lid 15 is automatically opened by a spring 28. When the lid 15 is opened, the banknote storage section 16 and the coin storage section 17 are lifted diagonally by the force of the arm 29 and a spring (not shown).

The carrier 7 has a protrusion 3 that is actuated by the door 14 so that the lid 15 is closed by the closing operation of the door 14 of the withdrawal port 4.
0 is set. The catcher 32 of the lift 31 is placed on the carrier 7 to lift the carrier 7 to the withdrawal 04.
A socket 33 is provided which has a hole that fits into the socket. The carrier 7 is provided with a lever 34 for detecting that the carrier 7 has arrived directly below the payout 04. This lever 34 and the optical detector 35 detect that the carrier 7 has arrived directly below the withdrawal port 4 and has stopped.

When this is detected, the drive pulley 36 and idler pulley 37 of the lift 31 rotate in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, and the lift belt 38 stretched between these pulleys 36 and 37 rotates.
rotates, and the catcher 32 attached to this lift belt 38 moves upward.

The movement of the catcher 32 causes the catcher 32 to fit into the socket 33, and the carrier 7 can be lifted upward. The drive pulley 36 is driven by a stepping motor (not shown), and the rotation of the stepping motor causes the drive pulley 36 to rotate in the direction of the arrow, and the catcher 3
2 rises and fits into the socket 33, and when the carrier 7 is prevented from falling, the stepping motor is temporarily stopped.

As shown in FIG. 4, the racks 39 and 40 are located at the stop position of the carrier 7, for example, at the rails 21A and 21B, which are partially cut off in the linear motor conveyance path 8 located directly below the dispensing port 4. It is attached so that it can pass through. Rail 21△.

21B is capable of parallel movement in a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the carrier 7, and when the binion 41 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown by a motor (not shown), the rack 3
9 and 40 move outward (in the direction of the arrow shown), and the rails 21A and 21B attached thereto open outward. This eliminates the rails 21A and 21B that prevent the rollers 25 of the carrier 7 from moving upward, so that the carrier 7 can rise. Here, the carrier 7, which is temporarily stopped with the catcher 32 fitted into the socket 33, is raised by the rotation of a stepping motor (not shown) and stopped within the dispensing port 4. The stop position of the carrier 7 within the withdrawal 04 is the protrusion 3 of the carrier 7.
0 is the position where the withdrawal port 4 contacts the door 14.

When the carrier 7 reaches the stop position inside the dispensing machine 04, the door 14 is opened by rotating a motor (not shown). At this time, due to the movement of the door 14 in the opening direction, the door 1
The cam 27 attached to the carrier 7 moves and the lid 15 of the carrier 7 moves.
The lid lock bin 26 that locks the lid is pressed inward, thereby opening the lid 15. When the M2S is in the open state while the lid locking bin 26 is pressed inward by the cam 27, the door 14 is pressed against the protrusion 30 of the carrier 7.
Therefore, by the time the lid lock bin 26 is returned to the outside by a spring (not shown), the lid 15 will be in an open state and the lid 15 will be in an unlocked state.

Therefore, the lid 15 is gradually opened by the action of the spring 28 as the door 14 is moved to open. Also, carrier 7
The banknote storage section 16 and the coin storage section 17 are connected to the arm 29.
Since the stop by the lid 15 is released by the force of a spring (not shown), the lid 15 is lifted diagonally. Here, cash, checks, etc. are put into the banknote storage section 16 and the coin storage section 17,
By pressing the lid 15 of the carrier 7 and closing it so that the lid lock bin 26 is caught, the detector 42 which checks whether the lid 15 is closed in the withdrawal 04 detects that the lid 15 is closed. , the door 14 is closed by a motor (not shown). When the door 14 is closed, the drive pulley 36 is rotated in the opposite direction from when it was raised, so that the carrier 7 is lowered by the catcher 32 attached to the lift belt 38, and the lower part 25 of the carrier 7 is moved to the rail 21A.
, stop at the position where you get on 21B, and then put on rack 39.
．． 40 and the rails 21A and 21B by the nion 41
moves inward, and the rollers 25 of the carrier 7 move to the rail 21.
A. Get on top of 21B. Then, the drive pulley 36 rotates again, and the stopped carrier 7 descends.
The descent is stopped when the catcher 32 comes off the socket 33. Note that the lowering operation of the lift 31 is performed after confirming that no other carriers 7, etc. have passed, and the lowering operation of the lift 31 is timed to coincide with the lowering operation of the rail 21A.
, 21B are moved outward to receive the carrier 7. Further, when the carrier 7 is lifted by the lift 31, the rails 21A and 21B immediately move inward to allow another carrier 7 to pass.

FIG. 5 shows the bill processing section 50 of the teller deposit machine 3 in detail. That is, the carrier 7 for carrying banknotes and coins stops at a fixed position of the teller deposit machine 3. When this is detected by a detector (not shown), the teller deposit machine lift 67 having the same configuration as the lift 31 is operated, and the carrier 7 is raised by the teller deposit machine lift 67 to the delivery position.

At this delivery position, the lid 15 is removed from the lid lock bin 26 by means of pressing the lid lock bin 26 of the carrier 7 inward (not shown), and the lid 15 is removed by the force of the spring 28.
opens, and thereby the banknote storage section 16 is lifted diagonally.

In this way, the carrier 7 is set in the teller deposit machine 3.

The banknote input slot 51 is a place where banknotes received from a customer are inserted, and a feed roller 52, a take-out roller 53, and a gate roller 54 are provided here, so that the banknotes inserted can be taken out one by one. It has become. The taken out bill is sent to a two-bill detection section 55, where it is checked whether it is a two-bill bill, and then sent to a denomination discrimination section 56. The denomination discrimination section 56 discriminates the denomination using a known optical or magnetic detection method or both.

The banknotes whose denominations have been determined are sent to a banknote temporary storage section 58 via a conveyance path 57 and accumulated there. If the denomination cannot be determined by the denomination determination unit 56, the banknote is guided to the removal conveyance path 60 by the eject gate 59,
The waste is sent to the removal port 61 by the removal conveyance path 60. Banknotes sent to the removal port 61 can be re-inserted into the banknote input port 51, or banknotes that seem impossible to distinguish can be set in the carrier 7 from the payout port 4 and sent to the teller section. . When all the banknotes inserted into the banknote slot 51 are accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 58 and the processing by the coin processing unit 70, which will be described later, is completed, the deposited amount is displayed on the display unit 6 of the terminal device 2. If this displayed amount is the amount written on the slip as the customer's deposit amount, it matches the data entered in advance using the keyboard 5 of the terminal 2, so the conveyors 62 and 63 are activated. The banknotes are fed into the banknote storage section 16 of the carrier 7, which is already waiting to receive banknotes. The guide gate 64 is located at a position where it does not interfere with the lifting of the carrier 7 and the opening and closing of the lid 15 of the carrier 7, and is rotated by a rotary solenoid (not shown) in order to guide the banknotes to the banknote storage section 16. Coin storage section 17 of carrier 7 located at coin loading position of coin processing section 70
When loading of coins is completed, the lid 15 is closed by the rotation of the lid pressing device 68 and locked by the lid lock bin 26. Before this lock, guide gate 6
When the lid 15 is closed, the carrier 7 is lowered onto the rail 21 of the linear motor conveyance path 8 by the teller deposit machine lift 67.

After the banknotes are accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 58 and the processing by the coin processing unit 70 (to be described later) is completed, the deposited amount displayed on the display unit 6 of the terminal device 2 is transferred to a deposit such as a savings deposit, a time deposit, a loan payment, etc. This is different from the data entered on the keyboard 5 of the terminal 2 as the payment amount, and the keyboard 5 of the terminal 2 may also be used to input other deposits, such as cash or checks whose denomination could not be determined by the teller deposit machine 3. If there is no banknote, the banknote will not be loaded as is into the banknote storage unit 16.The total amount of the deposit entered from the teller deposit machine 3 and the keyboard 5 will be displayed on the display unit 6 together with the count. If the payment amount is higher than the payment amount written on the slip, the bank employee will confirm the amount received by the customer and then
By pressing the confirmation key in the keyboard 5, the banknotes accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 58 are transferred to the banknote storage unit 16.
It is now possible to install it on. If the total deposit amount is lower than the payment amount, by pressing the confirmation key or return key in the keyboard 5, the banknotes in the banknote temporary storage unit 58 are loaded in the opposite direction from when they were loaded into the banknote storage unit 16. The banknotes are sent to the banknote return pocket 65 by the rotating conveyors 62 and 63, and can be taken out from the banknote return opening 66. In addition, if the total amount of deposits is lower than the amount of payment, it is possible to correct the amount of payment or add the amount of deposit by informing the customer of this fact.

FIG. 6 shows the coin processing section 70 of the teller deposit machine 3 in detail. That is, the coin input lower 1 is a place where coins received from customers are input, and the coins input here are temporarily stored in the supply hopper 72. The coins stored in the supply hopper 72 are lifted one by one by a disk 74 provided with bins 73, . . . and sent to a sorting chute 75. The sorting chute 75 is provided with a detector 76 that determines the denomination of the coin using a known inductive inductance.

Coins whose denominations cannot be determined by the detector 76 are guided to a reject chute 78 by a reject gate 77. Since the sorting chute 75 is inclined downward, the coins whose denominations have been determined by the detector 76 are stored in the coin temporary storage section 79.

Furthermore, since the sorting chute 75 is inclined obliquely, coins can be rejected by rotating the reject gate 77. After all the coins input into the coin input lower 1 are accumulated in the coin temporary storage section 79 and the processing in the banknote processing section 50 is completed, the coins stored in the coin temporary storage section 79 are transferred from the terminal device 2 to the coins in the carrier 7. When a signal is sent to load the coin into the storage section 17, the coin enters the storage chute 81 by rotation of the storage gate 80, and the coin ejecting device 82 removes the coin from the carrier 7 that is already waiting to receive the coin. It is placed in the storage section 17. Coin release device 8
2 is composed of a discharge chute 83 that guides coins from the storage chute 81 to the coin storage section 17, and a rectilinear motor 84 that causes the discharge chute 83 to move in a straight line.

The linear motor 84 is, for example, a motor that incorporates a rack and a pinion and is capable of linear operation like an air cylinder. The discharge chute 83 is on standby at a position where it does not interfere with the carrier 7 when the carrier 7 is ascending or descending.
The coin loading signal from the terminal 2 comes and is output before the storage gate 80 rotates.

When the return operation is performed by pressing the return key or the like due to reasons such as the total amount of deposit being lower than the amount of payment, the return gate 85 is operated instead of rotating the storage gate 80.
As the coins are rotated, the coins stored in the temporary coin storage section 79 fall into the return chute 86. Return chute 86 guides coins onto return conveyor 87 similarly to reject chute 78 . II on return conveyor 87!
The placed coins are sent to a coin return pocket 88 by a return conveyor 87. The coin return pocket 88 is rotatable as shown by the arrow in the figure.
By rotating 8, it is possible to take out returned coins or rejected coins.

FIG. 7 shows the bill processing section 100 of the cash processing machine 9 in detail. That is, the carrier 7 that has carried the banknotes and coins stops at the fixed position of the cash processing 119. By detecting this with a detector (not shown), the cash handling machine lift 101 having the same configuration as the lift 31 is operated, and the carrier 7 is raised to the delivery position by the cash handling machine lift 101. At this delivery position, carrier 7 (not shown)
The lid 1 is removed by means of pressing the lid lock bin 26 inwardly.
5 is removed from the lid lock bin 26, and the lid 15 is opened by the force of the spring 28. As a result, the banknote storage section 16 is lifted diagonally. In this state, the banknotes in the banknote storage section 16 are clamped by the banknote transfer device 102, which had been evacuated so as not to interfere with the lifting of the carrier 7 and the opening operation of the lid 15, and the banknote transfer device 102 The banknotes are conveyed to the special thickness 103 by the rotation of the banknotes. Note that the carrier 7 and part of the bill storage section 16 are cut out so as not to interfere with the bill delivery device 102 so that the bill delivery device 102 can clamp the bills in the bill storage section 16 .

The attended banknotes-special thickness 103 sends the received banknotes to the supply unit 104.
A conveyor 105 that sends banknotes to a banknote, a clamper 106 that operates together with this conveyor 105 and assists the conveyance of banknotes by the conveyor 105, and a clamper 106 that assists the conveyance of banknotes by the conveyor 105.
It is comprised of a push-in mold 107 for stacking banknotes. The clamper 106 is held so that a space is formed between the clamper 106 and the conveyor 105 when receiving banknotes from the banknote delivery device 102 or stacking banknotes at the outflow banknote temporary 1103 at the time of dispensing. However, when feeding banknotes from the banknote special thickness 103 to the supply unit 104 or the banknote transfer device 102, the holding mechanism is released and a spring (not shown) acts to press the banknote against the conveyor 105. The conveyor 105 and the clamper 106 rotate to the supplying section 104 while clamping the banknotes with a special thickness of 103, and after this rotation, the conveyor 105 operates to supply the banknotes clamped by the conveyor 105 and the clamper 106. 104.

The supply section 104 has a backup device [108] which is evacuated when bills are fed from the outgoing bill-special thickness 103 and pressurizes the bills when taking out the bills that have entered the supply section 104 one by one. is provided. When a banknote enters the supply unit 104, the backup holding of the backup device 108 is released, and the backup presses the banknote against the take-out roller 109 by a spring. The banknote is taken out by roller 1
09, the take-out roller 109 and the feed roller 110 are rotated by a detection signal from a banknote presence/absence detector (not shown), and the banknotes in the supply section 104 are taken out. At this time, the gate roller 111
It acts to prevent the second and subsequent bills from being taken out so that only the banknotes in contact with 9 are taken out. The banknotes taken out from the supply unit 104 are sent to a thickness detection unit 112 for confirming whether each banknote is exactly one sheet at a time.
The banknotes that have passed through the thickness detection section 112 are sent to the inspection section 113. The inspection unit 113 uses a well-known optical or magnetic detection method to determine the type and front and back of the banknote.The banknotes for which the type and front and back sides have been determined by the inspection unit 113 are shown by a sorting gate 114. It is guided in the direction of arrow 115. If the type cannot be determined by the inspection unit 113 or if the thickness detection unit 112
If it is determined that it is a two-sheet type, please use the arrow 1 shown in the diagram.
The banknotes are guided in the direction 16, sent to the special thickness 103, where they are accumulated, and sent again to the supply unit 104, where they are taken out again.

The banknotes that have been sorted in the direction of arrow 115 by sorting gate 114 are guided in the direction of arrow 118 or 119 shown in the figure by front and back sorting gate 117. That is, banknotes determined by the inspection unit 113 to be face-up are sorted in the direction of arrow 118, and banknotes determined to be face-down are sorted in the direction of arrow 119. The passage time of the banknotes to the merging part 122 is the same between the front banknote transport path 120 in the direction of arrow 118 through which the front banknotes pass and the reverse banknote transport path 121 in the direction of arrow 119 through which reverse banknotes pass. ing.

In the face-down banknote transport path 121, the face-down banknotes are turned face up by the reversing bells 1 to 123 along the way. In this way, all the banknotes that have reached the confluence section 122 are arranged face up.

The banknotes that have passed through the merging section 122 are sent to the sorting and conveying section 124. If the banknotes sent to the sorting conveyance section 124 are genuine 10,000 yen bills, the sorting gate 125A rotates and the bills are transferred to the temporary storage 126.
Lead to A. In addition, if it is a genuine 5,000 yen ticket, please use the classification gate 125.

On the other hand, following the pressing of the reserve key on the keyboard 12 of the system operating device 10, an input is made using the keyboard 12 to designate the cash processing machine 9 to be used for dispensing money (step 86). That is, the cash processing machine A (B) is selected. This input designation signal is sent to the cash processing machine memory M of the storage unit 304 via the system control unit 301.
The one designated in the usage status of 11 machines (A, B) is stored as the one for withdrawal. For example, if one side A of the cash processing machine 9 is designated, A will be used for withdrawals, and the other side B will be used for deposits.

In addition, if either A or B of the cash processing machine 9 goes down, the cash processing machine memory M of the down cash processing machine 9
Since the usage state of 11 is stored as disabled, the usage state of the cash processing machine memory M11 of cash processing l119 that does not go down is stored as for deposits and withdrawals. Furthermore, when the cash processing machine 19 is used less, for example, when a payment is made to stop the cash processing machine 9 of A, the cash processing m9 of B is stored in the cash processing machine memory M11 so that both deposits and withdrawals can be made.
The usage status of A is stored as being for deposits and withdrawals, and the usage status of A is stored as being for payment. Of course, in order for the cash processing machine 9 to be able to both deposit and withdraw money, it is necessary that the storage compartments 130A, .

In addition, both A and 8 of the cash processing machine 9 are connected to the system operating machine 10.
If you enable it to operate in , the one designated as the secondary (competitive) will be used for withdrawals, and the other will be used for deposits.

Next, use the keyboard 12 of the system operating device 10 to input the denomination and amount of cash to be deposited as a reserve fund (step S).
7) Put banknotes and coins into the carrier 7 set at the teller exit 11, and close the lid 15 of the carrier 7 (step 88). Carrier 7 is the teller exit] Lift 31 of 1
(step S9), and is conveyed by the linear motor transport path 8, and stops at the designated position of the cash processing machine 9 (step 510). Then, the carrier 7 is lifted by the lift 101 of the designated cash processing machine 9 (step 811), and the banknotes are transferred to the banknote transfer device 102.
Coins are transferred from the carrier 7 to the cash processing machine 9 by the coin transfer device 201. Thereafter, the i15 of the carrier 7 is closed by the lid pressing device 141, and the carrier 7 is lowered by the cash handling machine lift 101 (step 512). The carrier 7 that has descended is transported by the linear motor transport path 8 and enters the waiting area at the end of the linear motor transport path 8 (step 51).
3). The amount data entered in step $7 is
It is stored in the input data memory section of the cash memory M33 of the storage section 318.

On the other hand, in the cash processing machine 9, banknotes and coins are each counted (step 514). Here, if there is any rejected cash, it is taken in again and counted (step 51).
5). The counted cash is stored in temporary storage 126A.
,...126D and temporary coin storage 214A,...
- Stored on 214F. The cash amount data counted in step $14 is stored in the processed amount memory section of the cash memory M33 of the storage section 318. When all the cash has been counted, the counted value (cash memory M
It is checked whether or not the contents of the processing amount memory section of the cash memory M33) and the data input in step S7 (the contents of the input data memory section of the cash memory M33) match (step 816). If they match here, temporary storage 126A, ... 126D and temporary coin storage 2

At this time, the memory is transferred from the cash memory M33 of the storage unit 318 to the banknote and coin input/output memory unit of the safe memory M34, and is also stored in the reserve fund memory M35. The contents of the banknote and coin input/output memory section of the safe memory M34 are cash that can be used for payment, and the storage section 30
Cash processing machine memory M11 of specified cash processing machine 9 of No. 4
It is stored in the denomination-specific memory section of the terminal 2 and is used to check withdrawals based on payment instructions from the terminal 2.

If the input data and the processing amount do not match in step 816, the content is displayed on the display unit 13 of the system operating device 10, so that it can be confirmed (step 518).
). With this confirmation, the keyboard 12 of the system operating device 10
If the input data is incorrect, enter correction data for the denomination and amount using the keyboard 12 (step S20>. If it is necessary to return the item for confirmation (step 819), enter the correction data for the denomination and amount using the keyboard 12. By pressing the key (step $21), the cash can be returned.Of course, by pressing the return key, the contents of the cash memory M33 of the storage unit 318 are cleared. Coins are sent from the coin storage 126A, . . . 126D and from the coin temporary storage 214Δ, . 522
). After confirmation, by pressing the reserve key in step S3, cash can be set in the cash handling machine 9 and withdrawals can be made by the payment operation on the terminal 2. By setting the reserve money in the cash processing unit 19 in this way, various operations can be performed at each terminal of the counter section.

Next, various operations performed by operating the terminal device 2 will be explained. First, the operation key on the keyboard 5 of the terminal 2 is pressed (step 531). As a result, a signal is sent from the terminal control unit 302 to the system control unit 301, and a check is performed to determine whether the system control unit 301 is down and whether or not there is cash in the cash processing machine 9 (step $32). Whether the system control unit 301 is down or not is stored in the status memory M21 of the storage unit 311 because the signal is not connected.

The contents of the status memory M21 can be confirmed by a bank employee operating the terminal 2 by lighting up a system connection lamp provided in the keyboard 5 of the terminal 2. If the system connection lamp does not light up, the system control unit 301 is down, and the bank staff can receive deposits, payments, etc. from customers through direct connection between the terminal 2 and the host computer 307. In this case, the storage unit 311
The auxiliary memory M27 stores the amount of each type of deposit, withdrawal, etc., so when the system control unit 301 returns, the memory contents are stored in the deposit memory M27 of the storage unit 304.
13. It is possible to add each type to the withdrawal memory M14, deposit memory M15, etc. The deposit memory M22, the withdrawal memory M23, and the public money memory M24 of the storage unit 311 are memories that store the totals up to that point together with the number of deposits until the M calculation, which will be explained later, is performed. I haven't. Next, the usage state memory section of the cash handling machine memory M11 is checked to see if both cash handling machines 9 are down (step 533).

If both cash processing machines 9 are down, the terminal 2 is operated while holding cash at each counter, and only the data is stored in the storage unit 304 via the system control unit 301. It is now possible to operate this system. Further, when checking the usage state memory section of the cash processing machine memory M11, the presence or absence of cash is also checked, and it is checked whether cash for payment is prepared (step 534). If this check is performed and everything is normal, various operations that operate the entire system, such as deposits, payments, public money payments, etc., are possible.For deposits, input such as normal or fixed period using the keyboard 5 ( step 535).

First, the case of deposits will be explained. The passbook is set in the bookkeeping machine of terminal 2 (step 541).

As a result, the account number of the passbook is read by the bookkeeping machine, and is sent to the computer 30 via the system control unit 301.
7, the account is confirmed.

Next, the type of deposit, ie, regular, regular, etc., is input using the keyboard 5 (step 542). continue,
The deposit amount is entered on the keyboard 5 (step 843>, and the banknotes and coins are set into the bill slot 51 and the coin slot 1, respectively.Step 844). By pressing the start key (step $45), counting is performed by the teller deposit machine 3 (step 846). When this counting is completed, it is checked whether the counted amount matches the input data (deposit amount) input in step S43 (step 547). Here, if the counted amount and the input data match, cash is automatically loaded into the carrier 7 located at the cash loading position of the counter deposit 13 (step 848). When cash is loaded, the lid pressing device 68
The lid 15 of the carrier 7 is closed.

When the lid 15 is closed, the carrier 7 is lowered by the teller deposit machine lift 67 (step 549), and is conveyed along the linear motor conveyance path 8 to the cash processing machine 9 for deposit (step 850).

If the counted amount and input data do not match in step 847, the counted amount and input data are displayed on the display section 6, so the input data is confirmed (step 851).
), if the input data is incorrect, the input data is changed (step 552). If this matches the counted amount (step 553), the cash is automatically loaded into the carrier 7. If the input data is correct, the counted amount is confirmed (step 554). If the input data is smaller than the counted amount in this confirmation, the confirmation key on the keyboard 5 is pressed (step 555). Then, the banknotes in the temporary banknote storage section 58 and the coins in the temporary coin storage section 79 are loaded onto the carrier 7 (step 856). The carrier 7 loaded with cash is transported to the cash processing facility 9 for depositing (steps 857 and 858).

On the other hand, the door 14 of the withdrawal port 4 is closed by pressing the confirmation key in step 855 (step 559), and the lid 15 of the carrier 7 is closed by the closing operation of the door 14. When i15 of carrier 7 is closed, carrier 7
1 (step 860) and transported to the cash processing machine 9 for withdrawal (step 561). Further, when the confirmation key is pressed, the difference between the counted amount and the input data is calculated, and the data is input as the withdrawal amount as change in the cash memory M33 of the storage unit 318 of the cash processing llll9 for withdrawal. Even before the banknotes reach the banknotes - special thickness 1
03 and the withdrawal-tokuko 219 to start the withdrawal operation. This allows change withdrawals to start faster than deposits,
Customer wait times are becoming shorter. In addition, since the carrier 7 of the withdrawal port 4 goes to the cash processing ring 9 before the carrier 7 loaded with cash from the teller deposit machine 3, only one cash processing machine 9 is required to deposit and withdraw money. Even if you do so, the change is withdrawn before the deposit is made.

If the counted amount is smaller than the input data in the confirmation in step S54, by pressing the return key in the keyboard 5 (step 862), the banknotes and coins counted in the counter deposit box 3 are simultaneously transferred to the banknote return pocket. 65 and coin return pocket 88, from which cash can be removed and returned to the customer (step 5).
63).

Of course, by pressing this return key, the processing memory M26 of the storage unit 311 is cleared.

Next, the case of payment will be explained. The passbook is set in the bookkeeping machine of the terminal 2 (step S71).

As a result, as in the case of deposits, the account number of the passbook is read by the bookkeeping machine, and the account is confirmed by the number sent to the host computer 307 via the system control unit 301. Next, by inputting the payment amount and denomination using the keyboard 5 (step 872), it is checked whether or not the amount can be paid with the host computer 3.7. As a result of this check, if payment is possible, the door 14 of the withdrawal port 4 is closed (step 873), and the lid 15 of the carrier 7 is closed by the closing operation of the door 14. This disturbs the carrier 7 (step 874) and transports the carrier 7 to the cash handling machine 9, which is used for dispensing money (step 575). on the other hand,
Cash memory M3 of storage unit 318 of cash processing machine 9 for withdrawal
Since the data is entered as the withdrawal amount in step 3, carrier 7
The withdrawal operation is started for the outgoing banknotes - special thickness 103 and the withdrawal - special thickness 219 even before the banknotes reach the banknotes.

Next, the case of currency exchange will be explained. Press the exchange key on the keyboard 5 (step 581), then enter the deposit amount and exchange denomination (steps 882, 883)
, the cash received from the customer and the banknotes to the banknote slot 51,
Set each coin into coin input lower 1.Step 8
84), by pressing the start key in the keyboard 5 (step 885), counting is performed by the teller deposit machine 3 (step 586). When this counting is completed, it is checked whether the counted amount and the deposited amount input in step S82 match (step 587).
. Here, if the counted amount and the deposited amount match, the carrier 7 loaded with cash is transported to the cash processing machine 9 for depositing (steps 888 to 890).
, and the carrier 7 of the withdrawal 04 is transported to the cash processing machine 9 for withdrawal (steps 891 to 593). On the other hand, if the counted amount and the deposited amount do not match, the deposited amount displayed on the display section 6 may be checked and corrected (step 894).
is carried to the cash processing machine 9 for deposit, and the carrier 7 of the withdrawal 04 is carried to the cash processing machine 9 for withdrawal.

Next, the deposit and withdrawal processing in the cash processing 119 will be explained. First, the deposit process involves a customer handing over cash to a bank employee for deposit, currency exchange, or payment of public funds.
After the cash is inserted into the machine and the count is confirmed, the cash is transported by the carrier 7 to the cash processing machine R9 for deposits, where it is counted and sorted and stored by the cash processing machine 9. When deposit processing, currency exchange, and public money payment are entered using the keyboard 5, it is checked which cash processing machine 9 the carrier 7 should go to. First, by checking the cash processing machine memory M11 of the storage unit 304, the cash processing machine 9, A or B, is selected (step 8101).

This is to check which one is currently being used for deposits. For example, if the cash processing category 9 currently used for depositing is A, the usage state of the cash processing machine memory M11 is stored as being for depositing. Next, by checking the amount of cash in the cash processing machine memory M11, it is checked whether the cash sent from the teller deposit machine 3 can be stored (step 5102).

Here, if the carrier 7 can be stored, the carrier 7 is carried to the cash processing machine 9 of A, and the carrier 7 is lifted to the cash delivery position by the cash processing machine lift 101 (step 8103).

The cash in the carrier 7 is received by the bill delivery device 102 and the coin receiving device 201, the bills and coins are counted separately (step 5104), and the cash is transferred to the temporary storage 126A,...

1 has storage compartments 130A, . . . 130D and a coin storage compartment 227A.

. . . It is checked that there are more than a certain amount of storage cans on the 227F and that they are immediately full (step $109). In this case, since A's cash processing machine 9, which could not store the current cash, is full of cash, the system controller 10 inputs the instructions to replace the safe of A's cash processing machine 9. It is displayed on the display section 13 of the system operation panel 10.

Next, the withdrawal process will be explained. The withdrawal process is a process in which the cash processing machine 9 withdraws cash as a withdrawal such as payment and cashing of a check, and a withdrawal for change for deposits and public money payments. When payment or deposit change is input using the keyboard 5, it is checked whether it is appropriate for the carrier 7 to go to Dorara's cash processing R9. First, by checking the cash processing machine memory M11 of the storage unit 304, the cash processing! 19, A or B is selected (step 8111), which checks which one is currently being used for withdrawal. For example, if the cash processing machine 9 currently being used for withdrawal is B, the usage state of the cash processing machine memory M11 is stored as for withdrawal. Next, by checking the amount of cash in the cash processing machine memory M11, the cash that matches the withdrawal amount entered from the keyboard 5 of the teller deposit machine 3 is found in the storage 130A of the cash processing machine 9 of B.

It is checked whether it is on the 16th floor (step 5112).

With this confirmation, the cash that matches the withdrawal amount is B in the storage compartments 130A, ... 130D and the coin storage 21 of the cash processing machine 9.
6A, . . , 216F, the carrier 7 that was in the withdrawal 04 is sent to the cash receiving position of the cash processing machine 9 of B (steps 3113 to 8114). Note that if the cash processing machine 9 has finished the previous withdrawal process, the necessary cash will be taken out from the storage compartments 130A, . . . 130D and the coin storage 216A, . When the carrier 7 arrives, the cash is sent to the carrier 7 by the bill delivery device 102 and the coin discharge device 229 (step 8115). When the cash transfer is completed, the cash processing machine 9 can start the next payment process. On the other hand, the carrier 7 that has received the cash has its lid 15 closed by the lid pressing device 141 and returns to the withdrawal 04 at the counter from which the carrier 7 came (step 5116.51).
17). When carrier 7 returns to withdrawal 04, the lid 15 opens,
The bill storage section 16 and the coin storage section 17 are lifted diagonally so that bills and coins can be easily taken out.

In step 5112, in the cash processing machine 9 of B, the storages 130A, .
6A, ... 216F, when it is confirmed by checking the cash processing machine memory M11 that the withdrawal amount is insufficient, the cash processing machine memory M11 of the cash processing machine 9 of A is checked (step 8118), If the withdrawal amount is sufficient, the carrier 7 is transported to the cash processing machine 9 of A for withdrawal. The cash processing machine memory M11 is stored so as to change the role of the A and B cash processing machines 9 for withdrawal and deposit. If A's cash processing machine 9 does not have enough cash for the withdrawal amount, A's cash processing machine 9 can use the input from the keyboard 12 of system operation 15! It is necessary to replenish. In addition, if it is confirmed that there is cash required for the current withdrawal amount, but it is less than a certain minimum amount (step 8119), it will be displayed on the display unit 13 of the system operating device 10, and if the content needs to be confirmed. If so, the content of the cash processing machine memory M11 can be displayed on the display unit 13 of the system operating device 10 via the system control unit 301 using the keyboard 12 of the system operating device 10. After looking at the displayed contents, enter the required scale, the amount using the system operating machine 10 in the same manner as the first reserve fund seller i, insert cash from the teller exit 11, and send the cash to A's cash processing method 9. can be replenished.

Next, a description will be given of the payment procedure for terminating this cash processing system. Payment is made for the first time from terminal 2 to RJa for the entire system. First, to explain how to pay on terminal 42, press the II primary key on keyboard 5 (
Step 5121).

By pressing this settlement key, the storage section 311 is checked, and it is checked whether or not there is any stored content in the auxiliary memory M27 (step 8122).

The auxiliary memory M27 is used to store information such as deposits and payments processed by the terminal 2 in the storage unit 304 because the system control unit 301 is down. be. When the system control unit 301 recovers, the contents of the auxiliary memory M27 are sent to the storage unit 304 via the system control unit 301, and are added and stored for each type in the deposit memory M13, withdrawal memory M14, deposit memory M15, etc. be done. If there is no stored content in the auxiliary memory M27, the stored contents of the deposit memory M22, withdrawal memory M23, public money memory M24, etc. in the storage unit 311 are printed out using the printer of the terminal 2 in order to perform payment. Step 8123). When this printout is completed, the memory contents of the deposit memory M22, withdrawal memory M2'3, public money memory M24, etc. are cleared (step 8124), and a signal indicating that the payment has been made is sent to the storage unit 304 via the system control unit 301. go to
The completion of the payment is stored in the corresponding memory section of the terminal 2 where the payment was made in the terminal memory M12. On the other hand, if there is stored content in the auxiliary memory M27, the payment for that terminal 2 is canceled (step S125).

When the payment on the terminal device 2 is completed in this way, the payment on the cash processing machine 9 can be made. The settlement operation of the cash processing machine 9 is performed by operating the system operation device 10 in the same manner as the operation of setting the reserve money in the cash r8 processing 9. First, press the R calculation key on the keyboard 12 of the system operating device 10 and select which cash processing machine 9, A or B, is to be settled (step $131>. Then, the system control unit 301 The stored contents of 304 are checked. First, it is checked by the terminal memory 112 whether all terminals 2 have finished ml (step 3132).
If the payment has been completed, next, it is recorded whether or not the safe exchange for the designated cash processing procedure 9 has been completed.+JA Department 31
8 safe memory M34 (step 5133). That is, it is checked whether the cash processing person 9 has cash or not. If here, safe memory M3
If it is confirmed in step 4 that there is cash, the payment is canceled and an instruction to replace the safe is displayed on the display unit 13 of the system operating device 10. When it is confirmed by the safe memory M34 that there is no cash, the stored contents of the deposit memory M31, the withdrawal memory ~132, the reserve fund memory M35, etc. of the storage unit 318 are printed out by the printer of the system operation box 10 (
Step 8134), when this printout is completed, deposit memory M31, withdrawal memory M32, reserve memory M
35 etc. are cleared (step 8135).
).

On the other hand, in step 5132, if it is confirmed that all terminals 2 have not completed payment, the cash processing machine memory M11 is checked to confirm that cash other than those designated by the cash processing units 9 of A and B is It is confirmed whether the payment of the processing machine 9 has not been completed or whether it is down (step 3 136).

Here, if it is confirmed that the cash processing machine 1a9 other than the designated cash processing machine 9 has completed payment or is not down, #R paralysis of the designated cash processing machine 9 can be performed. That is, one cash processing machine 9 accepts deposits and withdrawals from the terminal 2 such as deposits and payments. In this way, even if one of the cash processing systems R9 goes down, the other one takes care of both deposits and withdrawals, making it difficult for the entire cash processing system to go down. If a cash processing machine 9 other than the designated one has completed payment or is down, the payment is canceled (step 8137).

Finally, system settlement for terminating this cash processing system will be explained. System settlement can be performed by pressing the system settlement key on the keyboard 12 of the system operating device 10. When the system settlement key is pressed (step 3 141), first, the terminal device memory M12 of the storage section 304 is checked via the system control section 301, and it is confirmed whether or not IN of the terminal device 2 has been completed. (Step 8142). Here, if it is confirmed that the payment for terminal 2 has not been completed, the system payment is canceled (step 8143). If all of the terminals 2 have finished settlement, then the cash processing machine memory M11 checks whether all the cash processing machines 9 have finished settlement (step 5144). If all cash handling machines 9 have not completed their payments, the system Tsubakibori will be canceled in the same way as if the terminal 2 had not completed their payments (
step 8145). When the cash processing machine 9 has also finished all settlements, the stored contents of the deposit memory M13, withdrawal memory M14, deposit memory M15, etc. of the storage unit 304 are printed out by the printer of the system operation device 10 (step 5146). When this printout is completed, deposit memory M13, withdrawal memory M14, deposit memory M15
The stored contents, such as, are cleared (step 8147).

By clearing the memory, the memory that has stored all the processing contents of this cash processing system is cleared, and the cash processing system ends.

According to the cash processing system as explained above, conventionally,
Cash that was previously dispersed among teller machines (separate terminals) is now centralized, making cash management more efficient and eliminating cash transfer tasks such as replenishing and collecting cash. In addition, in the rear teller section, by installing a plurality of cash processing machines that allow cash circulation type deposits and withdrawals, the cash processing system can be operated even if one cash processing facility goes down.

Furthermore, when installing a cash processing system, deposits and withdrawals are used alternately, and when cash withdrawal becomes impossible, the role of the cash processing machine for deposits and withdrawals is switched. The system is configured to reduce the amount of cash available. In addition, since the amount of cash is memorized for each part of the cash processing system, even if the cash processing system is stopped due to a problem, you will not have to calculate the total amount of cash. It has become.

In addition, when the cash processing system is terminated, the settlement is completed from the terminal side, so that the cash amount is not unknown due to incomplete termination of the cash processing system. Termination is prevented.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, distributed cash can be centralized, cash management can be made more efficient, and
To provide a cash processing system that can eliminate cash delivery work.
