- the 100-yuan banknote bundle is transported by the transport belt 33 and is withdrawn to the banknote bundle dispensing port 18 (step R7).
- the 100 yuan banknotes accumulated in the banding stacking unit 15 reach 100 sheets and the stacked banknotes are given to the banding device 17, the 100 yuan banknotes sent next are stacked in the banding stacking unit 16.
- the stacked banknotes of the banding stacking unit 16 are banded by the banding device 17. In this way, by allowing the banding stacking units 15 and 16 to alternately stack the banknotes until the predetermined number of sheets is reached, the dispensing of a large number of sheets can be performed smoothly without interruption.
- step R4 When it is determined in step R4 that the band is not sealed, the 100 yuan banknotes fed out from the second storage 9b are withdrawn through the branch path 20 to the withdrawal port 8 (step R8).
- step R2 when it is determined that the withdrawal banknote is not a 100-yuan banknote (NO in step R2), the banknote is fed out from the fifth storage 9e. More specifically, when the operation unit 12 is operated by the operator and a withdrawal command for 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes or 10 yuan banknotes is given, the banknotes are fed out from the fifth storage 9e.
- the 50 yuan banknote, the 20 yuan banknote, and the 10 yuan banknote are accumulated and accommodated in a mixed state without being distinguished. Therefore, all the banknotes fed out from the fifth storage 9e are not necessarily banknotes for which withdrawal is requested. For example, if the current withdrawal request is a 50 yuan banknote, the fed banknote is transported through the transport path 6 and is identified again by the identification unit 5, whereby the withdrawal requested banknote (for example, 50 yuan). (Banknote) is identified (step R10).
- the fed banknote is not a withdrawal type (for example, when a 50 yuan banknote is requested to be dispensed and the identified banknote is not a 50 yuan banknote but a 20 yuan banknote or a 10 yuan banknote (NO in step R10 ).
- the bill is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 14 (step R12).
- step R10 if it is determined that the fed banknote is a withdrawal type (YES in step R10), it is then determined whether or not a command to seal the withdrawal banknote is given (step R11). .
- step R11 the processing of steps R5, R6, and R7 described above is performed, and the banknotes to be withdrawn are banded and withdrawn from the banknote bundle dispensing port 18.
- step R11 when an instruction to seal the band is not given (NO in step R11), the banknote is withdrawn from the withdrawal port 8 (step R8). Further, when the withdrawal is determined for the banknote that is not denominated to be withdrawn and conveyed to the temporary holding unit 14 at the time of withdrawal (YES in Step R13), the fifth storage 9e is again returned from the temporary holding unit 14. To be stored (step R14).
- the temporary storage unit 14 is in a state where the banknote is emptied, so that it becomes possible to cope with the next deposit or withdrawal.
- the 1st storage 9a provided so that a large amount of banknotes can be accommodated can be functioned as a temporary storage part. Therefore, a large amount of banknotes can be held at a time by temporarily holding 100 yuan banknotes that tend to be deposited in large quantities in the first storage 9a that functions as a temporary storage unit. Since the processing can be prevented from being interrupted, the time from the start of deposit to the completion of deposit can be shortened.
- the bill processing apparatus 1 can be saved without increasing the size, and space saving can be achieved. Further, 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes and 10 yuan banknotes other than 100 yuan banknotes with a large handling amount can be temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 14. As described above, the temporary storage unit 14 can temporarily hold a plurality of denomination banknotes in a mixed state, so that further downsizing of the banknote processing apparatus 1 can be realized.
- a plurality of storages 9b to 9d can be set as a 100 yuan banknote storage for a 100 yuan banknote with a large amount of deposit.
- a 100 yuan banknote is deposited in large quantities, it can be stored without any inconvenience, and the banknote processing apparatus 1 can be almost completely stopped due to the storage 9 being full.
- 50 yuan banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes, and 10 yuan banknotes with a small handling amount can be stored in a small storage space.
- any one of the storages 9a to 9e can be freely set as a temporary holding unit.
- any one of the storages 9a to 9e can be freely set as a single denomination storage.
- any of the storages 9a to 9e can be freely set as a mixed storage.
- any one of the second, third and fourth storages 9b, 9c, 9d set as storages of the same denomination is stored for the banknotes facing up. It is good also as a storehouse and another storehouse is good also as a storehouse only for a banknote facing backwards. If it carries out like this, when paying out 100 yuan banknotes at the time of withdrawal, it can be banded with the banding device 17 by aligning the front and back of the banknotes by feeding out from the front banknote storage or the backside banknote storage. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a banknote bundle in which the front and back sides of the banknote are aligned.
- step S4 100 yuan facing up in step S2, step S3.
- step S4 100 yuan facing down may be set.
- step S4 100 yuan facing down may be set.
- a 100 yuan correct ticket may be set in steps S2 and S3, and a 100 yuan lost ticket may be set in step S4.

Abstract
Description
特許文献1では、入金を確定する旨の操作などが行われることにより、一時保留部に保留された紙幣を、貨幣処理装置内に設けられた収納庫に収納する。
一時保留部が満杯になった場合には、入金を一旦停止し、一時保留部の紙幣を収納庫などに移す処理をして一時保留部に空きをつくる。そして、その後、再び入金を受け付ける。このため、入金開始から入金完了までの時間が長くなってしまう。
この発明は、上述のような背景技術のもとになされたものであり、入金の際に多量の貨幣を一度に受け入れることができ、しかも省スペース化を達成できる貨幣処理装置を提供することを目的とする。
上記の構成によれば、通常、大量の貨幣を収容できるように設けられている収納庫を、特定の金種の貨幣を一時的に保留する一時保留部として機能させることができる。したがって、たとえば、一度に大量に入金される傾向の強い特定の金種の貨幣(たとえば、中国においては、100元紙幣)を、一時保留部として機能する収納庫に一時的に保留することにより、一度に大量の貨幣を保留することができ、入金処理が中断しないようにすることができるので、入金開始から入金完了までの時間を短くできる。しかも、もともと収納庫として設けられているものを一時保留部として兼用するので、貨幣処理装置を大型化せずにすみ、省スペース化を達成できる。
上述の構成によれば、取扱量の多い上記特定金種の貨幣以外の所定の貨幣(たとえば、中国においては、50元紙幣、20元紙幣および10元紙幣)は、一時保留部(14)に保留することができる。この一時保留部(14)は、複数の金種の貨幣を混合状態で一時保留できるものにすれば、複数の金種の貨幣に対して共通の一時保留部で対応でき、貨幣処理装置のさらなる小型化を実現できる。
また、この発明の貨幣処理装置(1)において、前記複数の収納庫(9a,9b,9c,9d,9e)は、収納する貨幣の金種を個別に設定でき、複数の収納庫は同一金種の貨幣を収納するための収納庫とし、ある収納庫は複数金種の貨幣を混合で収納するための混合収納庫として設定する第2の設定手段(40)を有する構成としてもよい。
上述の構成によれば、金種以外に、貨幣の属性(貨幣が表向きか裏向きか、貨幣の方向、正損など)によって、貨幣を分けて収納することができる。そして、属性によって分けられた貨幣を、属性を揃えた貨幣束として出金できる。
<全体構成の概要説明>
図1は、この発明の一実施形態に係る貨幣処理装置としての紙幣処理装置1の全体構成を示す図解的な縦断面構造図である。なお、この実施形態では、貨幣として紙幣を取り扱う構成について説明するが、この発明は、貨幣として硬貨を取り扱う貨幣処理装置についても適用することができる。
図1を参照して、紙幣処理装置1は、筐体2を有している。図1における左側が筐体2の正面であり、正面には、紙幣を入金するための入金口としてのホッパー3、開口部に開閉可能なシャッターを有する出金口8、リジェクト紙幣排出口7および紙幣束出金口18が備えられている。
取り込み経路4は、ホッパー3にセットされた紙幣を一枚ずつ取り込み、搬送路6へと送る経路である。
搬送路6は、識別ユニット5で識別された紙幣を搬送するためのものであって、ループ状をなしており、搬送路6上の紙幣は、循環するように搬送され得る。そして、搬送路6の途中に、識別ユニット5が配置され、搬送路6での紙幣の搬送方向(図1における時計回りの方向)に見て、搬送路6における識別ユニット5の下流側には、分岐路20、21、22、23、24、25、26、27の各一端が、この順番で接続されている。
各収納庫9a~9eには、それぞれ、繰り出し機構11a~11eが備えられ、出金時などに収納された紙幣を分岐路23~27へ繰り出させることができる。
ホッパー3から入金されたリジェクト紙幣以外の紙幣は、通常、分岐路21を経て一時保留部14に保留される。そして、入金が確定後、金種に応じて、分岐路23~27のいずれかを経て紙幣収納庫9に収納される。また、各紙幣収納庫9に収納された金種別の紙幣は、各紙幣収納庫9から繰り出され、搬送路6から分岐路22を経て、帯封用集積部15または16へ与えられる。そして、金種別に集積された所定枚数(たとえば、100枚)の集積紙幣Mは、帯封装置17で紙幣束にされ、紙幣束は搬送ベルト33で搬送され、紙幣束出金口18へ出金される。
収納庫9に収納された紙幣を出金する場合には、収納庫9から紙幣が繰り出されて搬送路6に送られ、さらに識別ユニット5で紙幣の金種などが改めて識別される。この紙幣は、さらに、分岐路20を通って出金口8に出金される。
紙幣処理装置1の各収納庫9a~9eは、たとえば1000枚以上の大量の紙幣を収納できるようにされており、一時保留部14は、たとえば数百枚程度の比較的少ない量の紙幣を保留できるようになっている。
<収納庫の設定態様>
図2~図4は、収納庫9a~9eに収納する紙幣金種の異なる設定例を示す図解図である。一例として、中国の元紙幣を扱う場合を説明すると、図2に示すように、第1収納庫9aは、複数の金種の紙幣を金種混合状態で一括して収納する紙幣一括収納庫に設定し、第2収納庫9bは、100元の紙幣を収納する100元紙幣収納庫として設定し、第3収納庫9cは、50元の紙幣を収納する50元紙幣収納庫として設定し、第4収納庫9dは、20元の紙幣を収納する20元紙幣収納庫として設定し、第5収納庫9eは、10元の紙幣を収納する10元紙幣収納庫として設定することができる。このように、1つの収納庫9aを一括収納庫、残り4つの収納庫9b~9eを金種別収納庫として設定するのが基本的な設定である。
また、第2、第3および第4収納庫9b,9c,9dを、100元紙幣を収容するための100元紙幣収納庫として設定することができる。
さらに、第5収納庫9eは、100元(特定の金種)以外の所定の紙幣としての50元紙幣、20元紙幣、10元紙幣を混合で収納するための混合収納庫として設定できる。
中国の元紙幣に代えて欧州のユーロ紙幣を入金処理する場合の設定の一例が、図4である。
<制御回路ブロック>
図5は、紙幣処理装置1の特徴となる制御動作を実行するための制御回路ブロック図であり、この発明の特徴となる動作に必要な構成のみが示されている。
<設定制御動作>
図6は、制御部40の行う設定動作を示すフローチャートである。操作部12の操作に応じて、制御部40は図6に示す設定動作を行う。
操作部12を操作することによって、図3に示すように、各収納庫9の収納金種を設定することができる。設定は、収納庫別に行われる。まず、操作部12の操作に応じ、制御部40は、第1収納庫9aを、100元紙幣を一時的に保留する一時保留部として設定する(ステップS1)。
さらに、制御部40は、第5収納庫9eを、50元、20元および10元紙幣を混合で収納する混合収納庫として設定する(ステップS5)。
設定が完了すると、設定内容は、制御部40に記憶され、紙幣の入金、出金時には、その設定内容が参酌される。
<入金制御動作>
図7は、入金制御動作の一例を示すフローチャートである。図7の流れに従い、図3を参照して、入金制御動作について説明する。
識別ユニット5で識別された100元紙幣は、搬送路6から分岐路27を通って、100元紙幣一時保留部として設定されている第1収納庫9aに搬送され(ステップQ3)、この第1収納庫9aで一時保留される。
なお、この実施形態では、一時保留部14はリールテープ式の保留部とされているが、混載する金種の紙幣の短手方向長さが同程度の場合、一時保留部14は、たとえばリールテープ式の保留部とせず、紙幣を集積して保留しておく型式の保留部とすることもできる。なお、短手方向長さが同程度の長さの紙幣とは、短手方向長さの差がたとえば10mm以内の紙幣をいう。紙幣の短手長さの差がこの範囲内であれば、紙幣を繰り出す際に繰り出し不良を起こすことはない。よって、集積型式の保持部を用いることができるのである。
以上の入金制御処理が行われるから、一度に大量の100元紙幣の入金があっても、途中中断することなく大量の100元紙幣を受け入れることができる。また、入金がキャンセルされた場合であっても、入金された100元紙幣を一時保留部として設定した第1収納庫9aから繰り出して返却することができる。
<出金制御動作>
図8は、出金制御動作の一例を示すフローチャートである。
出金制御動作では、制御部40は、まず出金か否かの判別をする(ステップR1)。出金と判別した場合には、出金する紙幣が100元か否かの判別をする(ステップR2)。
たとえば操作部12が操作され、100元紙幣の出金指令があったときには、ステップR1→R2→R3へと進み、第2収納庫9bから100元紙幣が繰り出される(ステップR3)。そして制御部40は、出金する100元紙幣の帯封をするか否かの判別をする(ステップR4)。
ステップR2において、出金紙幣が100元紙幣でないと判別されたとき(ステップR2でNO)には、第5収納庫9eから紙幣が繰り出される。より具体的には、オペレータにより操作部12が操作され、50元紙幣、20元紙幣または10元紙幣の出金指令が与えられると、第5収納庫9eから紙幣が繰り出される。
そして帯封する場合(ステップR11でYES)には、前述したステップR5、R6、R7の処理が行われて、出金する紙幣は帯封されて紙幣束出金口18から出金される。
また、出金時に、一時保留部14へ搬送された出金すべき金種でない紙幣は、出金終了が判別されると(ステップR13でYES)、一時保留部14から再び第5収納庫9eへ搬送されて収納される(ステップR14)。
以上説明したように、この実施形態によれば、大量の紙幣を収容できるように設けられている第1収納庫9aを、一時保留部として機能させることができる。したがって、一度に大量に入金される傾向の強い100元紙幣を、一時保留部として機能する第1収納庫9aに一時的に保留することにより、一度に大量の紙幣を保留することができ、入金処理が中断しないようにすることができるので、入金開始から入金完了までの時間を短くできる。
また、取扱量の多い100元紙幣以外の50元紙幣、20元紙幣および10元紙幣は、一時保留部14に一時保留することができる。このように、一時保留部14で複数の金種の紙幣を混合状態で一時保留できるようにしてあるので、紙幣処理装置1のさらなる小型化を実現できる。
この発明は、以上説明した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、請求項記載の範囲内において種々の変更が可能である。たとえば、各収納庫9a~9eのいずれを一時保留部に設定するかは自由である。同様に、各収納庫9a~9eのいずれを、一金種収納庫に設定するかは自由である。また、各収納庫9a~9eのいずれを、混合収納庫に設定するかは自由である。
このような紙幣の属性により収納庫を分ける設定をする場合は、図6において、ステップS2,S3,S4で全て100元を設定したのに代え、たとえば、ステップS2で表向きの100元、ステップS3で裏向きの100元、ステップS4で裏向きの100元をそれぞれ設定するようにすればよい。または、ステップS2,S3で100元の正券、ステップS4で100元の損券の設定などをしてもよい。または、ステップS2,S3で、紙幣の方向が第1の方向の100元、ステップS4で紙幣の方向が第2の方向の100元などと設定すればよい。
