(3) -1 Loading of bill

Fig. 9 is a flow chart for explaining the loading processing of the banknotes, and Fig. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the banknote loading processing by the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1. Fig. This process is executed by a person in charge who stores the banknote in the loading counter 50 of the front bank note storing mechanism 1F and inputs the loading operation start from the information inputting section 111. [ In the step of Fig. 9, the banknotes stored in the pick-up roll 50 are conveyed to the recycle box 40 through the upper banknote handling mechanism 1U. 10 is fed to the conveying path 60M of the connecting and conveying mechanism 1Tf by the feed roller 50b and the gate roller 50c and the conveying path 60K of the connecting and conveying mechanism 1Tf, And is conveyed to the upper bank bill handling mechanism 1U again. The banknotes are conveyed from the conveying path 60K to the banknote identification unit 20 through the conveying paths 60G, 60F, 60I and 60B by switching of the gate mechanisms 74, 73 and 71. [ In step S106, the banknote identification unit 20 identifies a banknote that passes through the conveying route 21. [ That is, the paper currency discrimination unit 20 discriminates the number of paper money by the passing detection sensor 22, introduces the image of the paper money by the camera 24, and the money denomination discrimination sensor 23 measures the authenticity of the paper money, And the like. These pieces of information are transmitted to and processed by the terminal control unit 1C and the high-level control unit 100 shown in Fig. In step S108, it is determined whether the banknote is a normal banknote or a rejected banknote based on the information from the banknote identification part 20. [ That is, when a plurality of banknotes are stacked or when the banknotes are not regarded as normal banknotes due to contamination or the like, they are determined as rejected banknotes. If it is determined in step S108 that the banknote is a normal banknote, the flow advances to step S110, and the banknote is transported corresponding to the denomination of the recycle box 40A to 40D of the lower bank note storage mechanism 1L, as shown in Fig. That is, the banknotes are conveyed from the conveying path 21 to the second branch merging section 62 through the conveying path 60C. The gate mechanism 72 of the second branch merging section 62 is switched to the side of the connection conveying mechanism 1Tu so that the lower bank bill accommodating mechanism 1Tu via the conveying path 60D and the conveying path 60J of the connection conveying mechanism 1Tu, (1L). By switching the gate mechanism 75, the banknotes are conveyed to any one of the recycle boxes 40A to 40D. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S108 that the banknote is a rejected bank note, the flow advances to step S112 to be transferred to the recycle box 40E by switching the gate mechanism 75, as shown by the broken line in FIG. That is, when the banknote to be loaded in the recycle box 40 is a non-reflux banknote, a plurality of banknotes are fed out, or the banknote discriminating unit does not normally read banknote information, the recycled banknote 40E Lt; / RTI >

Subsequently, in step S114, the number and timing of banknotes that go out from the front banknote storing mechanism 1F to the upper banknote processing mechanism 1U, or from the upper banknote processing mechanism 1U to the lower banknote storing mechanism 1L, If it is determined from the passage detecting sensors 26F, 26U, 25U, and 25L that the banknote is not normally transported by the detection signal, an abnormal process is performed in step S116. That is, the fact that the conveyance is not normally performed is displayed on the information display unit 1D, and processing corresponding to the abnormal content is taken. When it is determined in step S118 that all the banknotes have been loaded normally, the present process is terminated.

(3) -2 Deposit processing

(a) Deposit transfer processing

Fig. 11 is a flow chart for explaining the depositing process, and Figs. 12 and 13 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the operation in the depositing process of the banknote deposit and dispensing apparatus 1. Fig. In step S122 of Fig. 11, when the person in charge selects the depositing operation from the information inputting section 11 and the banknote is put in the depositing section 10, the flow advances to step S124. In step S124, the deposited banknotes are conveyed from the deposit unit 10 to the banknote identification unit 20. 12, the bank notes of the depositing unit 10 are conveyed one by one by the pick-up roller 11P, the feed roller 11F, and the gate roller 11G constituting the paper currency delivering mechanism 11, And is conveyed to the conveying path 21 inside the paper currency discriminating portion 20 by the gate mechanism 71 and the conveying path 60B in the first branch merging portion 61. [ In step S126, the bill identifying section 20 obtains information for identifying the banknote as described above, and these information are transmitted to the terminal control section 1C, the upper control section 100, And processed. In step S128, it is determined whether the banknote is a normal banknote or a rejected banknote based on the processing result of the host control unit 100 based on the sensor signals from the banknote identification unit 20. [ If it is determined in step S128 that the banknote is the normal banknote, the flow advances to step S130, and the banknote is conveyed to the recycle box 40 of the lower banknote storing mechanism 1L. In step S130, the banknotes are sorted and transported to the recycle boxes 40A to 40D corresponding to denominations based on the detection signal from the denomination discrimination sensor 23. [ That is, as shown in Fig. 12, the banknotes conveyed from the banknote identification part 20 are conveyed to the second branch merging part 62 through the conveying path 60C. At this time, since the gate mechanism 72 of the second branch merging portion 62 is switched to the connection conveying mechanism 1Tu side, the banknotes are conveyed through the conveying path 60D and the conveying path 60J of the connection conveying mechanism 1Tu And is transported to the lower bank note storage mechanism 1L. By switching the gate mechanism 75, the banknotes are conveyed to any one of the recycle boxes 40A to 40D. In the case where, for example, a banknote of 2000 yen is put into the deposit unit 10 as a non-reflux banknote, as shown by the broken line in Fig. 12, based on the information acquired in the banknote identification unit 20 And is returned to the recycle box 40E by the result of the money denomination discriminated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S128 that the banknote is a rejected bank note, the flow advances to step S132 to switch the gate mechanisms 72, 73, and 74 on the conveying paths 60E and 60F , 60H to the dispensing unit 30.

If it is determined in step S134 that there is no banknote in the withdrawal section 30 and it is determined that there is no banknote, the money accumulated in the recycle box 40A to 40D as the normal banknote is displayed on the information display section 1D in step S136. . By this display, it is determined whether or not the displayed amount is equal to the amount deposited in the depositing unit 10. In step S140, it is confirmed that the deposited amount is normal, and if there is an input from the information inputting section 11I, the depositing process is ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S134 that there is a bank note in the withdrawal unit 30, in step S138, an alarm is displayed on the information display unit 1D, or a warning sound is generated to take out the rejected bank note To the person in charge. As a result, the person in charge can know the presence or absence of rejected bills. In the case where there is a rejected bank note, a process such as charging the bank note to the deposit unit 10 is performed again. In step S140, the cancellation process is selected by the person in charge for reasons such as the fact that the money amount is not correct. When the fact is input from the information inputting section 11, the cancellation returning process is executed in step S142, The processing is terminated.

(b) Deposit Cancellation Processing

Fig. 14 is a flow chart for explaining a cancellation returning process. Fig. 15 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation of the cancellation returning process by the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1. Fig. For example, if a request from a counter user causes the person in charge to quit the deposit operation, the cancellation return processing (step S142 in Fig. 11) is executed when the cancellation return operation is performed from the information inputting section 11. First, in step S152 of Fig. 14, banknotes are fed out from the recycle box 40 (40A to 40E) by the amount of money deposited one by one. 15, the delivered bank notes are conveyed to the bank note identification unit 20 via the conveying paths 60L, 60J, 60D, and 60C by switching the gate mechanisms 75, 72, 71, 73, The banknotes are conveyed from the banknote identification part 20 toward the withdrawal part 30 through the conveying paths 21, 60B, 60I, 60F, and 60H.

When the banknote passes through the banknote identification unit 20, the information of the banknote is read out by the passage detection sensor 22, the denomination discrimination sensor 23 and the camera 24 introducing the image of the banknote in step S154 And transmitted to the terminal control unit 1C, the upper control unit 100, and the like. In step S158, it is determined whether or not the information of the bill extracted from the recycle box 40A matches the information of the bill upon deposit. That is, although the base number is assigned a base number indicative of the unique number of the bill, the base number is extracted from the image information of the bill, and the extracted bill is compared with the base number of the bill upon deposit. Then, in step S160, it is determined whether the information of the banknote coincides. That is, a plurality of banknotes are drawn out from the recycle bins 40 (40A to 40D) at the time of the cancellation return operation, or the banknotes are skewed and the information of the banknotes is normally read out from the banknote identification unit 20 Or the like does not occur, it is assumed that all of them are banknotes deposited at the time of the transaction. Therefore, if it is determined in step S160 that there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to the next step S166. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is abnormality, an abnormality signal is generated in step S164, and the process proceeds to step S166.

In step S166, the process returns to step S152 until it is confirmed that all the banknotes deposited in step S152 have been conveyed and that all the banknotes have been conveyed. In step S168, it is determined whether or not an abnormal signal has been generated. When there is no abnormality signal generated in step S164, the present process is terminated. By this process, the person in charge can receive the specified amount of bank notes from the withdrawal unit 30, that is, return the deposited bank notes.

In order to confirm that the deposited banknote and the canceled banknote match, information on the banknote deposited at the time of the transaction and the banknote returned to the withdrawal section 30 at the time of cancellation is displayed on the information display section 1D do. 16 (A) shows an embodiment of information on a bill displayed on the information display section 1D. The information displayed here includes the data number 401 automatically assigned according to the processed order, the processing job ID 402 of the corresponding banknote, and the unprocessed clock (not shown) built in the upper control unit 100 between the corresponding processing jobs Time information 403 measured by means of image information 404 of the corresponding bill and image information 405 photographed by the external camera 120 between processing operations of the corresponding bill. These five types of information are in one set. These information are automatically stored in an information storage unit (not shown) provided in the upper control unit 100 via a communication line (not shown). For example, the information input unit 1I inputs information ), Information on the corresponding processing job designated by the person in charge is displayed on the information display section 1D. Here, the data number 401 is a number automatically assigned from the system by the date and the like to be processed, and the processing job ID 402 of the banknote is stored in the order of banknotes passing through the banknote identification unit 20 in each processing job It is an ID automatically assigned. In this embodiment, the order of deposited bank notes and the order of canceled bank notes are opposite to each other, so that, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 16A, the time information of the corresponding bank notes becomes the opposite information. The person in charge can check the banknotes deposited from the information such as the denomination and the base number of the banknote that can be read from the image information of the banknote shown in the information display section 1D, It can be confirmed that the bills are the same. In addition, when there is a request from the customer, the information of the customer can be disclosed, and the customer can be grasped.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S168 that there is an abnormality signal, for example, in the case where the deposited bank notes and the withdrawal banknote number do not coincide with each other, the information displayed on the information display section 1D 16 (B). Fig. 16B shows an example in which the first one of the bills to be returned is stacked and fed out. In this case, the deposited banknote is a banknote which is conveyed to the banknote identification unit 20 for the first time when the banknote returned to the banknote identification unit 20 is canceled. However, since two sheets are fed at the same time, the information of the banknote returned to the banknote identification unit 20 at the time of cancellation is displayed as information deviating from the information of the corresponding banknote returned at the time of depositing. And, in the last banknote which is canceled and returned, the banknote deposited at the time of another deposit processing is displayed as a return banknote. On the other hand, the display information of the cancellation return contains the detection results such as " multiple sheets return " and " unit number mismatch " detected in the comparison processing in step S160 as the data number 401, 402), the time information 403 measured by the clock means between the corresponding processing jobs, the image information 404 of the corresponding bank notes, and the image information Together with the error signal 405, is displayed together with the error signal generated in step S164 as the error information 406. [ The person in charge can confirm from the information of these bills which bills are deposited in the bill. Using the result of the checking, the banknotes returned to the withdrawal unit 30 are collated to extract only the corresponding banknote as a banknote to be canceled and returned. Even in this case, the information may be disclosed by a request from the customer. At this time, bills not to be canceled at this time are put into the deposit unit 10 by the person in charge and stored again in the apparatus. At this time, the person in charge inputs a code from the information inputting section 11 to inform the apparatus that the banknote is not deposited, but is processing of the banknote at the time of other transaction processing, and performs processing. As the abnormal information, in addition to the above-described " multiple sheets return ", for example, when the bill is skewed and the bill information is not normally read in the bill identifying portion 20, After this, the person in charge can display useful information that can match the deposited banknote with the banknote to be canceled.

The person in charge can recognize that the banknotes returned to the withdrawal unit 30 are inconsistent with the deposited banknotes by looking at the abnormal display, and furthermore, the banknote image information collected at the time of depositing displayed on the information display unit 1D The person in charge refers to the image information of the banknote that has passed through the camera 24 before the occurrence of the trouble at the time of cancellation, and the person in charge includes the banknote remaining in the conveying mechanism 60 or the recycle box 40, It is possible to confirm whether or not it is. In addition, it is possible to know a state in which the apparatus can not be started due to a trouble such as jamming when the cause of the abnormality is canceled. At this time, an image photographed with an external camera is also displayed, so that it can be displayed in accordance with the time, the state near the apparatus, and the other information such as the person in charge of handling the apparatus or the state of the customer, .

As the data displayed on the abnormal display screen, it is possible to appropriately select each of the above-described data, for example, to appropriately select the display of the base number of the banknote, the information of the coincidence or discordance, the image information of the entire banknote, Or various information related to the transaction status may be appropriately added.

(3) -3 Withdrawal processing

Next, the withdrawal processing will be described. Fig. 17 is a flow chart for explaining withdrawal processing, and Figs. 18 and 19 are explanatory diagrams for explaining operations in withdrawal processing of the banknote deposit and dispensing apparatus 1. Fig. 17, the person in charge selects the withdrawal operation from the information inputting section 11 and inputs the withdrawal amount from the information inputting section 11, in step S204, in response to the input amount, the banknote is re- 40 (40A to 40D)], and are conveyed to the banknote identification unit 20. [ 18, the bill delivered from the recycle box 40 (40A to 40D) is conveyed to the bank note identification unit 20 via the conveying paths 60L, 60J, 60D, and 60C. At this time, the gate mechanism 72 is switched to convey the banknotes to the conveying path 60C. In the succeeding step S206, similarly to the deposit process, the bill is identified by the bill identification unit 20, and the signal is transferred to the terminal control unit 1C and the higher-level control unit 100. [

If it is determined in step S208 that the banknotes are normally transported, the flow advances to step S210, and the banknotes are transported to the withdrawal unit 30. 18, the banknotes are conveyed from the conveying path 21 to the dispensing unit 30 through the conveying paths 60B, 60I, 60F, and 60H. At this time, the gate mechanisms 71, 73, and 74 are switched, respectively.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S208 that the banknote is not normal, the flow advances to step S212, and the banknote is conveyed to the loading recovery height 50 of the front banknote storing mechanism 1F as shown in Fig. At this time, the gate mechanism 74 is switched so that the banknote is conveyed to the conveying path 60G at a timing at which the banknote judged as conveying is conveyed to the loading and recovering unit 50. If it is determined in step S214 that the withdrawal amount is not returned by the amount input in step S202, that is, if it is determined that there is a bank note conveyed to the loading recovery counter 50 on the withdrawn bank note, the process returns to step S204, The same number of denominations as the number of denominations. When the withdrawal amount is transferred to the withdrawal unit 30 in step S214, the flow advances to step S216 to open the door of the withdrawal unit 30. When all the banknotes are withdrawn in step S218, the withdrawal process is terminated . On the other hand, if the banknote is not taken out, the take-out forgetting process is performed in step S220. The take-out forgetting process can be performed by displaying on the information display section 1D, issuing a warning sound, or the like.

(3) -4 Collection of bills

Fig. 20 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the collection processing of bills by the bank note depositing and dispensing apparatus 1. Fig. The recovery process is basically the reverse of the loading operation of the banknote. That is, the banknote collecting program causes the banknotes to be fed out one by one from the corresponding recycle box 40 to be conveyed to the conveying path 60L of the lower banknote storing mechanism, the conveying path 60J of the connecting and conveying mechanism 1Tu, 60B, 60I, 60F, 60G of the bill processing mechanism 1U to the banknote identification unit 20 via the conveying paths 60D, 60C of the bill processing mechanism 1U, And is returned to the loading recovery unit 50. At this time, in the case of the recovery operation, the bill is also drawn out from the recycle box 40E containing the non-reflux banknotes. In addition, when the banknote identification unit 20 determines that the banknote is a rejected banknote, the banknote identification unit 20 conveys the banknote to the withdrawal unit 30. The person in charge moves the paper money returned to the withdrawal unit 30 at the time of withdrawal processing to the other paper stocker or the like by hand once and inputs information such as the amount of the paper money or the denomination, The information can be managed by the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1.

(5) Another embodiment

(5) -1 FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining the cancellation return processing according to another embodiment. This cancellation return processing is performed by using the loading recovery facility 50 in the front banknote storing mechanism 1F so that the loading recovery processing can be carried out in the case where there is an error during the transportation from the recycling box 40 to the delivering unit 30 ), Temporarily stores it again, identifies the banknote again, and then returns to the recycle box (40). That is, after inputting the cancellation return operation, banknotes are fed out to the banknote identification unit 20 one by one from the recycle box 40 (step S242) The bill information is introduced (step S246), and the base numbers and the like of the bank notes are compared again (step S248). In the subsequent step S250, it is determined whether or not the bill information such as the base number of the bill matches the bill to be matched in the case of the deposit process and the cancellation return. If they coincide with each other, they are transferred to the withdrawal unit 30 to generate an abnormal signal. If they do not coincide with each other, they are transferred to the loading recovery unit 50 to generate an abnormal signal. When all of the deposited bank notes have been conveyed (step S260), it is judged whether or not there is a bank note in the loading recovery counter 50 (step S262). If it is affirmative, the bank notes as shown in FIG. Information is displayed (step S264), and cancel abnormality processing is executed (step S266).

Fig. 22 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the banknote which has been abnormally processed at the time of cancellation return. In step S270, the banknotes temporarily stored in the loading recovery counter 50 are returned to the recycle box 40 via the banknote identification part 20. [ At this time, if there is no abnormality in conveyance (step S272), information of the banknote is acquired by the banknote identification unit 20 (step S274), and the returned banknote is also compared with the deposited banknote (step S276). In step S278, it is determined whether or not the banknotes stored in the loading collection counter 50 coincide with the deposited banknote (step S278). If they coincide, a coincidence signal upon deposit is generated (step S280). If they do not coincide with each other, it is determined whether or not they coincide with the banknotes that have been canceled and returned (step S282). When the determination in S282 coincides with the determination, a match signal is generated at the time of cancellation return (step S284). After all the bills are completely conveyed (step S288), at least one bank note to be returned from the recycle box 40 to the loading recovery counter 50 when there is a coincidence signal at the time of depositing, (Step S290), a signal for performing the cancel return operation is generated (step S292). Thus, when the banknote returned from the loading recovery counter 50 to the recycle box 40 is detected as a banknote whose banknote coincides with at least one banknote bank note, it is possible to carry out the return process at the time of banknote depositing again, Cancel can be returned. Also in this operation, as shown in Figs. 16A and 16B, image information and the like of the bill that has passed through the bill identification part may be displayed on the information display part 1D. By doing so, it becomes easy for the person in charge to identify the spot of the banknote deposited at the time of depositing.

(5) -2 In the loading processing described with reference to FIG. 9, when the number of bills to be handled is small, a bill is inputted into the deposit unit 10, , And then conveyed to the recycle box 40 may be employed. The withdrawal processing may be a processing for conveying banknotes from the recycle box 40 to the dispensing section 30 by inputting a withdrawal command from the information inputting section 11, as in the withdrawal processing when the banknotes are a small amount.

In this depositing process, in order to transfer the destination of the banknotes put into the depositing unit 10 to the depositing process of Fig. 11 according to the first embodiment to the loading and collecting counter 50 instead of the recycle box 40, Are different. That is, after the banknote is transferred from the depositing unit 10 to the banknote identification unit 20 (step S324) and the banknote identification information is acquired by the banknote identification unit 20 (step S328) It is determined whether or not the banknote is normal (step S328). If the banknote is normal, the flow advances to step S330. 23, the gate mechanism 72 transfers the banknotes from the conveying path 60C to the conveying path 60E and the gate mechanism 74B transfers the banknotes to the front banknote storing mechanism 1F at step S330 . Thereby, the banknotes are conveyed to the front banknote storage mechanism 1F through the conveying paths 60E, 60F, and 60G, and stored in the loading and recovering storage 50. [ On the other hand, if it is determined in step S328 that the banknote is a rejected bank note, the flow advances to step S332 to be conveyed to the withdrawal unit 30 as in the first embodiment.

In step S334, it is determined whether there is a banknote in the withdrawal unit 30. If there is a banknote, a warning is sent to the person in charge in step S336 to prompt the person in charge to input the banknote again to the depositing unit 10 . If there is no banknote in the withdrawal unit 30 in step S334, a display for confirming the display of the deposit amount is made in step S338. In step S340, when the banknote is confirmed by the input of the person in charge, the banknote loading processing is executed in step S342. The loading process of the banknotes is a process for conveying the banknotes from the loading recovery counter 50 described in Fig. 9 to the recycle bins 40. Fig.

On the other hand, in the case of an affirmative determination in step S340, in step S350, a cancellation return process for returning the banknote from the loading recovery counter 50 to the deposit unit 30 is executed. 28 is a flowchart for explaining the cancellation return processing of the banknotes. In step S352, the gate mechanism 74B is switched from the conveying path 60G to the conveying path 60H so as to return the banknote to the dispensing unit 30, as shown in Fig. In step S354, the banknotes stored in the loading / unloading storage 50 replacing the temporary storage are transported to the payout unit 30 via the conveying paths 60M, 60K, 60G, and 60H. When it is determined in step 356 that all the banknotes have been fed out by the loading recovery counter 50, the flow advances to step S358. If the canceling operation is not normally performed in step S358, an abnormal process such as an alarm is executed in step S360. Thus, the paper money temporarily stored in the loading and collecting bin 50 is returned to the payout unit 30. [ The banknotes returned to the withdrawal unit 30 in this way are taken out by the person in charge and returned to the customer or executed the deposit process again.
