Further, the conveyance device 102 forming the conveyance path 27 is connected to the CPU 100 via a conveyance control device 103. Each reed switch and sensor connects to the CPU via sensor interface 104.
100, and the CPU 100 uses information from these sensors to control ticket transport and grasp the internal state of the device. The printer 19 is the printer interface 10
5 to the CPU 100, and the CPU 10
Print the total data etc. according to instructions from 0. Also 1
07 is ROM (read only memory),
A control program for this device is stored. 10 more
8 is RAM (random access memory),
The denomination, number of processed notes, number of good and damaged notes, etc. are all recorded in this RA.
It is stored in M107. The display control unit 108 is the CPU 10
0, and the display control unit 108 is also connected to various display devices 81 to 84 in the display device 20 and performs display control.

Also, various mode setting keys 71 to 80 in the display device 20
is connected to the display control section 108, and the display control section 1
09 sends a command to the CPU 100 to set a mode according to input contents from each key. Further, the operation section 17 is connected to an operation control section 109, and the operation control section 109 is connected to the CPU 100. In addition, the CPU 100 controls the start and stop of ticket processing in response to instructions from the operation unit 17. Note that a DIP switch 110 is connected to the CPU 100, and this DIP
By specifying the switch 110, a specific function of the banknote processing device 10 can be stopped. Also CPU100
A counting device 111 is connected to. This counting device 111 counts the number of banknotes stacked in the primary storage 32, 33, 34 and the number of banknotes stored in the storage safe 37, 38, 39.

Next, the operation of the banknote processing apparatus 1o described above will be explained. The operator first sets the storage safes 37, 38, and 39 into the safe section 51. That is, the safe section 51 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 5, and each storage safe 37, 38, 39 is loaded. At this time, if all the safes are set correctly, the reed switches 57a and 59a are turned on. Therefore, the CPU 100 determines that the cassette has been loaded correctly,
The LED lamps 60a, 60b, and 60c are turned on. Next, when the safe section 51 is stored, each safe 37°38.3
If 9 is empty, it is detected at 44a, 44b, and 44c, respectively. If any of the storage safes is not empty, the display devices 83a, 83b, 83c, 83
The corresponding LED lamp of d lights up. In this way, the setting status of the safe and the status of its contents are displayed, so the staff member can either reinstall the safe or reinstall the safe depending on each status.
You can immediately decide whether to set up another safe.

Next, the operator sets the mode, but if the safe is not set correctly or any storage safe is not empty, the CPU 100 controls the storage mode so that it becomes invalid even if the storage mode is specified. In other words, the storage mode can only be specified when the empty storage safe is set correctly. Note that when specifying the counting mode, front/back mode, fitness/loss mode, or front/back fitness/loss mode, the mode can be specified regardless of the state of the storage safe.

In this way, the storage mode can only be specified when the storage safe is set correctly and the contents are empty. Therefore, if there are banknotes left in the storage safe, these banknotes will not be mixed with banknotes to be processed from now on.

Therefore, there is no risk of mismatch between the number of banknotes in the safe and the number of processed banknotes, and there is no risk of a mixed state due to remaining banknotes even though it is desired to store them in a single denomination. When the storage key 78 is input for mode selection, the storage mode is then designated.

If nothing is specified or the clear key 79d is input, the storage 0 mode is entered. When the storage 1 mode is set here, a 10,000 yen note is placed in the storage safe 37.

The storage safe 38 is set to store 1,000 yen notes, and the storage safe 39 is set to store other notes, ie, 500 yen notes and 5,000 yen notes. At the same time, the set mode is stored in the RAM 107. After setting the tickets in the supply section 11 all at once, the operator presses the start button 94. Then, the banknotes P are taken out by the take-out roller 26, inspected by the inspection section (29), passed through the gate 31, passed through the conveyance path (27b), and temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation warehouses (32), (3B), and (34). At the same time, the display devices 81a to 81d of the display device (20) display count data for each denomination, that is, the amount, and the display device 81e displays the total amount. At this time, since the storage 1 mode is set, temporary storage 31 has 10,000 yen bills, 32 has 1,000 yen bills, and 33 has other (5,000 yen bills,
500 yen notes) are accumulated.

Note that during the inspection and counting, the display devices 81a to 81d sequentially display the counting results, that is, the number of bills, and when the inspection and counting of the bills that have been inserted in bulk are completed, the total amount for each denomination is displayed. . At this time, the display switching key 93 of the operation unit 17
When is pressed, the display devices 81a to 81d display the number of tickets instead of the amount.

Therefore, it can be visually determined whether or not the inspection and coefficient operations are stopped during processing.

Next, the staff member checks the counting data for each denomination and the total amount displayed on the display section (20) and the deposit slip, and if the data match, a Press the completion button 88. Then, the CPU 100 sends a storage operation command to the transport control unit 102. Conveyance control unit 10
2 controls to drive the motor 68 and a drive source (not shown) of the bushing 36.

Then, as the shutter 35 opens, the button shutter 36 descends and the banknotes are stored in the storage safes 37, 38, and 39.

At this time, the microswitches 42a and 42b.

42c detects the operation of the pusher 36, and the sensor 41 detects the presence or absence of banknotes in the temporary storage bins 32, 33, and 34.

When there is no output from any one of the sensors 41a, 4lb, and 41c, the CPU 100 determines that the ticket is stored incorrectly because the ticket remains in the corresponding temporary storage in the temporary storage 32° 33.34. .

Furthermore, if the microswitches 42a, 42b, and 42C do not detect the return of the pusher 36 within a predetermined period of time after the pusher 36 is activated, it means that the pusher 36 has timed out, and the CPU 100 determines that the pusher is not properly stored. judge. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the shutter 35 is also detected by the reed switches 70a and 70b, and when the shutter 35 is not closed within a predetermined period of time, the shutter time has expired and the CPU 100 determines that the storage is defective.

When it is determined that the storage is defective, the display unit 84 of the display device 20
The LED lamp will light up to notify the staff.

Furthermore, the operations of the shutter 36 and the shutter 35 are detected even outside the above-mentioned storage operation command, and if it is detected that the shutter 35 opens or the shutter 36 operates when the storage operation command is not issued from the CPU 100, It is determined that there is an abnormality in the storage device, and the L of the display section 84 of the display device 20 is
The ED lamp will light up to notify the staff.

In this way, when an abnormality occurs on the safe side, since the storage failure and storage device abnormality are displayed, the status of the device can be known and the staff can move on to the next task.

On the other hand, when comparing the displayed data with the deposit slip, if the data does not match, press the return button (86) provided on the operation section (17). By inputting the input, the electromagnetic lock (24) is released, and the temporary accumulation section (45) can be pulled out in the direction of arrow X, the force direction, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the staff member must
5) The tickets P accumulated in 5) can be taken out and returned. At this time, the data displayed on the display devices (two) and the data stored in the RAM are
Cleared by 0.

200 and 2,000 tickets can be accumulated in the above-mentioned temporary accumulation boxes 32 to 34 and storage safes 37 to 3, respectively, and during processing, the counter device 111 counts how many tickets are currently accumulated in each. There is. For example, when the temporary stacking box 32 reaches 200 bills and becomes full during processing in the storage 1 mode described above, the CPU 100 and the conveyance control device 103 so that the subsequent bills P are guided to the open pocket 14 and stacked therein. Controlled by The same applies to other safes. Therefore, even if the temporary storage is full during deposit processing, deposit processing can be continued, improving processing efficiency.

Next, when the storage 1 mode process described above is completed and you want to organize the tickets, first set the mode. For example, when the counting key is pressed and the counting mode is set, the staff member next selects the ticket P . . are supplied to the supply section (11) all at once, and the start button 94 of the operation section 17 is pressed. Then, the above field P・
... are taken out one by one by the take-out roller 26, passed through the thickness detection section 28 and the inspection section 29, and then transferred to the open pocket 14.
, 15°16 are classified and accumulated by denomination. At this time, if the number of sheets key 89 is pressed in advance on the operation section 17 to specify the number of sheets of 100 sheets, the loading is stopped at the same time as 100 open pocket-10,000 yen bills P are accumulated, and the stacked By removing the 10,000 yen bill (P), the conveyance is restarted and the stacking is performed. Similarly, 5,000 yen bills (P) are accumulated in the open pocket 14, and 1,000 yen bills (P) are accumulated in the open pocket. These accumulated data are then displayed on the display section (20).

Note that banknotes that cannot be identified by the inspection section 29 or those that have been taken in duplicate are rejected and accumulated in the open pocket for delinquency.

When the arrangement is completed and processing is to be performed in the storage mode again, the storage key 78 is pressed. Then, during the first setting, R
The mode "Storage 1" stored in AM 108 is automatically set. This mode will not be changed until the safe is replaced, and if you press the storage key 78 from now on, the storage 1
The mode will be set automatically. Therefore, there is no possibility that another denomination will enter the storage safe 37, 38 due to a mode change by mistake. Also, there is no need to set the mode again.
Operator work can be reduced.

Next, when the user wants to interrupt, that is, when the amount of money deposited is too large to wait until the deposit is completed, the interrupt key 80 is pressed.

Then, other processing can be performed while the data being processed is stored in the RAM 108. That is, the staff member sets the desired work mode and performs the work.

When the process is finished, press the interrupt key 80 again or press the storage key 80 to return to the original storage 1.
Return to mode. Then, when the remaining banknotes are processed in the storage mode again, the counting result after the interruption is added to the counting value before the interruption.

Furthermore, even if the mode is not in storage mode but in a mode for organizing counts etc., it is possible to interrupt and organize counts etc. In this case as well, when the interrupt counting process is finished and the interrupt key 80 is pressed, it will automatically restart again. Return to original mode. Therefore, there is no need to specify the mode again, which reduces the operator's work. There is also no risk of accidentally changing the mode.

Furthermore, when setting the storage mode, if the storage O mode is set, the banknotes P are stored in the storage safe in a mixed state. That is, the banknotes P are stored in a mixed state in the storage safe 37, and when the storage safe 37 is full, the storage destination is switched to the storage safe 38, and when the storage safe 38 is full, the banknotes are stored in the storage safe 39. .

Therefore, the storage safe can be used effectively, the frequency of replacing the safe is reduced, and work efficiency is improved.

In addition to the above, when the deposit/arrangement key 78 is set and a coefficient is set, the deposit process is performed using the open pocket.

When , the banknote P is in the open pocket 14, 15° 16
Coefficient data etc. are handled in the same way as in a storage mode machine. This is the case, for example, when a teller or the like makes a direct deposit, and there is no need to store the money in the storage.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the depositing operation can be continued even when the deposit box is full, so that the work efficiency is greatly improved. Also, you can be sure of the amount of money being deposited.
