Such maintenance and maintenance may be performed at the site where the money handling machine 10 is installed, or may be performed in the factory by bringing the money handling machine 10 back to the factory or the like.

Of the above-mentioned replenishment processing, payment processing, withdrawal processing, delivery processing, mass delivery processing, exchange processing, reverse exchange processing, scrutiny processing, counting processing, tightening processing, tightening linked delivery processing, and security collection processing, payment is made Processing and delivery processing will be described below. Each process shown below is performed by the control unit 15 controlling each component. Here, the control unit 15 is in either one of a delivery non-interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed independently of the delivery process and a delivery interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed in conjunction with the delivery process. It is designed to process money. In addition, each of the payment process and the delivery process shown below is performed by various instructions given to the control unit 15 by the operator via the operation unit 45, or from the cash center 13 or the data center 14 to the controller 12 ( This is performed by issuing various instructions to the control unit 15 via 17).

First, the payment process for banknotes and coins will be described. Here, the payment processing of banknotes and coins means that banknotes taken into the inside from the outside of the housing 11 are paid to each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 by denomination, or the outside of the housing 11. It refers to a process of paying the coins taken in from the inside to each recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 according to denomination. When a bill or coin payment process is performed, the bill or coin taken from the outside of the housing 11 is under the first management authority (under the management authority on the store side).

Next, the banknote and coin withdrawal process will be described. Here, withdrawing processing of banknotes and coins, banknotes stored in the respective recycling-type banknote storage units 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 are taken out of the banknote processing apparatus 20, or each recycling type of the coin processing apparatus 30 is used. This refers to a process of taking out the coins stored in the coin storage unit 34 to the outside of the coin processing device 30. At this time, the amount of money or the number of denominations input by the operation unit 45 is thrown out of the housing 11. The amount of banknotes and coins in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 is reduced by the amount of banknotes and coins for which the withdrawal process has been performed.

Next, the delivery process of banknotes and coins will be described. Here, the delivery process of banknotes and coins refers to sending banknotes stored in each recycling-type banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 to the banknote storage cassette 41 of the currency storage unit 40, or recycling of the coin processing apparatus 30. This refers to a process of sending the coins stored in the coin storage unit 34 to the coin storage cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. When such a delivery process is performed, banknotes and coins sent from the recycle-type banknote storage units 27 and the recycle-type coin storage units 34 to the money storage unit 40 are transferred from the first management authority to the second management authority. Changed below. And the amount of banknotes and coins in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 is reduced by the amount of the banknotes and coins that have been delivered, while the banknotes in the money storage unit 40 The amount of banknotes and coins in the storage cassette 41 and the coin storage cassette 42 increases by the amount of the banknotes and coins that have been delivered.

Hereinafter, the case where the control unit 15 processes money in the delivery non-interlocking mode will be described. In this case, the payment process as described above is performed independently of the delivery process.

First, banknote payment processing in the banknote processing apparatus 20 when the control unit 15 processes money in the non-delivery interlocking mode will be described below with reference to FIG.

For example, when an operator sends a bill payment processing command to the control unit 15 via the operation unit 45, when the operator inserts a bill into the bill insertion port 21 of the bill processing apparatus 20, the bill insertion port 21. The bills thrown into the are transported one by one by the transport unit 25, and the recognition unit 26 identifies the bills. As shown in FIG. 5, when the identification unit 26 identifies a normal banknote, the banknote is sent by the transport unit 25 to the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknote. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the identifying unit 26 identifies the banknote as a rejected banknote or counterfeit bill, the banknote is sent to the banknote rejection port 22 by the transport unit 25. When the bill processing as described above is performed, the bill is counted by the identification unit 26.

In addition, the change counting process may be performed after the banknote payment process as described above is performed. The change counting process refers to a process of withdrawing change from the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 when it is necessary to withdraw change at the time of payment. Specifically, when the operator pays the money deposited from the customer to the money handling machine 10, if the change needs to be withdrawn, the money corresponding to the change obtained by subtracting the price of the item from the amount paid is paid. Will be issued. The withdrawal process from the change money processing machine 10 at this time is called a change counting process. More specifically, banknotes stored in each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 are sent to the banknote reject port 22 by the transport unit 25 via the identification unit 26, whereby the banknotes as change are dispensed.

Even in the coin payment process in the coin processing device 30 when the control unit 15 processes the money in the delivery non-interlocking mode, the bill payment process in the bill processing apparatus 20 as described above is performed from the outside of the housing 11. Coins thrown into the inside are stored in each recycle type coin storage section 34 according to denomination.

Here, while the money is being processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode as described above, the money is stored in at least one of the recycled banknote storage units 27 in the banknote processing apparatus 20. Of the coins stored in the recycle coin storage unit 34 of at least one of the recycle coin storage units 34 in the coin processing device 30 when the amount of bills reached reaches a preset set amount. When the amount reaches a preset amount, the control unit 15 in the banknote handling apparatus 20 and the coin handling apparatus 30 processes bills and coins in the delivery interlocking mode. Here, the preset set amount is, for example, the amount of banknotes and coins that each recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 are full (stacker is full). Say. The set amount is not limited to such an example. Instead, the amount of bills or coins necessary as change or an arbitrary amount may be set as the set amount.

At this time, when the amount of banknotes stored in at least one of the recyclable banknote storage units 27 of the banknote processing device 20 reaches the set amount, the control unit 15 All banknotes of denomination are processed in the delivery interlocking mode. Further, the control unit 15 is configured so that when the amount of coins stored in at least one of the recycle type coin storage units 34 of the coin processing device 30 reaches a set amount, For coins of denomination, the coins are processed in the delivery interlocking mode.

In addition, the control part 15 is at least any one recycle type banknote in each recycle type banknote storage part 27 in any one processing apparatus (for example, banknote processing apparatus 20) among the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the coin processing apparatus 30. When the amount of banknotes stored in the storage unit 27 reaches a set amount, the banknote processing apparatus 20 processes the banknotes in the delivery interlocking mode, but the other processing apparatus (for example, the coin processing apparatus 30) uses each recycle type. When the amount of coins stored in the coin storage unit 34 is smaller than the set amount, the coin processing device 30 processes coins in the delivery non-interlocking mode.

In addition, when banknotes and coins of the same denomination are stored in a plurality of recyclable banknote storage units 27 and recycleable coin storage units 34, the set amount is previously set for each denomination of banknotes and coins. Is set. The control unit 15 stores the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 or the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 in one or more recycle-type banknote storage units 27 or the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 corresponding to one denomination. When the total value of the amount of bills and coins reached the set amount corresponding to one denomination, the money is processed in the delivery interlocking mode.

Hereinafter, a case where the control unit 15 processes money in the delivery interlocking mode will be described. In this case, the payment process as described above is performed in conjunction with the delivery process.

The banknote payment process in the banknote processing apparatus 20 when the control unit 15 processes money in the delivery interlocking mode will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C.

When an operator sends a bill payment processing instruction to the control unit 15 via the operation unit 45, when the operator inserts a bill into the bill insertion port 21 of the bill processing apparatus 20, The inserted bills are transported one by one by the transport unit 25, and the recognition unit 26 identifies the bills. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the identification unit 26 identifies a normal banknote, and the amount of banknotes stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknotes has not reached the set amount. The bill is sent by the transport unit 25 to the recyclable bill storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the bill. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the identifying unit 26 identifies that the banknote is a rejected banknote such as a damaged bill or a fake bill, the banknote is sent to the banknote reject port 22 by the transport unit 25. When the amount of banknotes stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknotes identified by the identification unit 26 has already reached the set amount, as shown in FIG. Is sent to the banknote storage unit 29 by the transport unit 25.

After that, the delivery process as shown below is automatically performed. That is, after the payment process, even if the operator does not operate anything, all the banknotes in each recycling-type banknote storage unit 27 are sent to the banknote storage unit 29 (see FIG. 6B). And the banknote hold | maintained at the banknote storage part 29 is accommodated in the banknote storage cassette 41 by pushing the "confirmation key" in the operation part 45, and a delivery process will be made (refer FIG. 6C).

Similarly to the banknote payment process in the banknote processing apparatus 20 as described above, the coin payment process in the coin processing apparatus 30 when the control unit 15 processes the money in the delivery interlocking mode is performed from the outside of the housing 11. The coins placed in the recycle coin storage unit 34 are stored in each recycle coin storage unit 34 according to denomination, and then all the coins in each recycle coin storage unit 34 are automatically currencyd without any operation by the operator. It will be delivered to the coin storage cassette 42 of the storage unit 40.

As described above, according to the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment, the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the recycleable coin storage part 34 of the coin processing apparatus 30 is increased. If the amount is smaller than the preset amount, the bill or coin is processed in a delivery non-interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed independently of the delivery process, and the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 is processed. When the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 reaches a set amount, the money processing is performed in a delivery interlocking mode in which the payment process is performed in conjunction with the delivery processing. To do.

Here, when processing bills and coins only in the delivery non-interlocking mode in one transaction, when the amount of bills and coins deposited in the money handling machine 10 becomes excessive (specifically, For example, when the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 and the recycleable coin storage unit 34 are full, for example, banknotes and coins can no longer be deposited into the money handling machine 10 until the delivery process is performed. There's a problem. On the other hand, when processing banknotes and coins only in the delivery interlocking mode in one transaction, there is a problem that when the amount of banknotes or coins to be withdrawn is excessive, the change will run out. .

On the other hand, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, normally, bills and coins are processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, and the recycling bill storage unit 27 of the bill processing device 20 and the recycling type of the coin processing device 30 are used. Since the banknotes and coins are processed in the delivery interlock mode for the first time when the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the coin storage part 34 reaches a preset set amount, the recycled banknote storage part 27 and the recycled coins are stored. For example, when the portion 34 is full, it is possible to prevent the banknotes and coins from being deposited into the money handling machine 10 any more, and the amount of banknotes and coins to be dispensed as change is excessive. Even if it becomes, it can suppress that it becomes out of change. Further, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, whether to store banknotes or coins in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 or the recycleable coin storage unit 34 or to be delivered to the money storage unit 40 is determined on a transaction basis. For this reason, in one transaction, all bills and coins are transported to one of the money storage unit 40, the recycled bill storage unit 27, and the recycled coin storage unit 34. Even if this occurs, it is possible to easily determine where the bills and coins being transported are transported by the

transport units

25 and 35 inside the housing 11.

Moreover, in the money handling machine 10 of this Embodiment, the recycle type banknote storage part 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the recycle type coin storage part 34 of the coin processing apparatus 30 are under the first management authority (under the management authority on the store side). The money storage unit 40 is under the second management authority (under the management authority on the collection specific person side). For this reason, when the banknote and the coin are processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, the banknote thrown into the inside from the outside of the housing 11 is under the first management authority. On the other hand, the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 and the recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 reaches a preset set amount, When coin processing is performed, banknotes and coins are transferred from the first management authority to the second management authority.

The banknote processing apparatus 20 and the coin processing apparatus 30 are provided with a plurality of recyclable banknote storage units 27 and recycleable coin storage sections 34 for each denomination of banknotes and coins. The taken banknotes and coins are stored in each recycle type banknote storage unit 27 and each recycle type coin storage unit 34 for each denomination.

In the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment, the control unit 15 has the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 and the recycleable coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30, respectively. When it is smaller than a preset amount, banknotes and coins are processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode, and at least any one of the recyclable banknote storage units 27 and the recycleable coin storage units 34 is recycled. When the amount of banknotes or coins stored in the storage unit 27 or the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 reaches a set amount, control is performed so that all denominations of banknotes and coins are processed in the delivery interlock mode. It is like that.

Note that the control by the control unit 15 is not limited to such an example, and at least one of the recyclable banknote storage units 27 and the recycleable coin storage units 34 or the recycleable banknote storage unit 27 or the recycle. When the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the coin-type coin storage unit 34 reaches a set amount, the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and the recycle-type coin storage unit in which the amount of banknotes and coins stored reaches the set amount. Control may be performed so that only banknotes and coins of denomination corresponding to 34 are processed in the delivery interlocking mode. In this case, banknotes and coins of other denominations are continuously processed in the delivery non-interlocking mode.

Still another control method by the control unit 15 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7F. The control unit 15 can selectively control the money handling machine 10 as described below.

Hereinafter, a case where a banknote depositing process is performed in the banknote processing apparatus 20 by the control unit 15 will be described.

In the banknote depositing process in the banknote handling apparatus 20, when the operator puts a banknote into the banknote slot 21 of the banknote handling apparatus 20, for example, the banknotes fed into the banknote slot 21 are one by one by a banknote feeding unit (not shown). After being fed out to the transport unit 25, it is transported by the transport unit 25, and bills are identified in the recognition unit 26. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the identification unit 26 identifies a normal banknote, the banknote is sent by the transport unit 25 to the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 corresponding to the denomination of the banknote. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the identifying unit 26 identifies that the banknote is a rejected banknote such as a damaged or counterfeit note, the banknote is sent to the banknote reject port 22 by the transport unit 25. When the above banknote processing is performed, the control unit 15 counts and stores the banknote identification result for each denomination. In this way, banknote deposit processing is performed.

Moreover, when the amount of the banknote accommodated in each recycle type banknote storage part 27 exceeds the setting amount preset for every denomination of a banknote, when the control part 15 performs the above money_receiving | payment processes, At least the denomination banknote transport destination corresponding to the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 is switched from the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 to the banknote reject port 22 which is the outlet. Here, the set amount set in advance is, for example, the amount of banknotes that each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 is full (that is, the stacker is full) or each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 is almost full. This is the amount of banknotes that will become (stacker full). Note that the set amount is not limited to such an example, and instead, the amount of bills necessary for change or an arbitrary amount may be set as the set amount. Further, as described above, this set amount is set for each denomination of money. For example, when a banknote of a certain denomination is stored in two recyclable banknote storage units 27, the two recyclable banknote storage units 27 are full (stacker is full). The amount of banknotes, or the amount of banknotes such that each of the two recyclable banknote storage units 27 is almost full (becomes full of stackers) is set as the set amount of banknotes of this denomination. . The set amount is not limited to a fixed number but may be when a predetermined amount is detected by a sensor or the like. For example, the tape winding type storage unit can set the set amount when the end of the tape is detected by a sensor during winding. In the stacker type storage unit, the set amount can be set when the height of the stacked banknotes reaches a predetermined value.

An example of using the number of sheets as the set amount will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 7B. When the three recyclable banknote storage units 27a to 27c are configured to store a thousand yen bill, a 5,000 yen bill, and a 10,000 yen bill, respectively, FIG. 7B shows a case where the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b for storing the yen bills is full or near full, and the amount of banknotes stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b exceeds a preset set amount. As described above, among the bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and identified by the identification unit 26, the five thousand yen bill is conveyed to the bill rejection slot 22.

When all the bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 are sent to the inside of the casing 11 and counted by the identification unit 26, as shown in FIG. The bills that have been counted are fed out from each recycle-type bill storage unit 27 to the transport unit 25 and returned to the bill reject port 22. As a result, all the bills inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 are once returned to the bill rejection slot 22.

Thereafter, the amount (A) of bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and the amount of bills stored (B) stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27. Delivery process of delivering at least a part of banknotes of denomination whose sum exceeds the above-mentioned set amount (C) (that is, A + B> C) from each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 to the banknote storage cassette 41 I do. More specifically, in the above-described example, the amount (A) of bills inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and stored in the recyclable bill storage unit 27. It is a 5,000-yen bill that the sum of the stored bills (B) exceeds the set amount (C). For this reason, after all the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 21 are once returned to the banknote rejection slot 22, as shown in FIG. 7D, a part of the five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage section 27b It is sent to the banknote storage unit 29 by the transport unit 25 and held there. Thereafter, the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit 29 are automatically stored in the banknote storage cassette 41, and a delivery process is performed for the 5,000 yen bill.

More specifically, in the delivery process as described above, the control unit 15 recycles the input amount (A) of the 5,000-yen bill inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26 and the recycling. A recycle-type banknote storage unit for a 5,000-yen bill equal to or greater than the amount (A + BC) obtained by subtracting the set amount (C) from the sum of the banknote storage amount (B) stored in the banknote storage unit 27b 27b is delivered to the bill storage cassette 41. More preferably, in the delivery process as described above, the control unit 15 recycles the input amount (A) of the 5,000 yen bill that is inserted into the housing 11 from the bill insertion slot 21 and counted by the identification unit 26. Five thousand yen bills having an amount equal to the amount obtained by subtracting the above-mentioned set amount (C) from the sum of the five thousand yen bills stored in the banknote storage unit 27b (B) (A + BC) The recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 b is handed over to the banknote storage cassette 41.

More specifically, the amount of banknotes stored in each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 is 500, the set amount (C) of banknotes of each denomination is 490, and from the banknote insertion slot 21 to the housing 11 The inserted amount (A) of five thousand yen bills inserted into the inside and counted by the identification unit 26 is 200, and the stored amount (B) of five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b is 400. In the case of a sheet, 110 (= 200 + 400-490) five thousand yen bills out of 400 five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b are handed over to the bill storage cassette 41, and 290 sheets 5,000 yen bills will remain in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b.

Thereafter, the operator inserts the banknote returned to the banknote reject port 22 into the banknote input port 21 again, and performs the banknote deposit process as shown in FIG. 7A again. At this time, since a part of the five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b is delivered to the banknote storage cassette 41, the banknotes stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b in the second deposit process. The amount of coincides with the set amount. More specifically, after the second deposit process, the number of five thousand yen bills stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b is 490 (= 290 + 200), and this value is the set amount (C). Matches. For this reason, after the second deposit process is performed, as many banknotes as possible can be stored in the recyclable banknote storage unit 27b. Moreover, even if the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b becomes full or near full during the banknote deposit process, the banknotes deposited in the second deposit process can be collectively stored in the recycle type banknote storage unit 27b.

In the above-described example, a mode in which different denominations of banknotes are stored in the respective recyclable banknote storage units 27 has been described. However, a single denomination banknote is stored in the plurality of recyclable banknote storage units 27. In some cases. Hereinafter, with respect to an aspect in which a thousand yen bill is stored in the two recyclable
